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.

[... Yeah, the annoyed look is back. Good job.

Marco does try to tone it down though.]

Well, that depends. If you ask me, we get off pretty easy compared to some other species. Generally speaking. The coat was... not nice to grow, but I haven't seen another one of us with something like this, so you probably don't have to worry about it.

[And then he adds, almost in a mumble:]

A friend's mouth gets worse during the fog.

[adandyinspace]

[Dandy feeds off of annoyed looks, the mission is a success.]

Your friend's mouth does what now?

[It's hard to tell with the mumbling, and a part of Dandy isn't sure he wants to know.

...And yet another part of him wants to really know.]

[peccatore]

It, ah... Well, it...

[Well, damn. How is he supposed to explain this with actual words? Surely, the words are out there, but they sure aren't coming to him.]

... Have you ever seen a gulper eel?

[adandyinspace]

Uh... Pro...bab...ly...?

[Probably not.]

How about you give me some details?

[peccatore]

[... Yeah, probably not a good idea. For all Marco knows, eels don't even exist wherever this guy comes from.]

They're... big. Like...

[He brings a finger to the corner of his mouth and then traces a line all the way back to the jaw.

... He might be overdoing it a little.]

[adandyinspace]

[Oh.

Ooooooohhhhhh.

...Oh god, that could've been him.]

And I'm sure they have a lot of fun with that, yeesh.

[Dandy makes a mental note: Look for the uggo.]

[peccatore]

Well... At least it's just during the fog.

[He thinks.]

At any rate, it's not... not a common feature or anything. You probably don't have to worry about it.
