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.
no subject
[He's pleased to see her, although why she's in this... in between place or whatever it is, is curious.]
no subject
... I have to say, I'm surprised that you followed me.
[And so close to the Tower too. Even if the door hadn't led to her dreams, it did leave somewhere. And then she realizes...]
Your gun. It's gone, Roland.
no subject
[That's what annoys him right now: wherever ka sent him, it did not see fit to send his guns along.]
I did not follow you, Susannah. I came here from the top of the Tower.
no subject
[Which is something she's used to since falling in with Roland, but still.]
What was in there, by the by?
[Even if she'd cried off before she'd reached it with him, she was still curious.]
no subject
[He frowns slightly. The panic he'd felt when all the memories came rushing back. How long had it been since he'd felt a surge of panic like that? Aside from the last time he'd been atop the Tower.]
You remember how I met Jake? At the waystation? Every time I get to the top, I am sent back to not long before that. I drop Jake again, pull the three of you into my world, and do it all over again.
no subject
[The single word comes out like a bullet.]
I... Roland that's... every time? How many times have you--? No, wait, I don't want to know. [She takes a deep breath and lets it out.] Do we ever make it there with you?
no subject
[He doesn't actually think a time will come when they do make it to the Tower with him. He'd been told when he was 14 that he would kill those he loved; Marten had told him that death was not for him. He also hasn't had time to think about it.]
no subject
[She knew the price of staying with Roland. She knew it better than anyone.]
no subject
[Comforting, isn't he? But such things have never been Roland's strong points.]
If you and I are in this place that should not be, mayhap we will find the others.
[It's a thought, but little more.]
no subject
[It sounds like wishful thinking... but wasn't wishful thinking why she went through the unfound door anyway?]
no subject
[He eyes the lights in the distance for a moment without saying anything. They were ka-tet, aye, but their tet was broken. She's no longer bound to him, and he knows she may not wish to follow him on this strange world.]
Will ye come w'me or no, Susannah?
no subject
Yes, Roland. I'll come with you.
[And she sighs ruefully.] I s'pose this means we're gonna have to rig up another sling for me when we have the stuff for it.
no subject
[He hunkers down in front of her so she can get on his back.]
But there's lights. Lights means civilization in some form. We may not need to rig something. [He tips his head to the side as a shrug.] May.
no subject
