TEST DRIVE MEME: MAY/JUNE
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.

[Marco frowns. As much as he enjoys talking to scientifically-minded folk, the more this edges into God Talk, the more uncertain he'll be about his own reliability.]
no subject
[Because uhhh that honestly sounds kind of fascinating. One can become a "god" here, eh?]
no subject
His father... He took power from that other god and forced his own son to take it.
no subject
[Just kinda gonna skip over the bad part there because, uh, interesting.
Sounds like they need more of the other "god"'s power.]
no subject
[This conversation is dipping into ever more uncertain territory.]
no subject
[Ah, a shame these people had to wait this long until Dr. Robotnik came to town, but it's fine, he's here now!]
no subject
I'm sorry, what-- What exactly are you proposing?
no subject
[Grinning widely (and wildly), despite looking like he's in no condition to do anything, he crosses his arms.]
The god that's forcing us to stay here, yes? We just harness all of its power, utilize it to get us home. Why work with only some of it when you can work with all of it? It's simple, really. I just need to...
[He lifts up a hand, presses a few buttons on a glove, and... nothing.]
Shit.
no subject
The Fog God probably disabled your, ah... glove?
no subject
Oh, this? This is personal.
[It was already personal, but it's even more personal now.]
Nobody messes with my technology. NOBODY.
no subject
[As much as he dislikes the Fog God, uh, he's REALLY not supposed to incite confrontations.]
no subject
Still personal!
[This means WAR.]
I don't have any of my machines, the prototype's lost, and nobody's managed to get the hell out of here before I showed up. Could it get any worse?
no subject
You, uh... I should add... you will start turning into a monster within a month.
no subject
Funny! Can't say I've heard that one before.
no subject
The same thing happened to me.
no subject
...I thought you just looked like that.
[WELL, EITHER WAY.]
I'll just have to avoid it.
no subject
I'm afraid you can't.
no subject
[He tilts his head, holding his hands out to his sides.]
You really think you can tell the greatest scientific mind in the world that he can't avoid something so simple?
no subject
Well, if it's so simple, I'll be looking forward to seeing your breakthroughs, Doctor.
no subject
Don't expect to wait too long, I should have this figured out in no time. You're damn lucky I ended up here.
