First Test Drive!
Welcome:
The room you appear in, ripped from wherever you had been a moment ago, is cold and uninteresting. White walls, tile floors, and nothing to look at save for the woman in generic business dress holding a clipboard. She seems to be checking off people as they arrive, but doesn't seem interested in interacting aside from handing you a key to what is apparently now your room.
Luckily for you, you aren't the only baffled new arrival, and once you're all shuffled out of the room and into the adjoining courtyard, there's both more pleasant scenery, plenty of time to talk, and a table set next to the door that's covered with markers, stacks of "Hi my name is" stickers, and a cheerful set of instructions and suggested topics if you all decide you want to play charades.
Whatever you might think of the odd welcome, you get a distinct sense that it would be in your interest to get to know some of these people.
Entertainment options:
In the hobby room, you'll find a few TVs set up with video game systems attached that double as DVD players. Unfortunately, the selection is lacking. There's a pile of disks, but all you'll find is the same movie and the same video game over and over. Namely, a romantic comedy and something that might be a knockoff of Mario Party, both of which could be described as astoundingly mediocre. Still, they're better than nothing. Oh, and if you want a less technical option, there's always the modeling clay.
It seems whoever runs this facility hasn't put much of their budget toward entertainment. Fortunately for you, there's also a complaint box in the kitchen.
A Bonding Exercise:
The powers that be want everyone to try to get along here, so one morning, you might wake up to find a piece of paper slipped under their door.
An Ice Breaker Game
-someone with a scar
-someone with a weapon
-someone whose pants are too tight
-someone who eats something other than food
-someone whose smile can't be trusted
-someone who has betrayed another
-someone who has killed a person
-someone who will never lie
Talk to different people who meet all of these descriptions.
Anyone who succeeds will earn a chocolate bar.
They aren't lying. Anyone who succeeds in this will discover a quality chocolate bar has been delivered to their room the following morning, whether or not they were trying to complete the list. Considering the powers that be didn't ask you to turn in answers, it does beg the question of how they know you succeeded, and whether any of your guesses about who qualifies as which were accurate. You'll just have to wonder.

Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for Red Thread. Feel free to try out whatever characters you like in the confines of our modest facility. Any threads played out on this meme are optional game canon; that means anything you play in this thread can be kept in your character's memory or not as you choose. Have fun, and please refer to the FAQ for more information about how this setting works.
Royal | OC | Will match
Royal is surprised, yes, put off, yes, cautious, yes--but uprooting and displacement isn't exactly new to him. He gets his bearings fairly quickly, observing in turn both surroundings and people (it helps that they're just as aimless as he feels). He idles to the table with the modeling clay, picking a small bit off one of the lumps and absently rolling it between his fingers. He's not one to talk to others--even though the paper in his pocket is recommending that he does--but their presence somewhat puts him at ease. Even with some of the suggestions the list is making.
He suddenly realizes he's hungry and turns to slowly make his way to the kitchen to see if he can rummage in the cabinets and find something to eat.
2. A Bonding Exercise
He knows he fits into the seventh category on the list, and the sabre hanging off his hip makes him good for another. Anyone looking when he reaches up will see part of a large, diagonal scar across his belly as his shirt lifts. His pants, on the other hand, are quite loose.
Re: Royal | OC | Will match
"Not the pants, then."
Re: Royal | OC | Will match
Roy's reply is muffled slightly by the mouthful of crackers as he turns sharply, the box held in his hands. His reflexes tend towards caution and defense, and yes, there's a hard glint of appraisal in his eyes for a brief moment. Then it's replaced by a questioning look.
Entertainment / Dining
"Oh thank god."
Alphys sighs from behind a cabinet door. She pulls out a cup of cup noodles, and clutches it to her chest for a moment.
"At least the f-food's normal."
