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!

Threaded | Flat

A

[Right, this isn't Mewni, or Earth, but at least it's not the hell box of endless boredom! Star can finally see the sky again!

And she has her wand back! Oh man, it's been too long since she's used any real magic that didn't end badly.]

All right, time to kick thing off with a NARWHAL BLAST!

[She raises her wand into the air and...!!! Nothing happens.]

I said... NARWHAL BLAST!

[Nada. Star shakes the wand impatiently.]

Hey, what gives?

B

[So she can't leave, and she can't use her magic. Star's trying not to panic as she scurries from one part of the city to another in search of an exit. There's gotta be SOME way outta here, right?

She's investigating the Magic Kingdom when she comes across a sight that is entirely too familiar, and not in a good way.]

Ohhhh, you have gotta be kidding me...

C

[Some time has passed, and although Star is unhappy that she STILL can't go home or use her magic, this place at least doesn't have any horrible murder or demons or blood rituals as far as she can tell. At least she gets to ride the rides as much as she wants, and some of them are actually fun!

Also, she has a job! Which... she wasn't all that jazzed about at first, but when she found out she'd be working in a candy store, she was all about it. She just has to be careful not to eat all the stuff she's supposed to be selling.

Today they have a selection of teddy bear-shaped chocolates on display, and Star is ignoring you while staring longingly at them, muttering to herself.]

They're sooo cute... maybe I can just take one, and nobody'll notice...

D

[Today, Star has noticed something about her magic band. Namely, a little cartoon narwhal has appeared on it.]

No way, it couldn't be... could it?

[Only one way to find out. She summons her magic wand and holds it aloft!]

NARWHAL BLAST!

[The wand glows, and a blast of glittering light and adorable narwhals shoot from it.]

It worked! IT ACTUALLY WORKED! MY MAGIC'S BACK!

[Star lets out a high pitched shriek of glee as tiny narwhals bounce around her.]

Wildcard

[because I'm doing every prompt]

A

[Donald's... used to ending up in weird places by now. Not enough to like it, but at this point it's less surprising and more depressing. At least once he got over the initial panic.

Granted, the ticket thing was new (how fancy), but the first thing he's doing is trying to find the management. Because. You know. That worked out so well last time.

So yeah, there's just. A duck running around yelling at anyone (and anything) he encounters, as one does, in-between intervals of trying to tug the band off of his arm.]

Hey, what's the big idea? I didn't sign up for this! Somebody get this stupid thing off my wrist!

B

[Luckily, if there's anything that alleviates the pain of being stuck somewhere else again, it's Dole Whip. Lots of Dole Whip.

The table he's been occupying for most of the afternoon is currently empty save for the twenty or so Dole Whips just sitting there. You're welcome to attempt to take one, if you want, but if you do Donald will be quick to appear from... wherever he'd wandered off to, slapping it out of your hand and onto the ground.]

Beat it! Go buy your own!

Wildcard

[Want to do something else instead? Hit me!]

C

[Sheldon considered himself a smart individual. Actually, a genius, a genius with very many talents. Talents which were currently being wasted on the job he'd been assigned-- serving food.

It's wasn't necessarily bad, at least not enough to switch jobs. It was easy, and it left him with a lot of free time. The biggest problem was that it was still one step away from knowing how to actually make any of the snacks from scratch. Which is kind of what he needs. He's seen how popular the Dole Whip is. He's sure there's nothing stopping anyone (say, him, for example) from setting up a better food stand.

But it's fine. He can find a way to work with this. One of these customers has to be in charge of actually making the stuff, and even if they don't maybe they're just really good at analyzing recipes from taste alone. So the next time anyone steps up to the stand to purchase one, he leans casually on the window ledge.]

Hey, do you know what? This Dole Whip is some really great stuff. Top-notch. I wonder what the exact composition of this ice cream is? Or what the specific ratio of pineapple to ice cream might be? You wouldn't happen to know anything about that, would you?

[It's fine. It's just some friendly conversation!]

D

[The band on his wrist is tacky at best, though at least it's a good color-- it's mostly annoying in that he just can't take it off. But it does have one benefit. A very nice benefit. It admittedly took quite a while for him to try to figure out what the cards have to do with anything, but as soon as he does figure it out... well.

