TEST DRIVE MEME: 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
We're just two kids... On a beach.
[Don't worry, Roll isn't as good at this as she likes to think she is but! Their words seem to get through to the local, or maybe he just doesn't want to be known as the dude who shot a bunch of kids, as he grumbles something insultingly rude and goes to leave the two of them where they stand.
Yeah, he's not going to help them out at all. What an asshole.
Roll on the other hand is letting out a sigh of relief before turning to face Josuke, or like his stomach. (Girl is like five feet tall, yo.) Her expression is one that is stern and pretty much says that the teenager is in trouble.]
That was pointlessly dangerous of you, mister!
no subject
[Okay. Asshole walking away. That's fine. At least he's not hurting them. He looks down, scratching the back of his neck.]
It was? Because you were in some pretty big trouble there, kid...didn't want you to get hurt, y'know? I mean, yeah, I might've, but I am the adult here.
[Just...barely. He's actually 23 at this point in time but it's not like many people think that, seeing him.]
It was also pretty dangerous of you to run in front of me, y'know?
no subject
I've got rules to follow, and I'm not a kid!
[Puffing out her cheeks, probably the most childish thing she could do right now.]
Also, I'm a robot, and I've been shot by much worst than a shotgun.
no subject
[...Okay, he can't help but laugh a little.]
You kiiiiiinda look like a kid. Also, uh...you don't look robot-y. At all.
[He crouches down, poking at her arm.]
Feels human to me.
no subject
I'm a household robot, so I'm not made to be all clanky and armoured like an industrial or a combat robot!
And you don't look much like any adults I know either.
no subject
I guess that makes sense, but jeez. They make household robots ready to stand gunfire? Whose kind of house are you hanging out in--and you should probably also not hang out there.
And yeah, that's because I'm a cool adult! Everyone back home knows that. If I didn't have my great sense of style, I'd be lost.
[He says, blowing a bit of hair out of his face. He's gotta re-style his pompadour when he gets the opportunity...]
Anyway--no chance you've got, like, a GPS, Robot-chan? Might help us out right now, if you can figure out where we are.
no subject
[She huffs as if that makes the most sense of all. And she also huffs again at him calling himself a cool adult, and calling her robot-chan.]
It's Roll, and I have about as much of an idea of where we are as you do.
no subject
[He's talking about this nephew of his like he's a little boy and not an imposing Marine Biologist who is older than he is.
He scratches behind his head, thinking it over.]
Okay, Roll. I'm Josuke, by the way. Maybe we should try to find out together? Strength in numbers and all that.
no subject
Well, you did try and help me out so I don't see why we shouldn't work together, Mister Josuke. Although I don't know if we should go the same way as that man...
