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.

[Well then, that's something he'll just have to get used to - Siouxsie isn't afraid to say anything, even unladylike insults. Or something like that.
At his question, though, she looks in his... general direction, squinting to try and see him.]

... I dunno. Am I?

[Is that what that's called?
She risks looking up at the sky where he's pointing... only to immediately let out a shrill of pain, covering the eyeholes of her mask.
She's... also not smart. Obviously.]

- Yeah, I'm talking about that... thing! Ugh, it's like someone's poking me with a torch right in the eyes!

[hyaku]

You haven't seen the sun before?

[Shigeo sits back on his heels as he looks up at her curiously. What kind of person hasn't seen the sun? Someone that lives underground? In a tunnel?

Or maybe she's...]

Are you a spirit?

[He hasn't felt anything from her to say otherwise but.. he hasn't felt anything at all since he woke up on that beach. It's like his ESP had suddenly vanished, and he's not sure how to feel about it so he just. Hasn't thought about it yet.]

[marysioux]

[Yeah, okay, that gets a bit of a blank look from her for a second - not that he can see it through her mask, of course.
But, really? He thinks she might be a spirit? Like - a ghost?

... Should she tell the truth, or...
Nah. She'll be nice. He's just a kid, after all - she's not fond of people who fuck with kids just because they don't know any better.]

No, I'm not a spirit - do you seriously think I'm a ghost or something?
You can't run into a ghost, kiddo.

["Nice".

After saying that, though, she lifts her mask - just so she can rub at her eyes with a noise of frustration, obviously just a little miffed about everything that's happened today.]

Jeez... first I wake up covered in water and pain, then the sky decides to try and gouge my eyes out, and now I'm knocking over kids because I can't see.
What shitty luck.

... You aren't planning on going somewhere dark, are you?
Feel like helping out a pretty lady, maybe?

[hyaku]

...you can run into them if they want to be seen.

[Though he mumbles that to himself more than anything else, as she changes the subject.]

Um.. I wasn't planning on going somewhere dark. But I could help you find somewhere, if you want?

[He's already started to look around to see if there might be a dark building or something around the two of them.]
