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!

DAK PACK.

( for amaya jiwe, time traveler and bearer of the anansi totem, little surprises her anymore, despite coming from a life in 1942. the legends have found themselves in strange situations before, and this is no different. the expanse of this theme park she's found herself in far surpasses those at coney island, the attractions so highly advanced that she feels as though she's truly living the experiences they portray.

it's no surprise that amaya chooses to take the so-called peoplemover to animal kingdom, immediately enthralled by a living, breathing plant who winds herself around a lightpost, smiles fondly at passersby — she's simply divine. ) Isn't she marvelous? ( she asks a fellow admirer with a dreamy sigh, leaning back against a post to settle in.

later, she passes through the oasis and veers to the left of the magnificent tree of life, crossing a bridge into pandora, brow furrowed as she immediately encounters a strange, slightly — phallic plant that spews visitors with mist if they draw too close, unlike any she's ever seen. the sounds of creatures beckon her further into the land, though even as she touches the totem around her neck which should enable her to understand their words, she finds herself unable. it's curious, and slightly worrisome. further ahead, though, she encounters a pool of water full of some strange-looking creatures, and her face lights up immediately, racing towards them — only to find herself sprayed with water by all three, causing her to emit a gasp and stumbling backwards. if only she'd read the sign. )

I thought there were animals in this kingdom, ( she complains loudly enough for someone to hear.

luckily for amaya, she eventually finds the discovery island trails around the base of the tree of life, relieved to find an enclosure of perhaps the most beautiful porcupines she's ever seen. again, she tries in vain to touch the totem around her neck so she can speak to them to no avail; perhaps this place is more sinister than she thinks, counteracting the effects of her totem's abilities. even as she attempts to summon the ashe of the porcupines, nothing happens; the anansi totem's only purpose seems to be as a fashion accessory as the moment. if only she could get this strange band around her wrist to do something ...

regardless, she speaks aloud to the porcupines in plain english, hopes desperately that they'll understand her. ) I wish you weren't contained here, friends. Are you alright? Are you being fed well? ( because nothing about a girl talking to a bunch of porcupines is weird or anything. )

WILD (ha ha get it??) CARD

( feel free to throw whatever you'd like at me! be delighted by the kilimanjaro safaris with amaya, or perhaps admire the sumatran tiger kittens on the maharajah jungle trek. beware, she might be a clinger on expedition everest! animal kingdom is amaya's dream place, but i'm open to legit anything, anywhere. feel free to chat with me over on plurk at frickin, too! )

[ this is. not what lunafreya anticipated when she decided to visit this new and wondrous land advertised in this park. with a day off from princess duties ( appropriate for the former princess ), she had arrived with a churro in hand, sunglasses on her head and a fetching blue romper on her person....

only to be sprayed right in the face by this strange plant. ]

I beg your pardon!
