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.

[It takes Nidai a second or two, but, oh--the camera. Of course!]

Koooizumiiii!!

[Aaaaah, his classmates are all alive once more. For all this world's strangeness, it is good to see them walking around, going about their business, just like they tried to keep their spirits up on the island.]

You're looking well! I hope you've been taking care of your body properly, with muscles like that!

[- Well, she was going to greet him just as cheerfully, but then he had to go and mention The Minotaur Thing.]

A-ah, of course! But this is just - I mean, it's just part of being a Minotaur, you know!
I'd probably stay this way whether I bothered or not...

[Magic Muscles are a pain, man. She wouldn't wish them on anyone.
Except maybe Nidai, since he probably wouldn't change much.]

But, besides that - are you doing alright? The class that's here caught me up on everything, after all...
Tanaka told me about what happened between the two of you, specifically.

Oh...so Tanaka told you, did he...

[Nidai turns away for a moment, but his smile when he looks at Koizumi is fierce and bright.]

No need to worry about me! I, Nidai Nekomaru, have been restored to my former self, and have another chance to live life to the fullest! I've never been in better spirits!

[His smile softens, proud and genuine.]

Truly, it's good to be back among my classmates, whatever the conditions.

[... Was he like this, back on the island? She's not sure she can remember it, but... then again, she did "die" rather early on.
It was like this with Kuzuryuu and Gundam, too; there's just so much about her classmates she apparently doesn't know...

Either way, it's nice to see him in such high spirits - though, he could do with turning down the volume a notch.
But that just means one thing. Before she says anything else, she's snapping a photo of Nidai, trying to capture that proud, soft smile of his; which gets mirrored when she lowers the camera to look at him again.]

... It really is nice to have you with us again. At least now I'll have a boy around who's actually reliable.
Tanaka and Kuzuryuu can be handy in some situations, but... they usually keep to themselves, you know?

[The photo op takes him by surprise, though it shouldn't. Somehow, that flash of normality, that return to those first days on the island, before they knew how bad things were going to get--somehow, that's what makes him understand that this is real. That they're alive.]

Wahahahaha!

[He loves his class.]

As long as it's you, Koizumi, I think you'll see just how reliable men like Tanaka and Kuzuryuu really are! The visual acuity and observation of the Super High School Level Photographer is second to none!

[Nidai grins at her and pounds his chest.]

But you're right. For as long as I'm here, you can depend on me! I'll support you with everything I've got!!
