TEST DRIVE MEME: MAY

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 of the natives are trying to get on your good side with 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? Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The trees are dying, Jimmy.]

Do I look like I live here?!

Uh...

[Jimmy blinks, looking Dandy up and down. He doesn't look like a demon, but he doesn't really look like any monster he can identify otherwise, either...]

Maybe? That's why I asked!

...Oh.

[Well that's perfectly understandable. I guess.]

Nah, I got dragged to Planet Freaky Monster Bullshit about a month ago...or something. All you can do is ride those freaky monster waves until it's time to split, so...

[SHRUG]

Oooh...so wait, you're saying this is a whole other planet? Like the moon, or something?

[This is in fact not the moon, despite the fact that your moon has a monster living on it.]

...Exactly, just like the moon.

[Dandy doesn't have time to explain the difference between planets and moons and let's move on]

Wooah...that's awesmazing!

[Jimmy grins, flashing Dandy a smile that shows a missing tooth on one side.]

I dunno how I got to a whole other planet, but that's still pretty cool!

[Holy shit, this kid's hardcore, obviously he's been in at least one fight. Better watch out.]

Trust me, it's way easier if you just don't think about it.

[something something interdimensional traveling sucks]

Until then, you already got the right kinda attitude, you might as well make the most out of what you got in this dump. As for me, I know I'm splitsville once I finally get my ship, but I'd be lying if I said things haven't been treating me nice.

[Hold that thought, Dandy, because Jimmy is gasping. Sharply.]

You- you have a spaceship?!

I have a spaceship.

Where is it? You said you're gonna get it, right?

[He really...really wants to see your ship, Dandy.]

[Dandy really really wants to see his ship too.]

Well maybe if SOMEONE paid any attention, they'd figure out it's not exactly here yet. Didn't you hear me? I said I'd be long gone if it were here already, you idiot, who knows where it is right now.

...But I'm workin' on it.

Oh...well, do you need help finding it? Maybe you like...crash landed it here, somewhere, and then the crash landing gave you amnesia and you can't remember where it is?

If I can't remember where it is, how the hell am I supposed to find it?!

I could help you find it! Aren't you looking for it? You said you were working on it!

Tch, why look for it when I can just have some magic chick bring it to me?

[You're thinking too small, Jimmy.]

Zero effort, baby!

...huh?

[You forget he's been here for all of a day, he has no idea who this magic chick you speak of is.]

[...What about "magic chick" is so hard to understand?]

Jeez- Okay, so there's this magic chick who'll... she grants you wishes or whatever if you give her enough coins. Look, I don't know all the details, just trust me.

[He has no reason to trust you, adult who has been yelling at him this whole time. But he's going to anyway.]

Coins, huh...that sounds pretty neat, actually. So she's like a genie, or something! Without a bottle, I guess.

And the sexy outfit, but that's basically the idea.

[Good for you.]

If you don't piss me off, I might even take you with me.

[Provided he turns into something really freaky and he can make lots of money off of him, of course.]

[I mean, that's almost a guarantee at this point.]

Woah, seriously? You really mean it?
