TEST DRIVE MEME
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!

"Duly appreciated, Gosalyn." A little hand-squeeze of gratitude.

She squeezed his hand back. "Heyyyyyy..." she said, as if just coming up with a brilliant idea. "Maybe what we need to get somewhere high so we can see more of the place..." Like say... maybe the top of Splash Mountain? If she can't get on one coaster, she'll try for another.

Of course she hasn't yet noticed the Dumbo Rides... which might get them even higher....

"That's not a bad idea." He has to admit, rubbing the underside of his beak. "It would give us an idea of how big this trap is, perhaps spot some weaknesses, and a chance to try out my newly learned mapmaking skills."

He glanced down at her, one eyebrow raised. "Lots of children, toy-shaped rides, this giving you the same villain-idea I am?"

She blinked a few times. "Quackerjack!" she said, blinking. Yes, she does have your whole catalogue of foes memorized, dad.

"Course, Quackerjack wouldn't expect you to walk into the obvious trap by say, riding a few rides... "

Nope she wasn't giving up that easily.

Hey, his second sidekick should have them all memorized! Of course, having her as his second sidekick still gave him a good heart attack every time he thought of it.

"Never underestimate the sick, criminal mind." He tapped his skull. "There probably isn't a single safe thing here. I might even suspect the sidewalks, since he's so sinister."

"Then we should get off them! Let's start with Space Mountain. That'll get us waaaay off the ground. And so long as Launchpad isn't running the controls, we might not even crash!"

"About how many times are you going to try and trick me into traveling somewhere terrifying?" Give your dad some props, he's not that dumb.

"As many times as it takes to get you to say yes." It's not like she's being all that secretive. She knows she can wear you down eventually.

"... This is going to be a loooooooong day."

"Yep! So we might as well enjoy it! You'll get to fight crime, and I'll get to ride all the rollercoasters! It's perfect!"
