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.

[and here's Mitsuru, also rocking the pleated shorts and collared shirt look, her own necktie wound into the perfect looking ribbon. she stands with one hand on her hip, the other holding her own frog container underneath her arm. and she does not look impressed]
[also, she does not look like she belongs here]
You only have the privilege to reap the rewards if you put in an equal amount of effort.
[. . .]
[she doesn't want to crawl in dirt and mud, okay. spare her]
no subject
Do you not understand the language I am speaking? I am too large to fit under this obstacle. Someone smaller than myself will have to look there.
[And he blinks, tilting his head at look at her closer. Then reach out to pat her on the shoulder with his right hand, if he can. He's definitely moving it more than his left.]
Unless you believe yourself to be larger than you are? Chisato thought the same and went on a diet. But I assure you, you have nothing to worry about.
1/2
-- what?
no subject
I assure you, my response has nothing to do with my size, but rather your attitude in demanding I complete the majority of the hard work.
no subject
[And he nods, still grasping her shoulder. Still speaking in that even voice.]
Besides, I have little interest in catching frogs when my company is so distressed. Speak your mind, keeping it inside is unhealthy.
[It's concern? From someone who doesn't actually know how to be nice.]
no subject
[and Mitsuru's refusal to crawl in the mud. . . . . .]
And I wouldn't say I'm distressed. Just-- [HUFFS A SHARP BREATH] Nevermind. If we're going to complete this task, we should get going.
no subject
You must really like sweets if you intend to win this challenge. Very well, I shall aid you.
[That's it right? But he'll help, with his one uninjured arm.]
no subject
No. It isn't the candy I'm after. Something important was taken from me upon my arrival, and I need to get it back.
no subject
Of the things I could ask for, my own clothing may be what I wish for the most. I dislike the shorts we have been given. The sight of my legs is a gift that I did not want to give to everyone, but they have left me no choice.
[It's said so seriously. He misses his suits. He's too tall for shorts to go well.]
...Though I suppose I should ask for Baku, so the silly animal doesn't get stuck in a bottle again.
no subject
No no, as much as I'd prefer to be wearing those instead of this poor excuse for a uniform, that isn't it, either.
[but she doesn't elaborate or clarify, okay, Mitsuru. mostly because she gets caught up in what he says next--]
Forgive me, but when you say "baku," are you referring to the dream eaters of legend?
no subject
That's right. He's inconsistent, but he has his uses. He likes to sit in my breast pocket.
no subject
[a very confused beat]
[and then--]
If a creature like that can truly be purchased through the camp store, then I would hope they've been taking good care of him in your stead.
no subject
Even if they didn't, that creature is working against Darwin. His hobbies include swimming in bowls of boiling miso soup.
[He should probably be more concerned about his pet. But no.]
no subject
[hm]
I suppose such lack of survival instincts cannot always be helped.
[HM]
no subject
[Who are you anyway?]
no subject
[her fingers twitch around her frog-catching container]
Perhaps. Though to be frank, it's unimportant. Especially since--
[she stops walking and holds up a hand, red eyes flickering to the path ahead, which has just lit up with a series of tiny croaks]
We're getting close.
no subject
be a pain in the butttry friendship. But he pauses, his eyes flitting to the hand.]They're in the bushes to the side of the path. Close to the water...A quick escape route. And a risky place for us.
no subject
[Mitsuru's gaze narrows]
Then, we'll need to calculate a plan of attack. A strategy to take our enemies off guard.
[she seems so intense, they're just frogs]
no subject
I see. We have an unknown number of opponents and low visibility, which strategy should we use?
[He's serious? But that's about normal. It's the same indifferent look that he's always done.]
no subject
A two-pronged pincer attack, to flush them out. We have the superior abilities, so once we chase them out of hiding, it should be quite simple from that point forward.
no subject
[He nods. Crouching slightly, preparing to run.]
With my injury, I am better off approaching from the left side.
no subject
[she clutches her container tightly, swiftly stepping to the right of the patch of grass from which the croaking is coming]
Shall we move on my signal?
