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.

[ He’s guessing that’s “Catholic”. He would have loved a religion with cats in it though. (Makes Egypt more interesting.) ]

It’s sad because you’re still so young and someone so young shouldn’t have to see death, you should just play.

[ He’s not only speaking of Ron in this case. ]

[ Ron would have too, but he doesn't know of any. ]

I've seen lots of death. I'm a comrade because I didn't kill myself but a boy hanged himself at the orphanage.

[ Definitely that kind of Comrade, then. Professor Horner shared enough of his researched with the Special Force and they have intel from elsewhere too, so hearing this is pretty much proof that they’re from the same world.

The mention of someone hanging themselves in the course of that suicide virus (because he’s pretty sure that’s the case) makes him pause for longer than he intended. ]

[ But he shakes depressing thoughts out of his head. ]

I’m glad you didn’t kill yourself back then. Hopefully you’ll see less death from not on.

[ What a strange look this person had on his face. He couldn't understand the meaning behind it.

And surely he must have known some people hang themselves as a means of suicide? A lot of people killed themselves during that period of time, in many different methods. ]

Yeah, I wanted to but I didn't.

[ It’s better he doesn’t understand the expression. They don’t know each other well enough for D2 to explain the reason.

Of course he knows several people who killed themselves that time. So many people killed themselves back then. Everyone with a smile on their face. He’s seen a lot of creepy things over the years, but that’s one of the creepiest things he’s seen. ]

It’s great that you didn’t. And I’m sure your family thinks so too.

[ He knows that a lot of people don't like hearing about the pull of the suicide virus. It was of course always there at the back of all the comrade's minds, even though it was subconscious.

Did he see any children doing so? That is terrifying. ]

Yeah. Daddy's even helping me saving my coins to get my powers back!

[ It doesn’t really matter that much… People commit suicide, you just have to put aside it if you’ve seen it or had anyone you know do it. D2’s method to not think about things he didn’t like to think about was by soldier work. ]

That’s great. What powers do you have?

[ Comrades has a lot of different powers, he knows that. Hopefully the kid doesn't have powers of blowing people up with bubbles. (Is it weird that D2 would like to get to know that guy even though he killed him?) ]

Water! I turn to water! I drown people!

[ He really sounds way too happy about that.

People don't really have the same abilities, at the very least Ron hasn't seen any with the same ones, so at the very least D2's hopes come true with no bubbles. ]

[ A child shouldn’t sound so happy about something like that. ]

You turn into water? That sounds pretty cool.

[ He has not heard of any Comrade being able to do that. The professor has mentioned several powers he’s found out about, through the Poet or otherwise, but not that. ]

You’re not going to drown people randomly with it, right?

[ He figures he won’t since his dad wouldn’t like it, but either way. ]

[ Too late, he's so proud of those abilities. ]

Yup! I can fit in small places!

[ Because of said powers, which is what makes it a relevant thing to say, of course. ]

Not anymore! Only when someone's being a meany.

[ Seems that way. But D2 is proud of hs abilities, too. They might not be any kind of abilities that the Comrades has, but it’s his abilities and they prove that he’s worth at least something. ]

Definitely cool, then. Sometimes it’s very useful to be able to fit in small places.

Are people being meanies a lot here?
