TEST DRIVE
> Hello, you have reached the 1-800-HOTLINE Test Drive. We are currently unable to take your call. Whilst we put you on hold, feel free to play around for a while...
Waking up
Go downstairs, to the lobby. Meet the others. Don't get attached, and don't mention this call.
The AC is busted and in this hot summer, you probably won't want to stay in your room forever.
Of course, there's much more around here than just the motel. Stepping out and hitting the town will give you plenty to do. There's stores aplenty, but that's nothing to say of the good residents of the stores; your friendly neighborhood bodega cats. They're content to laze around the aisles, though the more playful sorts may swat at your wayward accessories as you pass by.
Don't mind that they seem to disappear - and reappear - with a blink. That's just something cats can do.
Of course you are! There's plenty of places to eat here, but why go to some no-name joint when you can go to McDonalds? They've got burgers, they've got fries, they've got McPizza, and they even have a playplace! ...Though you're probably too old for the ball pit.
Regardless of what you order, if you even order, the cashier presses a small toy into the palm of your hand. Don't you feel a pair of tiny eyes on you?
For fuck's sake, someone only went and killed a guy in the McDonald's parking lot. Maybe his head is smashed in under that chicken mask, or maybe you'll want to check? You could do the right thing and work out who did this, or you could make off with his baseball bat. The choice is yours.
What good's a city that goes to sleep? When the sun goes down, the lights go up. The city becomes aglow with every colour of the neon rainbow, with bowling alleys, nightclubs, karaoke bars, arcades and soon-to-be-extinct roller discos competing for your attention until the sun comes up. You're here, there's no curfew, it's time to make the most of it.
Have something else in mind? Go wild, and party like it's 1989.

As long as you don't start grabbing at it when I'm done. Alright, what've you got there?
no subject
Mostly things I've found around. Parts of clocks, TVs, [He picks up one sharp piece of metal.] I might have gotten this from the microwave.
Don't tell anyone I took that apart.
[Ray looks thoughtful.]
Well I'm going to need something to sharpen this if we wanna be really sure. I'd ask if the kitchen has a knife sharpener but that would defeat the point of building my own knife.
no subject
Why would there be anything straightforwardly helpful here?
[ One little quip and it's off to business. ]
Found any mugs? Something ceramic? Seems like the kind of junk there'd be around here. If we have one of those, I could sharpen this pretty well.
no subject
I didn't pick one recently, but I did use one when getting coffee this morning! I'll be right back.
[Ray just hecking... gets up and dashes to the kitchen like he's running a race, and less than half a minute later he's back with a mug.]
This should do great! Breaking it apart and sharpening the metal on the broke edge should work best, I think.
no subject
[ She wants to start mapping out the bow she's making, but he's back before she can even start her planning. That crooked smile remains. ]
Exactly what I was thinking. No one'll miss it. Probably.
no subject
So how's you're day going?
[He says as if this was a normal human situation.]
no subject
Oh, you know. Woke up on an uncomfortable bed, boiling hot. Found a muffin for breakfast, mostly intact. Crafting a weapon that could very well save my life before noon.
It's the usual.
