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

It's a good question, in fairness. There are definitely creeps out there. He doesn't have that good an answer.

"Then you get out of there, but you can't keep sleeping in a graveyard or whatever. That's really disrespectful. And dangerous. You know how it's going to look to the people who are trying to visit their loved ones, right?"

"It's not like I'm gonna bother 'em while they're there." He grumbled, flipping a bit of his greasy mop hair out of one eye. But whatever, a bed is a bed.

"Thanks for the offer, Mister."

It's easier not to argue with him. Instead he just shrugs.

"You're welcome. Just make sure you look, okay? You can't sleep on a couch forever."

He already feels a little weird about the offer, but it's better than anything else he can think of. At least as a temporary means.

"Fine, you've got it." He looked about the room, feeling strangely hollow, arms wrapped around himself.

There's really not much else that could be done, he supposes. The grass stains on his hoodie make it apparent that any offer is more welcome than he'll ever admit.

"So, do you have a name?" he asks, a little awkwardly. Should have asked that before offering up his couch to him.

"We should probably introduce ourselves if you're going to stay with me. I'm Oliver."

"Robbie V, of Robbie V. and the Tombstones." He worked out a small, proud little smirk. If Oliver had heard of the band- however unlikely- he was probably a fan. If not, he could always introduce him to the best metal band in Gravity Falls.

"Oh." Can moths look blank? Really, they probably normally do, but he manages to look more blank than normal. "That's... your band?"

He's guessing. Is he famous where he comes from? He sounds like he expects him to get it.

Yes he's totally famous go with that.

"Yeah, only the best alterna-metal outfit around."

The young man went to dig a phone out of his pocket, to show off a poster and maybe a snippet of their signature anthem "You're Dead" but, alas, he didn't have any of his old pictures. Well, that's disheartening.
