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.

He doesn't know what Nirvana is but it sounds like the Dawn.]
They say the Night is always darkest before the Dawn. Even before the sun stopped rising. Maybe... Maybe that battle, everything collapsing, maybe that was your darkest moment. Things can only get better from there.
no subject
[ He laughs, smiling. Admittedly, he is SUPER WORRIED about all of his friends and the fact the Junkyard was collapsing and all of it but what can you do. ]
Always gotta look on de bright side of things, right? I'm sure everybody's fine. Our leader's so tough he got through Sera's supa-powered cyber... whatever it is she do. None'a us could move and he just willed himself out of it cuz he looooove her so much.
[ He grins really wide at that, placing his arms behind his head. ]
Maybe I just got stuck here and dey all already in Nirvana waitin'.
no subject
Ignis is the best.]
Don't think of it as getting stuck. It's just a stepping stone, yeah? I'm sure there's something we can learn from all of this.
And you'll see them again soon. [Who are you trying to convince, Tal?]
no subject
We just gon' have ta work extra hard 'ere, right brudda? You got comrades, too?
no subject
Yeah. There's people I need to get back to. [And too many he's had to say goodbye to over the Night.]
no subject
[ He is struggling. He moves his hands together, making a motion of "closeness" with them. ]
Like dat? ... Mon, I ain't good with words like otha people, sorry brudda.
no subject
Good friends, best friends even. I... have some people I'm close with but... [Hazel eyes downcast and a little sad, a little wistful.] A lot of people have died, too.
no subject
... Yeah! Friends. Dat's a good word. Dat sounds... right. Friends. But... closer den dat. Best friends. I like dat.
[ He'll play with one of his dreds for a moment and then glance over at Talcott. ]
I know de feeling. Lotta people we know... dey died, too. Devoured by others, taken by de hunger... but you gotta keep goin'. You gotta honor deir sacrifices.
no subject
[Soft and considering before he finally looks back up at Cielo and offers him a smile, bright and hopeful and he nods his agreement.]
Yeah! Dino wouldn't want me to give up. Especially when we're so close.
no subject
It can be real hard, bro. But if you eva need somebody, I'm here, ja? I'm happy ta be your friend, too.
no subject
[He nods his agreement though. He hasn't really had friends his own age before, it's... a little bit odd. Usually "friend" was a term he used for people that mostly just considered him an asset. Which had never bothered him before but it was certainly enough to make you think. ]
