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

[Well, she was mostly asking him to correct her pronunciation, but she'll accept being read to. She sits up straighter and purses her lips, trying to not make it obvious that she's vaguely uncomfortable with basically all of everything right now.]

...ah, do the colors denote severity of the surprise? [That's... maybe not a request to continue, but it certainly isn't a cease and desist, either.]

Haa. Of course.

_{[ He's a leader of his own faction, he's used to lecturing all the time. For somebody so stony faced, Katsura actually perks his lips upward in a slight smile. He loves talking about criminal acts! Because to him, it's justified-- what he is doing isn't wrong.
His eyes sparkle too, but somehow his expression still seems intense, eyebrows pinning closer together.

He turns the pamphlet around and points. Green to yellow to red-- these indicate different "levels" of terror— er, political activism. Lucille might take notice that "turning the toilet paper roll backwards" is listed on the red part.

His faction is a lot more moderate now, but he seems proud of his ingenious plans. ]}

It's easy to rebel against the Bakufu. Fu hu hu.. anyone can do it with three easy steps.
_{[ why does he start conversations like this... this is how he gets caught so easily by the police. ]}

[She turns her eyes to the pamphlet as it's shown to her and glances down the warnings, blinking a few times when she reads the red point of activism. Backwards...? Could something that is a roll truly be backwards in the first place?]

...ah, I'm afraid I don't understand. Bakufu?

_{[ She looks like a foreigner-- well. Not like an Amanto. Not that kind of foreigner. That was a strong accent she had too.. where exactly was she from? Katsura frowns. He thinks he could let her understand his view on the whole subject, but would it really matter? He still wasn't entire sure where he was, and as dumb as he sometimes, he knew this wasn't beautiful Japan. ]}

Hmph. If they even want to call themselves that anymore.
_{[ He honestly has no idea what direction his government is going in right now and it's scary. ]}

Surely your home is not Japan.

[She very sincerely has No Idea what to do with this strangely beautiful man. Licking her lips, she shakes her head slowly, passing over his grumbled first comment entirely.]

Ah, no. France.

I would not go as far as to say that you're as bad as them, but--
_{[ Be nice, Katsura. Let go of your traditionalist ways.. just this once in front of a stranger. ]}

I am sure France has its struggles.. and France has done you wrong before. Perhaps it was not French, enough. The escargot was not escargot enough; there was not enough wine and cheese, or perhaps not enough strikes scheduled in one month.
_{[ rude.. ]}

It is like that.
Then Japan I know is not as it should be and it is accommodating a new culture that excludes us samurai.
_{[ yeah he's a samurai dude. ]}
