TEST DRIVE MEME: JUNE

TDM: 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.

[Oh, it gives Eleanor the willies too. She's well-trained in hiding that, though. And Zelos seems just out of place enough and super not into it and that helps a lot.

One thing he says, though, makes her pause:]


A... bender? But it is true that this is... some sort of excitement, I suppose. One that I don't understand.

[ He squints at Eleanor's mild confusion about his word choice, but files that away to ask a little bit later. ]

It's probably for one of the gods that everyone won't shut up about. Seems to fit that fanaticism M.O. that some people seem to be happy to express around here. [ Which is dumb. If you're gonna be an instigator, picking fights with people wasn't the way go about it. That was way too obvious.

Actually, you know what, he's gonna ask now, instead: ]
Do you not know what a bender is? Have you not gotten trashed over a weekend?

i just called you a loser, but fondly, that's not being mean

[personal profile] exorciseddiscretion 2020-06-15 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, there's a lot going on here and there's definitely fanaticism that needs to be looked at, among other things. But. Goodness, Zelos!!! She needs to address this n o w.]

What kind of woman do you think I am!? Isn't that a lot to assume about someone that you just barely met??

[ So... that's a no. ]

I'd never think to insinuate such a thing, my lady. Something like that is far beneath someone of a particular status such as yourself, anyway.

hmmmm

[Eleanor grimaces, because she definitely doesn't believe him. Not even for a hot second. Not with that wink.]

I wouldn't say anything is below my status, just that I won't partake in such a thing!
