TEST DRIVE. | ||
LOG #1: PLACEBO.  Congratulations! You've passed your interview. After successfully walking through the rather fancy and posh Welcome Door from the Doorman's Hallway, you've now found yourself in a section of PLACEBO. When you step out into PLACEBO, the first thing you'll notice is that you're feeling very warm. Don't look up, though; the sun's a little too bright at the moment and needs an adjustment from the Architect, so it's highly recommended you grab an umbrella, hat, or a pair of sunglasses. The second thing you'll notice is that it's bustling with activity. The town centre has people dressed in various clothing and styles walking around who greet you with a quick wave and a friendly "Hi." These are the people of PLACEBO. Most of them are nice. Right now, they have no opinion of you. If you ask these people any questions, they'll be as helpful as they can be, but they don't have all the answers. Some of them will do their best to assist you while others… won't. Nevermind the cold shoulder. Did you see the hot dog stand offering free hotdogs? Grab some food (it's delicious), go explore, perhaps get a nice pair of shoes? If you put your hand in your pocket (don't have pockets? you do now!), you'll find a little business card in it that has your new address on it. This business card is made of thick plastic and is unbreakable and does not burn. If you lose it, a cat will bring it back to you. This is your temporary key card. This might also be a good time to test out your new power. Just be careful of the cats—there's plenty of them running around town, sitting in trees, on tables, and sleeping in chairs. You don't want to make a wrong first impression. LOG #2: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE. cw mentions: drug use, dangerous animals.  Welcome to Jumanji, better known as Earth-95. After Michael briefs everyone in on this mission, you walk through a door covered in vines with leaves poking through the thin gaps between door and hinge. You step foot into a beautiful jungle. Everyone starts in the same area—a thick canopy of trees, bushes and still vines—before wandering off in all directions. It's humid. The leaves around you are damp from a recent rain. The grass beneath your feet is ankle-high and thick and vines from trees slither out like long, unwieldy snakes at the pace of a sloth moving across the road. Remember how Michael said something about appropriate footwear? He was right about one thing: Van Pelt isn't here. It seems like the intrepid explorers of S.P.E.I.R. have been dropped off on Earth-95 before Van Pelt's time. Curious. You'll still need the weapons you brought in your backpacks—and if you didn't bring a backpack, you'll carry them in your hands or pockets. The jungle isn't safe for anyone. Watch out for the alligators in the water, the monkeys in the trees, and did we mention the snakes slithering through the grass? Try not to be bitten by any insects. Their bites have very intense hallucinogenic properties that can last from an hour to half a day if you're not careful. The jungle is also the home to many flourishing ripe fruits. Remember when Michael said not to come on an empty stomach? He really meant that. Eating the fruits of the jungle will lead to a few (and perhaps unwanted) side effects…
But don't let that distract you from the mission at hand. The fate of Jumanji (or Earth-95) is at stake here. Find the ruby red jewel and return it to the earth. Sounds simple, right? If you want your character to find the ruby red jewel, note that there are many of them out there. They look like a glass pomegranate and are the size of the Rock's palm and are found all throughout the jungle—in trees, ants nests, wasp nests, buried half in the dirt, in the mouths of giant hippos… All you have to do is bury it in some dirt. Super simple when you think about it… NETWORK #1: A/S/L. Did you check your other pocket? Or perhaps your bag? You'll find a very slim looking iPhone that instantly activates once you look at it. This phone will connect to you the wider S.P.E.I.R. network. It's fully encrypted, only requires a little charge every now and then, and has a few cat photos already in the album. You can't delete those. Why would you? The phone has a changeable username and a little profile picture of you. It's your best picture. No, you can't change this photo. How about you say hi on the network? Reach out to your fellow S.P.E.I.R. comrades? Pose an interesting, thought-provoking ice-breaker? Maybe you just want to show a picture of a cat (who doesn't—they're so cute!). @michael Did you know your universe is considered to be 104% perfect if Beyonce exists on it? Discuss. OOC. 'Sup. Welcome to SPEIR where cats rule and that's okay. This is serving as an interest check. SPEIR, as you guys know, is intended to be a chill gpsl. It's not meant to be hardcore like a game, but it is intended to be active—like when your cat awakens and chooses to play with you for 30 minutes and then promptly goes back to sleep. Hopefully the tdm has given you an idea of what the tone is going to be like for SPEIR whenever it opens. Please make sure you mark for any NSFW content. Most importantly, have fun! | ||

