Test Drive Meme: September

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.

Surely a girl like Roxy will have her uses. Lucrezia knows she's in for a power grab here, but she's only just arrived. It will take time to learn about the power structures here and suss out what the best route to total domination would be. Certainly it starts by being more than a mere human.

It's a huge inconvenience and extremely uncomfortable that she doesn't feel the Spark, here. So she will need to gain and rely on some other form of superiority until she can leave again and return to Europa, or to her priestesses.

"Aren't you sweet?" Roxy's comment about taking care of herself is not mentioned, but not forgotten. So she is strong. Or perhaps in desperate need for a parental figure. Lucrezia will figure out which. She gives Roxy a little pinch on the cheek. "I'm Lucrezia Mongfish."
invisiblepumpkin: (and its here right in front of u)

Roxy takes the pinched cheek with a confused expression, wondering if maybe Lucrezia was being patronizing there. Though for now, she'd just act as if that wasn't the case. The confused 'what the fuck' expression quickly smooths over into something more content. An easygoing smile.

"Uh, yeah. Nice to meet you then, Lucrezia ma'am." Already, nicknames were going through her head, but then the ma'am slipped in and she just resolved to roll with it until suitable nickname opportunities arose.

"You got anything planned that you wanna do before or after monsterification?" As it was, Roxy was going to do a bit of shopping today before she'd bumped into Lu, now that she's got the coins and had dropped off some at the museum because, whoopsie, she hadn't gotten around to paying for those stolen gift shop items because of a certain forest getting cranky.
waspyourface: (Is that how you plan to change my mind)

[personal profile] waspyourface 2018-10-28 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Roxy's expression doesn't faze Lucrezia. She doesn't take much stock of it, really. She's confident in her read on the girl and the fact that she won't upset her with the gesture.

She chuckles delightedly, then taps at her lips with a finger as she looks up thoughtfully. "Well I suppose that would depend on what kind of monster I become, hmm? That could change so much."

A smile is offered to Roxy, and Lucrezia reaches to gently rest her fingertips on her elbow, expecting Roxy to lift her arm and escort her. "Shall we walk? I would love to see more of this place."
invisiblepumpkin: (n u show off ur light)

Roxy does indeed lift her arm, “Yes. I think we shall.” She grins, setting out to show Lucretia some of the places she’s seen while wandering Bavan’s streets. Among the shops and restaurants are places she’s heard of and seen, for monsters, but has yet to actually visit. And. Of course. There’s the Museum.
waspyourface: (Aww cutie)

[personal profile] waspyourface 2018-11-03 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, good girl. Lucrezia is pleased, and walks along with swaying hips. She listens as well as Lucrezia can ever be expected to, because she does want to collect information. She wants to learn the lay of the land, and keep note of the good eateries. Even if she might be eating people soon, nobody will deny her a proper spread.

Her attention does start to wane a little... but the Museum brings her right back. "How charming! What sorts of exhibits do they carry? Is there an in-house laboratory?"
invisiblepumpkin: (2 the west if u want 2)

[Roxy gave the woman a look as if to convey 'oh yeah that'd be nice but...' without words.]

There's exhibits of the homes 'verses of a lot of the new peeps, and even some others who've been here a while, I think, that got caught up in it when it formed. Because of course it wasn't there since forever and it just popped up overnight like thanks Fog Goddess you've got a real flair for the dramatics I see. But the stuff in all of 'em are fake, and last time I was in there I was more busy trying to get me and other people out... huh. No harm in going in there I guess to look over the models or if there are any blueprints for stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if there was something like that in one of 'em. But a working lab I don't think so. Unless something's happened between then and now that is. Which is entirely possible I mean I was incoherent for like, part of the time I've been here and busy the rest.

Also from what I've seen so far, nothing is ever really dull around here. Not for long, at least.

[Wow, she's chatty.]

Ah, not the kind of museum she expected, then. That's a disappointment. Lucrezia frowns up at the building as if to scold it for disappointing her.

She does glaze over a bit as Roxy continues to talk, but something does get through to her.

"You said everything in there is fake? What do you mean?" Would there be displays of things like her machines from home, but just... useless models? Now that really is rude.
invisiblepumpkin: (that we kept ourselves alive)

[personal profile] invisiblepumpkin 2018-11-11 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well, Roxy did notice the shift in mood at her rambling. She resolves to try and not do it as much around her, "Fake like it won't work. At least not as intended. Might be a convincing replica that only has whatever lights and sounds, if it makes 'em." She doesn't mention how her laptop had been one she'd found in her exhibit fully functional because it appeared to be the exception to the rule.
waspyourface: (FUCK U)

[personal profile] waspyourface 2018-11-18 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
All for the better. Lucrezia would have no basis of understanding for a laptop, and that's probably not a rabbit hole either one of them wants to jump down right this moment. Still, it leaves Lucrezia unhappy.

"What a tease, to leave us with such." She glares at the building as if that would have any affect at all. Though... she supposes it may have some uses. "Then all it would be good for is having some idea what everyone else is working with..." She says, mostly to herself.
