TEST DRIVE MEME: MARCH

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Perfect? Perfect? Dandy's all set to question his definition of perfect, quiz him on the number of different products he uses, ask him where he keeps every single emergency comb on his person. He's even prepared at least two and a half insults.

But.

If sense actually sunk in, Dandy could be facing some serious competition. As much as he hates to admit it, his hair doesn't sparkle, and if that neon blue mess actually got sculpted into a masterpiece, well...]

Fine, it's perfect. For you, maybe.

[Serious competition? Karamatsu? Not even when pigs fly.]

Of course. Anyone could see that I take immaculate care to ensure that my appearance is nothing short of beautiful~

[Barring the scars on his face, but it's fine.]

[Only in the hair department.

Face-wise, he is a muppet, Dandy has no fear.]

Then why the hell is your face all scratched up?

[Karamatsu actually visibly stiffens for the first time since he started talking to Dandy, looking- for a moment- disturbed. It passes quickly, but it happens.]

There was an incident, but...it is no matter now.

[If Dandy cares about any "incidents," he doesn't say anything.]

Okay, so...makeup?

[You can cover that shit up, bro. Says Dandy with the giant X scar on his chin.]

[...shit why hadn't he thought of that.]

I suppose it could work...but it would not hold very long. Not in these conditions.

[Dandy raises an eyebrow.]

Uh, what kinda conditions?

[...]

How long have you been here?

A long ass time.

[Dandy, a time, please.]

I dunno, like a month?

[What does this have to do with makeup????]

Ah.

[Ah]

So you have yet to experience what this peninsula has in store...if you do not understand what I mean by "conditions" now, you will.

[~*~You will~*~

God.]

Or you could cut out the cryptic bullshit and just tell me.

I am not being cryptic. This place is too unpredictable for me to tell you exactly what might happen. You might just deal with your changes happening, and you certainly will have to grapple with the moral dilemma of eating or starving yourself crazy.

You could be kidnapped and tortured. You may turn on your own friends or family. There is rarely any peace here, I am afraid.

[That would probably sound concerning to anyone who isn't Dandy.]

Dude, we're talking about makeup! It takes like two seconds to put on!

[...]

And I was saying it may not hold up in those conditions.

Unless your friends like to smear their hands all over your face while you're killing 'em, I think you'll be fine.

[And that's only if you buy the cheap shit!]

So you say!

[Oh, that's a dramatic finger pointing at him just then. Or claw, rather.]

But you will see soon enough, my friend. It is not fine!

[He gently slaps his claw away with the back of his hand. Don't you point at him.]

Rule number one, there's never anything about me that isn't fine.

[Wow listen]

Never?

[A hand brushes through his pompadour.]

Never ever, baby~

Even emotionally?

I— Wha— Yes. That's part of anything!
