TEST DRIVE MEME: JANUARY

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.

[You've gotten a good idea of what's happening here. And if you were to be honest with yourself, this isn't half bad at all. The loss of your powers is not a bad thing by any means. There are still little every day charms you can do. You don't need the incredible influx of power that you possessed. It was too much. The only person who'd ever understood that was Clow, and look what he did with himself.

Turning into some kind of demon? Well, it's alarming but it's not frightening. You know so many different kinds from your many many years. It'd be thrilling to turn into some kind of creature.

Eating humans? Yes, upsetting but it's part of this new life. You could consider these new shackles but they feel far better than the ones she lived with all her life. This is no cage. It's freedom.

And so Yuuko can't help but relish in this freedom. The fog feels loving. A witch perhaps as powerful as she had once been... She wants to thank her. Truly she does. It's not exactly the second chance at life she'd have liked but it is something which is more than she ever expected.

There's something important going on. A ceremony to this Fog God? Well, she doesn't see why she can't stay and watch for a bit. Maybe someone will tell her where she can find this Goddess.]

Four

[The changes. Everyone said they'd be painful and they were not kidding. Severe physical pain is not something she's used to. There is suffering and then suffering. But it could always be worse... The pain is in her back, along her shoulder blades. She's glad to be wearing an open back dress today. What will it be? Spikes? Fur? What is she going to turn into...

It only takes a few more moments but the new body part bursts from her back at long last, scattering the smallest droplets of blood in their wake. They feel very light and they slowly unfurl behind her...

Wings. And they're incredibly fitting to her entire aesthetic. Butterfly wings! So often she'd worn a heavy accessory to make it look like she had them. But now they're real! Oh these are wonderful... And it seems to be the only change that she's going to get. Another wonderful gift from the Fog Goddess... And while it does come at a price (a touch of humanity) it's alright. Nothing is free and the scales must always be in balance. A gift such as this requires something in return though. She should do something nice for the Fog God...

Oh! Oh, she knows exactly what she should do.

She's quick to pick herself up off the floor and she throws open the door to where her current housemates are.]

Come have a drink with me and the Fog God!

[There's a bear in the sitting room with their snout buried in a book. When Yuuko emerges with a brand new pair of wings, she gets up with a incredulous look on her face.]

Wait, what? No, we're not going anywhere. What if you sprout another pair of arms?
