progress city test drive #1
| Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow And Fantasy. Welcome to Progress City's first official test drive meme! This game is a panfandom jamjar set in a flux dimension inspired by Disney Theme Parks (particularly Walt Disney World in Florida) and the original concept for EPCOT (a city that would connect to the theme parks). Whether you're looking to join us or are just here to play around for a little bit, we have a few prompts below for you - but you're also free to come up with your own! | |||
| Prompt A Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, you find a vintage-looking ticket. The next time you blink or close your eyes for any reason, you open them and find yourself somewhere else - Progress City's Ticket and Transportation Center. You have no idea how you got here, and definitely don't know how you got this weird thing on your wrist... You'll learn, eventually, that Progress City and it's world-class themeparks are a popular tourist dimension across this universe. People can get in here very easily, but for some reason, that unremovable band on your wrist isn't allowing you to use their transporters to get home. To compensate, you'll be offered a job in the parks and free housing for the duration of your stay. Is that something you're willing to take? | |||
| Prompt B While you're here, you might as well spend some time around the theme parks in your downtime. It's easy enough to get to them - the city offers free 24/7 monorail and peoplemover transportation to each park, and you also get a free annual pass for yourself with your stay (lucky you)! If you're at all familiar with Walt Disney World, these four parks will seem...remarkably familiar to you. But there's little subtle differences here and there that that make this seem different - and the ones in charge will seem confused by the concept of a "Walt Disney World". Must be a thing about different dimensions. Nevertheless, you're still going to have the occasional bit of free time here, so there's plenty to see and do here across all four areas. Go ride some rides and eat some Dole Whip, you crazy kids. | |||
| Prompt C With the housing, you also get offered a job by Progress City's mayor. Maybe you decide to take it, maybe you don't, he's not gonna kick you out of your apartment unless you deserve it. But this poses a good way to get some actual money. You'll be matched to a job around the resort - hopefully one you enjoy. You could end up working in the parks as a ride operator, serving food, managing a shop, working security, or ending up as a pool lifeguard. There are a number of possibilities here, and you can always change your job later on if you find one that may suit you more. | |||
| Prompt D Over time, the thing on your wrist changes. Namely, it'll start taking on new colors, designs and occasionally icons that reflect your character's personality and appearance. You'll find that by concentrating you'll be able to utilize your band to... cast magic spells, of all things. These also seem tailored to your character - summoning weapons, creating projectiles, putting foes to sleep? It seems that no two bands are alike when it comes to this. ...Occasionally, you'll spot one or two small ink blot-like creatures scurrying about the city or the parks, creating an inky mess and leaving a small amount of chaos in it's wake. Those don't seem advertised. Perhaps they'd be good to try out your new abilities on, or maybe you'd prefer to practice a little bit first. | |||
| Wildcard As always, feel free to come up with your own scenario if none of these inspire you! | |||
Reynn | World of Final Fantasy | Early Canon
It seems like I'm in another world... without Lann or Tama too.
[Considering everything, this could be very bad, or very good. One, she didn't have to listen to the pun-masters that was Lann and Tama, but on the other hand, she hadn't been away from those two in a long time now.]
And Enna Kros isn't here. I could use her help.
B
[Somehow riding rides without Lann wasn't as much fun, but Reynn wasn't about to let it get her down. So instead of riding by herself, she's approaching random people with the bands with a hesitant smile.]
Want to go for a ride? There's a break in the line right now.
C
Here you go!
[Dressed as a random vendor, Reynn offered the ice cream to the child with a smile.]
Don't eat too fast or you'll get a headache. Next?
D
[The inkblots seemed more trouble than they were worth, but with her powers back for the moment, she went into action.
Summoning two basic Mirages, she stacked them atop her head as Reynn charged after them, casting Libra on them to ensure she knew what to do to bully them into submission, er, defeat them.]
Come back here!
Wildcard!
[Come at her!]
b
( it takes evie a moment to realize that the other girl is talking to her, but she returns reynn's smile with one that's overbright and enthusiastic. )
I'd love to! ( her head turns and she peers up at the attraction's sign, reading aloud: ) "The happiest cruise that ever sailed" — that sounds amazing. C'mon! ( and without any hesitation, she practically skips into the queue line, down the ramp that leads to the loading dock. )
Re: b
Thanks, it's no fun without another person on the ride. I'm Reynn by the way.
no subject
( princess evie, she almost says, but it's no matter — they've got a boat to board, and luckily for them, they've earned themselves a front row seat. ever-so-carefully, evie steps down onto the boat's seat and then to its floor, only wobbling a bit in her likely inappropriate for a theme park high heels. she holds a hand out for her new friend, eager to help her keep steady as she boards, too. )
no subject
Thanks for coming with me. This is going to be a fun ride I think.
no subject
it's a world of laughter, a world of cheer~ )
Oh, these dolls are a-dorable!
no subject
d
[And here's one of the park's resident janitors in uniform, chasing after the blots with a water gun. It's all he's got right now.]
You, uh...you've got this? Need a hand?
[Her method of fighting is...strange. What's with the plushie hats?]
Re: d
[He needs better equipment though.] Don't you have something to help you? That's a water gun isn't it?
no subject
[He shrugs and keeps running.]
But if you see any soccer balls I could probably use one of those!
[He casts his spell---it doesn't freeze the blot, but it freezes the push cart a poor employee was wheeling in its path---slowing it down a bit as it has to dodge around.]
no subject
[Passing by a sporting goods store, she rushed inside and grabbed a ball.] Put it on my tab please! [She shouted at the owner and tossed the ball to Tidus.]
Here!
no subject
[His broom's not quite a sword, but he still queues it up, tosses the ball, and thwacks it hard. It's enough to stun one.]
What are those things on your head?
[Because this is a totally appropriate time for this conversation.]
no subject
[Said monsters waved at Tidus as Reynn summoned her dagger and Channel: Earthed one of them, her dagger glowing a brilliant golden color.]
You're done!
no subject
[He swings his stick and ball again, trying to herd the blots into position so Reynn can make her strike.]
Go!
no subject
[With a slash, Reynn struck the whole lot of them, a cleaving earth wall erupting under the blot.]
no subject
...well, actually they're Yuna's friends. I'm just the tag-along guardian.
[He lets out a low whistle, then flings the ball in the stunned blot's direction.]
You're really good!
no subject
[Stop leaning on the 4th wall Reynn!]
no subject
no subject
no subject
[Or maybe she has a secret no one will believe, like him.]
You okay to keep going?
no subject
Yeah I'm fine, I'll be okay.
no subject
[He stops to take a breather, then looks around.]
Uh...where'd it go?
no subject
[Darnit, it escaped while they were distracted.]
