Test drive meme: November

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.

[True. They're at an impasse.

But Finnick's bluffing. Or charming. He prefers to do both. He's still confident that the Capital is behind it, and that means this man likely knows who he is.]


That depends on the question and the compensation.

[He deals in secrets.]

Try it in the summer. There's nothing like diving into the cool water when it's hot.

[Nanao just prefers to be charming. Jokes are more his things, opposed to outright lies, though he's not particularly against it.]

I'll pay whatever I can. Or whatever you think information is worth? All I want to know is where are we? And how did I get here? This certainly isn't Japan. And you're certainly not Japanese.

[Nanao laughs. Light and airy, as if he doesn't have a care in the world despite the situation they're in.]

I think I'll stick to just staying in the hot springs. Even in Summer, it's very relaxing.

[Finnick cocks his head, confused. He's sure they both know he's as clueless as the blonde.]

That would depend: what's Japanese?

[They have Districts, not countries.]
lunakiss: (confused oh?)

... what?

[Now Nanao looks even more confused. The man tilts his head and now turns to look at Finnick.]

Japanese... as in... where I'm from. Japan. I speak Japanese too. The language. How do you not know what that is?

[He's not sounding any different to Nanao, so... magic or this man's trolling him.]
