It's Curtains Act 3 Test Drive




1) CURTAINS UP
You’ve just woken up in some kind of dorm room, which is certainly not where you went to bed last night. Actually, do you even remember going to sleep…? Regardless, this isn't where you last were, and worse still - there's other people waking up in the same room with you, in the same state.

Talk to your roommates! Go out and meet everyone from the other rooms! Most of these people may be strangers, but you’re gonna all have to get used to one another. And who knows? There may actually be a familiar face in the crowd.

2) THIS PETTY PACE
By now, you're acquainted with everybody here and you're slowly growing bored. Bored enough to kill? Hopefully not. You'd better try to find something else to do. You can always go hang out with your castmates, or maybe try and whip something up in the kitchen! There’s even a band room to keep you busy! I sure hope you like music.

3) BREAK A LEG
Comedies are fun and all, but that’s not quite what we’re about here. You’ve all just been handed this week’s motive. What do you make of it? Is it one that might actually tempt you to kill, or did you get off lightly this time? Either way, maybe you’d better look around the room and see who else is having a rough time.

4) I LOVE PLAY REHEARSAL
It's Club Day! What's Club Day, you ask? Come to the classroom on the poster to find out! It looks like this week's club is Bread Club. Be wary, when you enter the classroom you'll face a shower of various bread slices but be rewarded with a surprisingly fancy layout of spreads and jams to go with them. Don't mind the oddly threatening poster on the far wall. He's just here to supervise.

5) CURTAIN
It was bound to happen eventually. Someone is dead, and now it's time to go off and investigate. Were they close to you? Are you, perhaps, feeling guilty? Either way, it's probably best not to leave anyone alone right now.

6) CUE MUSIC
Feelings in a murder-school can get pretty gosh darn intense. Sometimes you’ve just got to let it out. And hey, if you sing a song about whatever’s going on in your head, maybe someone will hear and come help you? Either way, this is a musical – there’s not really any reason not to sing.

[Mod Note: The song mechanic is meant to be fluid and simple. You do not have to produce your own song lyrics, nor are you required to use show tunes (although we do encourage it!). If you want to rewrite existing lyrics to fit the situation, go for it! Anything goes - if Mumford and Sons expresses your character’s current emotions, then break out the banjos. We want to keep the musical mechanic as fun and simple as we can to encourage our players to use it as much as they like.]

6) WILDCARD
Make up your own prompt!

[ Janis raises an eyebrow. ]

Uh... yeah? I even wear shorts sometimes, when I'm feeling really adventurous

Well, I put them on one leg at a time, and then I go outside and if someone gets mad at me about it I tell them where they can put that opinion!

[ Janis shrugs. ]

Usually works alright.

[Wow. That's.]

What country do you come from...!?

[personal profile] fourbutts 2021-05-21 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
America. Land of the free, home of the pants. I'm going to go ahead and assume that's very much not where you come from.

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-05-21 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not! I'm from--well, now I'm of Austria.

Do the Americans so casually allow women to wear pants?

[ she frowns. ]

Ooookay, pretty sure Europe is supposed to be more chill about this kind of thing unless you're, like, old and weird.

[ she puts up a finger. ]

Super normal question I was totally expecting to ask someone today: What year is it?

[personal profile] wanderlusttitania 2021-05-26 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
1854.

[Because of course it is, isn't it?]
