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.

[Her vision isn't that blurry, and she can make out that it's not Link, but her heart still flutters and hopes it is him. Fi looks at the boy above her and she gives him a nod, somehow finding her face sore now it was out of its usual neutral expression and twisted into an expression of pain.

She gives a long whimper as the last of her skin breaks for now, the pale green bark mixing with the green and brown, clashing with the blue in her hair and eyes. It's only the first in her series of transformations, but it's over for now at least.]

... My health is dropping at a rapid rate, and there is an 80% chance I may die if I do not have water. I... I... [She winces as pain shoots down her back.] I humbly request your assistance at this time so your words may be true.

[expectional]

Water, right. Yes. H-hold on, I have some!

[He reaches for the messenger bag at his side, flipping it open and fumbling around inside. Luckily for Fi, one of Nagisa's best friends is a merboy and he can be...a bit absent minded, at times. Mers need to stay hydrated, so Nagisa's gotten into the habit of always having a bottle of water on him, just in case Jataro forgets his. After a few moments, he succeeds in pulling out the little bottle.]

You need to sit up first...come on...

[After setting the bottle down, he slides a hand underneath Fi to try and help her up. And boy is he glad he did, because that's when he finally notices that this poor girl doesn't have any arms. Would she even be able to sit up on her own?]

[goddessblade]

Thank you... I hope your kindness can be rewarded. [Fi groans again as she feels pain course through her sides. However, she curls her legs and she does her best to push herself up. It's a slow endeavour, and help is greatly accepted, but with enough time and squirming, she could have gotten up herself.

Thanks to Nagisa, Fi ges upright again and she holds back her tears as she feels a lurch in her stomach.]

Is there enough to spare for washing? I believe areas on my external surface would value the water as much as my insides.

[expectional]

Shh, try not to talk too much right now. Save your breath till you're recovered.

[Just drink, that's really all she should be using her mouth for right now, as far as he's concerned. He doesn't need thanks, this is just what any decent person would do.]

There should be enough to wash you off, though. You can use the whole bottle, I don't need it. So if you've had enough to drink... [His yellow-green eyes rove up and down her body, taking in all the bark, moss, and blood as he tries to figure out where the water would be best put to use as far as cleaning her off is concerned. It's not a very big water bottle, after all. There's only so much of her "external surface" that he can help here.] Where would you like me to pour it?

[goddessblade]

[She nods and takes the water, gulping it desperately Fi sighs as she pulls away finally, and she gestures her legs, the longest part of her. It has the most amount of gashes and wounds, as well as open sores.]

My legs experience the greatest amount of discomfort, and have the most plant matter. It would be logical to assume that it needs the most water. [She then closes her mouth, remembering she's not supposed to talk. It's so strange... hearing herself sound so weak.]
