TEST DRIVE MEME: SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER

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.

[Well, one way or another, Doppio is in the process of slamming his phone back down on the sidewalk, frustrated that all he's getting is these spooky whispers. In fact, he still looks pretty mad when he hears the... rabbit man? When he hears the rabbit man ringing.]

...

[And now he just looks kind of confused. But hey, he's got his attention.]

What are you doing?
blackplantasia: (happy)

[What is he doing, he asks?

Edward doesn't release his ear and instead grins delightfully. His ratlike tail swishes back and forth like a wobbling cord.]
Well, it seemed like someone was giving you a hard time on the phone. I was hoping to intercept 'n get them to leave you alone.

[He declares this with a lot of confidence for someone who doesn't really know what a phone is. He's trying!!

His smile does begin to falter into some more embarrassed half-grimace as it becomes clear to him that this stranger is less than amused with his actions.]
Doesn't, ah, seem to have worked, though, does it?

[And just as quickly, Ed perks back up.] Are you alright?
epitaffio: (sumimascuse me)

[personal profile] epitaffio 2019-10-22 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I guess it didn't. [He furrows his brow.] Are you alright? You know you're not a phone, right?
blackplantasia: (owo)

[personal profile] blackplantasia 2019-10-24 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Are you sure about that?
epitaffio: (how can you say that about a baby)

[personal profile] epitaffio 2019-10-25 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

Are you going to tell me you're some kind of... phone monster? Because that's pretty weird.
blackplantasia: (owo)

There's some weird stuff here in Ryslig.

[He hops a few feet away, as pooka are wont to do.]

Happy travels, pink sir!

[And then he slips back into The Felfri Void from whence he came.]
