TEST DRIVE MEME: SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER
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.
no subject
Uh, not sure if you've heard, but that's how people, y'know, become experts.
[Geez, if she would stop being so nice to him, he'd make fun of her more for it, but...really? More people like him? That is literally the last thing anyone else would ask for, it's like this chick's been living in a tower her whole life-]
For example, I've been here a long ass time, so I'm an expert on what a bunch of shit this planet is. [Just to emphasize his point, he daintily places a hand on his chest. Dandy's all set to whine about her newfound predicament, but...that smile. She's like a puppy, the kind of puppy dumped on a hell planet who doesn't realize the dangers its in, but everything's fine because it's a puppy. It breaks his heart, he...he just can't do it.] ...But I'm also getting sick of tellin' people the worst news of their life, so let's just leave it at that.
no subject
But this still isn't helpful. Planet? What??? She knows of stars and planets but saying 'planet' is weird when he could've just said country or something.]
Wait, you said planet... what do you mean by that?
no subject
Planet. Like what you're standin' on. [He lightly stomps his foot, as if she couldn't figure it out on her own.] This ain't your planet, and trust me, you don't want it to be.
The tech here sucks too, so no one can get off, either. Sit back, relax, and I hope you like animals.
no subject
[But at the mention of animals:]
Oh, but I love animals! My best friend is this little chameleon named Pascal... you haven't seen anything like him, right? I need to know if he's safe.
no subject
[So somehow that means...no. He hasn't seen him.]
Look, I don't really like being the guy to freak people out, I just wanted hair care tips dammit, but bare with me here. Did anyone tell ya why people go around pointin' guns at people like you yet?
no subject
Not really, though. I've been more lost than anything.
