Test Drive Meme 2.





These are the mem’ries that last.
These are the mem’ries that will never pass.
And time waits for no one.
It’s gone in a flash.
And only the mem’ries will last.




Prompt 1:

he forest looms, uninviting and full of menace, an unwelcoming place for sure. Time to go explore! It isn't as though there's anywhere else to go, now that you've looked around the Town.

The trees whack at you with branches that have far too much mobility for normal trees, strange and mutated animals watch from the shadows and boughs, and there’s the constant, constant sense of being watched --

But eventually, nonetheless, you’ll come across a small house in the forest. It sticks out like a sore thumb, bright and colorful, which is probably the first warning that something is way off, and it’s...covered in candy. It’s a candy house! It looks delicious.

(It’s empty, too, not a single soul in it, without even furniture, but everything is otherwise edible and utterly delicious.)

But if you eat the candy? You’re going to have a terrible, overwhelming urge to do one of two things:

  • Fight the first person you see
  • Kiss the first person you see

Unfortunate.


Prompt 2:

he problem with a Town like this is that now that color is starting to return, bit by bit? You never really know when color’s going to come back -- or disappear. Maybe you’ve made a delightful, delicious sandwich from handmade bread and tomatoes and deer meat, all of which have color now… and then suddenly, when taking a bite, you get only the taste of ash and bread and tomato as the deer meat loses color.

Also, someone probably died for that color to fade away. Alarming!

Or maybe you’re walking along when suddenly your makeshift clothing is a hideous mix-match of colors; it had seemed fine when it was all grey and colorless!

Or perhaps, even worse, you’re walking out of a house when suddenly, the flowerbed in front of it has full color, bright and maybe a little blinding after so much monochrome. Damn those color mechanics.


Prompt 3:

he quest seems simple, on the Quest Post:

Quest 33:
Feed the Cockatrice.
Requirements: 2 of any color

Key word, of course, is seems. First, you have to find the cockatrice. Maybe grab someone to drag into the woods with you, since there needs to be at least two of you. Time to stomp through the woods in search of the elusive cockatrice.

Of course, once you find it, the quest...looks a bit harder. The monster hisses, ready to turn anyone who approaches to stone, as cockatrice tend to do. What do you even feed that thing? How will you get it to take it without getting stoned up? There are so many questions.

At least the stone will wear off...eventually… if you’re unlucky enough to get petrified.


Prompt 4:

ut hey, you did it! You fed the cockatrice, it seemed satisfied, and now you can go fetch your reward from your home. It must be something amazing, with the work that you put in.

The only change in your home, though, is what looks like a...picture book. It's got a colorful cover (in your character's color shade), and has their name on the cover, so it definitely belongs to them.

And when they flip it open, it's clearly full of pictures scribbled in, as if drawn in scribbly crayon. Unlike the rest of the Town, this book is fully colorful, every shade of the rainbow in those crayon strokes... which depict, page by page, your character's worst moments in their life. Every single last horrific experience or tragic moment -- it's all there, in colorful, cute children's drawings.

Congratulations!

[ At first, she thought Jake was going on about a peanut potentially lodging in his throat, talking as if candy can pose any threat whatsoever. But it's a food allergy... ]

You'll die if you eat peanuts? That's so sad. You're missing out on so many good things!

[ and then, very sadly: ]
Peanuts killed me once already.

I always keep a weapon on me.

[ It's her fists. She does not, in fact, ever carry an actual weapon. ]

Was it worth it?

[ side... glance... ]
I don't know.. I was asleep when it happened... s-so, erm, probably not.
buncho: (099)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-05-04 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Timeout, you ate a peanut in your sleep and died?

[ Sounds like like a lie?? ]

[ Anybody older than her is old! That's how it is with people with no manners. ]

Nothing that can't be punched so it'll shut up. You really haven't seen anything? If you find something scary, you can call me and I'll take care of it!
kringlefuck: (( 50. ))

[personal profile] kringlefuck 2018-05-04 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Now see here... the deets of my slumbering assassination I'm a bit fuzzy on cause it's been a good hot second since it happened but also I wasn't conscious when it happened. However, I'm absoltively-posolutely certain that if I could remember the details fondly I wouldn't even want to engage nattering about it with you! It's a bit personal!

