TEST DRIVE MEME

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.

"That is as far as I know. Your accent is from no place nor time in my own world, therefore I must believe this to be another world."

His own annoyance is showing. Because it always does.

"Are you human or something else?"

"I dinnae run into too many people with pointed ears where I'm from, either."

Another world? Is this man mad? Well... perhaps not. Anything is possible. I'm starting to think like an old man. Bah!

"I'm human," he says out of habit. "What're you, then? Eh?" If the other man's going to ask, so was he!

Magus shrugs. Grey skinned, blue haired, red eyes. He hardly looks human anymore, and he hardly thinks of himself as such. But he knows he is.

"Most consider me mazoku, a type of demon."
throughmyhands: (uh)

Demon. Dugan's eyes narrow. It felt like yesterday that his wife was killed by a demon. Though this man... thing... didn't look like any demon he'd ever seen.

"What do you consider yourself to be?" Answer this one carefully, friend. Though what Dugan could do about anything in any case wouldn't be much. Mostly he'd just be Scottish at him.

Magus isn't surprised to see that reaction. Most humans have that reaction to mazoku in general. For good reason, of course. Genocidal war combined with Human Are Food Not Friends.

He shrugs at the question. "Does it matter?"

To some it does, he thinks, but holds his tongue, looks around at the barren beach stretching far and wide.

"I'd rather trust you than not, considering our situation, so not at the moment." And what had it mattered to the demon that he was human? He runs his hand through his hair again, freeing the errant pebble of sand. "Tch. We should get moving. Maybe there's a settlement of a sort near here."

His brow raises at this strange saying he'd rather trust him, Magus, than not. Why trust someone who happened to be on the beach with you? Someone who looks so clearly like a demon?

"Could be."

Usually, peoples had at least one settlement by water. Hopefully, they would be near it. He had little desire to be on a camping trip with some old human.
