Sample scenarios:
SCENARIO ONE: So you've just arrived, and already SOME the natives are trying to get on your good side. Offers of food, shelter and other luxuries in return for hoping you don't eat them. They even have some helpful pamphlets to share with you. "How To Deal With Changes", "Alternatives to Human Flesh", "What to Expect When You're Expecting (to turn into a monster)" are all great pamphlets. There's even some detailing certain monsters, and the changes they go through. Some of these seem to have been passed down from one monster to the next.
Among these however, are some... not so helpful ones. "Bunnyipyips And You", "Axe Thief Axehounds," and "So you're becoming a Fur Bearing Trout" among others. Sometimes they have marks on them from previous people who had them saying they are lies, or pointing out good "jokes."
Then there's the people who aren't happy to see you at all. Glares and silent, judging stares if you're lucky. Torches and pitchforks attempting to drive you out of the town if you're not. You may need a friend to help you.
SCENARIO TWO: You've become hopelessly lost in Lager Woods. Paths don't seem to lead where you remember them leading, and you feel as if you're going around in circles. Childlike giggling can be heard from no direction in particular. Suddenly, you stumble upon another character, who seems to be just as lost as you! Perhaps you can find a way out together. Or maybe they want you for lunch...
SCENARIO THREE: The time has come and you've found yourself becoming a monster. Is the change instant, or gradual? Are you familiar enough with monsters to know what's happening, or is it a complete shock? NOTE: Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.
SCENARIO FOUR: The claws, the fangs, the pangs of hunger - horrible as they all are, it's manageable given enough time and perseverance. Local monster hunters, though, not so much.
Maybe it started with a few wayward glances on the outskirts of town, critical stares and disapproving whispers, or just the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever it was, deserved or entirely unprovoked, you're being hunted: a handful of aggressive, well-armed humans doggedly chase your trail throughout city streets and out into the open, and if you're not careful (if you don't find help soon) you might wind up as the next trophy kill claim on one of those hunter's walls.
Misa Amane | Death Note
[ Huh. Bit of a tough crowd here. Misa's certainly not used to waking up stranded anywhere, and she still can't help but feel like this is still all just a really weird fever dream or something to that effect; first of all, these pamphlets simply have to be some kind of prank. While, yes, bunnyipyips certainly sound adorable (and fur-bearing trout sound absolutely disgusting, the general gist she seems to be getting from all of this is that she's going to be changing into one of these weird, um...creatures(?) that she's been seeing around..? Which just won't do, no no no, she has a reputation to consider, a modelling career, she can't be in a magazine if she's some kind of...something! ]
U-um, excuse me, but, um, this is some kind of a spooky Halloween prank, right?! Is Misa-Misa on candid camera or something? I mean, it wasn't even close to Halloween before, but, Misa-Misa will forgive that, for sure!
[ More importantly, where was Rem..? It's not like her to not follow her around...and more importantly than that, while she can't tell if it's just because of the people here not exactly being human or what, but no matter how hard she squints, she can't make out anyone's names...normally, it'd just come naturally, but, if she made the Eye Deal again just to lose them for some reason, this is gonna be a huge problem...she needs to get back to Tokyo and fast, this was not good at all--
Hopefully Light doesn't get too mad at her for this when she gets back, she had no idea she'd end up in spooky nightmare monster land...and to think there was something so important that she had to do, too..! Ugh, this was the worst! ]
Scenario 1-B
[ And then, of course, there was the crowd crowd...naturally, Misa was used to dealing with big groups of people, it's practically in the job description! Comes with the territory of being a model! She's even used to dealing with the occasional rowdy bunch every now and again...but when it comes to pitchforks and riots, that is completely outside of her area of expertise and is a matter best left for security, thank you very much! ]
Listen, if you all want autographs, there's no need to be so noisy about it! Misa-Misa will gladly sign some stuff, even those really pointy forks! I promise! But do you think we can all maybe get in a single-file line before that? Pretty-please? Seeing everyone all mobby and everything makes me a little nervous...
[ She...seems to genuinely believe that these are just a group of particularly aggressive fans. Who knew model fandoms stretched all the way to farming monster-village communities? Certainly not Misa.
Might want to help her get out of there. ]
Scenario 2
Reeeeem? Where areeee yoooou? C'mon, Misa-Misa's getting lonely...
[ Somehow, her search for her shinigami friend has put her into this strange forest; it's not too dissimilar from the one where Light buried his notebook, really, but it's a bit...spookier. The paths are a bit more twisty and a lot more turny, and the sounds certainly aren't pleasant, to say the least...when it comes to finding her way back, well, that might be a bit of a problem later, but for now, she's looking up at the trees.. ]
Are there any nice, juicy apples up there? If there are, I bet that's where you're hiding...
[ It doesn't look like they're bearing any sort of fruit, of course, but, she'd like to hold on to a little bit of hope. Of course, walking alone in the woods when you're a helpless young model certainly doesn't make things very easy for her, but, maybe she'll bump into someone friendly?
