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! | |||

[another dramatic pause. she literally can't help herself.]
I'm dating Princess Ariel. The Princess Ariel.
[so her gay disaster sweater should make just a bit more sense.]
Which... leads into a story that's a little bit longer. Did you know I helped out Prince Charming when he thought he'd killed an old lady? He and King Beast ended up doing a weird, convoluted murder plot the week after, though. But, Queen Belle was shacking up with some greasy goth boy in Hell. This is the life I've been forced to live, with not a single person who understands how hilarious it all is! [IT'S BEEN HELL]

( evie has to say it out loud, repeat it, maybe only in order for it to ring true for her. freddie says that people from back home will think she's crazy and, well — the princess certainly finds herself confused for a multitude of reasons. at the very least, the sweater (she supposes) makes ... vague sense.
and yeah, okay, the rest of this story might make even less sense, the thought of true love — king beast and queen belle — separating, plotting evil things, truly stirring some strange feeling inside of her. )
I never thought there could be a place stranger than Auradon — or worse than the Isle. ( it's enough to make a frown cross evie's lips, ever the tragic sight.
still, there's something the princess can't ignore. )
Okay, but Princess Ariel? Arabella's aunt? Isn't she — ( get on with it, evie. ) Old?
no subject
[she frowns, busying herself with her straw. better than admitting the weeks she'd spent on something close to a suicide mission, before realizing how pointless it was.]
It's all... weird timeline junk. You don't get used to it. Trust me.
