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!


Extra:

Sora | Kingdom Hearts

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2018-04-29 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[one]

[Walking through a forest with whapping trees and creepy creatures is a little more than irritating and tiring. When Sora sees a chance at respite in the house up ahead he is pretty quick to make a beeline straight for it. And when he sees that it is made of actual sugary goodness? It’s like leading a horse straight to the water.]

Whoa, look at this place. Is this for real?

[When he knocks on the candy door it ominously opens and he peeks his head in with a curious expression.]

Uhh, hello? Anyone home?

[No? Well, don’t mind if Sora walks right in and picks a tasting looking candy off a wall. Right into his mouth, it goes (because why would anyone build a candy house and not eat it)!]

[two]

[Sora is minding his own business trying to buy some colourful paints. Why paints? Well, in a place like this having any colour at all is a luxury. So he wants to find paints that are still colourful so he can smear some wonderful (re: terrible) artwork of his own all over his walls.

And for a moment he gets excited when he sees a set of paints gleaming some reds and blues and he heads over to them and picks them up!

... Only for them to turn grayscale as soon as he does.]


You’ve got to be kidding me... What am I gonna do now?

[three]

[Feed a big monster? No problem! He just grabs a partner (maybe you?) and heads out!

It proves to be a little more tricky than feeding treats to a puppy, though... Sora pulls his partner behind a tree when it roars and Sora presses himself up against the tree and peeks out at it.]


Alright, I got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. What do you have?

[The forest has proven itself to be less than safe. The attacking trees are new though.

She spots the poor (but cute!) girl being battered by a tree and when it winds up to hit her again, the branch seems to stop--shaking as if it were fighting against an invisible forced holding it back.

That was, of course, Kaoru's doing and she'll try to use the same psychokinesis to drag Meridiana to her. She'd prefer 'into her arms' but as long as Kaoru can her out of the range of any violent flora she'll consider it a success.]


Psychic Rescuing Damsels in Distress!
photoshooter: (EYEROLL 📷 I'd hate to be that guy!)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, okay, have a little patience, dude! You can't rush these things.

[Still, he's kind of flattered. He saved up big time for this camera. Apparently, he has a lot of photos to scroll through, but eventually, ha-ha! Success.]

There you go. See? That's gotta be, like, twelve feet tall.
cupiditates: red carpet (talk; how do you make any event classy)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-04-29 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[That's definitely a gun being pointed at his chest, and yet Greed just keeps on walking forward like it ain't no thang, because, frankly, it ain't.]

Ahhh, settle down, lady. I'm not gonna fight you, I don't fight women.

[#ThisIsWhatAFeministLooksLike]

Centuries, huh? And somehow you don't look a day over twenty.

(ooc: I'm so canon blind but that art is really cute what the heck.)

I say we just bring a bunch of options and...wing it. [He pauses. Oops, unintentional pun?] The thing is, even if some stuff tastes normal again, everything else still tastes like ash.

[And wow, that's the real question here. Izuku frowns as he zips up his backpack and slings it over his shoulder.] That's...something we're still trying to figure out. Everyone here is like us, from a different world altogether, and the only one who seems to know anything about this place is staying anonymous on the forum.
occultigen: (PEEK ⚜ be vewwy vewwy quiet)

[personal profile] occultigen 2018-04-29 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[It is indeed a girl, and a nervous one at that, and evidently we're both going to be stammering messes here for a while, it's almost like we're twins or something.]

Oh...no, not at all, I was...coming here for the same reason, actually.

[She rubs at her arms a little awkwardly, palm skimming over the tatters her sleeves are in from being snagged on the branches. The fabric is dark, thankfully, which is hiding some of the grass stains from getting knocked down, but it's not doing much for the mud, alas.]

Every time I get near one, it knocks me down. It's...that way for you, as well?
buncho: (021)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-04-29 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ There is no problem but him, Mafuyu's sure of it, giving him an unaffected smile and a hesitant ]

You're welcome?

