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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Well now she kind of feels bad, though it was almost amusing that a shadow could seem to have some kind of personality, enough to droop like it did and make her feel like she could have waved back, her brows furrow at it and she clenches her hold slightly around the towel she held, the heat of the current weather starting to get to her with so many layers on considering she was in the middle of a blizzard before waking up in the turning of the surf against the sands of the shore. The man puts his hands into his pockets and she eyes them for a moment, looking to see if he is going to grab anything but he doesn't and slowly but surely the barriers break.

For now.]

But you're still you, or whoever you where before you started to change? [It's a combination between a statement and a question and it comes out slowly because she doesn't really know how to process that at the moment. In her world, you are no longer yourself when you change, when you get bit or breathe in the spores that make people loose themselves. So the man wasn't like this before, he was something different and he changed but still was him. Taking another long drink of the water to fill the silence as she considered it, she pulled the glass bottle away and held to it, a comfortable weight in her hand.] Like, you where this nice guy or something before you turned all ghosty when you got here.

[Another comment, question, caught between as she watches the rock sail into the ocean, taking a few tentative steps forward, near the waters.]

You're not from here then, you arrived like I did.

Yes. [Sandrath confirms with a nod and takes a moment to brush the sand from his hand on his pant leg. He doesn't mention the various things he had to adjust to since his species change. Most of them were trivial by human standards.]

I was originally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. [A small frown appears on his lips as his tone becomes emotionless. The tendrils on his back start to shift and move with anger.] When I woke up here, I was soaked to the bone, covered in several scratches and bruises. Except I wasn't on the beach. Apparently a fisherman fished me and many others up before dropping us off in the hospital. Don't go in to the hospital looking for answers. It's no longer in use. You'll have better luck at the Lake Dala clinic or in Bavan.

[Even though that would be a hit or miss for infomration. That reminds him to warn her about the state of Vandare.] When you go in to town, avoid the northern section. There was a recent change in the world of politics and the people who are scared of "monsters" and foreigners built a wall to keep us out.

I'm Xander by the way. [He gives her a smile, even if it was a bit forced.]