katherine pierce | the vampire diaries
[ of course, katherine's already gone out of her way to compel the truth out of a few civilians. they tell her nothing of note, and that only aggravates her. good thing placebo has a few great shoe stores.
she's chewing on a small, thin breadstick as she walks down the street, curiously following two cats as they step out of the way of incoming people-traffic and even dare to duck out onto the empty tram lines. she's so distracted by watching them that she bumps into someone. ]
Sorry! I wasn't watching where I was going.
[ it's a fake apology. katherine feigns embarrassment, feeling her face flush with heat. she doesn't care that she bumped into you. you were in her way. ]
WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE.
[ she didn't wear the shoes for this.
in stilettos and a dress, katherine walks through the jungle with a slight frown on her face.
she's a little hungry. can anyone blame her? she hasn't had any blood since the day before stepping through this door, and while she's certain days have passed here, she knows the sun's been up since the moment she stepped foot in the jungle. with her palm filled with various coloured berries, she's popping them into her mouth in the hopes they'll curb her cravings.
trudging along through thick grass, katherine struggles a little with the points of her stilettos. it's particularly damp and her shoe's getting stuck. it's slowing her down significantly, slow enough for a vine to start slithering its way over toward her to start wrapping its thin self around the stiletto of her shoe. ]
WILDCARD.
[ Feel free to wildcard me or pick a different aspect of the prompts! Katherine is open for all of it. 👌🏼 ]

dick grayson | titans
[ dick did his best dressing for this occasion. in slacks and a white shirt, he's got a backpack resting heavily against his back and his batarangs in his shoes. the jungle's not a common place for him, but he'll adapt—he always does.
what he shouldn't be doing is eating the wild fruits from the low-hanging branches of the trees or the bushes. but he's a little tired, a little hungry, and maybe he forgot to pack some snacks.
biting into a delicious red apple, dick's chewing when he thinks: ] I didn't wear the proper shoes for this.
[ should've worn those suckers in, dickie. that's what you get for buying new shoes right before earth-hopping.
(he does eat the other fruits, too.) ]

@dick
Did anyone else actually think when Michael said "splinters", he meant actual wooden splinters?

marcos diaz ( the gifted )
( marcos' first thought is that he's not wearing the right clothes for this. his jacket and hoodie are way too much and he's sweating but he doesn't take them off.
it feels like a shield of a sort, a remnant of who he was before so despite the heat, he keeps them on. he doesn't try and talk to anyone that he passes but he does stop to get something to eat.
his stomach rumbles so he knows it's the right thing to do even if he has no idea if this food's going to kill him or not. he's eaten worse.
as he's about to take a bite, he finds a cat watching him and it just...creeps him out. )
What?
( oh good, he's talking to a cat. )

rebekah mikaelson. the originals
( she decides very quickly that she is not going to just go tramping around this jungle when it's clear that it's been put here solely to ruin her shoes.
she's just not going to do it. after stepping in spot where the mud went up to her ankle, rebekah's taken up residence leaning against a large tree and tapping her fingers against her thigh impatiently.
either someone will come along that she'll use to help her out of here or she'll decide that enough's enough and she'll get herself out of here.
right now, she's content to just stand there and wait. and that's what she's doing when she spots the berries a few feet away. sighing, she reaches for a handful and pops one into her mouth. )
I've had better vacations.

