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! | |||
Dan Backslide | The Dover Boys
[]His wounds may be healed but the emotional scars remain. And while he's ready to jump at the opportunity to get free food and board, he's got something of a job to do.
Aka, he's plastering posters all over the Transport Center of crudely drawn jerks- ahhhhhh boys. They have sinister grins and an evil glint in their eyes, but they also have circles where hands should be so. Artistic license. Backslide seems very intent on putting these posters over every single piece of wall in the area.]
C
[As a responsible citizen, Backslide is doing his duty for the community and working everywhere he's AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH NAH SCREW THAT.]
B-1
[Nah Dan can be found at the Adventurer's Club causing trouble. With a capital T, which rhymes with P, which stands for Pool. He's playing pool and smoking huge cigars. The staff may be trying to get rid of them/him but he seems to evade their more subtle moves while focused entirely on his game. He's on a roll and he's not letting so flimsy "rules" get in the way of a good time.]
Watch this one, boys. I'll knock this one right acROSS THE BLOCK!
[Also shouting, lots of sudden shouting.]
B-2
[Eventually, he'll be blocked from the club (as well as half of his disguises), leading to him taking a stroll around Hollywood Studios. And by stroll, we of course mean trying to force himself onto a movie set and meeting huge resistance from security.]
Yooooooouuu dare keep prime TALENT from the limelight?! Can't you see how the ladies would swooooooon over the handsome spectacle of DAN BACKSLIDE!
[If anyone happens to pass him by or even make eye contact, he come over to them and gesture to the guard like "this guy."] Little does he know that I'm planning on STEALING PROPS TO SELL ON THE BLACK MARKET! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!
B-2
Aha! Finally--another person who appreciates the art of being evil! Would you like to join forces with the great Doctor Heinz Doofenshmirtz? With our forces combined, we could definitely steal and sell twice as many props on the black market!
[He pauses.] You know, people would be much more surprised if you didn't announce your plans to the world. Unless, you know, your plan is to divert their attention from another crime? Oooh. Now that's really evil. I should write that down for future reference.

I don't understand what you mean.

Listen, buddy, I see the game you're playing here, and I'd like to get in on it. It's about time this place got shaken up a little by a true villain. Now, about this black market you speak of...where could I--we find it?
no subject
Simple! Wherever there's men of ill-repute, I know the most ill-reputiest!
