JANUARY/FEBRUARY TEST DRIVE

TDM: JANUARY/FEBRUARY

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.

Yeah. That's capitalism for you.

[Bethan wrinkles her nose, shoving the card back into her pocket.]

You could always find a club than needs a bouncer or something.
hevenly: (:|?)

[ Angela gives Bethan a blank, uncomprehending look, moving to offer her a hand to help her stand, should she choose to take it. ]

A club that needs a what?
throughavisordarkly: (A wishing well men call the world)

[personal profile] throughavisordarkly 2020-02-04 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Bethan looks at the hand, then ignores it in favour of steadying herself against the nearby shelf as she stands.]

A bouncer.

You know, someone who keeps people out if they're not meant to be there. You don't have those in your bizarro world?
hevenly: (red)

[personal profile] hevenly 2020-02-04 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. An enforcer. Someone to strongarm trespassers. Yes, she would certainly be well suited to that sort of work. ]

I see. I do not frequent clubs, so I would not know. I have worked as security before, on my brother's presidential campaign.

[ That's right. Loki ran for president. It was weird for everyone involved. We just don't talk about it. ]
throughavisordarkly: (You whom I cannot betray)

[personal profile] throughavisordarkly 2020-02-05 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
See? You got a resume and everything.

I'm not big on clubs, either, but my dad used to do that kinda shit, it's pretty easy money.
hevenly: (hungry)

[personal profile] hevenly 2020-02-06 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. I shall keep that in mind. Perhaps soon I will earn enough to repay this man for his aid.

[ Speaking of the store owner, he seems all too keen to kick these two back out on the street and lock up for the night. Angela nods her thanks to him one last time, then turns to Bethan. ]

Are you well enough to leave?
