TEST DRIVE MEME

TEST DRIVE MEME: SEPTEMBER

Welcome to the Ryslig Test Drive Meme! Below are a few prompts to get you started, but you may make up any prompt you desire! Please take a look at the navigation page for rules, setting information, and links to reserves and apps. Have fun!

SCENARIO ONE
You wake up on the beach thoroughly drenched with your mouth full of sand. The salt water causes various cuts and scrapes on your skin to sting and the sand isn't helping. The air is slightly humid, ruining any feeling of refreshment you might have gotten from your dip in the ocean. There are lights in the distance but the unfriendly scent of gunpowder fills the air. If you're lucky, you're alone. If not, you might find yourself staring up into a pair of monstrous eyes or down the barrel of a local's shotgun.

SCENARIO TWO
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 THREE
"Seek us out," the voice whispers in your head, and before you have time to question it you've found yourself in someplace entirely alien. Maybe it's the Fog God's ghostly town of Dyster, where exultant followers dance around bonfires and sing their praises to the skies above. Maybe it's the Fourth God's arcade, with small robots wheeling about amidst the lights and colors of old pinball machines. Only one thing is certain: you are not alone, in this sacred place.

SCENARIO FOUR
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.

To keep "monsters" out, mainly. [He rolls his eyes, even though the motion goes unseen except for the slight movement of his head.] They're afraid of becoming someone's next meal.

Bavan is more receptive to new arrivals and "monsters". There's plenty to do as well, if you like big, bustling cities.

Sounds like this Bavan is a more foolish place. [Not... that she's complaining. It might be easier there. Less guards. Less rifles. Maybe Kureha would be there...

She looks around the area.]
I'd rather not stay near walls, growl.

[Too familiar. Too dangerous for now.]
dominateartimus: (How silly)

[personal profile] dominateartimus 2016-09-10 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
[That definitely gets a laugh out of him.] Really? So you prefer being hated and hunted instead of being welcomed and adored?

[The shade notes her comment about staying away from walls before turning and pointing towards the general direction of a bus terminal.]

If you plan on leaving this city, there's a bus that can take you somewhere else.

I prefer to be ignored by the crowds, growl. [Bavan sounds like an easy place, though. Probably full of cute girls just ready to be found. She gives a casual shrug. There's a small smile on her lips now.] We're their hunters now, right? They have every right to hate us but I think it'd be smarter to hide in a place that could let me live in peace.

[She notes the bus, though.]
dominateartimus: (Talking plans)

[personal profile] dominateartimus 2016-09-10 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
You will, but it won't last. So, enjoy it while you can. [He gives a slight shrug and lowers his hand back to his side.] Not everyone agrees with that, but you're free to do as you please.

[The shade starts to walk away.] Maybe someone will be generous to share their home with you or you can seek out a being whose name is written in a scroll.
