Test Drive Meme: September
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 is making all the cuts and scrapes on your skin 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 on the more informative end of the scale. 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 readers saying they're lies, or pointing out good "jokes."
Then there are 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.

BILL CIPHER HERE. SURPRISED? ME TOO! I WASN'T EXACTLY EXPECTING WAKE UP IN THIS PLACE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY: YOU EITHER DIE A HERO OR LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE YOURSELF BECOME A THREE-DIMENSIONAL MEAT PUPPET!
ANYWAY I'M THINKING THIS WHOLE THING CAN BE LIKE A VACATION- A CHANCE TO LIE BACK, RELAX, AND SMELL THE BURNING EMBERS OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION! I NEED YOUR HELP making a list OF ALL THE PERSON THINGS I SHOULD EXPERIENCE BEFORE CHECKING THIS DIMENSION OFF MY TRAVEL JOURNAL. (IT'S GOT FLOWERS ON THE COVER.)
1) ASK SOMEONE IF IT'S "HOT ENOUGH FOR THEM"
2) PET A CAT
3) OPEN JUNK MAIL AND THEN GO "GRR, WHY DID I OPEN THIS???"
4) COMPLAIN ABOUT SORE MUSCLES
5) ARGUE ABOUT WHETHER "MOIST" IS THE MOST DISGUSTING WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (IT ISN'T)
6) LICK A BATTERY
7) YIELD TO A CARELESS DRIVER (WHOA, STAY IN YOUR LANE PAL)
8) PANIC AT A SOCIAL OCCASION BECAUSE I CAN'T REMEMBER WHETHER I TURNED OFF MY OVEN, THEY'LL NEVER RETURN MY SECURITY DEPOSIT IF EVERYTHING'S ON FIRE!!!
9) SWING AROUND A GOLF CLUB DURING A LIGHTNING STORM JUST TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
10) EXISTENTIAL DREAD
WHAT AM I MISSING, GUYS? MY ENTERTAINMENT DEPENDS ON YOU! I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT I'D GET UP TO UNSUPERVISED!!!

II. Bavan
[If you're wandering around Bavan, you might see a small, strange boy. His eyes are both jaundiced and bloodshot, bright red lines spidering across a sea of yellow. His arms hang awkwardly, rigidly bent at 90 degree angles. He stares everything a little too long. He blinks one eye at a time.
At any given time, you might find him:
A) Lying flat at the bottom of a public fountain, holding his breath. His eyes are wide open.
B) Attempting to convince a group of humans to eat monsters before they eat them. "They'll never seen it coming!"
C) Trying (and failing) to twirl a cane with one arm.
As the week progresses, however, he grows more ragged and exhausted. You might find him passed out in an alleyway. Or a doorway. Or on the roof of a car. Whatever, he's not picky. ]
III. Wildcard
[Whatever you'd like! You can find me on plurk at
<CCC-REDHORSE>
You have to have a birthday, if you didn't have one.
I don't know, maybe whatever you were before had them. I had to pick one though, and you get to eat a lot of good things at birthdays, so it's definitely something you should have on your list.
I can make the lightning storm if you want, too. [REIRA NO YOU LEARNED ABOUT THIS IN SCIENCE]
<BILLCIPHER>
BUT TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR LIGHTNING POWERS, C-SQUARED. IS THAT ONE OF THOSE FANCY PERKS YOU GOT FROM THE FOG GOD?

lmfao...that's a wrap
<C_137> (network prompt)
That's a pretty good list of people things, Bill. But if you're looking for people things you can do HERE, here's what I've got
Go to the Lucky 38 and get Boone to teach you CARAVAN. Trust me, it's awesome
Light some stuff on fire
Go to the alley and eat a whole bunch of rats
Check out VANDARE! They have a whole building made of someone's flesh and some pretty good bars
That's about it, Bill. Everything I've seen in this dimension sucks gangrenous balls, but have fun with the existential dread.

iib
Is that really so wise? [ She smiles, clasping her hands together and addressing this weirdo like there aren't like six regular humans standing nearby. ] Sorry to interrupt! I'm merely concerned. Such a frail child might be the first one they devour, you know?
Re: iib
(Which means that it's sideways. And upside-down. He's holding his head sideways and upside-down.)]
Re-lax, kid! [Weird decision to call another kid "kid," but okay.] I've got it handled!
[The blood is starting to pool in his head in earnest, so he straightens his position with a small stumble.]
Woo! What a rush! Anyways, none of you nice folks would ever hurt a sweet, innocent child, would you?
[The crowd of humans is uncomfortable and silent. Some of them shake their heads. No...?]
See! What did I tell ya?
[He makes eye contact with Rin before deliberately squeezing both of his eyes shut. Then opening them again.]
Wink!
Bavan
[Here's a strange, older fellow. Tall and lean, with an effimite look to him in spite of the militaristic uniform and the strange facial mask. At the very least, he's much less awkward and much more groomed.]
If what the monsters have told me is correct, they're much stronger than the average human. Plus, their features make them more capable of tearing into human flesh than the other way around. What could a human being possibly have that could ward off a beast?
no subject
Where's your imagination, pal? Don't tell me you spent it all making that outfit!
[Heh.]

2A
[Perhaps it's just this kid. Virgil stops and stares at the tween lying in the fountain and wonders, maybe, if it's some kind of very realistic early Halloween mannequin. It only takes a few seconds of concerned onlooking to reach down and pick Bill up by one sleeve, concerned in case this is a not-yet-bloated corpse.]
no subject
But the second his head is above water, he gasps, taking in large gulps of the air he's been missing. He cackles and breathes at the same time, squirming in Virgil's grasp.]

bavan
But is this one alive or dead? ]
My, my. A corpse? [ His body hovers over the young one's -- head tilted so his ear is turned down towards him. ] No. Alive. [ He drops his hand to lightly pet his hair. ] Poor thing, poor thing. Nowhere to sleep? Nowhere to eat? I should acquire some food.
No, I shall acquire some food. Curry, perhaps? [ A hysterical fit of giggles rushes after his words. Yes, it's always nice to be able to watch over someone. ]
no subject
H-Hah...?
[But he's not entirely awake. It still feels better to keep his eyes shut than open, and he still can't be bothered to untangle his thoughts. ]

[ Even typing it grosses her out? ]
<BILLCIPHER>
II-c
That's why she's got her hand on her hip, watching this dumb kid try to twirl a cane. She could probably go around him, but seriously.]
Um... Could you not?
[She asks, simply, one white browspot raised.]
no subject
Then it flips back into a smile.]
Sure, toots!
[He readjusts his grip on the cane and takes several steps backwards. After he moves, he doesn't say anything. He just continues to watch her. Expectantly. Smiling.
His grin is so wide that you can practically count his teeth.]

2C
But there is something really weird about this kid. Not only that, but he looks really stupid trying to twirl that cane.
She comes prancing up to the boy in her tap shoes, click-clack. But her exuberance with which she taps-taps-taps is not matched with her haughty tone.]
What are you doing?
no subject
What does it look like, kid? I'm trying to get a handle on this stupid physical body.
[He leans on his cane with just a little too much weight. It shifts under him, and he gives a small yelp before righting himself.]
