THE TEST DRIVE MEME

SO YOU WANT TO JOIN THE CREEPY HOTEL BRIGADE.

Well, welcome potential apper! Here we have the handy dandy test drive meme so you can get a feel for how your character might react to the game setting. This post can also be used to cultivate some of those required sample threads for the application.

Feel free to play any scenario you so please. However please note that TDM threads cannot be used for Activity Checks (for existing players) and will not be considered game canon unless transposed comment for comment into logs in checkingout. We also recommend avoiding playing the initial arrival, so that the intro log doesn't become repetitive and boring for you. Other than that, go wild.

Here's a few additional useful links:

TAKEN | RESERVES | APPLICATION

BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS.

No time for losers, because we — have waffles and pancakes and crepes and delicate bowls of ripe bananas and juicy oranges. We have bacon and oatmeal and cereal and milk; we have coffee (that's really hot and will burn you quite spectacularly) and tea (that, on the other hand, is miserably cold and bland). And we have orange juice (that might just kill you)!

Basically, every component one needs to start the day off right. Which is good, because this is the only meal ever served in the hotel. So come one, come all — get it while it's hot and try to pick among seats amidst the crowded circular tables, or stand along the wall. Bemoan the lack of hashbrowns or fight over the last fork. Mix, mingle. Have "fun".

DON'T YOU LOVE MY TASTE IN MUSIC.

What starts as soft, subtle musical notes wafting out of unseen speakers?

Yeah, that quickly manifests into blaring, loud, aggressively high pitched notes — so distorted, and reverberating so magnificently in the main lobby that even those impenetrable windows rattle in their frames.

And what's more, there doesn't seem to be an off switch anywhere in sight. Good luck finding one.

GOING DOWN.

Right by the stairwell in the lobby is an old timey elevator, the sort that really ought to be manned by staff to insure that it's in decent working condition and won't kill you. But it's usually not. And usually doesn't run.

But today, your ears are treated to an oh-so pleasant ding, and the doors will slide open, offering a ride to the floor of your choosing. Finally, no more calf workouts on the stairs, right?

...well, you probably should have taken the stairs, because three seconds in the entire carriage shudders, screeches to a halt, and refuses to move.

Then the lights begin to flicker.

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE.

Don't see a scenario that appeals to you here? Make up your own. Get crazy with it! Good luck getting outside.

[The instant Coulson steps into the room the doctor's gaze is on him, narrowing as the smirk falls off his face and he frowns darkly. His eyes track the other's movements and he slowly pushes his chair back to stand, adjusting his suit jacket before he heads over to intercept the man.

Casually of course.]

Well well...Director Coulson.

[Coulson manages not to sigh out loud but the way he squares his shoulders and moves away from the general crowd to meet Cal half way is probably evidence enough]

Thanks for remembering my name.

Did you really think I would forget the man that is keeping my daughter from me?

[The words are spat out, Calvin's entire body tight from tension; from restraining himself. The last thing he needed to do was cause a scene just yet.]

[God. Coulson wishes he still has his weapon. Cal can hit hard and Coulson still remembers how that feels.]

Skye is capable of making her own decisions.

SHIELD has a habit of saying many things, Coulson, and not actually sticking to them.

[He doesn't trust you in the least, Phil. It's not going to do any good. In his head, you've kept Skye captive.

His hands clench tighter at his sides.]

We both know you agents don't have lives anymore.

Then you don't know me very well.

I'm not here looking for a fight.

[He knows it's a long shot but he's going to see how far he can get while trying to diffuse the situation]

I know your type well enough and wherever you go, trouble always follows, Mr. Coulson. You and yours feed on that sort of chaos.

[Not that he himself wasn't very much the same but, well, Phil was the villain in Calvin's story. It was as simple as that.]

Everything that's happened is because of you and SHIELD. You just can't stop messing with things you don't understand.

We all make mistakes. The important thing is to learn from it.

You should take your own words to hear then, Coulson, because you and yours never seem to learn.

[He flashes the other a rather cruel smirk.]

It's going to be your downfall.

[Coulson doesn't reacts to that. He worries about that enough on his own. But SHIELD is needed in the world. That much he believes in.]

Ever think that's just your own bias talking? HYDRA does worse things to the world and I don't see you having a problem with them.
