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.
no subject
My, those are some big words for someone who's no better off right now.
[ She laughs, pressing more of her weight on the man's chest. ] It's got nothing to do with strength, it's the fact that he's insulted me. I just can't let this slight go unpunished, you know? Someone's gotta teach these people a lesson, right~?
no subject
[... And that's that. Marnie's not seeing the insult, here.]
no subject
[ She aggressively groans, putting her hands to her face. For Goddess' sake, did no one here understand manners? ]
You know what? Never mind. [ She moves her leg off the man, opting to kick him in the side to get him to leave. ] I'm not even hungry anymore. Happy now?
no subject
Considering she just came to this man's aid?
Surely she doesn't like that he was just kicked like that -]
Yeah, I'm happy.
[Hey, his hospital bills aren't her issue; he's alive, that's probably all that matters.]
I know it's not really my place to say this, but it must be exhaustin' to be insulted like this all the time.
Does it help at all? Crushin' a man to death?
no subject
I mean, it helps me vent a lot of stress, personally. And besides, it's less of being insulted and much more of making sure these weaklings learn their place.
He's probably gonna get eaten later on, anyway, why make him wait any longer than he needs to? ♡
no subject
[Not even Marnie herself is sure if she means the classic or the modern definition of the word.]
I can't say I understand how the etiquette around bein' a monster works, but I don't know... I still feel like it's not worth the time goin' after someone who can't even give you a tenth of the fight you've got in you.
If you're so concerned 'bout teachin' people a lesson, why wouldn't you want to go after the bigger guys?
