TEST DRIVE MEME: SEPTEMBER
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
[Yuya was being as truthful as he could right now.]
The 'fog god' just takes you here and does whatever she wants with you and your soul... Apparently I've been here before, but I don't remember it...
[It was the whole reason he had gotten into a fight with Reira. He was him and not him. If he had identity issues before, he definitely had them now.
He pulled again, dragging the man just a bit further before continuing.]
Y-you don't even get a say in the matter... [He grimaced and continued.] She's no god...
no subject
"I won't let myself be a toy for anyone!"
no subject
I don't want to be either... I refuse the fog gods gifts, she's no god!
[Looks like the boy has a grudge against god as well.]
no subject
"I'm going to choose my own destiny from now on! I won't let neither god nor machine control me. I will make my own path and follow it!"
[But if he was going to do that... the first thing he had to do was make a choice between living or dying. And if it was that god's will that he be reborn again and again after each death, then he would reject it.]
"I decided. I'm going to live."
[With shaky steps, Oswald got up off of the sand-- abet using the child for balance at the same time. He leaned on the boy and put a hand to his stomach to stop from bleeding any further.]
"Alright kid. I'll go with you."
no subject
Th-that's good! Um, I'll make sure you get out of this okay. [He wasn't exactly sure what else to say... Oh right, his name.] Oh, my name's Yuya, by the way...
no subject
[Oswald muttered, feeling the words pass his lips.]
"I suppose I should tell you my name too. I'm Oswald... Oswald Mandus."
no subject
Nice to meet ya! Your name is kinda funny though, Osu... Ozzwar- er, never mind.
[There's no time for this. Yuya shakes his head and then goes to help up the man.]
no subject
[Yuya certainly wasn't a European name. He could only wonder what nationality this child was. But there wasn't time to worry about that. He could ask about that later.]
"But I appreciate the help regardless."
