TDM: 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.

[ Look, Tim. He wasn't a monsterfucker, okay? In fact, Laios put up his hands. 'Not on the market'? Did that mean Tim was seeing someone? Probably another minotaur, right? Then again, there really didn't seem to be many of them around... ]

Oh, no, not like that! I just wanted to count your nipples.

[ It was fine. It was just a Laios thing. Just like do a dude a solid and let him count your nips Tim. ]

[blap_blap]

I feel like we're having two really different conversations right now.

[Tim lost control of this conversation at some point, and he wasn't exactly sure where but this sure was a train derailment right here. Just an absolute wreckage of a normal human interaction. Or, well, human-monster interaction, whatever.]

I, why? Why would you want to do that? Why is that a thing that you'd ask a person? [He regret ever stopping to try to help this guy. What the fuck? What the fuck????] Do you ask everybody how, how many nipples they have?

[minotaurmilker]

Of course not. [ C'mon Tim, everyone knew humans only had two nip nops, what would be the point of that? Answer: none.

Humans were boring. Boring nip nops. ]

But monsters like minotaurs have some humanoid features and some bovine parts. For instance, did you know female minotaurs have four teats, like a cow? I was just wondering if the same was true for males.

[ God he sounded so cheerful and low-key excited about this, like this was a learning opportunity and why wouldn't Tim want to get on this curiosity voyage??

There was no one from his party to fucking sTOP him either. ]

[blap_blap]

[That's not true, some people had extra nip nops. It was a thing, they were called accessory nipples or something, expand your horizons, Laios!!]

[Tim, however, had not experienced such a creeping existential dread as he did the moment that Laios informed him that minotaur, at least in his weirdly extensive experience, had four tits. Like a cow. And now Tim couldn't get the question out of his head-- had Athena had four tits? Would she eventually have had four tits? What did you do with four tits, were there bras out there for that? Did you just Suffer? Would Athena absolutely destroy his ass for thinking about any of this?]

[Only one of those questions had a definitive answer. The last one, and it was yes.]

I. I don't. I don't think it works that way here? God, I hope it doesn't. [Those poor lady minotaur. That just sounded uncomfortable.] I'm not. It's. This is a really invasive question?

[Tim needs an adult.]
