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.

[nidad]

Fufufu...truly, it does my heart good to hear that. To know my classmates are doing so well...!

[He turns his face up towards the sky, fist clenched before his chest, but stops himself.]

Right, I said I'd contain myself. [He sniffs manfully. Also, grossly. There may be something glistening at the corner of his eye.] Everyone...I'm so proud of your accomplishments...!

[nolemon]

[Ewwww.]

Hold yourself together! It's not like we conquered Ryslig or anyhing yet.

[nidad]

If that's our group's aim, then I'm ready to give each of you my all! A manager's job is to make the impossible possible!

[Somewhere, somewhen, someone starts to play "Eye of the Tiger."]

...But, uh, what is a Ryslig, exactly?

[nolemon]

It's not a ting, it's the name of this place.

[...Nidai, please.]

Don't tell me you'd actually support us if we decided to just take this place over.

[nidad]

Of course I would! It's also a manager's job to let their athletes achieve their goals!

[He cracks his neck casually.]

I don't know what any of you would want with a conquered world, but I'm sure the striving would do everyone good, in their own fashion.

[nolemon]

While it's good that you're so dedicated to your talent, I think it's a good thing that we probably won't be doing something like that.

[... Suddenly she understands why they were probably such a terror, with someone like Nidai supporting them.]

[nidad]

Hahahaha! Glad to hear it! Though that makes me want to ask another question!

[He smiles congenially. Or, well, congenially for Nidai, which of course looks about a thousand times more INTENSE and VIRILE than it has to.]

Saionji, do you have a particular goal to achieve in this place? This Ryslig?

[nolemon]

Huh?

[What kind of question was that? That. Actually gets her to look down a little. She's not really sure what to do here. Make Mahiru proud? Is that an option?]

Not really?

[nidad]

Then it is a question worth thinking about, at any rate. Having a goal...it turns time from a prison to a plan, and inertia into forward motion! Every athlete who's achieved greatness started with a goal.

[Traditional dancing...it's sort of like athletic competition, isn't it?]

I think our class, as a team, should have one. What do you think?

[nolemon]

You're going to sound like my grandmother if you keep talking like that.

[Everything has it's place and preparation is a key element of dance. A good dancer can change things on a whim but only if they have a solid base.]

Well... It's not a bad idea. Don't know what we would choose, though.

[nidad]

It's not something we can decide without the rest of the group. Still, the very thought fills me with electricity...!

[Team Management Team Management Team Management Team Managemeeeeent!]

Could you help me spread the word, Saionji? For Koizumi and the others to think about what goals we can set as a class, that is.

[nolemon]

Y-yeah, I guess if I have to.

[Oh, god. He's scary when he's in manager mode. Maybe he won't even notice if she starts backing away.]

[nidad]

Thanks! Now, I'll go see who else I can find!

[Nekomaru and you grew a little closer today...]
