TEST DRIVE MEME

TEST DRIVE MEME: JULY

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.

So all this- [He shakes the pamphlets] -isn't just rubbish.

[What in hell, man. Okay, so, whatever this place is, they actually turn into monsters. Right. Brilliant. Okay.]

Alright, so... you're here how?
alphaophiuchi: (no)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ excuse the fact that he's staring at you like you're an idiot, Harry. It's probably pretty normal anyway. ]

The same way you are, I presume. That's an incredibly stupid question, even for you.

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He rolls his eyes.]

Right. I get hit with the killing curse and wake up on a beach, and that's how you got here? Brilliant. Who did it? I'll give them a medal.
alphaophiuchi: (wow you're dumb)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...what?

[ hold the fuck up. ]
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Now it's his turn to look at Draco like he's stupid.]

Voldemort, you remember him, yeah? Battle at Hogwarts? Any of this ringing a bell?
alphaophiuchi: (what da fuq)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. It's done with. Over. [ thank Merlin. How exhausting. ]

And you were most certainly not dead last time I looked.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[...the fuck.]

What?
alphaophiuchi: (disgruntled)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ at least they're on the same page here. ]

You weren't. Not that I care one way or another. But you weren't, so I don't know what the hell you're remembering.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The last thing I remember, I'd gone down to the forest to confront him. [Well, to do the last act of his Wizarding!Jesus thing.] He hit me with the killing curse and I woke up on the beach.

Unless you're telling me that I [Magically] somehow managed to survive being hit with that a second time. It's not as if a Death Eater was going to throw themselves between me and that curse.
alphaophiuchi: (bitch plz)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he blinks. It's slow. He doesn't know the details of what went on there - or really much at all - so he can't give Harry an explanation of what happens.

[ but what he does know is that Harry is definitely not dead, last time he checked, and the war's over. Unless something got jumbled somewhere down the line, this makes no sense.

[ ...there's no way Draco's going to let that on, though. So he shrugs, casual as anything. ]


Perhaps you lost your mind. That's always an option, I'd say.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456856)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a possibility. I did risk my arse to save you, after all.

[Not that he wouldn't have. Because what is knowingly letting someone die.]
Edited 2017-07-15 22:33 (UTC)
alphaophiuchi: (wow you're boring)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his mouth twtches. ]

Right. [ gods, don't remind him. ] Lucky me. Now I get to live with you and your insufferable hero complex.

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I did my part, Malfoy. You'll have to save yourself next time.

[Yes, because being able to ignore all sorts of inept people who can't protect the people they're supposed to is going to be that easy. But that's sort of what he'd like. He lost his family, gained a new one, lost most of that one, and then got told to go kill himself (not in those words). He wants to be Done With This Shit.

Easier said than done.

Especially since he's grown up having to do it.]
alphaophiuchi: (casual)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I've been doing just fine while here, thank you very much.

[ at least he can rest assured knowing that Draco isn't going to ask anything of him. Far from, in fact. ]
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Then there's no reason I should have to put up with you.
alphaophiuchi: (dryly staring)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You're still here. And you have a tendency to do that very loudly indeed.

Also, I was here first.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[OMG Draco.]

Really, Malfoy? 'I was here first'? I'm sorry, are you ten again?
alphaophiuchi: (glowering to the side)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Shut it, Potter.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll take that as a 'yes'.
alphaophiuchi: (super sideeye)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Just stay out of my way. Move to Vandare. Or better yet, out by the beach. Just stay by the beach.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456888)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-15 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll live wherever I bloody well please.
alphaophiuchi: (judging you silently)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-15 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I have a life here. One that's halfway decent. So at least stay out of that.

Common courtesy, Potter. Someone had to have mentioned it somewhere down the line.
crux_ofmylife: (pic#9456881)

[personal profile] crux_ofmylife 2017-07-16 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously I'm going to.
alphaophiuchi: (i have to do this)

[personal profile] alphaophiuchi 2017-07-16 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Good. I wasn't sure I could trust you to manage.
