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.

Have fun!

[ That stony gaze. That intense look. Those gray eyes... yeah. Just like his leader. To be fair, Serph's eyes were blue now, but. Still. ]

... I 'ave no idea if dat was a joke or not, but I'm guessing... dat's what we be lookin' for?

[le_mat]

[He smiles slightly, breaking the stony look]

Yeah. They're not easy to keep hold of and they piss on you if you grab them, but those tickets sound pretty nice.

[velocirainbow]

Ain't no worse den an angry Slime.

[ A pause, and he chuckles a little. ]

And dey much smaller, too. How hard can it be to grab 'em? ... I feel a little bad, though. I mean, dey just mindin' dere own business, right? Ain't we bothering dem? Just... doing dere thing? Making their... what'd Sera call it... a song? That noise dey make.

[le_mat]

...

[He looks down at the frog, frowning]

Point.

[Be free buddy! He sniffs his hands and scowls, wiping them on his pants]

I like their singing, honestly. Reminds me of home.

[velocirainbow]

[ ... The dilemma of the campers and the frogs, am I right. Cielo's not sure he can condone it either... ]

On de other hand, if we don't do it, we don't get nothin'. ... Dey sure like puttin' us in a hard spot. Kinda reminds me a bit of home. Devour or devoured.

[ Glancing at a frog at his feet. He shakes his head and sighs, though. ]

I ain't got no reason to go after dem tickets, though. I ain't got nothin' to gain, but me clothes, and as much as I'd like 'em back... the only significance is de color of 'em. And I can put dat on anythin'. What about you?

[le_mat]

Nothing I really need. Not that they'd give me, at least. And they like having us do things for tickets all the time, so it's not like we won't have other chances.

[ 'Devour' catches his attention, but he keeps his mouth shut for now]

[velocirainbow]

[ ... He smiles. ]

Wanna just goof off instead? If we gonna be up at dis hour, we might as well enjoy it.

[le_mat]

Hell yes.

[FUCK THE POLICE AKA ADULT AUTHORITY]

[velocirainbow]

[ Sweet. This is a big mood lifter. ]

Awright! If we gon be so close to dat lake, I was thinkin' of doin' a little bit of late night explorin', if you catch my drift.

[le_mat]

Sounds like a plan. The 'counselors' are focused on the others, so now's a perfect time.

[velocirainbow]

I'm looking for somethin' really good to eat, honestly. Been awhile since I've been able to hunt, you know? And whatever it is they serve, it feels so... unnatural. All weird an small an junk. None of those natural juices.

[ He's just gonna clear his way through the underbrush a bit, then stop. ]

You mind if I change? Gonna be waaaay easier to navigate if I can see de other way I do, and smell de other way I normally do... you know. You get me?

[le_mat]

[The first time he had seen Cielo's other form he had been half convinced he could contract with it. Still, he's not as uncomfortable around it as a lot of the others are- at least this demon doesn't have rows of tits or anything like that.]

If you're more comfortable. I don't mind it.

[velocirainbow]

It'd be totally faster.

[ He'll change, his Atma mark glowing, and in an instant, he's taller as Dyaus. And much more colorful. He can't really... fly anymore, which really does stunt him, but he's gotten used to that. He can see things differently, seeing through heat and smell versus vision. He'll use the blade on his head to cut through the underbrush and they'll be at that lake in no time at all. ]

All right, dat's what I'm talkin' about...! Dere's bound to be somethin' good in dis water! Bet I could pop down dere and find somethin' real big. Some kinda demon, maybe.

[le_mat]

Or a shark. Please don't get eaten by a shark.

[He kinda looks like a shark though, so it's probably fine??? Still, lake sharks. They're a thing in Michigan]

[velocirainbow]

... What's a shark? Dere you go again wid all dese weird things. Why can't dey just be normal, like, I dunno, Catoblepas or Bicorns?

[ What the actual fuck is a shark, Ren. ]

[le_mat]

[...look, he knows what a Bicorn is, but it's not fucking normal, Cielo you fucking soda-named bastard plz]

It's a... damn it you don't know what a fish is. Erm. Big water demon. Lots of teeth. Could super kill you.

[velocirainbow]

Can't be bigger den an angry Tan-ki. Dey get suuuuupa huge.

[ Holding his wings out for emphasis on the "huge". IS THAT A CHALLENGE HE HEARD. ]

Sides, dat's just more food! Den whateva I don't eat you guys can do your weird thing where you burn it for some reason like Heat does.

[le_mat]

Or we could just night fish. But if you want to jump in I'm not stopping you. Just remember if you catch something big Stan and Red will probably notice when we bring it back.

[Which honestly might be kinda hilarious. Go for it buddy]

[velocirainbow]

Dey totally want us to bring stuff back. Dey neva said we couldn't bring back somethin' from de lake.

[ He grins. ]

I didn't even know what a frog was before a couple hours ago, I got a good excuse.

[le_mat]

.... point.

[He sits on the lake bank, ready to see what Cielo can do]

[velocirainbow]

[ Water is just thick air. It ain't no big deal. He's been in this much water before, he's fought demons underwater before. Once he's down there, he realizes heat is not an option--his vision is a bit cut off. These animals are cold-blooded. But he CAN still pick up some things down here, thanks to being a demon. He's not flying totally blind. He'll use some weak Zio spells to send out impulses to see what he can pick up.

Eventually, he gets a ping--something big enough, at least. It seems like it's hunting something, but the poor thing is about to meet a decently sized rainbow raptor.

He's down there for what seems like a worrying amount of time, but eventually, he surfaces with the shark's tail literally in his jaws and... spits it out onto the shoreline.

Hey, to his credit, he hasn't eaten it yet! ]

Was dis little guy what you were talkin' about?

[le_mat]

[That sure is a fucking shark.

Though it isn't the giant monster Ren was picturing, it's still a shark. He gets up and goes to take a look, staying well outside flail range]

It's a little fishy.

[velocirainbow]

[ The despair. The despair in his raptor-voice. ]

Aw mon... dis thing is little? I gotta try 'arder next time...

[le_mat]

!! No, it's fine!

[Please don't go back in]

[velocirainbow]

... You sure?

[ HE COULD GET A SECOND SHARK. ]
