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.

[Things have been.. weird lately. From fighting with brothers to weird kidnappings and everything in between, Osomatsu was feeling oddly stressed out and decided to check out the beach where he heard newcomers were arriving just to see some fresh faces, mostly. He didn't expect to see anyone familiar on the shores so when he heard Totoko's voice, and saw her just a little bit away he has to take a double take. And then a triple take. And then he feels the sting of tears well up in his eyes and before he even realizes it, he's running at her with his arms out wailing like a big baby.]

TOTOKO-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!

[It's been six months since he's seen her last... how could he even live all this time without her...

....also don't mind the fact that he's a manticore now, okay? He's just.. a big cat-man with scorpion tails no big deal.]

[There's a rule that, in this moment, Totoko has decided is one she should henceforth be living her life by. The rule is this: When in doubt, place blame on a Matsuno.

She flaps her arms about, yelling loudly and secretly very relieved that she's not alone.]

You stupid, stupid garbage!! You soggy, cold taiyaki! You-

[Of course, her initial reaction to that voice is totally derailed when Osomatsu is close enough that she can see him more clearly through the darkness and her own tears.]

Wh-- Wh-!!

[Is that shock? Horror?]

What is up with that hideous costume at a time like this?!

[Ah.]

["What is up with that hideous costume", she asks. And he almost, almost answers her seriously.. telling her that it's not a costume and that he's turned into an actual monster.

Almost.]

[But this is Totoko-chan we're talking to here, and the last thing he wants to do is have her hate him because he's a gross monster now or become scared of him or cry because she'll no doubt turn into one too. So Osomatsu stops in place and throws on a fake smile, pulling his hands up to mimick a cat as he talks.]

I-I thought it'd be fun to wear this to welcome you here, Totoko-chan! I'm Osonyatsu!

[He turns his wrist a couple of times for good measure.]

G-get it? Osonyatsu? Y'know, like.. nya?

[yes i did just find a way to write that out icly it happened]
