TEST DRIVE MEME

[consolemods]

Hey, so you've read the info and you know the premise! It's time to have a little fun doing that test drive thing before we all plunge into that Mock Week, right? So hey, have fun! The setting of the mock trial is going to be Wild West-inspired. That sort of cheesy Wild West flavor that's got maybe a little grit to it, right? You're free to do whatever you want with the locations and amenities, since it's a TDM and all. Feel free to have some fun making things up.

And now....


PROMPTS:
A. DOWNTIME!
1. Arrival! Hey, you've just woken up in this weird Old West town with some weird glasses on your face! Maybe you should mess around with those... or maybe you should leave the room and figure out who else the heck is here. It can't just be you, right?
2. Daily life! So you're stuck in this town. There's an invisible wall around the place, and there's some creepy rules encouraging you to start murdering each other. But... maybe you should just hang out with the other people who are here? You don't wanna get your murder on right away, do you?
3. Challenge! Hey. You're playing a stupid minigame. Pick a Mario Party minigame, or some kind of dumb video game minigame that's a huge departure from the normal gameplay. You're doing that now. Have fun!
4. Investigation! I'm guessing some of you are a little more proactive than others, so you might want to do a little bit of poking around the setting! With a friend, because two heads are better than one! Have fun with that.

B. MURDER!
1. Mmmmotive! So whoever's responsible for you being here has decided you've spent a little too much time not murdering people, and they've decided to give you a little extra push! But... what is that push? Maybe your family and friends back home seem like they're being held hostage, or maybe they're going to leak your deepest secret. Or maybe it's something that doesn't really affect you at all... but it might affect someone else a little more strongly.
2. Murder! YOU'D BETTER GET READY TO DIE. Or someone in your sights had better get ready to die. It's one or the other. Probably.
3. Body discovery! The best part of waking up.... is finding a corpse of one of the other players. Maybe it's a friend, maybe it's someone you hated, maybe it's someone you barely knew. Either way, you're going to have to play amateur sleuth and try to figure out whodunnit!
4. Trial! All the evidence has been found, so it's time... to talk it out! Who did the thing? Did you do the thing? You'd better figure out, or your life may be on the line.
5. Boss fight! Well, you picked the culprit, but they're not going down without a fight. Have fun fighting the mutant, monstrous version of whoever it was!
6. Afterparty! Well, that was definitely something new and different, huh. Probably pretty traumatic for everyone involved! It's time to regroup and maybe have a little food and stare at the wall for a while.

[Normal teenage girls might be a little put off by this game. This one, on the other hand, actually smiles a little before giving a serious nod.]

I see. So in this game, the bugs battle for dominance over the stump. [She leafs through the sample deck everyone got for this challenge.] Am I to assume that they dress this way because their clothing grants them an advantage?

[maddogs]

[ yup, that is definitely a teenage girl. but he nods!! lets go with that because ]

Honestly, the first time I played I thought it was just 'cause they wanted dudes ta oogle the goods - but I think it's kinda like armor in another game - different girls with different bug clothes are more important, an' some of them are fuckin' ridiculous. Ya'd think less clothes would mean less armor, but damn some of these half naked broads really pack a punch!

[ im gomen ]

[stavros]

[I mean. Her best friend looks like this. And that's not even the worst of it. Kokoro nods like this makes perfect sense to her.]

Perhaps they simply wish to show that they do not require the protection armour would give?

[maddogs]

Oh shit! Yeah.

[ i mean majima literally doesn't wear a shirt under his jacket, so that seems fair. ]

They're showin' off that their bug-bodies are made of steel.

[stavros]

[Kokoro nods again and looks over her deck.]

So this is played like those arcade games that require cards? They had some of those at home. This should be a simple challenge.

[maddogs]

Yeah! The better your cards, the better the girls. It's based on rock-paper-scissors. Ya know how that goes, right?

[stavros]

Well enough. [She picks out a card in shiny hot pants and looks it over.] So keep in mind not only the strength of the bug, but also her statistics in certain categories... those are these circles, correct?

[maddogs]

Yeah, 'cause ya pair up a girl with an attack but some of the attacks don't work as well with some of the cards.

[stavros]

I believe I understand. So you would like to play this bikini bug game?

[maddogs]

Absolutely! Let's do it!

[stavros]

All right!

[Kokoro looks over her cards. She draws one in yellow showing an absurd amount of cleavage, laughing to herself a little in what sounds like recognition. Then a few skills, which she sets in.]

And from there, it is button pressing...

[maddogs]

That's right!

[ majima puts his skills in and then picks paper for the first one!! ]

[stavros]

[no..... kokoro is button mashing like a champ but she went rock so she's gonna get flipped in a stupid OTT manner]

Truly a formidable game.
