JULY/AUGUST TEST DRIVE MEME
You're like an angel with no wings.





Prompt A: Serious Event

In each trip a character makes from their room, they will have one random encounter with a monster (or monsters) that will attack them. Fight, team up with others, run away if you think you can, but there are monsters. Everywhere.

Prompt B: Lighter Event

The mansion is gone and now we're all camping! Women on one side of the camp and men on the other with a large picnic area in between. It's like summer camp except there are no counselors. You are in charge of making your own food and fun. If you wander too far out in the woods, you'll just get lost and wind up at the campsite again. Make s'mores! Tell spooky stories! Have fun!
Prompt C: ediS rorriM

Peace has been restored to the mirror side with the White Queen ruling, but she does have a request: get to know one another, dear mirrors. She's hosting a 1990s dance party and you're all invited. Jam out to Spice Girls and mingle.

Prompt D: Choices

Any scenario goes! Thread out your character's arrival, have them act like a long-established resident, let our past events inspire your scene, or write up literally any Wonderland-based scenario you feel like playing with.

Rules

Test drive memes go up every other month. Please note that any threads made as part of the test drive meme don't count towards your activity check, and they can't be used as samples for any future applications. Thank you for understanding, and have fun!

Janet | The Good Place

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-18 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Camping

[ Janet has never been camping before. Actually, Janet hasn’t done a lot of things. She knows how to do a lot of things but knowing and doing are very different. As such, when everyone fishes, she simply sticks her full arm into the water and cheerfully looks up at the person closest to her. ]

I don’t think this is working very well, but I do think it would work better if I had a fishing pole.

[ Later, while everyone’s eating s’mores, she only makes them, putting a large stack on a tray and walking around, asking people if they’d like more, generally trying to be helpful. You see, Janet isn’t programmed to never be useful. She has to do something. But when people turn down her plate of s’mores, she sits and folds her hands in her lap. ]

I’m feeling something. I think it’s...sadness, which I have felt before but under very different circumstances. Why would I be sad, just because you jerks won’t eat my s’mores? Oh, no, I think that was rude.

[ She smiles brightly. ]

I hate being here!

Network

Hello. I’m Janet. I was programmed specifically to be a sentient personal assistant with the knowledge of everything, everywhere. But I can’t seem to access anything about this place. From what I can tell, this is some sort of variation on the Lewis Carroll story, Alice in Wonderland. What I do know for sure, is that it isn’t the Good Place or the Bad Place. It is just a Place that exists nowhere.

[ She shrugs with a smile at that. ]

No one told me life was gonna be this way!

[ There are some things she’s retained from Michael binge-watching Friends. The lyrics to the theme song is apparently one of those things. ]

I did find out I still work functionally the same, so if you need anything, just say my name! I can’t access my Void, so I guess I have to pick a room here to live in, which means I do have a question.

[ She pauses, tilting her head and trying to figure out a way to ask. ]

How do you live? What should I do first? I’m feeling very confused, which is even more confusing because I’ve never felt confused before.

Misc

[ Did your character say ‘Janet?’ Were they even trying to summon her or were they just talking about a Janet they know? Whatever the case may be, she’s here now, instantly appearing out of nowhere right behind you and cheerfully announcing her presence, hands clasped behind her back. ]

Hi there! What can I help you with?

[Okay, just because he managed to get close to ONE robot doesn't mean he's gonna trust ALL the robots. So, congrats Janet. You get an anonymous text message.]

hold up a sec

you're saying you're some kinda magic robot or something???
janetisme: (12;)

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-19 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Janet is all video responses all the time, and smiling. ]

Hello! I'm not magic. Or a robot.
shslliar: (Orly?)

[personal profile] shslliar 2018-07-19 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Somehow this is more creepy.]

okay then what are you

I'm Janet! Also, I already explained what I am.

Camping

[personal profile] twirlier 2018-07-19 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[It might not be ideal for some people but Misty loves it. She loves sleeping out under the moon and clouds. She loves wandering through the woods until she finds herself lost and confused and then back by the campfire again. It's all perfectly wonderful and she could stay here forever.

Not everyone might be though, and she realizes that hearing someone complaining about something about being sad.

