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!

[catch gwen at the bubblegum wall in epcot, where she's taking selfies in front of it. she's wearing a #aesthetic shirt and matching pink sunglasses. being a wannabe progress city blogger means she's gotta catch that hipster disney aesthetic at all times.

as she posts the picture to her phone, she just asks aloud:]

...Anybody else find it weird that it's like, not Disney World? Like it's basically Disney World, but how they totally insist on not calling it Disney World.

d

Woaaahhh.

[Gwen is casually like, pressing the weird card she got against her magicband in a mesmerized fashion. Only because each time she does so, a pink elephant made of bubbles appears, parading about.]

Finally, I can relive all my nightmares Dumbo gave me as a young'in.

wildcard.
[hit me up with any prompts you want]

( !!!

evie gasps with wonderment as the elephant bubbles to life, prancing around like it's its job — and perhaps it is, for it seems to have no real direction with which it acts. )

How did you do that?

— And what exactly did you do?

...Do you mean like, how it works or how I made it work? The first, I have...absolutely zero clue. Close to zero.

[Gwen reaches for a weathered card she holds at her side.]

Have you been finding these? They’re like, magic, I think?

[ Basil doesn't go in for screaming much--he's not entirely sure he can--but he sure does squeak something that sounds kinda like a shout that ran into a gasp on its way out. ]

Randy--??

[ Also he manages to dart backwards straight into a wall.

...Look. ]

...you named it Randy?

[Gwen is concerned by the sudden naming of an elephant she just conjured up, so much so that she doesnt...pay all that much attention to the tiny mouse crashing into a wall.]

[ Now he's alarmed and annoyed. ]

NO, I--[ wait, that's. Some new arrival, not Randy... ]--those wretched elephants are dangerous, if you could kindly stop filling the city with them!

[ Lecturing from a four-inch-tall mouse, one who. er, might be unaware these elephants are far less potent than certain previously-encountered pink elephants. ]

Yes. That is strange. It is very strange that it is like this.

[Ashi is just. Still in heavy armor and sounds very convincing on what she's saying]
