progress city test drive #1

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!

[ooc; I'm easy! :D i'll just be as blind to it as Anna is. XD]

[ Having Elsa here helped with the homesickness, of course, but there was just something about seeing all the familiar buildings in a world where everything was so new and strange.

Anna blinks back any of those tears that were trying to fall as Elsa pulls her back to the present. She presses her lips together and inhales a deep breath before she turns and smiles at her sister- bright and cheerful and definitely a mask. ]


At least we have this?

[ It's a stretch, but it's at least something. ]

And each other. [ She reaches up and covers Elsa's hand on her shoulder with her own. ] That's something.

[One would think that, after so many years of forcing herself to keep her emotions hidden and putting on a mask for others, it would take no effort at all for Elsa to school herself into an expression of neutrality. But hearing those words - we have this, and each other - makes her blink hard, because the tears are coming fast, and she can't stop them.

That was all the two of them really wanted, wasn't it? To be together, to be sisters again. There were times when Elsa thought she'd never get that chance again, so to hear Anna say that... yeah. That hit her hard.]


Of course. With the two of us together, nothing will be able to get us down, right? [Despite the tears, she smiles. A real, true smile, with a hint of mischief behind it with her next words.] And I'm sure you'll be able to find trouble here just as easily as you could in Arendelle.

[ The tears are a bit of a shock to the younger princess, but it has her smiling a little softer now. She doesn't have to pretend as much now- it all rang true. Anna doesn't need more than her sister with her. ]

Right... [ Though with that comment... She laughs and turns to face Elsa completely. ] Where do you think the best chocolate is in this park? I think we should make a list. And try all of it.

[ All. Of. It. All the chocolate, Elsa. If there's no stomach aches, then it didn't happen. ]