Tucking her shawl a bit tighter about her, Misty came over and drops down beside her.]


Awww, don't be sad about that. I'd love a s'mores, if you're still sharin'.
janetisme: (10;)

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-19 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ At the offer, the plate just appears again in Janet's hands and she holds it out, smiling. ]

I'll always share. All you have to do is ask! But this isn't where I'm supposed to be, so I think I still hate it.
twirlier: (Rhiannon)

[personal profile] twirlier 2018-07-19 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Misty blinks at the sudden display, looking to Janet rather than the plate.]

How'd you do that? I mean, illusion or did you manifest it?

[Though Misty does snort at that.]

I don't any of us are supposed to be here. I know I'm not, but I'm not complainin'. Not after where I was. I'm gonna love this place until they send me back to Hell.
janetisme: (10;)

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-21 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Janet has never thought about how, she just does. ]

It's what I was programmed to do. I get everyone what they need at any time.

[ But then she hears 'Hell' and she straightens up a little. ]

Did you meet the bad version of me? I apologize for her attitude and the various noises she makes with her body. We're not the same.
twirlier: (Tribe)

[personal profile] twirlier 2018-07-22 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Programmed? [Misty frowns then, nose wrinkling as she clutches the end of her shawl in one hand though she does reach for one of the s'mores.] Pretty impressive though. Can y'do that with anything?

[Taking a bite, she chews it curiously as she watches Janet, considering that question. Though she shakes her head after a moment, swallowing.]

I admit, I don't think I met anyone that looks like you. There's another you in Hell? [Now that's interesting. Not entirely good but interesting.

Though when she speaks, her voice is soft and low, gaze on the ground before them.]
I only saw a few people in my Hell, and it kept playing over and over again. I didn't see many.

janetisme: (10;)

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-23 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! What would you like?

[ Janet is here to serve, after all, it's what she does best. ]

Oh, your Bad Place was Repetitive torture. I don't have much experience there but I hear it's a classic favorite torture scenario. Bad Janet is the worst, so you would absolutely know if you met her.

[ Thanks to all of her reboots and learning a bit more each time it happens, she's able to realize she's feeling something and looks at Misty. ]

That must have been terrible. I'm sorry you experienced that.

[ If she sounds rehearsed, it's because she isn't sure she's ever said those words before, and they needed to be perfect. But it's no less sincere. ]
twirlier: (Default)

[personal profile] twirlier 2018-07-23 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing right now. I have this after all.

[She holds up the s'mores she's nibbling on.]

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, but nothing like that kind of materialization. Telewhatever it is though so I can move things. Which is pretty useful.

[Misty snorts at that.]

Bad Place. Huh. Never heard it referred to that way. Just as Hell, and it's what I get for not being strong enough to get out. The others did though. Least I think they did. Maybe not. Not that they had any choice but to leave me there. Not even a Supreme is that strong.

[That doesn't make it hurt less though. Glancing at Janet, she offers a tight smile.]

Thanks. It was awful, but I'm here now and I know a lot of people don't like it. Like you don't, but for me? This is wonderful.

Did you really live in a Void before you came here?

[ i mean what else is she going to hone in on here. ]
janetisme: (12;)

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-21 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! An endless void filled with nothing.
assistanting: (Everything that you could keep beside)

[personal profile] assistanting 2018-07-21 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
When we leave this place can I go back with you?
janetisme: (9;)

[personal profile] janetisme 2018-07-21 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately, I don't think I can take anyone with me. But when you die, we might see each other again! I'll be there to help you in the Good Place. Or, Bad Janet will be there to help you in the Bad Place. Either way, you get a version of me.

[Eleanor smoothly recovers the tray of s'mores and begins chowing down immediately. Around a gooey mouthful, she manages:]

Nah, dude. Be rude! This place is like, rude as hell. And whoever didn't want these bad boys is a class A moron and is missing out.

[She finally swallows and moves onto her...numberth s'more.]

But, y'know, you don't have to be a waitress here, right? This ain't the Good Place or the Bad Place. It's not your job to make treats for bozos who don't appreciate their sticky amazingness.
