TDM: OCTOBER

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.

[ Wow, for such a brightly dressed kid, she's got kind of a cynical view on things.

But then, Josuke's not exactly one to talk. ]

Yeah... People'll do all sorts of crazy stuff if you don't watch 'em. Guess I oughta know better.

Nah, it's okay! I've seen a bunch of weird things before so I'm use to the cray-cray!

[She said before swirling her finger around her head!]

And with how things are here, I definitely wouldn't be surprised if someone had eaten human flesh before!

[ Okay, color him... intrigued. ]

"With how things are here?" Just how are things here? I gotta say, I mean... I'm new here but anyplace where you just wake up with no memory of how you got there has got to have something weird going on behind the scenes, you know?

You're telling me and I should know! I come from a place where I see vampires, gnomes and the weird cyclops floating on by!

[She said with a pout]

But trust me, it's gonna get even weirder when gotta deal with turning into a monster.

Ehh...

[ That was a lot of pretty weird stuff. Josuke's home has a bunch of weird stuff too: ghosts and aliens and Stand powers, and he's pretty sure Jotaro and the old man mentioned vampires, but...

He's more concerned with the next part of what she says. ]

Sorry, uh. What? I'm not going to turn into a monster.

Wait, no one told you yet?

[That's when Mabel just stared at him with big eyes. Oh dear, should she really be the one to tell him? Does she want to bring out the ugly stick?

Quick, think of something! Don't just stand there and say nothing!]

Uh...yeah, of course you're not! Those things are total nonsense, am I right? [And here, we see Mabel's poor attempt at lying!]

[ Oh...kay... Josuke knows a cover up when he hears one. There's obviously something she's not telling him. ]

I mean, they are, but... No one's told me what yet?

[ Jeez, he's just trying to get a straight answer around here. How hard can that be? ]

[She doesn't want to be the bearer of bad news here! The last thing she wants is to bring someone down!]

Oh you know, those people are always saying stuff like turning monsters and being all spooky like! Don't pay attention to them, they're just being weird!

[Please don't let her to be the one to tell him!}

[ Uh...huh... ]

No offense, but I only see one person acting weird here, and it ain't me.

[ He does not get good vibes in this place at all. ]

Weird? I'm sure there's a bunch of others acting like that around here so you really don't need to mind them at all!

Just act like your normal self and everything will be a-okay!

[Error: Irreparable invalid markup ('<small[nevermind>') in entry. Owner must fix manually. Raw contents below.]

Weird? I'm sure there's a bunch of others acting like that around here so you really don't need to mind them at all!

Just act like your normal self and everything will be a-okay!

<small[Nevermind that she's eventually going to have to break it to him somehow. The problem is just for how much longer...!]</small>

Right. [ She reminds him of Koichi when he's desperately trying to act like nothing is wrong when something is clearly very wrong.

But oh well. Nothing he can do about it. ]

Well, right about now my normal self would be going to school. But... you get a pass to play hooky if you've been kidnapped, right? I think that's only fair.

Of course! I know I should be in school too but can't go if I'm stuck here!

[She said with a nervous laughter before looking at the ground]

But at least you don't have to worry about sleeping too late or dealing with any weird changes...!

[ That laughter is really telling. Okay? He's not stupid like Okuyasu. He can tell when something's not on the level. ]

What kind of weird changes would I even be worrying about?

[Okay, you know what? There was only so much Mabel could handle and the more she lies? The more she feels guilty!

With that, she gave a big loud groan!]

Ugh, I can't take it anymore! You're going to turn into a monster! [She said before putting her arms up in the air!]

You're gonna have an extra head and turn all gross as people wonder why you smell bad too! [Not helping, Mabel]

[ ........... ]

I am not going to smell bad.

[ Turning into a monster is one thing... One very big, very strange and scary thing. But easy enough to accept; he's seen the many monster-like people walking around this city ever since he got here.

But poor hygiene?

That's a bridge too far. ]

You never know! I mean, you could probably turn into some kind of weird slime monster!

[And that was what sucked the most!]

It's playing Russian roulette except you don't have to worry about screaming for your life!

Even slime monsters have to take a shower, don't they? Or-or a bath? There's got to be a way slime keeps clean!

[ Pretty sure he's already screaming for his life, here. ]

I don't know but either way, I'm really hoping you don't get it! Nobody wants to turn into a slime monster! Who even does?

[She's just shuddering at the thought!]
