ADVENTURERS CLUB TEST DRIVE



Kungaloosh, potential players, and welcome to the Adventurers Club test drive meme! This test drive will remain open until the opening of the round on June 21st.

Adventurers Club is open to Disney and Disney-owned characters only, and the same goes here. Feel free to test around characters you might wish to app, or just character options in general! If you have any questions, please feel free to consult our FAQ here. Please also list your character's name (canon also recommended) in the header of your top-level prompt.

Participating in the test drive does not guarantee you a spot in the game, nor does it represent a commitment to join. If you just want to have fun with us, go right on ahead! If you do decide on joining us, however, comments and threads from the test drive may be used in lieu of a writing sample on the application.

With that in mind, here are some possible prompts to get you started! Feel free to come up with your own as well.

1. Kungaloosh!

You find yourself awakening in a very ornate bed in a rustic room of your own, regardless of whether or not you actually went to sleep beforehand. It's not a place you're familiar with at all, which makes your appearance here all the more suspicious. Whoever put you here clearly knows who you are, however, given the short bio and portrait of you in the main foyer...propped up alongside several other faces you may or may not recognize.

That's right, did we mention you're not alone? Perhaps you'll enjoy meeting each other over this fantastic cocktail hour!

2. Adventure Is Out There!

The Adventurers Club might not be to your taste, but someone clearly put effort into decorating. Reeking of British-era colonialism, the club is filled with artifacts and photographs from various explorations. Amongst some of the rooms you'll have open to you are The Library, The Mask Room, The Zebra Mezzanine, The Treasure Room and...The Boudoir Shop.

Alternatively, feel free to come up with your own room and setting ideas! This is non-canon, after all.

3. Life Is Quite Absurd!

Pleasure Island is well-known across the world for it's celebrations, and though you might be here for...murder purposes, you gents are no exception. For you see, every night on Pleasure Island is New Year's Eve, and thus it is only fitting that we have a New Year's Eve masquerade ball!

Perfectly fitting formal clothing tailored to your character, as well as masks, have been delivered to your room. The normally boorish-lounge has been redecorated to have a semblance of class, complete with hors d'oeuvres and an open bar. For once, your mind seems to have been taken away from murder and madness. Come count down to the stroke of midnight, have a drink, and forget your worries.

...unless you decide to make opportunity of the fact that everyone is gathered in one place.

4. And Death's The Final Word!

A body has been discovered! This week, that body belongs to one Marvin Acme, who may or may not have been murdered due to a a sinister plot involving freeways and Dip. Still, you've been tasked with investigating the crime and piecing together clues before the inevitable trial. After all, the alternative doesn't...end well for you.

Alternatively, feel free to play out scenarios involving trials or murders in which your character is directly responsible.

5. The Backside of Water!

Wildcard Prompt! Anything else you'd like to play? Live your dreams!

Kungaloosh
Hey! I wanna speak to the manager! Or at the very least someone paid to lick customers' boots! This is libel and I will not stand for it!

[A portly man in a garish yellow suit is standing by the bios, screaming for attention.]

I was not, quite, "repeatedly outwitted by a pair of tweens," unquote! This is a gross misinterpretation of events and I demand recompense! Satisfaction! Several other large words!

Adventure is Out There
[The Treasure Room has seen a small modification today. A sign has been placed at the entrance, reading "Swimming Pit, admissions fee negotiable."]

[Bill has set himself up in a reclining lawn chair in front of the doorway, lounging in an antique-looking one piece swimsuit. A handwritten nametag declares him "lifeguard on duty".]


Hey, hey! You wanna go in, you gotta pay like everyone else, sorry not sorry. It's policy, my hands are tied, really."

And Death's the Final Word
Ha! Nice splatter pattern.

[Aren't you glad Bill's here to help with this crime scene? I bet you are.]

Guess he wasn't feeling very SAFE.

Get it? Cause his head's crushed.

Under a safe. Classic!

[It's good to find time to laugh in a dark situation, right? Or cackle maniacally.]

It's funny because human existence is terrible.

Wildcard
[Get weird, you know you want to.]

Ooh, yes! I have a, uh...