If you see someone on the outskirts of any given area launching tiny fire projectiles into a random direction, don't worry about it.]

Fire. Fire. FIRE. YES.

[Does he know you don't have to actually say it aloud to use the cards? Most likely. Does he care at the moment? Not really. He needs more of these immediately.]

Wildcard

[because who doesn't like more options]

a
[He's just too clever for these folks. Far too clever for them, yes sir. They think they can just stick him here? Shackle 'em with a job? No, sir. B'rer Fox is far too cunning of a critter for that, and he'll find his own way to do it, he will. He's gonna prove just how clever he is, make 'em all see them's just the facts.

The problem is that there's very little in the way of lifestock here. At least, ones that are free game. He's able to make through scrounging through the garbage like an animal, but that ain't classy.

Besides, those cinnamon rolls the coffee shop is baking? Those smell real good. He wants them today. He's gonna get 'em.

So, if you're attentive enough, you might just spot a four foot tall scrawny little fox attempting to pilfer from your back pocket, in hunt of a wallet or something.]

b
[B'rer Fox also tends to spend a lot of his time at Splash Mountain. Why wouldn't he? It's a ride based on him, and goshdarnit, he's gonna 'ppreciate it. So, catch him being a general nuisance around the area, and riding it about eight times a day.

But even more terrible is that he's managed to memorize what the backstage of this ride looks like. Which means that amongst the animatronic critters by the log flumes, you're going to catch a B'rer Fox that's much more realistic than the animatronic version you just passed.

Riders, feel free to take notice. Security, feel free to try and stop him.]

Hey there, folks! It's me! The fox from the ride, all movin' and lifelike! Listen here, forget about that big ol' drop at the end, I'm the best part of this goshdarn thing so you best be payin close attent-

[He's cut off by an animatronic goose, who's on a loop singing about being the dangers of being foolhardy. B'rer Fox gives it a kick.]

Shut yourself up, I'm tryin' to do a spiel here!

wildcard
[hit me with anything if none of these work for you!]

B

After the initial shock of being alive, certainly not a force ghost and subsequently shoved into his old body again, Darth Vader had no idea what he should be doing with himself.

He had received the ticket and he had wandered around the town aimlessly for the most part because well, there was a lot of people who wanted him dead.

That being said, the man was literally riding a teacup ride, pondering his fate in life.

Wildcard

[Come at him bros.]

[A]

[This is a new one on Roxas, that's for sure. And while this isn't exactly what he imagined Sora's heart to look like, the more he thinks about it, the more it almost makes sense?

But he also figured it would be a lot more empty.

So, he's standing there, utterly confused and tugging at the band on his wrist.]

Is there where I'm supposed to be?

[B]>

[While he's never actually been one, Roxas is familiar with the concept of a theme park. And this one seems somehow familiar, despite never actually having been here.

But a voice in his head tells him reconnaissance is key so he'll start looking around. And the more he does the more interested he gets. This place actually looks like fun.

Eventually he stops in front of a ride.

So, we can just go on them?

[D]

[Roxas has noticed that the band on his wrist has gone from a green-y colour to a more checkerboard pattern, and it's as he's studying it that he sees the creature. Heartless? Here? Well, someone has to do something about that and it might as well be him and he's pleased as the keyblade still appears in his hand with a flash.

He'll chase down those inky creatures!]

[C]

[Somehow, it's the job that gets Joshua moody rather than suddenly being away from home because eww, work and effort. He looks so bored from where he has his feet propped up and a fashion magazine in his hands while sitting in this booth.

... He's supposed to be taking commemorative photos for visitors, but--]

Trust me, you don't want a memento of this occasion to remind you that you thought that outfit was a good idea.

[Someone please tell him to do his damn job.]

[D]

[The power suppression is really annoying and he hates that this is a thing we have to contend with yet again. But at least there's ways to fix that.

As such, when he regains his telekinesis one day, he can be found picking up one of those inkblots and making them spin lazy circles in the air... because of course he abuses his power on what's available the first chance he gets. This is probably just dripping ink everywhere.]

Edited 2018-03-03 20:31 (UTC)

A.

It seems like I'm in another world... without Lann or Tama too.

[Considering everything, this could be very bad, or very good. One, she didn't have to listen to the pun-masters that was Lann and Tama, but on the other hand, she hadn't been away from those two in a long time now.]

