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:

Got something in mind? Want to play with the setting more? The sky's the limit, so feel free and make up your own prompts to play with!

Timeout, you ate a peanut in your sleep and died?

[ Sounds like like a lie?? ]

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!

[ 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. ))

[ 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.

[ She's interested! in the truth!! not about peanut assassination attempts. ]

No take-backs. Besides, you're not dead. See?

[ Most people would probably poke him in the shoulder as proof of tangibility and not ghostiness, but Mafuyu slugs him in the shoulder instead. Not hard, but- yeah she punches him. ]
kringlefuck: (( 60. ))

[personal profile] kringlefuck 2018-05-06 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH, LADY... ]

Whoa, hey!
[ He takes a step back not because it was a strong hit or anything, but it just startled him really. He tucks the piece of desk under his arm (why is he still holding it if he won't eat it.....) and wags his finger at her. ]

Now, see here, I'm a gent but I ain't against slugging a lady if that's what you're after, m'am.
[ he'd tip his fedora if he were wearing one and i hate that ]

[ Mafuyu makes a frustrated noise in the back of her throat, that might actually be a growl because she looks pretty darn mad even as she insists- ]

I'm not here picking a fight!

[ -all the while shoving at Jake's shoulders with both her hands. Why are all the glasses people she knows like this?? It's infuriating. ]

I hate people who lie! [ grips him hard on the shoulder, and shakes him in between each word ] So just! tell! me! the! truth!

[ He just allows himself to be jostled, dropping his desk piece and grimacing through the whole thing. Wow! What a temper.
Stunned, he stands there in silence for a moment. ]
kringlefuck: (( 40. ))

[personal profile] kringlefuck 2018-05-06 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Um.





Some folks... assassinated me... by force feeding me peanuts when I was asleep...?
buncho: (084)

[personal profile] buncho 2018-05-07 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ deep breaths ]

I'll give you one more chance.

Well, I was minding my own business, sleeping, and to my knowledge... some hooligans working for her fed me some peanuts and it sent me into an eternal slumber.. according to my good friend, there was a big funeral and everything! I guess it wasn't me-me, but another version of me?

[ GRIMACES, PREPARING FOR IT. ]

[ the same lie, slightly exaggerated, with an attempt at salvaging the situation towards the very end.

Good enough. She lets go, and stands back, arms folded across her chest. ]


The person I care about is the you standing right here, not dead-you or other-you. Tell me who "she" is, and she's going to come kill you too. I'll take care of it.
