TDM: 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.

Only if they're jerks. But you don't really have to listen to those, anyway.

[Still smiling, Marco holds out a hand for her to shake. It's as red as most of his body, but unlike his body, it's also mechanical.]

I'm Marco, by the way. You just got here, didn't you? [That's when his smile turns melancholic.] I'm sorry.

[meowbel]

That's a good point. Jerks will always be mean no matter what.

[Despite her words, she doesn't sound too convinced. He was right people were going to be mean regardless. It's just difficult knowing exactly what she was going to change into.

But when she saw his hand out, she had to give a small smile]

I'm Mabel a- [And that's when she saw his hand.] Oh my gosh, are you part robot too!?

i'm sorry i was slow to tag this dsgdfh SHOULD WE KEEP GOING UNITL THE INTRO LOG IS UP OR

[peccatore]

Oh, er... Not exactly. That's just a prosthetic.

[A very good one, with tactile sensation and everything, but... Still a fake.]

It's fine and I'm good either way! I can backtag into forever.

[meowbel]

But still! It's not everyday you get to see someone with an arm like that! From now on, I officially dub you as....!

[Wait for it!]

A robot fish! [It sounded cooler in her mind, okay?]

it may be better to wrap this soon for the sake of my poor inbox but I *WILL* tag you in arrivals

[peccatore]

[It's an attempt! One he appreciates, if his smile of endearment is any indication.]

Really, Marco is fine, but if you insist...
