Test Drive [1/20/2021]
A. Detective Gumzoom
[A scruffy-looking man in a shabby trenchcoat has ended up wandering the Burnished Crater. He has no idea how he got here, or where here even is, but he manages to keep himself moving. And he keeps on moving, even as he's slowed down by coughing fits and nausea. But eventually, he's sped up instead.
Gumshoe eventually notices someone else - but it's strange. It's like they're completely still or moving in slow motion. Both excited at seeing another person around and concerned for whatever's going on with them, he races over to the side to help out! As he comes to a stop near the person, he addresses them.]
Hey there. You okay, pal?
[Of course, to the other person's perspecitve, it's more like some guy in a green trenchcoat has just approached them at an alarming speed. Or maybe they don't even notice him until he's right there, a special Gumshoe-shaped jump scare.
In any case, he'll only be standing there for a moment before his legs give out and he keels forward, most likely towards or onto the person he's approached!]
B. Gumbonded
[Eventually, they've been brought to Sumarlok and learned the basics. Gumshoe tries to rap his hand around all of these new terms and these new ways of life - while still getting used to the fact that he now he has a violet gemstone where his belly button used to be.
It's okay, it's just like being in a new city! ...One that seems to be advanced beyond his imagination and where everything runs on touch. He'll get used to it! He just gets his device and spends some time walking around as if walking a beat, in hopes of getting a lay of the land. If he sees a fellow Gembonded, he'll try to greet them with a slight smile.]
All this gem stuff sure is a lot to get used to, eh pal? [Not to mention that he probably should look into getting some kind of Synchrony going soon!]
C. Case Clothesed
[In his journeys, Gumshoe ends up getting pulled into the Razzle Dazzle. At the suggestions of the staff, he ends up trying on some new clothes. However, he insists on wearing his old green trenchcoat over it.]
There's no way I'm dropping this from my wardrobe. It's part of my style, pal!
[And then, whether it's someone he knows or not, he'll turn to get another person's attention.]
Hey, um, how does this look?
D. Wildcard
[Feel free to come up with an alternate prompt or hit me up for plotting!]
More Beatrix Up My Sleeve
Great! I haven't even officially started yet, and now with you I already have a cleint! [A beat.] ...Er, 'potential client', I mean. Here's hoping nothing happens that you actually need my help and all!
[Gumshoe chuckles. But really, it's easy to get him to do any sorts of errands for anyone he doesn't dislike. And she seems like a nice person so far too, so that just makes him want to help her more.
He then nods along more seriously as they talk about death.]
R-right. That's what I like to think, pal. ...But hey, I think that's enough talk about murder for now! I don't wanna make the atmosphere all gloomy. [He chuckles as he shakes his head.] Come to think of it, I don't think we've done introductions. My name's Dick Gumshoe, pal!
I'M CRYING AT ALL THESE PUNS ON HER NAME
Right! We should totally talk about more positive things. I'm Beatrix, I also go Bea as well. It's great to meet you umm, Gumshoe?
[ He certainly has an interesting name. ]
Or do you prefer being called pal, ... [ pause ] pal?
Can you Bealieve it?
Bea, huh? It's good to meet you too! Heh... Calling people 'pal' is just part of who I am. [It's his endearing character trait!] But I don't see anything wrong with you saying it too if we're pals, pal! You can call me whatever you want... Just don't call me late for dinner!