Unlikely, of course, but, again, hope is a powerful thing! ]
1-b
so, now he's kind of stuck in the middle of this muddled crowd, half of the people are trying to yell at misa and the other half is trying to run larry david out of town after people are starting to believe that he's about to eat them. all it does is steadily increase the size of the crowd in the area, and it's overpopulated.
eventually, with his back near against the wall because of this crowd and this lady saying her piece, larry's frustration reaches its' peak.]
I don't want your autograph, I just want a - a sandwich, or...I don't know, some chips or something!
no subject
[ What a horrible stereotype..! How dare he?! Misa doesn't even care about the crowd at the moment right now, there's a jerk in the back who needs to be put in his place! ]
If you want a sandwich so badly, make one yourself! Misa-Misa isn't your maid, and she doesn't even know how to make potato chips, so there!
[
If you're looking for the potato chip expert, that'd be her boyfriend]You should be totally ashamed! It's the current year, after all!
no subject
No, I wasn't asking you for a sandwich, I don't want your sandwich. I just wanna - I wanna find a deli or...or...I don't know, don't you guys have a convenience store or something?
[sounds a lot like backtracking. there's at least one woman in the crowd crying "you sexist pig!"]
no subject
[ This is certainly a yelling contest they're having over a massive crowd of people, yes, this is fine-- ]
You're probably just trying to cover up being a jerk with a lame excuse!
no subject
I'm being a jerk? Well, let me tell you something, Misa-Misa, maybe we wouldn't need to be concerned about the monsters if anybody around here knew how to make a proper sandwich! I'm not asking for a filet mignon, I just want - bread and maybe a little cheese! Some mustard!
no subject
Who eats a sandwich that's just cheese and mustard?! That's disgusting! Ugh, you're gonna make me totally gag! If you're gonna ask for a sandwich, at least ask for eggs and mayonnaise! Mustard is gross!
You're definitely complaining to the wrong person, though! I'm not a food critic, I'm just a model! Which, if anything, might be the opposite of a food critic!
no subject
[she's terrible who eats eggs and mayo together?? who even likes that is that the fucking ryslig national sandwich?]
Oh, really, you're a model?! Well, hey, I never would've guessed! [i mean he's never heard of you after all]
no subject
[ It sounds disgusting just thinking about it. This man clearly knows nothing about proper deli meat combinations. ]
Eggs and mayonnaise are really good, though! Mayonnaise is made from eggs, it's natural for them to go together!
What do you mean you never would have guessed, though?! Misa-Misa is really famous in Japan, she's been in magazines and everything...

1-A (Sorry for the book)
In other ways, he's very different. Four large blue and black wings stretch out from behind him, his shirt tailored with holes to allow them to fit. His other changes can currently be hidden with gloves and boots, but wings were too large for any trick of the wardrobe.
Despite his short time here, he knows Bavan will be where they show up, the next set of new arrivals. To stay up to date, to stay current, he has to know who those people are. Part of him would like it to be someone from his own world, someone from a future that will let him know how things happen, but he also knows that's statistically unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely.
Before he even sees the familiar blonde hair, he hears the familiar name: Misa-Misa. It's a name said in her own voice, a third-person habit she had picked up somewhere. Maybe psychology would say it was a way to disengage herself from the bad things that had happened, maybe she had had it even before then. Light doesn't know, he's never bothered to question it.
He has no choice. L is here, Misa can't be roaming around like a lost puppy. For a moment, he hesitates. No one else from home had seen him in this disgusting form, no one human aside from the locals were able to gawk. For the first time, he finds himself hesitant about approaching Misa. Light hates himself like this. Somehow, if he approaches her, it feels like they would all know what he is now.
No, he'll find a cure and return home.
When he approaches, it's from behind.]
Misa, don't turn around yet. [Will she listen? Light has various success on getting her to.] How long have you been here?
ABSOLUTELY NO ISSUE
But just as she's about to turn on her heel, she's told to stay put, and far be it for her to do something to get him upset with her, especially considering how hard she botched his last request for her. Even so, her heart is pounding out of her chest just at the idea. Light is here, thank God, she doesn't know how or why but somehow he made it here with her and everything was going to be just fine, better than fine--
So as much as she wants to squeeze him so hard he'll burst at the seams, she refrains from doing so. There's probably some kind of reason he doesn't want her to look behind her, and she trusts him completely... ]
Thank God, it's you...
[ Is she really about to tear up? Probably! She had been so worried, after all..! ]
It's only been about half a day or so, but, it felt like forever...I'm so glad you found me!
I GET EXCITED
In a way, she had done something particularly intelligent in getting what she wants. Now, it's no longer safe to let her wander around with all of her secrets. Misa's managed to put herself exactly where she planned, even with Light plotting otherwise. It's not something lost on him.
No, maybe this is a good thing. Despite what Light thinks of her intelligence, he recognizes her ability to charm. Who better to convince everyone that Light is the good, upstanding citizen he is than an actress of her caliber? There are things to address first, such as the fact he's no longer fully human. She wouldn't be either, not in another month.]
