TEST DRIVE MEME
This is the test drive meme for Summer Camp Petosky. Feel free to use this to voicetest, gather samples for your potential app, or just have fun in the setting! Reserves open on May 20th. Hit up our FAQ with any other questions!
Feel free to come up with your own scenarios as well! This is just a sampling of the camp fun that you can be expected to have in the game. Here is our Locations page!
1. WHO INVENTED TRUMPETS
You awake with a start in one of the cabins that litter the campgrounds to the soothing sounds of A goddamn trumpet in your ear.
Alright, it's not in your ear persay, but it is being played from a stereo in your cabin, cheekily repeating itself over and over until you stumble out of bed and turn the damn thing off. 'Bed' in this case being one of the bunks in a bunk bed, wearing entirely unfamiliar clothing.
Welcome to camp. Get to know your fellow campers, your new roommates and the other people who are getting the same wakeup call in the cabins nearby.
2. WHO INVENTED FROGS
It's night. There's nothing around but the soft sounds of nature - the wind, gentle splashes from the lake, Frogs screaming all night -
Apparently, one of your counselors has gotten fed up with the noise, and kept you all up so you could go and hunt frogs, with a light and a container with a lid to keep all your catches in. You've got a partner and until daybreak, and the team with the most frogs at the end of the day gets a whole week's worth of tickets. Think of all the candy you could buy with that.
2A. MAYBE BREAKFAST IS A BAD IDEA
The next morning as you all file in bleary eyed from a long night of frogging, you'll notice the kitchen is serving up all your standard american breaskfast favorites: pancakes, bacon, eggs, frog legs-
Frog legs.
Hm.
3. WHO WANTS TO GO HORSEBACK RIDING?
Thankfully, it's not all frogs and mayhem. The Counselors take you out horseback riding through the woods - which would be a fun time if not for one little fact.
The Horses you're riding are all entirely made from living wood. They even like pets and make the appropriate horse noises somehow, but they're made from wood. They don't seem to be dangerous at least, but...
The counselors warn you to stay on the trail and not go off it, no matter how much the horses want to go there. If you decide the warnings are for suckers, well...You won't get very far off the trail before the horses buck you off and begin sticking their roots into you, forcibly sucking your blood with delighted whinnies. At that point? All you can do is hope someone hears your screams and chances coming to save you.
On the other hand, if you listen to the counselors? You get a pleasant ride through a beautiful forest. Maybe listen to the counselors for once, yeah? Or don't - it's your funeral.
4. CAMP SLASHAWAY
Looks like one of your fellow Campers has died - at the hands of one of your own, no less. Maybe you should get around to checking out the body, and make notes of the condition - because the counselors sure aren't going to be any help here. And if you happened to do it...well, maybe you'd be better off misleading them or obfuscating evidence.
5. TRIALS AND SMORES
It's night. the campfire is roaring, you're all seated around it, and now you've been told to do your best to find the killer. Of course, the killer will be punished, but the counselors say they'll only be put in time out - which is a small wooden shack nearby. However, you can all see that they've put the victim's body in there...which is gross and intensely unsanitary. Yet at the same time, something about that hut just...frightens you.
You'd better find the killer, and hope that no one votes for you tonight.
Chuuta Kokonose | ēlDLIVE
[Chuuta doesn't know a lot about frogs, and he really didn't want to know a lot about frogs, and this whole "catch some frogs all night long" thing isn't anywhere on his list of things he wants to do.
The 14-year-old is yawning a lot as he kind of sticks to the very edges of the pond, occasionally making half-hearted grabs at any frogs that are too distracted by singing to run away.
After about half an hour of this, he just... gives up and finds a spot behind a tree to curl up and go to sleep. Look, he needs some rest, okay.
That is, unless his partner for this "fun nighttime activity" is super determined to catch frogs. If that's the case, then Chuuta will be super determined too, though he kind of makes unhappy faces if he steps too far into the water, and sputters and flails a lot if he trips and falls.]
apparently I need more prompts than just frogs
murder
[It's not like Chuuta's never seen a dead body before.
It's just...]
I guess it's different when it's a human. [He says, talking to the air as usual (talking to the voice in his head) as he stares at the corpse, one hand pressed against his mouth like he's trying not to be sick.
He's seen aliens killed before, been splattered in gore in colors very different from human blood, even seen a body that looked like a human, but this is the first time he's seen a real human really dead.
He crouches down anyway, leans in close to the body of the other camper and rolls it over to investigate the back and the ground underneath, and grabs something from where the corpse's shoulders had been resting.]
trial
I don't think we should do this. [Chuuta says, sounding uncertain but determined as he looks around the fire.]
We can't just decide who the killer is, we're not trained for this. A-and even if we think we've found the right person, we can't... throw them in there. That's not right.
murder
Still, for this to happen so soon...
He's grim faced as he searches the body, but notices that Chuuta grabbed something - and frowns, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder before he can run off with it.]
What did you find?
no subject
I... I don't know. [It's a piece of paper, folded into a little star.]
I mean, it's origami, but I don't know if it's a... a clue or not. [He doesn't like this, something being so easy, like it's some kind of game.]
no subject
Anyway, he focuses on the piece of paper in order to push down his faint hurt at the shock, reaching out to gently take the origami.]
Do you think the killer dropped it?
[He's also carefully unfolding it - there might be something written on it, after all.]
no subject
[Before she died.]
[Chuuta flinches again at Drew loudly reminding him about the corpse in his head. The corpse of a girl who just wanted to make people smile.]
... She gave me a rocket ship, because of my name. ["Chuuta" is written something like "space is magnificent".]
no subject
[The paper is plain, with no stains or marks - so he frowns and puts it in the pocket of his too-short shorts. He catches that flinch - and puts a hand on Chuuta's shoulder again, but much more gently than before, because he's sure this has to be hard on him.
It's always hard, when you're not used to death.]
...Do you need to sit down, or...?
[He says it gently, concern clear on his face.]
no subject
Ichigo's second question is a little trickier, and Chuuta swallows hard, forcing down the bile rising up in the back of his throat and trying to get control of the nausea.]
We have to figure out who did this. [He says, and turns his attention back to the body. There weren't any injuries on her back, but her torso is another story.
]
M-maybe I will sit down. Just for a minute. [And he does, resting his head on his knees. He may be a space cop but he's still a 14-year-old kid, and this kind of gore makes him want to throw up.]
