TEST DRIVE MEME
 |
| Whet your whistle, try out the setting, and see who you want to bring to the party! Maybe you were showering, or sleeping, having breakfast. You might have been participating in your morning commute or fighting off a horde of zombies. Whatever you were in the middle of, a strange sensation of disconnection comes over you, as though you're watching your life on screen, a passive audience to the proceedings. It's almost like, well, being sucked down the drain like every adolescent nightmare, the feeling of disconnection replaced quickly with a pain so deep, it's as though every atom of your being is pressed too closely together, and your vision goes dark. Then, just as quickly as the pain came over it, it's gone, reality snapping back into place like a stretched rubber band. When your eyes adjust, you find yourself in a slightly spartan room, standing on a platform that seems to be made of glass or some sort of crystal. Energy currents in blues and greens swirl within it, dizzying and hypnotizing if stared at for too long. You're shocked from the vision by a cheery, bubbly voice that belongs to a petite brunette grinning at you from the base of the steps that lead down from the platform. She apologizes for any inconvenience you may have been caused, and hands you a small package, explaining that inside you'll find a phone, a directory of locations within the complex you've arrived in, a charge card with a balance of $500, and a key to a room in the dormitories which can be reached by following the green line on your directory. She apologizes again for how confusing this must all be, but assures you that everything will make sense soon! 01 ARRIVAL After receiving your mysterious package from the happy girl who identifies herself as Airy, she suggests you head out and explore! You find out pretty quickly, or have a lot of trouble figuring out, that you're in a vast underground complex that consists of a lot of areas the directory says are "RESTRICTED". Places you can access are listed as "Forest", "Rec Room", "Cafeteria", and "Dormitories". 02 FOREST Down a hallway across from a RESTRICTED area, a vast room filled with a living, breathing, underground forest can be found. Here, deep underground, the sun shines, a small creek flows, birds sing, and one could really believe they were outside. There's even a pleasant breeze! Weird, right? 03 REC ROOM On the opposite side of the complex, near the dormitories, one will find another vast room labeled "REC ROOM". Inside, there is a seating area with basic refreshments (water, sports drinks), board games, a more relaxed seating area with sofas and places to read, a separate room that contains exercise equipment, another with an indoor pool, and a small basketball court. In a separate game room, there are arcade machines, an air hockey table, pool table, and ping pong table. 04 CAFETERIA Across the main hall from the REC ROOM, one will find the double doors leading to the CAFETERIA. Outside, on a easel chalkboard, can be found the menu items available for the meal currently being served. Inside, several dozen tables and chairs take up most of the floor, and the din of conversation is comparable to a high school cafeteria. The older gentleman in the kitchen will come to the counter when approached to see which of the selection you'd like. We'd really recommend sticking to the offered selection. 05 DORMITORIES Situated in a wing complex near the REC ROOM and the CAFETERIA is the DORMITORY wing. Rooms are solo and very small, ten to a hallway, and contain a single bed, a small dresser with mirror, and a small standing closet. Each hall has a common room at the end with seating and a five shelf bookcase, off of which are male and female bathrooms with showers, and a laundry room with four washers and four dryers. 06 WILDCARD Start your own prompt! See what that phone can do, facilitate random encounters in any of the unrestricted areas! Go wild! Literally! |

Jonathan Byers | Stranger Things
[ As far as Jonathan was concerned, an underground forest was something pretty hard not to explore. He had been shocked and confused by his arrival in more ways than one, but he was the type that preferred to find his own answers than accept whatever was fed to him. The girl that had "welcomed" him didn't seem like a bad person, but he didn't trust her. He had to see what was going on with his own eyes.
Even with his camera at the ready to capture anything unusual or interesting, he was cautious to use it. He always carried extra film, but that didn't mean he shouldn't be mindful of what he decided was important enough to document. So far he didn't even know if he could develop it properly but having some record of things, even if it remained inaccessible for an indefinite period of time, was better than no record at all.
What he deemed important and what normal people would deem important were probably very different things, though. ]
06 WILDCARD
[ Once he concluded his business in the forest, getting a closer look at those asinine number of restricted areas was high on Jonathan's list of priorities. He probably didn't have a chance in hell of getting in to any of them so he wouldn't try, but that didn't mean there weren't clues to be found regarding what was inside. He'd gotten pretty good at finding things others didn't notice, and that was what he was banking on when he chose the first door to examine. ]
06
...well, they couldn't be too careful. With motions too quiet for a human to hear, the vampire tales this man into the nearest room, moving behind the man silently as the door slides shut behind them. It was the doors leading into the rec center, but that didn't stop Luther from issuing a warning, letting his voice be the first sound the man was allowed to hear.]
You're a curious one.
02 the Forest
In fact, the longer he stuck around this joint, the more realized he didn't remember. The movement of air, the chill of it on your skin, smells...they all seemed...new...and sort of exciting. That's probably why he ended up in that forest. Pine, spruce, the smell of water...the warmth of the sun. It was...it must be what new babies feel like.
Careful, Mallone. You're getting sappy. He removed his fedora to run a hand back through his hair and just...enjoy the environment, catching sight of the guy with the camera as he moved around a larger tree. He didn't come up short or anything, still being unused to others being able to see him, and he shoved his hands in his pockets while he closed the distance.]
Weird joint, right? It's gotta be magic or something.
[His tone actually makes it difficult to tell whether he's talking to the other man or to himself.]
