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.

B-but it's better if I'm gross! If I'm cute, people won't hate me! Nobody hates you, Kotoko-chan, so that's not good at all for me!

[Be kind to him, Kotoko. Don't make it impossible for people to hate him, how could you do something like that? How could you be so cruel?! And then he adds, a little quietly:]

I care about being underwater...

[He likes his fish friends. Slimy and gross though they are.]

[adorb]

Sheesh, use your head, Jataro-kun! Everyone likes me 'cause I'm super duper adorbs! You need to become adorbs too!

[Sorry, Jataro. She's trying to help in her own way! Or maybe not. She likes seeing him panic about something like this.]

I guess it suits you. [And then suddenly she thinks of something that might just change her mind about the water.] Oh, oh! Can I use you as a surfing board?

[maskinglayer]

I don't want people to like me... [He doesn't want to be adorbs!! But hey, that's a good question. Could she use him as a surfboard...?]

Well, since I can breathe underwater, I guess you could use me as a surfing board. I don't know if I'd be a very good one, since it's not like I'm good at anything else, but all I'd have to do is just stay really still and let you stand on me...

[That probably wouldn't be too hard?]

[adorb]

Geez, speak up, Jataro-kun! Or else I'll think you're adorbs!

[She doesn't exactly mind swimming or anything (despite her questioning Jataro on why he likes the underwater) but who knows what disgusting types of stuff is in the water here.]

Yeah, you wouldn't be a very good surfboard or anything. [She sighs in agreement.] Buuuut I could just sit on your back! That'd be fun, wouldn't it?
