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.

[Oops-did she make you a bit upset there? Well, Espurr keeps rather quiet until she gets the answer to her topic-changing question, looking back to the machines.] Oh, I see...what was the point of them? Just to play with?

[staystrong]

Yeah. For fun. They have games on them.

[She remembers them always being hard, but she'd been very young.]

You'd have to put in more coins to keep playing. Kind of a waste of money now that I think back on it.

[tripurragent]

Hmm. ...So...

...It's gambling? [...Not quite, but it might as well be, then.] ...Or more like a theater?

[She had fur, but she also had theaters?]

[staystrong]

Gambling? I don't know about that... And if it's a theater it's an interactive one.

It's a game.

[That explains enough, right? She doesn't actually want to do a demonstration. It would just be embarrassing.]

[tripurragent]

[On the one hand..it SHOULD be good enough. Espurr is not a fool by any means.

However, she is also a very curious person...] You say that, but something tells me this is quite a few stretches from cards or tag...

If it's interactive theater though...you mean that you change the story as you go through then..?

[Not really much of a story to joust, Espurr...]