[Totally not subtle about grabbing some gold from the pile and offering it to Bill.]

A thing for you! Yes!
dannydorito: (tick tock kid)

[personal profile] dannydorito 2020-06-10 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hey, a thing!

[Bill makes a show of examining the offered gold.]

As it happens I am quite the connessieur of things, and I can say without a doubt that this is an absolutely top notch thing, really first rate, Six Pack.

[He sits back in the chair, all enthusiasm abruptly dropping from his tone.]

We're full up on things, sorry. What we are looking for is doohickeys, thingamabobs, or a whatsit if it's high quality enough.

Awww, stupid lousy— that was the only thing I had!

[He’s not really paying attention or listening to Bill talk or do his thing. To Mr. Simpson, it’s just kind of all dead air coming from a man who vaguely reminds him of his half-brother. Homer catches a few words, vaguely pieces together what Bill is saying, then proceeds to ignore it as he has come up with his own brilliant plan instead.]

Huh! Heeeyyy! Look over there, there’s twenty thingamobs!

[Very audible ‘hehehe!’ as he tries to crawl into the gold pile the second he thinks Bill is not looking. Even if he is.]

[personal profile] dannydorito 2020-06-13 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh WOW, a whole twenty? What a motherlode!

[Normally he might be a little mad that someone was being this blatant in their attempts to cheat around his scam, but this is just too entertaining. Bill needs to see how far this train of stupidity can go.]

[So he's gonna be not at all subtle as he looks back to watch Homer's efforts at being a rich duck.]


Hey, you should try the high-dive, that's what all the real pros do!

and death's the final word

[personal profile] doofenshmirtz 2020-06-10 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, good one!

[Dr. Doofenshmirtz peers at Mr. Acme currently crushed under the safe. He can't think of any villains who might use this as their trademark--certainly not any of the people here. Overall, it's kind of shoddy work.]

I have to say, this really doesn't read like something a villain would do. Yes, it's funny to drop big heavy things on other people, and I've had a few heavy things dropped on me, but where's the pizazz? Where's the-- [He gestures wildly with his hand.] --you know?
dannydorito: (pour some sugar on me)

[personal profile] dannydorito 2020-06-10 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Panache. And there's plenty here! Safe to the head is classic, getting the timing just right, the little moment of realization when the poor sap notices the shadow, maybe putting up a dinky little umbrella-

[Chef's kiss.]

[personal profile] doofenshmirtz 2020-06-10 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah, okay, but anyone can drop a safe on someone else's head. It's been done a hundred times! That's not being creative, that's just stealing ideas from other people!

[He crosses his arms, eyebrows furrowing.]

Tropes are terrible! You've got to broaden your horizons to get the truly creative stuff!
dannydorito: (why are you like this)

[personal profile] dannydorito 2020-06-10 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You're right. You know what's REALLY original? A nerd complaining about cliches and tropes.
doofenshmirtz: (14)

[personal profile] doofenshmirtz 2020-06-10 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey! I'll have you know that I'm the Doctor Doofenshmirtz! All my work is one hundred percent original, with absolutely no reliance on repeated tropes whatsoever!

[Maybe that's why he keeps failing.]
dannydorito: (I THINK I KNOW A GUY)

[personal profile] dannydorito 2020-06-10 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Pff, I'm older than time, Doctor Nerd, and lemme tell you. Humanity doesn't do "original," you're all just running around a little mental hamster wheel chasing cheese that isn't there and convincing yourselves you're going places!

[He pauses for a second, thinking.]

Wait, no, that's ridiculous. It's mice that eat cheese, isn't it. What do hamsters eat?
doofenshmirtz: (02)

[personal profile] doofenshmirtz 2020-06-10 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He pauses for a moment, scratching the back of his head.]

Don't they--Don't they eat sunflower seeds or something? There was that strange cartoon about tiny hamsters. Vanessa used to watch it when she was a little girl....

[He trails off, frowning.]
dannydorito: (tick tock kid)

[personal profile] dannydorito 2020-06-13 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bill snaps his fingers.]

Sunflower seeds, right! YOU'RE ALL JUST CHASING SUNFLOWER SEEDS THAT AREN'T THERE!
