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! | |||
Riko Sakurauchi | Love Live Sunshine | ota
[Riko had been upset, for a number of reasons, most of them revolving around her school. after visiting with Chika and the other members of Aqours, she’d gone up to her room and found the old ticket sitting on her piano. she touched it to move it, but not before looking it over with curiosity. she wondered where it had come from.
then, when she closed her eyes to sit down, she found she was no longer in her room. she was in a strange place. she looked around, only noticing later that there was something around her wrist. she could not remove it.
so, here she is. she’s very confused, and she’ll stop the first person she sees to asking them]
U-umm... excuse me! Do you know where I am? [that sounds stupid. she tries again] What is this place?
II) a world of laughter
[it’s been a few days, and Riko’s gotten a place to stay. she is concerned, though, because there doesn’t seem to be a school around here. or, if there is, she hasn’t seen it yet. not that she needs a school, but she’s been told she needs to get a job. fortunately, her job is being an entertainer!
...unfortunately, being an entertainer here means donning a hot and heavy costume, completely with a big head and small eyeholes. she can barely breathe in here! how does You stand it?
she’s handing out balloons to people, and trying to be friendly, even as the hot sun pours down on her] H-hello! Welcome to Fantasyland! Please be careful, and enjoy your stay!
[can she go back to being a school idol now?]
III) wildcard
[got another scenario? put it here, or poke
ii
Catch me now, suck--AAAAAAAAAA!!!
[cause there's a short drunk man running right into you from behind]
whispers oh no
thank goodness for small miracles.
Riko is now flopped on her stomach, sprawled out, and... and her balloons... there they go]
no subject
Move it, I need to---
[But seeing a cute girl in the costume has him freeze, holding the head in his hands as he stares at her with wide eyes.]
I-I uh.....
[um what the fuck he was expecting a sweaty dude in here]
no subject
let her... process what is going on here. she’s kind of dazed! some guy knocked her over, and now he’s taking her costume? she blinks up at him with large golden eyes before she hears the sounds of the other men. she probably should not get involved. after all, this guy was rude. he ran into her. but he was also being chased, it sounded like. so she pushes herself up onto her feet and then ushers the young man into an alley to hide him.
she holds a furry paw up to her lips, to indicate that he should be silent, and then takes her headpiece back.
when the other men come by, Riko is in full costume, and she points off in another direction, standing just in front of the alley to hide Osomatsu]
He went that way!
I
Leonie squints down at the little... thing, arms crossed. It doesn't sound like an adult but she still doesn't know what to make of these strange looking people.]
...I am at a loss myself, mademoiselle. It certainly seems a crowded place.
no subject
but a lion.
that talks. nicely, she might add. called her mademoiselle, and everything]
I... It certainly is that... [Riko is shaking a little] It almost seems like... a theme park?
no subject
[She ponders the words carefully, tilting her head.]
I am not familiar with this, I am afraid. I know parks, of course, but none so... unusual.
no subject
U-um... A theme park is a place that usually has rides, a-and other tourist attractions. It's a place to have fun. Although... I don't know how I got here.
no subject
[Sounds.... ritzy.]
I certainly hope we aren't expected to pay for entry, then. I am somewhat strapped on funds.
no subject
no subject
This whole thing is entirely suspect. If they expect us to pay under these circumstances, it would seem that we are being swindled by bourgeois swine. And that is unacceptable.
[Very passionate revolutionary lion.]
no subject
W-well, I don't know if I'd go that far! Maybe we should look around and find the person in charge. Then we can t-tell them what happened.
no subject
Hm. Perhaps. [She tilts her head. She's like.... 90% sure this girl is a cub and she doesn't want to break the dreams of a cub.] A fine idea, even. If they are a reasonable sort, then all is well.
