TEST DRIVE MEME: NOVEMBER

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.

[AH. HM. MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE EASED INTO THAT.]

I have to be honest, I haven't actually met a slime person yet so I have no idea.

You get used to it, for better or for worse.

That's NOT helping

What about you? Don't tell me you got out of it scale-free
peccatore: ((dicks))

Sorry.

But no, I definitely didn't.
In fact, I'm a merman. :^)

Not the scaliest out there but still

Well, the joke is there.

Mermaids now? Are you sure I'm not in Oz or Wonderland or something?
peccatore: (would you let him drown you)

[personal profile] peccatore 2017-11-13 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
Very sure.

If you don't mind me saying, I'm getting the impression you think "mermaids" are less monstrous than...
Well, other monsters.
Is that right?
hoestar: (o10)

[personal profile] hoestar 2017-11-13 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
To be fair I'm getting all my mermaid intel from Splash
peccatore: (what do you mean YOU'RE the boss)

[personal profile] peccatore 2017-11-13 12:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen that movie in a long time but I don't think that's a good idea.

Figures. And Tom Hanks seems so trustworthy...!

Seriously though it takes a lot to surprise me

Well, as long as you're aware that as far as monsters go, anyone can be as dangerous as anybody else.
Generally speaking.
Some people are definitely...
more predisposed.
