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.

No. [Thank god. He can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing. He shrugs his shoulders and smiles.]

You could say we're both men without commanders at this point.

[So, no Pierce. No Garrett. No apparent other heads of HYDRA lurking around. He'd ask about Von Stucker, but that guy was like a rash on a good day.

It wasn't like rank mattered here, but he had no doubt served longer.] So long as one man, woman or child believes in the cause, it remains alive wherever it is. The mission remains the same.

[Best to ally with both sides]

Cut off one head two more shall take it's place. There are people here who you could potentially recruit.

[Set him up, knock him down.

There's a way to prove that he's not dangerous and then...take Rumlow's reins.]

[The old saying, like the old salute had gone by the wayside in his mind. HYDRA was more than that; it was a way of life and everyone would come to appreciate it or die in the streets like they were supposed to.]

And I'm sure I'll recruit them when I decide that they would make worthwhile allies. I don't need your help in that.

[Of course that meant he would have to practice his people skills. Which mask was he going to bother to wear, huh?]

Of course you don't, but strength in numbers has always been a staple of the organization.

[Huh, he didn't remember the young operatives being gifted with such a silver tongue of reason. He softened just slightly, recognizing that what he had heard might not fit with the man himself. They were still HYDRA regardless of how wishy-washy that could be.

He still eyed Ward.] Agreed. However, I don't work with anyone that I don't have measure on personally. Take it or leave it, pup.

Me neither. All the more reason to explore this.

It will be awful regardless