And Enna Kros isn't here. I could use her help.

B

[Somehow riding rides without Lann wasn't as much fun, but Reynn wasn't about to let it get her down. So instead of riding by herself, she's approaching random people with the bands with a hesitant smile.]

Want to go for a ride? There's a break in the line right now.

C

Here you go!

[Dressed as a random vendor, Reynn offered the ice cream to the child with a smile.]

Don't eat too fast or you'll get a headache. Next?

D

[The inkblots seemed more trouble than they were worth, but with her powers back for the moment, she went into action.

Summoning two basic Mirages, she stacked them atop her head as Reynn charged after them, casting Libra on them to ensure she knew what to do to bully them into submission, er, defeat them.]

Come back here!

Wildcard!

[Come at her!]

A

[]His wounds may be healed but the emotional scars remain. And while he's ready to jump at the opportunity to get free food and board, he's got something of a job to do.

Aka, he's plastering posters all over the Transport Center of crudely drawn jerks- ahhhhhh boys. They have sinister grins and an evil glint in their eyes, but they also have circles where hands should be so. Artistic license. Backslide seems very intent on putting these posters over every single piece of wall in the area.]

C

[As a responsible citizen, Backslide is doing his duty for the community and working everywhere he's AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAH NAH SCREW THAT.]

B-1

[Nah Dan can be found at the Adventurer's Club causing trouble. With a capital T, which rhymes with P, which stands for Pool. He's playing pool and smoking huge cigars. The staff may be trying to get rid of them/him but he seems to evade their more subtle moves while focused entirely on his game. He's on a roll and he's not letting so flimsy "rules" get in the way of a good time.]

Watch this one, boys. I'll knock this one right acROSS THE BLOCK!

[Also shouting, lots of sudden shouting.]

B-2

[Eventually, he'll be blocked from the club (as well as half of his disguises), leading to him taking a stroll around Hollywood Studios. And by stroll, we of course mean trying to force himself onto a movie set and meeting huge resistance from security.]

Yooooooouuu dare keep prime TALENT from the limelight?! Can't you see how the ladies would swooooooon over the handsome spectacle of DAN BACKSLIDE!

[If anyone happens to pass him by or even make eye contact, he come over to them and gesture to the guard like "this guy."] Little does he know that I'm planning on STEALING PROPS TO SELL ON THE BLACK MARKET! NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW!

b

[catch gwen at the bubblegum wall in epcot, where she's taking selfies in front of it. she's wearing a #aesthetic shirt and matching pink sunglasses. being a wannabe progress city blogger means she's gotta catch that hipster disney aesthetic at all times.

as she posts the picture to her phone, she just asks aloud:]

...Anybody else find it weird that it's like, not Disney World? Like it's basically Disney World, but how they totally insist on not calling it Disney World.

d

Woaaahhh.

[Gwen is casually like, pressing the weird card she got against her magicband in a mesmerized fashion. Only because each time she does so, a pink elephant made of bubbles appears, parading about.]

Finally, I can relive all my nightmares Dumbo gave me as a young'in.

wildcard.
[hit me up with any prompts you want]

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! )

[B]

[There's an armoured individual standing in front of the entrance to the Epcot center, looking around rather amazed. More amazed, perhaps, is the red and blue holographic figure hovering near his shoulder]

So this is really Disneyland?

Looks like it, Theta. Although this is the Epcot center...it's not quite Disneyland but we can make our way over there.

let's do that!

Okay, okay.

[And he'll look around a bit]

Excuse me, can you tell us how to get to the Magic Kingdom? I think we took a wrong turn somewhere.

[C]

[North is out of armour now, but has managed to get a job as a ride operator. He's still got that hologram hovering nearby though.]

We'll get going in just a minute. I just need to go over these one more time.

Heh, first day on the job.

[And it's a far cry from what he used to do. Who knew these things were so complicated.]

Theta, don't touch that button.

[D - Wildcard]

[Hit me with whatever you'd like]

Edited 2018-03-03 19:40 (UTC)

A

[POOF! Blue smoke, everywhere!]

I am the terror that flaps in the night! I am the decreased ticket prices after you already bought a lifetime pass! I...

