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! | |||
Leonie Beaumort | Aviary Attorney
[What the shit is this place.
A woman with the head of a lioness has chosen to keep to the relative shadows as she sees these strange animals (not-animals?) walk and talk among themselves. They all seem to be wearing fancy fabric... Perhaps this is some new, bourgeoisie fashion area she's entered. They said it was a "park" but the sheer technological marvels around her seemed to suggest a much more expensive, less public, endeavor than she'd expect from that definition.
She doesn't think she likes it.]
B
[Leonie is a reasonable lioness who does reasonable things. But, well, those reasonable things are for the revolution of the French Republic. So there's going to be some cultural differences. Which currently involves overturning a "Festival of the Lion King" display in front of the Animal Kingdom's and firing her flintlock pistol into the air.]
Gentlemen! Mademoiselles! Hear my cry! Reject these false kings! They claim to speak for the people, yet they continue to line their own packets with coin! And where does that leave us?! Starving in the streets behind their "glorious" French Pavilion?! By our combined power, we can remove the bourgeoisie from their golden towers and take back these kingdoms for ourselves!
[She's very passionate.]
C
[At some point, the revolutionary has to get a job. She's not a fan but for the sake of the Cause, she has to earn her keep.
Which brings her to running a gift shop and probably arguing with anyone who will listen about the prices. Listen, $5 for a chocolate bar is insane, no one makes that much money in a year!]
im losing my damned mind i never thought i'd see an aviary attorney rper, im so glad??
[Hey, if you object to the new bourgeoisie fashion style, don't worry! There's a completely nude black leopard wandering who appears to have spotted you! How's this for a fashion statement?
Bagheera's... curious. Well, confused, more than anything- he's never seen a wild animal walk and dress like a human. Maybe this young lady is the opposite of Mowgli- is this what happens when man raises a wild cub like a man? It's this line of thought that leads him to approach.]
im living my bliss i highly rec it BUT THANKS
She immediately covers her eyes, leaning far away from this obscene display as possible. For goodness sake, their were cubs here. Possibly. Maybe. She isn't sure what those other creatures are but she imagines at least one is a child.]
Goodness gracious, sir.
no subject
I... Beg your pardon, madam?
[He has absolutely no idea what the problem is. Please teach Bagheera about furries.]
no subject
Now you wish to beg pardon? [She isn't sure she should even be happy she got a madam instead of a mademoiselle.]
no subject
I suppose I do, since I have apparently done something to upset you, though I can't imagine what.
no subject
Good lord, monsieur. I may not be bourgeois, but there are some standards to consider. There could be cubs present.
no subject
[Bagheera is so lost please help him
He also has no clue what the "bourgeois" is, but he's too distracted with being confused over... whatever this lioness is mad about. He'll ask about it later, maybe.]
