TDM: JULY/AUGUST
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 in a dark ditch, the sky cloudy overhead. Dirt cakes into your cuts and scrapes. The air is clammy and damp, and it smells like rain.
You’re in a grave. And when you sit up to inspect the tombstone marking your spot, it has your name on it. Maybe the graves next to you have the names of familiar friends, family, acquaintances. Not all of them are open like yours are. RIP.
There’s a light dancing in the distance, and you hear the jingle-jangle of heavy keys, or worse still, the gravekeeper’s massive pitchfork or shovel. If you're lucky, you can sneak out beyond his notice, and get out alone. If not - you might find yourself on the wrong end of a shovel’s swing, or worse yet, tripping headfirst in front of a pair of monstrous eyes.
SCENARIO TWO
You've stumbled your way out of the graveyard, and you're promptly besieged by the overwhelming sights and sounds of the city. Cars honk at you to get out of the street, and strangers try not to look in your direction for too long. They see your dirty clothes and scraped faces, and pretend to busy themselves with something else. Rarely, a look of pity is cast your way.
But some people try to reach out. Enterprising citizens and those that hope to curry favor with the newcomers pass out new clothes and bundles of food, asking if you have a place to stay the night, wondering about the details of the world you came from. Some are even handing out pamphlets which vary in how helpful they are--"What To Expect When You're Expecting (To Turn Into A Monster)", "Wolpertinger: Fact or Fiction?", "100% ACCURATE MONSTER QUIZ ASSESSMENT: GUARANTEED TO PREDICT YOUR MONSTER!", and "Ryslig Law In A Nutshell".
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? Does it fit you, or does it feel incongruous with your nature? Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.
no subject
And I don't want to talk about the human excitement juices! I know more than enough about all their
fluids
Thank you very much
The only thing worse than that is bones. I'm like a soggy stick insect.
no subject
im rose quartz, whats your name?
no subject
[THE BIGGEST SIGH that no one can hear. He’s being childish and dramatic, he knows this. The knowledge doesn't make him feel that much less like doing it.]
It's nice to meet you.
What were you before, if not a human?
no subject
*mochael
*michael
sorry im very excited. my fingrs are moving faster than my human boyd knows what to do with
[Breathe, Rose... Breathe... Gosh, breathing is fun. Alright, next attempt.]
i was a gem! not the insentient kind found on earth and other planets. but a gem like the kind thats born on gem homeworld or in one of the colonies
no subject
I'm a demon.
Not the kind that was an angel created by a god and got sent to hell for sucking, the kind that just sort of spontaneously appeared during the creation of the universe.
We don't come with physical forms, though I've had an imitation human one for a while.
It didn't have anything inside it except for me.
no subject
oh im sorry, is that a rude thing to say? is it a misunderstanding that all demons are cruel?
so your imitation human form wasnt wet? but it was still solid?
no subject
[He is very nice for a demon!]
It was like a suit I could wear.
A skinsuit.
no subject
but restrictive. and possibly itchy
was it itchy?
no subject
Not uncomfortably so, but...firm?
Not anything like having actual skin, I'm finding.
no subject
having actual skin is so strange isnt it? its a part of you and surrounds you, and yet you dont really feel it at all. until you touch it. or damage it. THEN you feel it
its a funny feeling when you lick it. have you tried licking it?
no subject
Doesn't really taste like much.
no subject
but if it tasted good wed all be licking ourselves every day right? like some earth animals do
no subject
I don't know what I expected, human's not that good anyway.
[look he never made a PRACTICE of it or anything, but he's a billion years old and a demon! sure he's coming into the cannibalism capital of dreamwidth having previously tried human meat!]
no subject
humans one of the least desirable meats on earth. thats why everyone eats bacon and chicken wings instead
no subject
A friend of mine is obsessed with this one wing place in Florida, so I've mostly had those.
[yep this is a normal convo]
no subject
oh
we cant leave this place can we?
no subject
It's a real pain in the ass.
But I guess I can wait it out.
no subject
no subject
But I've had bad ones before. The only worse thing than an internal skeleton is an exoskeleton.
I'll manage.