[The smoke fades, and there our hero stands, triumphant, noble, dynamic - until he takes in his surroundings. He blinks. Blinks twice. Glances around.]

... Am clearly not where I'm supposed to be. Huh. Oookay, this is the last time I let Launchpad program the GPS - why did I think he could do that when he can't handle VHS?

[Someone care to clue him in?]

B

[Perhaps a little hopeful, he's found himself in/around the Haunted Mansion, trying to quiz the employees who, if you ask him, are being TERRIBLY unhelpful.]

Are you sure you haven't seen her? Tall, black and white hair, pretty pale, shape of an hourglass?

[TMI, Drakey.]

Look, all I'm saying is that this place would be her scene! Tch.

[That's when he turns to you, annoyed but still desperate.]

How about you?

C

[Well, until he gets some real answers, security might be the ideal job for him - and lo and behold, he believes he's caught a thief!]

Pause in your pilfering, you pea-brained pillager!

[Ho! Ha! Karate pose! Are you actually a no-good criminal, or there been a severe misunderstanding?]

D

[FINALLY SOME REAL ACTION! THIS IS THE STUFF HE'S USED TO! With his trusty can-hold-anything-not-quite-gun, he chases down the inky monstrosities!]

Not so fast, you dark dredges of dinginess! There's no escape from DARKWIIING DUCK!

[He fires! And out shoots pairs of rope to instantly capture and tangle the subject! ... At least, that's how it would normally work, but since they are ink creatures, they just casually slip out. He pauses, looking down at his weaponry.]

Not one of my better days, I'm realizing.

[A]

[Ahh. Fake Walt Disney World, the happiest place on Earth....

All this happiness makes him sick!

Doof scowls, trying to pry the band off of his wrist. One second he was checking his mail for bills when a ticket fell out onto the floor, so he bent down to pick it up. The next second, he was in this weird approximation of what he assumed to be Disney World. He'd seen the pictures online, but he'd never really gotten past the security guards before. But he had no evil scheme prepared, nothing to ruin the happiness of those around him. And now this stupid green band is around his wrist. What kind of logo is three circles, anyways?

If anyone happens to pass by, he'll try and get their attention.]

Hello! Hey! Help me get this stupid thing off, will you?

[C]

VERY FUNNY, GIVING ME THE JOB OF A PHARMACIST! YOU KNOW, JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS A LAB COAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE A PHARMACIST!

[He shouts, towards no one in particular. Scowling, he continues to sort individual pills into their respective bottles. You can't really be evil with medicine, that's just plain rude. If anyone approaches the counter, he'll address them, barely glancing their way.]

Yeah, yeah, what do you want? I'm a busy man, I got things to do.

[Wildcard]

[hmu with anything u want!]

A

[What? Waking up in unfamiliar surroundings, Snake wonders whether he had been taken out or drugged without noticing. Looking around, though, this wasn't exactly the kind of location he'd expect to be kidnapped to.

Not that there was much of a standard for this kind of thing. His first thought, like in most situations, is to ask Otacon. He reaches to his ear to call him on his codec.]

Otacon? Otacon, do you read me? Otacon!!

[With some frustration, he gives up, and notices the strange thing on his wrist.]

Hnnrh. I wonder what this is...

C

[Compared to his previous area of employment, food service was marginally less stressful of an experience. Snake has no trouble keeping up with the fast pace of orders and customers, but he is only one man in a system, and the kitchen feels the strain of the establishment's popularity.

Somewhat embarrassingly later than expected, Snake arrives at your table with your order.]

Kept you waiting, huh?

B

Shhh, shhh... That's it, nothing to worry about... I won't hurt you...

[... There is a grown man crawling on the ground, sneaking up behind a street pigeon. He seems to be planning to catch it, judging by the butterfly net he inexplicably has. Stop him? Help him? Watch? It's your choice.]

C

[Medic has settled into this place rather well, all things considered. Sure, he has no idea what happened, where his team is, or what's going on, but that's a valid description of every day on the battlefield. And this place involves much less harm to his person. No more getting shot at!

Still though. he'd be lying if he said he didn't miss his work. So he jumps at the first chance to take on medical care work again, and readily accepts a job offer with first aid.

After three days of nothing more serious than a case of sore throat coming in, Medic's bored out of his mind. Where are the bullet wounds? The lacerations? He hasn't performed surgery in what feels like so long ...

