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! | |||

Nothing with an oversized mouse, got it. Because the last thing we'd want is to fit in here. [ She's teasing, but... Really now. Little does he know that she's already planning on buying something matching for herself. Mostly because how cute would that be??? And she's already seen people walk around in matching outfits.
As they enter the lobby, she can't help but wrinkle her nose a little. ] Wow. This is... [ She trails off, not necessarily wanting to say something rude about the place in front of the people that work here. ] Yeah.
[ She grabs Kristoff's hand and tugs him towards the area the cast member gestures them towards. Someone might be starting to doubt her decision- but she's not going to outright say it. ]

the way she takes his hand is pretty nice, too, and then anna's dragging him into the next room.
it's possibly stranger than the first, a room littered with books and all kinds of dusty-looking artifacts — and suddenly, the lights go dark, and a lit portrait flickers to life, complete with sound. you unlock this door with the key of imagination...
kristoff's brow furrows as the strange visuals play out before them, a floating door, a crashing window, an ... eyeball? he can't help himself; he squeezes anna's hand a little, as though to reassure her when he's mostly trying to reassure himself. ) This is definitely weird, right? ( he asks, whispered close to her ear. )
no subject
She tries to pay attention to the portrait, but she's too busy glancing around the room, just to make sure no funny business is happening. Though she doubted it with the park, you could never be too sure.
Kristoff's voice in her ear brings her attention back to him, and as she turns her head they're pretty much nose to nose. Thankfully it's too dark to see her blushing as she nods her head. ]
I don't know what an eyeball has to do with anything... [ Or... Oh my goodness. Anna's eyes widen as they explain that the elevator is broken? That those people died? THAT THEY COULD BE NEXT???
She takes a deep breath, steels herself more and smiles up at him as a panel in the wall opens to let them through and the lights come back on. ]
So. Are you ready???
[ That question might be more for herself. She's not saying. ]