Oliver Queen | Arrow
[ Whatever Oliver was expecting, it wasn't a bustling city. Maybe it was just his built-in paranoia and/or skepticism courtesy of five years on what was supposedly a deserted island, but he wasn't prepared for this. Well, he likes to believe he's prepared for most anything, but this looks less like surviving and more like thriving.
So, people will have to forgive him if he's just too busy being skeptical of this place and questioning all of the motives behind it to really relax. Sure, those hot dogs smell good, and sure, those cats all look extremely adorable, but Oliver doesn't care. ]
All right, so where's the catch? Because this looks too good to be true.
Welcome to the Jungle
[ Now this is more up his alley. Or at least, that's what he was thinking before he accidentally pissed off some local wildlife, and anyone in the area might spot Oliver running full tilt with a pack of monkeys leaping through the trees after him.
Anyone want to lend a hand or just laugh at his misfortune? Feel free. He's too busy running away to notice any laughter at his expense. He'd appreciate the hand, though. But at least he's fast and fairly agile, two things he's counting on to get him out of this mess. ]

Does anyone have a needle and strong thread?

Michelle Jones | MCU
Perfect. I always wanted to experience Jumanji firsthand.
[ Doesn't MJ look so happy to be here? She's clearly over the moon about it even as she swats away a pesky mosquito that just won't leave her alone. ]
No, really, seeing the movie just wasn't enough, I wanted to live it too.
[ Cue the flattest expression possible. ]
Why couldn't I have remembered to pack the bug spray? Oh, right, because I had no idea I was going to be here.
[ Joy. ]

You know, it's a good thing I'm not allergic to cats, otherwise this would really suck.

clarke griffin | the 100
a ) [it was a lot to get used to with the concept of going to other versions of earth for missions but unlike most people, clarke feels more in her element here since she is used to having to survive in conditions like this back home.
she is fully prepared wearing the proper attire while carrying backpack containing some weapons, medical supplies and other items she thought she might need just in case. she doesn't know what they could be up against while being here but she tries to remain cautious as she starts ventures further into the jungle. she notices someone else going along the same path she is and she looks towards them giving a slight wave] Hey. Do you want to team up for this? I figure we can probably get through this faster instead of splitting up.
b ) [eventually she does start to feel a bit hungry as she starts to scavenge and gather some of the fruits and berries but not before looking at them a bit skeptically] Are we just supposed to assume that all of this edible or even safe to eat?
2. NETWORK;
@ clarke
okay so i know we have these "splints" or whatever michael was calling them. i'm still trying to get used to mine but just wondering, how many people here have experience with this sort of thing already?
3. WILDCARD;
[feel free to toss go with anything else! also i kept it pretty vague but am open to any of the berry/fruit options just note in the subject which one you want to go with if you are using that prompt or some variation of it!]

Bonnie Bennett | The Vampire Diaries
[This is already the best non-home dimension that Bonnie has been to. There's:
1) Other people
2) No karaoke (at least not yet)
3) No one actively trying to kill her
4) No acid-washed jeans
5) Churros
She's chomping on said Churro as she walks into a stationary store. If's she's going to do this job right, she needs to take a page out of Caroline's book and get organized. She needs post-notes, felt-tipped pens, highlighters, and day planner.
...wait.]
Are day planners even a thing here? [She says, mostly to herself.] How are you supposed to plan out your days when time is basically just an inter-dimensional formality?
[Is she thinking about this too much? She's thinking about this too much.]
2: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
I'm from Virginia.
[She says, lying out in the grass.]
Not Alexandria, DC-suburbs Virginia. We're talking below the Mason Dixon line. We're talking don't bother turning the AC on in August because it won't make a difference.
[She holds her hand up, looking at the red outline of a bug bite. She keeps her hand up, because her fingers look like they're swaying and it's not entirely unpleasant.]
Sorry. I'm rambling. My point is -- I know better than to forget bug spray. But here we are.