[ because that's the polite thing to do when somebody says they're grateful and she has been nothing but polite. UNDETERRED—- ]

I got all this other stuff here too! If you don't like soup, you can try something else! We can eat together!
unferal: ([w] all the things you said)

[personal profile] unferal 2018-04-29 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He also has his tail tucked between his legs and is peeking around Izuku like he's not sure if the bird is COMING FOR HIM. Why is it always birds. Jeez. But then he realizes that maybe just running towards humans in this form isn't safe. So umm.

He looks up, a soft little whimper because. Well. The woods are scary the woods aren't supposed to be scary.

But he also moves to sit, and his tail gives a little wag. Hi. Hello, human. He isn't talking or pulling out the "also can look human" card just yet just yet because THAT SURE FREAKS PEOPLE OUT.]
messianic: (Farewell farewell my pleasures past!)

[personal profile] messianic 2018-04-29 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[They are definitely always like this, except when they're not. Awash. Minato just sighs a little, shaking his head.]

The forest seems to change its mind on whether or not it wants us in it on a daily basis.

[Still, as for the blazer...]

It's fine. If I need it back, I'll let you know, okay? Until then, keep it.

[He's got healing spells up his sleeves for later, if his arms get beaten up from fending off the branches. He'd rather she hold onto it, when she looks so dismayed and beaten down already.]
photoshooter: (DOUBLE TAKE 📷 Eh?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, umm, yes, I know that, sir.

[Dude is old. So old. Older than King Regis. He's gotta be respectful.]

But it'll at least get rid of the book, right? I'm kinda more worried about the book right now.
kringlefuck: (( 126. ))

[personal profile] kringlefuck 2018-04-29 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
You know what else i cant believe?
How the everfrig you ended up so fortunate with your correct and signature color, john.
Youre fortunate im not the vindictive kind of kin otherwise i would find a way to sabotage that accurate cerulean blue right out beneath your fingers.


[ oh ok we're going on a rabbit trail away from this conversation.. ]

Also you know what?
Herpies genocide or not i just dont feel like i should cater to this guys every need and want.

[ herpies genocide please kill me i hate what i write ]
cupiditates: (talk; i'm kind of a big deal)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-04-29 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Is he going to adopt this small child? Maybe! She's delightful, and he barks out a laugh.]

Yeah, not usually! Hey, how about clothes, huh? You can't have a good fight if you look like crap.

[Unlike him, with his leather pants and fur vest . . .]
buncho: (013)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-04-29 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Nope!

[ She's unreliable in that instance, but her confidence is in her strength and her dogged persistence, stepping in close and looking rather ecstatic about this whole thing, as if they were simply taking a stroll through the woods rather than out hunting for a monstrous bird. ]

But it's somewhere in the forest, right? So all we gotta do is go through the entire forest, and we'll run into it at some point!
moochobliged: (aaaaaaaaaaaaa)

[personal profile] moochobliged 2018-04-29 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh.

Well in that case, the look on his still kind of muddy face instantly goes from serious to beaming. Yes, hello, she's his new best friend.]


Ah, we can? I knew I could count on a kind stranger to save me! What's your name? Let me help you carry that!
finethanks: (☆ 12)

there's no one here to save him? he's going to die

[personal profile] finethanks 2018-04-29 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
[A beautiful stranger at your window! Nothing wrong with this. He leans against it curiously, trying to smell what it is she's prepared. Hmm, he was always scolded for this and that by Keito, things like "don't just take food from anyone you meet!", but isn't he going to starve otherwise? It's an emergency. He hasn't eaten since yesterday.]

Is that so? It's not often that I'm able to try myself, so watching it like this is a bit magical. Nanami-chan, is it? It's nice to meet you. I hope I'm not intruding.
queenofminiskirts: (cheerful || awkward)

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-04-29 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's some kind of bird monster that can turn people into stone?

[Kaoru knows this only because she plays video games. She's following along while floating in the air because since when does a psychokinetic need to walk..?

And while she's at it, she's stealing a piece of candy. She's hungry, okay?]


Maybe we need some kind of bait?

cupiditates: leading into my bedroom (talk; on top of that)

[personal profile] cupiditates 2018-04-29 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
It's endless, and he's definitely eaten a bunch of animals over the past year or so. You would've been fine.

