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!
"Honest" John Worthington Foulfellow } Pinocchio
[John Worthington Foulfellow is a greedy and lecherous creature of habit. Even in a highly stressful situation of murder and intrigue, "Honest" John is out to make a quick buck. That nature is masked for the most part by a layer of charm, but he's still out to scam others when the opportunity presents itself.]
Ah, you there! Care for a game of chance?
[If you're walking through the foyer today by your lonesome, John will be calling out to you. He's set up a milk bottle game in the corner, stacking three metal milk bottles into a pyramid. A table of assorted selection of prizes (a few assorted knickknacks, along with a regain or two you might recognize) is set up by the game to help entice prospective players.]
Nothing could be easier! Simply knock over all of the bottles using the three softballs I've provided, and you'll win a prize of your choice! Your entry fee is a mere two tokens. However, being the generous fox I am, I'll also accept payment in the form of any trinket you have that is of interest to me.
[Little do you know that the bottom rightmost bottle is filled with lead and the three softballs have an extra emphasis on "soft" - they're filled with beads to lower your chances.]
II. killing time
[There's very little of interest to John otherwise - especially once he realizes that some of these other suckers are on to his tricks. It leaves him bored, and a bored J. Worthington Foulfellow is a dangerous thing.
Occasionally, you'll find him pilfering from the treasure room. It's nothing too overt - a stolen diamond here, a pilfered necklace there...all tucked into his pants pockets quite stealthily. If you have your own valuables in an unprotected spot, you might find them disappearing as well. John is quite the pickpocket!
Most other things inspire little interest from him, but he's especially disgusted by the boudoir room.]
My, a literal pig must be running this whole affair! Such a lack of respect for the womenfolk amongst us, wouldn't you agree?
[Said while casually stealing a piece of lingerie.]
III. wildcard
[punch him in the face]
games of chance
[Except the one lucky break when playing that baseball game back in--hey wait a minute, speaking of which. Chicken Little's attention once properly focused on the table of knick-knacks causes his eyes to widen when he recognizes something being offered there.]
H--Hey, where did you get that?
[He asks, pointing to a baseball uniform on the table. It's labeled for a team in the city of "Oakey Oaks", and looks like it would be in Chicken Little's size, along with the baseball glove accompanying it...]
no subject
[Never mind the fact that he called it a game of chance three seconds ago.
Poor boy. Even here, he can't get away from foxes who want nothing more than to see him suffer. It's Chicken Little's fault in John's eyes, anyway. The boy has every opportunity to use his common sense here, and yet, doesn't seem to recognize the inherent chicanery at work.]
Why, that? What does it matter where I acquired it, young Master Little, when winning will allow it to be yours?
[Something of sentimental value to the chicken? How interesting! Perhaps the junk that comes out of that machine isn't trash after all.]
no subject
[... Though, it possibly has his actual name of "Ace Cluck" rather than "Chicken Little", at least for the glove. Or maybe it does have "Chicken Little" on that too in addition to the town uniform, he wouldn't be shocked if they insisted on that nickname being written on his stuff too when they gave it to him. He's never actually thought he would need to check before until now.]
no subject
[...this is bullshit and he knows it is. Irregardless! There is a hustle to be had here, and he is not about to let the world's most sheepish poultry interrupt it.]
No, no. I simply won't release it for free.
no subject
[He flounders for a bit, opening and closing his beak and raising a hand in objection, before eventually, he sighs, and his hand drops back down, appearing to relent for now.]
Fine... what was it that you wanted for them again?
games of chance
[Honest John's presence is a strange kind of relief for Roger. Their paths might not have crossed professionally but it was good to have at least one person Roger recognized, even if that person had been attached to a bigger project than Roger had- well, maybe he'd HOPED for something as big as a feature film, or signing with a studio like Disney, but it had never realistically been in the cards.]
[The commitment to the villainous kayfabe might be a little off-putting. But also, honestly? Respect. Maintaining the bit was important, maybe doubly so in such a stressful situation.]
I got lotsa stuff, hang on-
[He might have been stripped of any usual belongings after arrival, but he's made an effort to restock since then for just such an occasion. So hold on as he pulls- well, honestly, it's a lot of junk from the interior of his coveralls. A lot of which are absolutely too big to have fit. A baseball, an anvil which is briefly dropped on his toes after being removed, an entire roast ham, a bowling ball, an actual kitchen sink-]
[this might take a while]
no subject
The commitment by the actor here must be incredible.]
Alright, boy, you've made your point-
[He will, however, very casually pocket that roast ham while he thinks Roger isn't paying attention. The boy has enough props and the fox is hungry!]
Boudoir
I guess? What would you consider respectful of us "womenfolk", John?
no subject
[He almost sounds offended that he has to expand upon the one-sentence opinion spouted sarcastically while stealing lingerie.]
We have no idea what sort of creeps lie in waiting among us! Have you seen that rabbit character, with his shifty overalls and garish bowtie? Some of these individuals are trouble.
