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.
THE COUNSELORS
no subject
[The whole frog catching thing? Was Stan's idea. Of course it was Stan's idea. The old man is lounging in what looks like a lawn chair, leaning back and taking a sip from something that looks distinctly alcoholic.]
Keep going, kids! Don't stop until you've got all those hoppy bastards. ...Is 'bastard' too much? Kinda old fashioned. Listen, if you repeat that in front of your parents, don't bring your ol' pal Stan into it. I don't want anymore angry parents knocking at my door yelling about how I've corrupted their 'precious darlings', alright?
[Beyond that, though, he basically...does very little beyond handing out baskets, and even...falls asleep an hour into it, snoring away. Is he even going to give out tickets by the end of this?]
2A
[Despite the late night, Stan has been practically grinning into his pancakes all morning, watching the kids dance around the frog legs with queasy expression or seeing them go into the kitchen. When breakfast is almost over, he suddenly clears his throat and stands up.]
I gotta joke for you kids! How do you make frog legs?
[A pause.]
In a croak pot! Geddit? A croak pot!
[He has the widest goddamn grin on his face. This is truly his shining moment.
After a second to let his wit sink in, he sits down.]
Heh heh, I slay me. Oh yeah, by the way - I released all the frogs you caught this morning. Mostly.
Arts and....Crafts?
[Oh boy! It's arts and crafts time! The person overseeing you today is Stan, and he's got -
A bunch of rectangular sheets on the table? And...paint?]
Alright, so today we're going to be testing your artistic capabilities by seeing how well you can copy another piece of art. Here's what you'll be copying from.
[And he holds up -
A 20 dollar american bill.
Hm.]
2A
What, seriously? I didn't think the name of this place was Camp Douchenozzle.
no subject
[Also, he's already slapping that hand in a high five.]
Unless you actually wanted all those frogs for some weird teenage reason.
no subject
Well maybe now I wanna stick 'em in somebody's underwear drawer.
no subject
I like your moxie, kid. I left some frogs in the kitchen for the bleeding hearts to freak out about - feel free to take 'em if you want 'em.
no subject
[have fun with finding them in YOUR drawer later because YOU didn't have to listen to his best friend whining about it all night. he might leave one for Death The Kid too, because really, what a snob]
no subject
The frog pranks will never end.]
no subject
arts and crafts
[ subaru will even raise his hand like a polite young man. (?) ] Why're we copying these bills, anyway? They're kind of ugly, don't you think... ~!
2
Mister Stan! Gonta got frogs for you!
[If the enthusiastic announcement didn't wake you up, the frogs escaping from the basket and hopping all over you will. Gonta kind of overlooked that part, oops.]
no subject
SON OF A-
[He cuts himself off when he remembers he's still in the presence of a teenager, switching to-]
Jjjjumping bean! Gah, kid - a little warning next time?
no subject
[Here, he's offering a hand to help the old man up.]
no subject
Long as you don't dump a bucket of frogs on me again, we'll call it even.
So! You done with the challenge? How many frogs did ya get?
no subject
[He pauses to count the frogs in the basket, capturing some of the escapees while he's at it.]
Uh... Gonta got 23- [Oop, missed one.] 24 frogs. That good number of frogs?
no subject
[A pause.]
It's a great number of frogs! Highest frogs caught so far! You're a frog catching machine, Gunter.
[Stan, it's Gonta.]
no subject
At least he's willing to overlook that because he did really well!]
Thank you! Gonta learn how to catch frogs from forest family. Not as good at it as catching bugs, but good enough.
no subject
[She's not in the cabins of course, but she can be found outside the lodge, looking just a touch tired and trying her best to cover up how much she dislikes the counselor uniform she is wearing. Her name tag says 'Red', by the way.]
3
[She's there, handing out the horses to everyone. Unlike earlier, she doesn't seem quite as grumpy anymore. She's even treating these horses lovingly, like they're pets rather than horrible abominations.]
Do take care with this one, she is a bit skittish.
Canoeing
[Yeah, she's not out on the water at all. She's helping to launch the boats, but she is definitely staying on the shore and not going in a canoe herself.]
If you need help securing your life vest, let me know.
[Because she's not going out there to help anyone who tips over.]
Canoeing
U-uh... Miss Red? Gonta need help with life vest... [He pouts as he shows her a life vest with the straps... Er, snapped off?] It no fit.
[Does this camp even have life vests in his size?]
