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.

[Any other day and Clover would be so very grossed out by her behavior, but she was just so hungry. And the blood and the warmth it was all just too much to pass up. The only down side was that whoever killed the human was long gone something that had her overly large ears drooping a bit despite the pleasant meal.

At least until she hears a voice. Let it never be said that she doesn't appreciate company. Especially these days. Her brother would be better, but at least it isn't either of the Kurashiki siblings or lovesick Junpei. She might not have been the most outgoing person, but she definitely enjoyed company.

Not that it stops her from responding with sarcasm.]

You could just try catching your own, you know? I hear others do it all the time. Especially for things so quick to go like souls.

[Nanao may be a lich but he naturally is drawn to company. A rather charming smile is present on his face as he floats near the feasting Pooka]

I can't be bothered killing people. They put up such a struggle. [He's fine with dead bodies but... he dislikes the idea of murder, even if he doesn't actually kill people with his feeding method] I find it better to either hunt as a group or just lurk around for souls. I suppose I'll have to search for some later.

Heh... do you usually scrounge around for leftovers too, miss?
