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 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.

[Thank god there's someone reasonable on this forsaken island. None of that stupid pacifist garbage. This is REAL warrior spirit.]

We'll see won-- [Notices she's doing some weird thing with her arm like she was pulling out a weapon.] What. What was that?

Nevermind.

[Tyl charges ahead. He wishes he had his rocket arms, but you know what? He has the next best thing: throwing. Tyl removes one of his prosthetic arms, simply Chucking it at the fish as he bellows.]

[fuhuhuhuhu]

WOAH!

[Undyne jumps to the side, the arm just barely missing her head. A confident smirk appears on her face as she rolls on the sand to try and grab the fallen prosthetic.]

You're going to have to try better than that.

[She wields the thing in both hands. She still has to deal with Tyl charging at her, and she knows it. So, she winds up a hit by holding it like a baseball bat and prepares to strike as soon as he's in range. She's fought monsters bigger than this guy--she's confident she can take him!]

[tubedad]

[She might be right there, tiny robot ninjas consistently beat him up.

The arm was a long shot (literally), so he has to make do with the fact he's fighting one handed.]

You haven't even seen me on half effort.

[Tyl opts for flipping in the air, using his remaining arm to deliver an elbow drop in Undyne's direction.]

[fuhuhuhuhu]

[Let's hope that she's at an advantage while she's still in possession of the weird goblin dude's arm. Of course, she...didn't expect him to flip into the air. A smirk appears to be fixed upon her face as she plants the arm in the sand and does a forward roll to avoid his attack. Let's hope he gets distracted trying to pull that out.]

HALF effort?! You hardly look like you're trying to hit me!!! FIGHT ME LIKE YOU MEAN IT, DAMMIT!!!

[She's absolutely enjoying this. She scrambles to her feet and, letting out a roar of fury, sends a lunging kick in the other monster's direction.]
