TEST DRIVE MEME
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, no, absolutely none of that makes any sense without context, but luckily for Marco Ford is used to his life being a confusing, bizarre, trashfire of an existence. After drifting through the multiverse for thirty years and having his understanding of reality warped time and time again, he's become pretty damn desensitized to the whole "weird things are happening, just roll with it" business.]
Right, right.
[He nods, though it doesn't seem as though he was paying much attention in the first place - probably because he's already planning on how to get the hell out of wherever this is and go back home, so he's compartmentalized it all as irrelevant.]
And how did I get here, exactly? Worm hole, teleportation? Summoning circle?
[It's hard to tell if that last one is a joke, or if he's being sincere.]
no subject
A god kidnapped you.
[In turn, Marco is also 100% serious.]
no subject
[Ford pulls his head back incredulously, his shoulders hunching as he throws his hands up in exasperation.]
Good grief, I'm starting to think the Greeks were on to something.
[They sure seem to have gotten the "they like to kidnap mortals for vague and usually not very good reasons" part down pat.]
no subject
Has this happened to you before, then?
no subject
[He waves his hand dismissively, as if this sort of thing happens to people all the time.]
Gods, Eldritch horrors; tomato tomato.
no subject
... Of course. Well, I... I'm glad I don't have to convince you of what I'm saying, at least.
Next point, then-- Wait. No. I already told you about the changes.
