WELCOME TO ROSENBLUM HALL
(‘S TEST DRIVE MEME)

Welcome to the Test Drive Meme for Rosenblum Hall, the first of (hopefully) many rounds of Murdergames… With A Twist! More information on the game can be found here, and more info on the setting can be found here! This is a space for trying out characters and seeing ways you can incorporate them into the setting and into CR with other players! Please do note, as a reminder, that you must be part of Lyndon (

lovebelievesin)'s plurk friends list to join.

When leaving a toplevel, please try not to leave it at just starters! Instead, give people interested in responding whatever details you’re figured out or want to try out for your character that other students might know or want to engage with! Remember, ooc communication is the key to making this go smoothly, so make sure that you are in communication with other players as needed! But feel free to also use this as an avenue to try things out before you finalize your AU for the game itself!

Now, let’s talk prompts. While the map of Rosenblum Hall itself won’t exist for a little while yet, you can anticipate things like a greenhouse or a library - the rooms are going to start out simple. If it might be in a fancy old mansion house, it might just be in Rosenblum Hall!

1 - Nothing is so painful to the human mind as a great and sudden change.

Welcome to your winter break! Sorry for the last-minute notice, but due to emergency weather damage to the usual hall for the break, you’ve all had to pack quick bags of personal items and head to Rosenblum Hall for the next couple weeks while this sudden storm of the century comes in! At least it’s supposed to quiet down in a day or two?

You have some time to get settled into your room now, at least, even if the halls are way creepier here than in the main dorms, all wood panels and antique carpets and whatever. The rooms themselves are actually pretty nice, with big canopy beds and old timey writing desks and… a portrait of the school’s founders watching over you while you sleep. Hm. That’s a problem for nighttime.

If you’re looking for warmth during the storm, though, that’s going to be the halls and the common area with its fireplace. So instead of hanging in your room, maybe go see who else was unlucky enough to get caught in this freak storm situation. After all, the new guidance counselor who’s supposed to watch over you guys is still apparently getting the move reported and settled, so until she arrives and you actually meet her, you’re all unsupervised!

2 - It must have been my weakness that made me hesitate.

So you’ve gotten settled, and then almost certainly immediately unsettled by the whole uh. Murder thing. And the fact that the same day is looping, which means the storm outside is unlikely to let up. But no one’s actually taking this murder thing seriously, so it’s probably fine? Yeah. Probably fine.

Anyway, now is the time for getting up to teenage shenanigans, or at least trying as best you can given the situation and the location. Good luck! And remember, going outside may not be forbidden, but for your own safety it’s best to stay inside, the storm gets wilder and stronger the further you stray from the Hall.

3 - I doubt. I fear. I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul.

Hm. So the mysterious voice from the loudspeaker’s given you a motive. That’s not ideal in terms of interpersonal tension! How’s it going? How’re you holding up? Is it time to get into a fight about it?

4 - Wasn’t it just a story-book over which I had fallen a-doze and a-dream?

Uh-oh! Someone’s dead! That’s not ideal! Are you investigating it? Are you the one who did it? Is this your first time seeing- I mean it’s probably your first time seeing a dead body, but are you just gonna stand there are you gonna step in and handle it?

5 - If your dear heart is wounded, my wild heart bleeds with yours.

And, a trial later… for now, even though you’re a couple students lighter, the group is safe. Time to rest, recuperate, and maybe try to put some kind of gathering together? The only way forward is together, after all - unless, maybe, you’re already making plans for the future.

6 - Last night I dreamt I went to Rosenblum Hall again…

Or make your own fun! The game concept is your oyster.
