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.

[Playful and flirty is a great way to approach someone, as far as Taako's concerned. Make 'em think you're superficial, dumb, and easy to manipulate- then turn it around when you need it and no one suspects you. So Taako's grin grows with Fran's, crossing his arms with a hip cocked like he's got all the confidence in the world.]

Oh babe, you're basin' your whole experience off the free trial. Please. You give me some good stuff maybe you can see all the premium features on this biz.

[He's just under 6 feet and absolutely in heeled boots, so he's not short, but by monster standards... well, who knows.]

Besides, gotta set your expectations so I can blow 'em away. You're lucky, my guy. You coulda eaten the best here and then you would've really missed out. I'm a catch.

[Well, his Kelpie transformation added a half a foot to this horned bundle of smiles and charm... Which brought him up to a whole whopping 5'6"... Look, hush.]

Is that soooo? Well... Perhaps you'd be willing to take me up on the offer your imposter didnt~

[One hand shifts up, gently tapping a finger over his chin with that wry little smile. It's honestly hard to tell who's enjoying this more, now.]

Well, consider them set rather high there, hun~ Now how about we get ourself off this beach? You look a little washed up at the moment~
