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.

[...So he was just dense, huh? She stops glaring at him, but now she just looks confused.]

Nope.... I heard someone telling me that too. But I thought it was just my manager! Now it couldn't be. Not if you heard it anyway.

[He's no Vocaloid. That's for sure. But speaking of... she looks over at the arcade games. No one else is here but them, so an uncertain thought comes to her.]

Uhh. Hmm. Maybe they're in one of those? ♪

[hyaku]

[He's almost disappointed that Rin wasn't who he was looking for, and it really just brings up more questions if she could hear the voice too. Maybe it was a spirit or something... he hasn't felt any spirits around though, so it's really hard to say.

That being said, when she looked over at the arcade games, Shigeo did the same. Curious about where her line of thought would go from here.. but then she suggests that they're actually in one of the machines and the look he gives her is that of someone who thinks it's a bullshit idea.]

...do you think someone could fit in one of these?

[...or maybe that's just how his resting face looks like, because he seems legitimately curious now as he goes over to one of them and starts to look it over.]

[roadroller]

Who knows?

[She shrugs off that look of his. What would she care even if he thought it was bullshit? He doesn't know her life!!]

A human being couldn't, but someone who can talk in your head is obviously not human. Even I know that much.

[Well, if he's going to go look at it, she'll let him do the work then. Peeking over his shoulder like a backseat gamer.]

[hyaku]

...I thought so.

[Shigeo moves to the side of the machine, locating the side panel that opens up and he starts trying to tug on it but ah.. it needs some kind of screw driver, of course.]

It must be a spirit, then. I don't know why it would be calling people here, though...

[His voice sounds a little strained as he tugs and tugs against the metal.]

[roadroller]

Spirit? Those are real?

[Genuine curiosity here. She's got a vague idea but she thought it was like. A Halloween thing, or youkai myths. Her assumption about the voice was still something along the lines of 'digital entity' given the aura of this place, but it's not like she has any frame of reference to guess it's a computer god either.

Spirits, though. That sounds interesting. Too bad Shigeo doesn't seem to be making much headway with that metal plate.... she wanders off to search for something that could be used.

Instead, she finds the curtain hiding the bound humans for feeding. And stares.]

....

[She whips the curtain back shut.]

I don't think we're old enough to be in here!