A day and a half would have given you enough time to see the monsters. They're entirely real. [His hands come to rest on her thin shoulders, hands triggered by worry his words will make her curious enough to turn.] It's not a slow introduction but for now, that's the world we're in.
[What does she remember? Could she help more than he thought?] It's already started happening for me, it will happen for you too.
I'M SO GLAD, REALLY
Y-yeah, I've seen a couple of them already. It's a little scary...and it's really not a joke? We're gonna turn into monsters, too? But...
[ It just doesn't make any sense. How did they even get here to begin with? And why was this happening? So many questions... ]
So...do you know how to get back? Have you been stuck here longer than I have? It can't be that much longer, I just saw you and Ryuzaki the other day...unless Misa-Misa was knocked out for longer than she thought before ending up here? Aaah, this is so confusing, it's making my head hurt...
Me too! <3
Says the man with dragonfly wings spanning from his back.]
It's nothing so simple. I've been here a month, and I've already started my own changes. [Light doesn't look nearly as hideous as some, but that's no real consolation. 'It could be worse' really isn't a good argument.]
The time conflict isn't easy to explain and for now, it's just important to accept it's a possibility. [Which is horribly annoying to say. Magic doesn't follow rules, and that's still hard to accept.] There are things that you will see here that seem like they belong in one of your movies.
[Slowly, he releases her shoulders.] You can turn now, but prepare yourself.
no subject
A whole month...weren't you lonely? To be away from Misa-Misa and everyone for that long in a place like this, I'm so sorry...
[ It's such a shame...she nuzzles the back of her head into his chest, just to offer a little bit of support. ]
Well, we've seen enough things even back home that are so out of the ordinary that I can sorta believe it.
[ Notebooks that can kill people, gods of death that love apples...still, she nods and turns around. She doesn't know what she was expecting, but, the wings, and the carapace, and... ]
Light, you look so...cool!
[ As if she'd have any other reaction. It's Light, after all. He could be brutally disfigured in some kind of accident tomorrow and Misa would still think he looks amazing.
...Not that that's an invitation, but... ]
Those wings, they're such a pretty color! Can you fly with them yet?! Misa-Misa is so jealous, you look awesome!
no subject
Light has been a lot of things in the last month. Despite what many might assume, there are parts of home he longs for. Safety, a reputation, money, power: all of them are things he's had to slowly build up here. However, he does miss his family. And being Kira.]
That's really not a word I would use for them. [Some might consider them more than human, but Light now feels less. He's adjusting as much as has to to thrive, but he plans on getting his human form back.] But yeah, they're functional. Being a monster does come with some enhanced abilities...
[If Misa is in the open, L can find her.]
But we don't have to talk here. I have an apartment in the city. It's not safe for you to be in the streets.
no subject
Enhanced abilities...if Misa-Misa gets something that neat-looking, she'll be lucky. The last thing I need is to turn into some sort of hobgoblin or a troll or something ugly...my cute charm is vital, after all!
[ The operation with Higuchi definitely wouldn't have gone so well if she wasn't so cute, in any case. ]
Going somewhere more private would be better, though, yes! Especially if, well, you wanna talk about what I think you wanna talk about. Let's get going, then! You should lead the way!
[ Time to discuss business, she supposes. Always business with him at one point or another... ]

Is it a pet?
[He's guessing a bird, or maybe a monkey.]
no subject
[ A bright yellow and red snake with a face, but, a snake nonetheless! How scary! ...A-and it talks! ]
P-please don't eat Misa-Misa, she's just skin and bones, really! No meat whatsoever!
no subject
I won't, I won't! I'm not out here to hunt. I'd much rather eat something sweet, anyway!
[See, he's an innocent kid. Even if red and yellow snakes are super poisonous.]
no subject
[ That seems to pacify her enough for now! ]
My friend really loves them, so I figured I'd look for her in a place where they might be growing from the trees...but I haven't had any luck so far.
no subject
What kind of friend is she?
no subject
[ Please don't think she's crazy. ]
That's why I'm the one who has to look for her!
no subject
It's not that crazy, I guess. But, you know, the rules of this world tend to make people like that become just like everyone else... in fact, they're probably human now. If they're here at all.

1-A
For the first time, he glimpses a familiar face and feels no amount of relief. Mello provided it. Even Light did, in that twisted, high-strung way that drove their interactions from the very start of the Kira investigation. He hopes he's mistaken, even as he realizes the minute chances of such an error. Misa's face, after all, is seared into his memory just as much as her often-shrill voice.
There's nothing for it. He has to approach her; whether or not Light has yet, it's important that he makes the first move and sets the tone for their future interactions himself. Though it's daylight, which vampires deal poorly with as a general rule, he's wearing protective clothing and carrying an umbrella that shields him effectively from the sun's harsh rays, and he approaches Misa steadily but with the caution of someone who half-expects a sudden and adverse reaction.]
I'm afraid it isn't a prank, Misa Amane. You must be confused, but that's actually very normal.
[He looks very much like he used to, if paler and gaunter, but he sports a couple of new features. Chiefly pointed fangs, velvety bat ears sloping away from his face, and wings that attach to his arms and appear cumbersome.]
