TDM: AUGUST/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 unpleasant taste and texture. The salt water is making all the cuts and scrapes on your skin sting and the sand isn't helping; it's coarse and rough. The air is slightly humid, thick and heavy, ruining any feeling of refreshment you might have gotten from your dip in the ocean. Your muscles ache with exhaustion. How did you get here? You don't remember.
There are lights in the distance, a city twinkling reassuringly on the horizon. Perhaps there is help there. Perhaps someone can tell you where you are, and how you got there. Perhaps, if you stumble to your feet, clothes heavy with seawater, and stagger in that direction, you might find clues to just what is going on.
Or, perhaps, you might walk directly into one of the many bear traps that are scattered around this beach, hidden beneath sand and seaweed, waiting for an unwary monster-to-be. Not everyone in this peninsula wants you in their home.
SCENARIO TWO
You've stumbled your way into a city, and you're promptly besieged by the overwhelming sights and sounds. 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 lost expression and your clothes- so different from their own- 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. A hefty laptop may be handed to you, with words of a ‘network’ used for communication. Wonder what that’s about? Then there’s the very confusing pamphlet stuffed within: "What To Expect When You're Expecting (To Turn Into A Monster)”. They may direct you to an organisation known as the Lighthouse, their members most prominently found at the 38-8 apartments and the Lighthouse Church. Or perhaps, if you're injured, they'll refer you to the Crowe Clinic instead. Unfortunately, the directions you're given are so very complicated that you lose your way in the streets after two left turns, a right and a left at the soup kitchen.
Take care when asking for more help. 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
Now that you've found a moment of peace, you open up the mysterious device that's been handed to you. Perhaps you'll recognize it as some sort of laptop, albeit an old and clunky one. Or perhaps you'll be astounded by this curious feat of technology, which is unlike anything you've ever seen before. Regardless, the moment the lid is propped open to reveal the screen and the keyboard within, you gain your first glimpse of the network.
Perhaps you'll want to choose a username and write your very first message, posing the pressing question that's on your mind at this very moment. The lettered buttons click and clack awkwardly beneath your fingertips as you type.
However, you may instead want to respond to today's most popular message.

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.

[Connor will have a nervous breakdown like an under-stimulated herding dog if it can't find a group to run in circles around and bark at.]
Sorry the notifs are working
Wow, what are guard androids guarding? That sounds like fun.
oh that explains a lot actually i was wondering why it was so quiet 8| i need to go check my threads
[Connor said, like a huge stilted nerd robot]
As a machine, Python was more naturalistic a language, and it was easy to find flaws in it.
The androids at the mall are guarding the merchandise and property there.
I understand that the place you come has artificial intelligence also?
On phone pretend it is still text
[Unfortunatly Lash finding someone neat us not always cool.]
Sort of? Like we had lots of drones made by yours truely, but Jugger was pretty lame and sometimes I suspected it was just someone inside a real ugly robot suit.
lol will do
[You can tell that Connor is going to transition to using he/him pronouns at some point by the way that it loves to explain shit to people that know way way more than Connor does.]
You created "Jugger"? I assume the name comes from "juggernaut."
no subject
Me? Make Jugger? Nah, he was waaaaay too lame for me to come up with. You know when something speaks up with beeps and boops like you'd waste precious programming time to have them say beep and boop when you could have a death ray on his head?
That lame.
But... I did want to make a robot eventually. What's an android?
no subject
An android is a robot that specifically resembles a human being. Non-humanoid robots can take any shape, including those of single limbs, vehicles, rovers, or tools.
Is your specialty in military robotics?