It could have been one! Um, but it could have been many!
buncho: (092)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-05-04 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a lie. It's got to be— look at him, getting hysterical, trying to justify all of this and just making a big mess out of the story.

Mafuyu shakes her head and claps him on the shoulder. ]


Okay, okay, we don't have to talk about it. You don't have to tell me the truth.
kringlefuck: (( 236. ))

[personal profile] kringlefuck 2018-05-04 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ He just freezes when his shoulder is clasped and he just stares at her with a baffled expression. She seemed so interested in knowing what happened and he told her! And now, well, he looks more alarmed than anything but he doesn't budge from his stance. ]

Uhm.. I don't? I mean, if I don't gotta tell you, I reckon I take back everything I just said cause that's the sworn truth.
kringlefuck: (( 147. ))

[personal profile] kringlefuck 2018-05-04 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Your Cal? Heaven to Betsy, are you saying there are duplicates of that thing?! [ and then, quickly: ] Did you just say possessed?!

[ man, he really sounds normal for a dude who just dumped without closure, but being in this new place has really helped with him think about other things than that. ]

I mean, I never got all up and personal with it.. I-I don't know what I do.. do I shake hands with it? What the devilshit can one even do with a puppetkind of all things?

How do you not know about any of that?
Tell me this then.. what is it you do know about?
unfatalist: fuck you and fuck your molecular gastronomy (FOLDED ‎⚔ that's not even real cooking)

[personal profile] unfatalist 2018-05-04 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
...Of course I can see you, why wouldn't —

[But then he goes silent, because Ignis Scientia is many things but a fool is not one of them, and it's not as though Prompto is exactly subtle in the direction of questioning he's taking. It's hardly difficult to take his conclusion and work it back to the source, and he's really not liking what he's ending up with when he does.]

Why were you assuming I wouldn't be able to see you, Prompto?
girod: (glasses: wink wink)

[personal profile] girod 2018-05-04 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Clark stares back at him. ]

Yes, Bruce. I want you to be clear about what you want. What you're even talking about.

[ What ARE you talking about, Bruce? Clark doesn't know, isn't thinking of the fact that perhaps a proper kiss would remove the compulsion entirely. He's still a little focused on being annoyed.]
good_ideas: (geez || ew. and in class too?)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-05-04 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[The one thing Shiho knows about perverts, is that they really don't like being called perverts. (Okay and most regular people disliked being called perverts too but still.)]

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think your weird interest in my gun is shared.
asano_san: (impending doom)

[personal profile] asano_san 2018-05-04 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I can't tear apart a tree!

[He gives her a wary look, which on Keigo naturally edges closer to terrified.]

Can you?
good_ideas: (evil || yeah I really don't care)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-05-04 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
If they grow beyond who they are then probably.

Otherwise, aren’t they only good for fertilizer? [Especially if they were crazed, unrepentant perverts.]
good_ideas: (geez || you keep it)

[personal profile] good_ideas 2018-05-04 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Why is he smiling.... Is he part of the trap?]

You have a lot of questions, huh. Why, what exactly? [Why someone had decided to build this house? Why they’d built it in the forest where there was usually next to no foot traffic?]
foeyay: (ghoul engine)

[personal profile] foeyay 2018-05-04 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Josuke's shift in attitude immediately appeases Kamui. He grips his parasol a little tighter, leans in a little closer.]

I'd only be angry if you lost for a stupid reason, but it looks like you have good instincts after all. Don't you want to see just how good they really are?

gladion | pokemon ultra sun/moon

i. a boy and his chimera-dog

Shh... leave them be...

[Tense voice in hushed tones was spoken to the chimeric creature that padded slow and close to the blond teen. A hand, gentle as anything, brushed behind the creature's ears as Gladion urged it to pay no mind to the disturbing beings watching the two of them so intently. Silvally cut a growl short to whine, turning an uncertain gaze on to its trainer. Those things were a threat, Gladion...]

I know...

[The teen sighed as they continued to move through the forest, understanding the Pokemon's feelings on the matter.]

