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.

Then we'd smell like piss. If you smelled like piss, I wouldn't be carrying your ass. ..and you smell bad enough anyways. [Of all the things that could go through this man's head. He's practically a genius making all kinds of bombs and weapons, but for fuck's sake.. Junkrat can be such a blockhead-- Roadhog thinks, anyways.]

..............................................If you were quiet, we wouldn't be having this conversation, would we? Tch. [....Okay, that's not a bad idea.] Let's take what we can get first, food, scrap, whatever, and THEN blow them to hell.

[explodey]

....Yeah, alright! [That's a fair point. The smelling like piss part.] Oi, I smell just fine! Like you're one to talk. I've been stuck with you in the Outback long enough to know that you could bloody take out a horse once you start sweatin'... [His laughter is an obnoxious peal that echoes across the beach, but Junkrat doesn't seem to realize how loud he is.]

Sounds like a plan, mate. Guess you are good for somethin' every once in a while!

[pachimari]

.....................................

[Roadhog suddenly grabs the man once more and drops him to the side of him. WON'T SAY ANOTHER WORD TO THE SCRAWNY BASTARD. Unappreciative little shit.. The large junker proceeds to mutter under his breath.]

[explodey]

[There's a strangled shout as his world suddenly pitches, and Junkrat twists--only to land face first in the sand yet again. Mutters a few vehement curses, pushing himself up so he can spit sand out of his mouth for the second time.]

Real funny, ya pig-faced cock. Lemme up. [Probably starts smacking his amputated arm against Hog's leg...]

[pachimari]

[As much as he doesn't want to turn around, he's feeling quite sassy at the moment.] Yeah, sure. Lemme getcha my "helping hand".

[Roadhog then gives Junkrat a strong middle finger.]

[explodey]

[...]

[explodey]

I like it better when you don't bloody talk, ya heifer. [Smacks at his leg a little harder, even if it just makes his own arm sting.] Get me offa the damn ground!

[pachimari]

[What the hell are those? Baby taps? HAHA!!]

Then don't talk smack about your fuckin' bodyguard.

[AGAIN, he hoists the man up from the sand and drapes him over his shoulder.] ....
[The sound of voices, busy murmur seems to be getting closer. Hopefully this is the place Junkrat had just been to.]

[explodey]

[Gdi, he'll shove a grenade up your arse. BABY TAPS INDEED. Before he can say something appropriately scathing in response, he perks up at the sound of voices, looking more than a little wary. Sure enough, it's some of the folks they met before... and they're just starin' at Roadie like he's some sort of monster. Heh! Not an uncommon reaction, really.]

G'day! Someone was goin' on about free food earlier! You make good on that, and maybe me and my large friend here can be persuaded to keep you in our good graces!

[He may jerk back a little with surprise as several villagers immediately leap at the chance, shouting over one another with what they have to offer. Junkrat gives his partner a quizzical look.] See? They're bloody nuts!

[pachimari]

[He'd like to see you try.]

[The looks the shorter folk give Roadhog are expected. He's large and his mask removes all human identity, really. But. Damn, he wouldn't expect them to rush to get him fed! He could see why Junkrat was uneasy about it earlier.]

That is fuckin' weird..[When has ANYONE shown them hospitality? Roadhog certainly won't turn anything down, but will have to be careful about showing his face.]

[explodey]

Your lead, mate. [Junkrat sounds wary now, his fingers twitching slightly. He doesn't like this still. Maybe it's a trap? They do have a pretty sizable bounty on their heads.... but with Hog here, he feels like the odds are stacked in his favor. Shit goes south, and they can just bash their brains in before making one of their infamous getaways.]

[pachimari]

[It'll take him a good moment of thought before he finally takes something from one of the townsfolk, lifting his mask so he can shove whatever food into his mouth.]

[He chews silently, stills for a couple of seconds, SEEMS LIKE MAYBE SOMETHING IS WRONG, but he's just shocked by how good it tastes. ...Soon enough, he'll take what he can and stuff his face. Oh, hell, he needed this.]
