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.

Comments

[Ladylike? Since when has Jasper ever bothered with being ladylike? That's a human concept anyway. She's a brute, it's in her job description. So she'll act like a brute. She glares up at the woman through long wet strands of hair.]

Who are you? Why am I here?

[Technically it's an answer to the woman's question, if not directly. Jasper's the one sprawling on the ground, thus she considers her questions to be the more important ones. Granted, she'd have this attitude no matter what position she was in.]

I'll tear you apart.

[beastlybeauty]

I would be rather amused to watch you try, but that may have to wait until you are in better condition.

[The woman looks entirely unfazed by being threatened by someone significantly bigger than her.]

I would normally insist you consider your manners when speaking to me, but given the circumstances, I supposed I can allow it to slide. [But the circumstances aren't 'you are now in the monster world without warning'. The circumstances are 'you were clearly raised in a barn and have no idea how proper people behave'.] You are here, in short, because a woman more powerful than you or I wanted you to be. A god, they call her. I have never been one for theology, though.

[This woman seems human enough, and if she's not a gem then Jasper has no reason to believe she wouldn't be able to overpower her with strength alone. She has no idea where she is or what she's about to get into. She only knows that now even her life as a gem has been taken from her, and that angers her beyond reason.

But the comment about a powerful woman does have her attention.]

Gods are a human concept. [This is muttered toward the ground as she gets up onto her knees.] She might be a diamond.

[Not that she's ever heard of the diamonds being able to turn one of their own human, but who knew the true scope of their powers?]