We don't know what they are, though.

[He didn't need a Rotom-Dex to understand that they were not Pokemon, and while he had the utmost faith in his small but capable team he wasn't foolish enough to send any of them at creatures that were an utter mystery to them.

Distracted in his thoughts his cheek just below his eye met with a particularly sharp slap from a branch, drawing blood from a stinging laceration. He stumbled and hissed, earning an even louder worried sound from Sivally. Fingers to his cheek, he brushed the dripping blood away without a care for actually stopping it or cleaning the wound. It burned but there was little he could do out there in the woods.]


I'm fine.

[A grumble, partially a lie, but enough to calm Sivally. A handful of steps through the forest later and they were greeted with the odd house built of, all things, candy. He had never been one for sweets and frankly the smell even from a distance was a touch on the sickening side. Sivally, on the other hand, was curious and began inching towards it with sniffing with interest.

Gladion held a hand over the uninjured side of his face (for some reason) and stared at the structure with an impressed scowl.]


What sort of joke is- Sivally, don't eat that!

[Too late. The chimerical Pokemon had already gone and licked the siding of the door, stopping only when Gladion called out and looking vaguely like a pet caught doing something naughty. Naturally neither of them had any idea that there was something... off about the confections that made up the house, but Gladion wasn't about to trust anything made of food just sitting out in a forest somewhere.

Too bad Sivally didn't seem to have the same level of caution.]


ii. a ray of sunshine he is not

[Clothing was only going to last for so long without needing a good wash. Even heavy duty clothing used for frequent and lengthy traveling like what Gladion wore almost every day would eventually need to be cleaned lest it continue to build up stink among other things.

He had come across little more than rags to replace his usual fare, but they were wearable, gray rags that didn't offend his edgelord senses too terribly much.

That was until someone decided to turn the colored lights back on to his baggy shirt, revealing it to be a very, very unbearably bright shade of yellow.

It was almost blinding. He could have easily become a lighthouse had he been standing anywhere near the docks. As it was he was simply in the middle of Flavo, the sudden change enough to make him stop and cry out like he had been struck.]


AUUGH!

[It wasn't like he was against color...

Just. Not that horrible shade of yellow. Couldn't he have chanced on something a little more muted at the very least?

Not his luck it seemed. Feel free to annoy him over how much he's standing out, or just ask why he's making so much noise over a shirt.

Alternatively bother him about the strange feathered dog-like creature standing at his side staring at him in complete confusion. Silvally really doesn't see what the problem is...]


wildcard

[I am also late but if you want to hit me up for anything feel free to throw things at my head-- I mean contact me on plurk via [plurk.com profile] rubberfaceokmumura or Rin#0768 on Discord.]

And I'm from outer space. [He hums.] That just makes having to adapt more interesting.
photoshooter: (PATHETIC 📷 Or did I just Beta you?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-05-04 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Because...

[The question doesn't make sense, but more than that, the way Ignis asks it--it's not rhetorical, not exactly, but Prompto gets the sense Ignis has taken a step back, conversationally. He can sense it, the careful distance taken to regroup, and he doesn't know why.]

Shouldn't you know? [That comes out small and confused enough, so he takes a deeper breath, hands clasped nervously in front of him.] Ignis, what's going on? Why're you asking me that?
costaliris: <user name=mallowofalola site=tumblr.com> (164 - iSN8Lzi)

Two!

[personal profile] costaliris 2018-05-04 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Gladion had missed the exact moment when the flowers had blindingly returned to their original colors, having been some feet away with his stride matching Silvally's as usual. It was only when he was within earshot of the excited chattering that he even took noticed, pausing to look at the girl who was practically gushing over the plants.

For a brief, unexpected moment a pang twinged in his chest. She looked nothing like Lillie, and yet something in her mannerisms and that bright, shining smile took him back to a time when they had actually been happy--

He looked away as if the color of the flowers were what was overwhelming him, dramatically placing a hand over half his face as he muttered.]


They're lovely...

[Worriedly, Sivally nudged his side with its head, though the Pokemon got little more than a distracted pat for its trouble.]
