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.

[ ... This doesn't make sense.

None of this situation makes sense but why would she be running into... well, what HAS to be a cosplayer on this beach in the middle of nowhere. Her mind's already swimming and this? This isn't helping. She purses her lips tight for a moment, taking in a sharp breath. She's not quite sure what to say but then she nods. ]

... That's the answer I was afraid of. But I suppose wallowing in that won't get me home any sooner.

[ Another deep breath. She's very visibly trying to keep herself calm while on the verge of absolutely losing it. As is the Dia way, really. ]

Yes. Please, if you don't mind, I...

[ Remembering her manners, she bows deeply at the waist. ]

Thank you for your offer. I'll take the blanket.

[Marco smiles at her in a way he hopes to be reassuring, but then, as he looks back over his shoulder, a frown sneaks back into his face.]

Right, they're all the way back there...

Do you mind coming with me? Not much point in staying here anyway.

[As he holds out a webbed hand - it's hovering near her shoulder - Marco tries to get that smile back on his face.]
