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.

It's not that they weren't fun, I just didn't really... [ live the kind of life that contributed itself to celebrating holidays.

You know what, though? That's really depressing. Let's not go there. Rey plasters a smile on her face. ]


I'm sure I'll love the new ones, though.

[same hat rey

That's apparently good enough for Reira though, who beams.
] Yeah!

A lot of people don't like this place, but there's good things too! [Which is to say, that's the spirit? Sort of?

Hoo boy.
]
friendpatine: (don't want to hear about it)

[personal profile] friendpatine 2020-02-09 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? Good things like what?

[ Because so far, being cut off from the Force like this is a big strike in the Negatives column. ]
soft_focus: (extra 07)

Well I got to learn about movies, [she starts, nodding rather confidently about it.] And holidays, and things.

And pools, and skating... [...she's just going to. Keep listing everything, if she's not stopped.]
friendpatine: (all the words are gonna bleed from me)

[personal profile] friendpatine 2020-02-10 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Rey lets Reira go on listing good things perhaps a bit longer than any other adult might. She knows when she was Reira's age, she could have done with both more good things in her life, and also someone who would listen to her talk about them.

When she does eventually stop her, it's with a gentle hand on her shoulder. ]


Wow, that is a lot. I suppose this place isn't so bad after all.
soft_focus: (Extra29)

[personal profile] soft_focus 2020-02-10 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Reira is beaming quite happily, suffice to say.] Yeah!!

[...Even if it does fade with a little more of a grimness to it.] ...There's definitely bad things, but...I got to learn about all of those things here, not at 'home'. And I met a lot of nicer people here too- so even if there's a lot of bad here, make sure to find some good things for you too!
friendpatine: (faithful to you)

[personal profile] friendpatine 2020-02-10 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Rey notes the fading of the smile, but keeps hers firmly in place to counter it. ]

I'll be sure to do that. Thank you.
