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.

Vegeta | Dragonball Z

ONE

[Vegeta's eyes shoot open the moment he regains consciousness. There's wet sand underneath him and freezing water lapping at his legs, helping to numb the throbbing pain he feels all over. He tries to stand and falls back down again, and settles for dragging himself out of the wet and into a sitting position.

His hand flies to his chest; no hole. Either he's alive, or this is hell. Which it very well could be, he realizes a moment later. He can see lights in the distance and smell the salt in the air, but nothing is as sharp as it should be. The roar of the ocean seems muted, every one of his senses dulled. And if this was hell- he reaches for his Ki to warm himself and finds nothing.]

So this is it. The honor of my race in the hands of a fool, and I don't even get to see the outcome.

[He looks at the ocean for a long moment before the cold gets to him, and he forces himself towards the lights.]

TWO

[The shock started wearing off at around the moment the first pamphlet was thrust into his hands. He glanced briefly at the cover before tearing the thing in half and leaping to his feet. The rage was returning in full force. A couple villagers reach for weapons and he's momentarily baffled by the insult.

Who in the galaxy hadn't heard of him? What idiots would dare challenge the Prince of all Saiyans --a nagging voice reminds him that his living subjects are a sum total of one, and he still isn't sure if that includes himself-- and expect to come out alive? Even without his ki... there weren't too many. He could take them.]

You! Tell me where I am at once! Even if this is hell, I expect that you can still feel pain.
