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.

Maybe, though I've never heard of it.

[hoestar]

Well... that's something

What about you? What's your deal?

[riveres]

I was here for a brief moment before the fog came. But all signs pointed to me becoming a minotaur.

Right now, I'm not so sure.

[hoestar]

As in the the minotaurs from Greek mythology? Does that mean that Greece exists here or did they just rip off their monsters?

[riveres]

Not exactly, some Minotaurs look a bit more like sheep or or even boars. It depends from person to person.

[hoestar]

Ha! So, they're more like off-brand minotaurs?

At least they personalize their gross mutations.

[riveres]

Anything with a hooves apparently.

...I'm guessing you aren't looking forward to the fog.

[hoestar]

Me? Where would you get that idea? Gimme all the tentacles and painful deformities you got!

[riveres]

There's no need to be rude, Sir. I don't really find becoming a monster and eating people to survive very appealing either, but that is something we must accept or die denying it.

[Now if only you were this pragmatic about other things in your life, Oscar.]

[hoestar]

[Well, at least he's cutting the bullshit.]

Hmm.

Lemme guess- it's not just something that's in the water either.

[riveres]

Not that I know of. But most of us appeared on the shore of the nearest town covered in scratches. We could have gotten infected before reached the town.

[hoestar]

No kidding? That's something else.

Anyone take a submarine out there and look for whatever did it? Do they even HAVE submarines here yet???

[riveres]

I'm not sure if they do. It might help.