[But you settled for a shoe, and he seriously cannot believe this was traumatic enough to make it into the book, but there it is: one boot, freshly boiled.

Yare yare, I would be justified in writing, and yet will refrain.]


What else is in here? That one time you didn't get dessert?

diana will gently hold him down either way tbh

[personal profile] embracers 2018-04-29 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Diana finds herself unable to resist the open door the same as Eichi, so here she is, stooping a little (SHE'S TOO TALL FOR THE THRESHOLD) and then straightening as she takes the house and Eichi in.

She's actually a little surprised to see him -- she was half-expecting a Gingerbread Man................. get it]


I am sorry for intruding without permission, but -- [she gives a nod at the door left ajar] your door is open.

[which apparently means that it is okay to just go into people's houses??? She gives him another curious look -- still checking to see if he is, in fact, made out of gingerbread.]

Are you the owner of this house? If you live here, then would you mind if I ask you some questions?
buncho: (021)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-04-29 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ If she lets go, she's pretty sure she'll be hurting for it, so Mafuyu stands her ground, keeping a firm grip on the weapon even as she keeps up her attempt on getting through to Nanami. ]

Hey, what's your name? My name's Mafuyu!

[ There may be some selective hearing going on here, but strong as Mafuyu is and accustomed to fighting her entire life, she really really doesn't want to fight a girl. ]
nipzips: (come on you target)

swordfucker ...

[personal profile] nipzips 2018-04-29 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
So that's how things work here, huh ... [ People just claim and squat? Okay. He likes having a nice place of his own, along with nice food and stuff, maybe a Playstation and some Prince CDs, but ok. If this is his life now, he has no choice but to accept it. ]

Fine, I definitely don't want someone to come in and start ... calling the police on me. [ Do they even have police? Anyway, if someone comes in trying to beat him up with a bat, he wouldn't even feel like he has the right to fight back, since this is his fault.

Josuke puts down the sausage in a deflated fashion. What a wasted sausage line. ]
What do you guys even do to get food?

[personal profile] shipracked 2018-04-29 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[another sharp crack, and the pirate's pistol kicks back, a bullet whizzing past his head and burying itself in a tree behind him. yet another warning shot]

The fight knows neither man nor woman, and yet that's the first hing you say? Ha! Next time, I should aim between your eyes.

[nevertheless, she pulls her weapon back, resting it on her shoulder as she watches him approach, eager and interested. for a fight. why did she eat the candy]

And the battlefield is no place for flattery, Sunglasses.
kringlefuck: (( 110. ))

[ yellow bros unite... ]
Ugh i figured it would be something really dangerous.
I guess here goes nothing..

[ wait didn't he say.. don't engage? ]
parodeity: aaeds @ tumblr (CHILL 🎧 you got it)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-04-29 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, a chocobo. Tel has one of those.

[ maybe someday dave will learn ignis's actual name but that day has yet to come and he doesn't care enough to call someone on a fake name if they're decent company... ]

So that baby there is a cockatrice and not a chocobo? Do you actually happen to know what they eat because I feel like it's not a horse and apple situation...
photoshooter: (SHOULDER 📷 You really mean it?)

[personal profile] photoshooter 2018-04-29 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Prompto draws in a pained breath and flinches away from the touch. And also from Guren, generally. He's old enough to have a healthy wariness of strangers, and it shows as, gingerly, he sits himself up, watching Guren with care.]

I... it's nothing. I'm fine.

[It is most definitely not nothing, as he holds his arm to cover some of the bruising.]

The, uh, local flora's pretty feisty, is all.

[The trees have so little to do with this.]
queenofminiskirts: (neutral || how about no)

I

[personal profile] queenofminiskirts 2018-04-29 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
[So. Kaoru has eaten a lot of weird things that came out of the forest--things that had way too many limbs or eyes and they were fine.

But a candy house? She didn't really trust it. Especially since the last time she was here all the stuff that attacked them were things that seemed to come out of myths or stories. So she's just...reaching out and snagging him by the back of his shirt and to pull him back.

She's surprisingly strong for someone who looks like a regular highschool girl.]


I don't think we should eat that.
