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.

[Flug merely blinks as it takes him a moment to realize he is the one being addressed.]

"Oh I'm not.."

['From around here' was going to the end of that sentence, until the Scientist thinks long and hard about the implication of why he was singled out. Most people don't waltz around attempting to cover every inch of skin, after all.]

"I'm still human."

[Which also doesn't answer the question.]

"..I did hear a human village isn't too um, far from here? You should still be passable enough to get in. "

[Yeah, see, people tend to ask you things in a monster world when someone's strolling around with a literal bag over their head. Doesn't make you look sneaky when these monster-fearing folk roll up at all. Taako just raises an eyebrow, trying to get a read on this guy or if he's about to take him for a fuckin' ride.]

Passable? My dude, anyone should be hype as fuck to see me. I mean look at me, my guy. Really look.

[He's just gonna get a little up close and personal to that face now, hoping for a peek under that bag to some kind of face.]

Why aren't you there if it's so great, huh?

[In response to Taako getting up close and personal, Flug just leans further and further out of reach, like some kind of apprehensive limbo champion. Flug can only forlornly stares in lieu of a response. What is he looking for exactly? Should anyone 'be hype as fuck' to see that guy? Yes?? No?? What does he say!?]

"I-- I simply have no time to waste on things like eating."

[So there!]

"You-- you had your question and I answered it."

[See, but he loves this kind of thing. This guy may have a bag over his head but he's displaying his emotional cues loud and clear. He can work with this. He can totally work with this.]

On things like eating? So you don't need it to like, survive? Tell me if you figured out something wacky not to eat, because as a chef, that kinda ruins my business model here. You understand. Don't wanna lose out on my own trade.

[He's going to use all the height he has to continue to get closer, too. No escape! No escape!]