If you enter his office, you better have a damned good reason for asking for medical assistance!]

001. ＣＨＡＰＥＡＵＳＨＯＰ．

( evie is far more prepared for this situation than she may have been had she not been introduced to auradon prep first; this magic kingdom definitely lives up to its name, much to the princess's utter, squealing delight when she first enters main street u.s.a. there are shops for days and she simply can't help herself; she purchases an official ~~disneyland resort~~ progress city spirit jersey and tugs it right over her head, because she's not about to let her fashion game slip while she's here.

the next step, though? accessorizing.

in the middle of the shop, she pokes someone on the shoulder, holding a pair of mouse ears in each hand. ) Hi, I really need your help. Which ones are better? These, or these?

002. ＣＩＮＤＥＲＥＬＬＡ＇ＳＣＡＳＴＬＥ.

( shopping finished, she heads towards the hub, lip glossed mouth practically dropping open as she slows her approach, looks at it with awe. it's just like the castles she'd seen in her storybooks when she was a little girl — like the castles her mother was set on her acquiring when she married a handsome prince and took over his kingdom. honestly, she might be a little misty-eyed, but nobody had better say anything about it.

she walks around the curved pathway above the moat to the front gates of the castle, admires the beautiful mosaics inside the tunnel, and — she just can't help herself, she tries to yank open a door to let herself in. except for the fact that it, you know, doesn't budge. brow furrowed, teeth gritted together, the princess holds onto the door knob and pulls with all her might, throwing a look over her shoulder to a passerby as she begs, ) A little help here? I need to get inside!

003. ＣＨＯＯＳＥＹＯＵＲＯＷＮＡＤＶＥＮＴＵＲＥ．

( or gimme whatever your heart desires! wanna ride prince charming's carousel with evie, or maybe be weirded out by how delighted the seemingly delicate princess is by the 999 happy haunts of the haunted mansion? perhaps share some lefou's brew in new fantasyland? hit me up, and feel free to hmu on plurk at frickin. )

A
It isnt as though strange things do not happen in Vila Xurupita, or that he had not seen strange things. But the tiny ticket in his hand bringing him to strange and rather expensive looking place? He sighed and looked around,"I wonder if there is ehny way to get home..."

Of course, at that moment a couple of tourists pass, mentions of money making Ze sweat a bit, "And without having to see a bill, caray."

b. ( you are cleared for launch; space mountain )

[ there is something depressingly ironic about being given a red magicband. keith isn't one to read too much into something, but he can't help but glare at the device wrapped around his wrist, pushing the sleeve of his beloved jacket up to his elbow.

you can take the space paladin out of space but you can't keep him away from the mountain. space mountain, that is. as a kid, he never indulged in outings to theme parks. it's all a foreign experience to him and it's wholly overwhelming even for someone who had been thrust into another life, another purpose in a matter of seconds. just because he followed an instinct.

with a set jaw and squared shoulders, he heads into the white domed building, lip curling into a half-smirk as he takes in the attempt at capturing outer space. this should be interesting. ]

c. ( i am your host, your ghost; haunted mansion )

[ well, whatever has brought him here, whatever is keeping him here, has at least offered an opportunity to pass the time. his first shift is loading people onto doom buggies. his initial thought was that the whole thing was kind of hokey, but there is something. kind of cool about the mansion.

he doesn't have the elevator spiel memorized just yet, but he'll get there.

we suspect he had been chosen for this position because of his general demeanor and it doesn't hurt that he looks kind of dapper in the green butler uniform. it's kind of stiff, though, and you'll probably find him waiting outside the mansion during a lull in the day, scratching beneath his collar.

the frown on his face is in character, sure, but he's not exactly happy about sticking around here when he could be tending to far more important matters far, far away from here. ]

b. ride ze shoopuf?
[Tidus's favorite park is Animal Kingdom. It's full of beautiful, peaceful creatures, and the jungle feels the most like the place he should be, somehow. The creatures are like those he's familiar with, yet not. These gray shoopufs on the safari are called elephants, and no one rides them. Strange.

He rides the great coaster mountain of Everest as much as he can during the day, occasionally stopping to admire the animals, but he gets very quiet during the night time show. Those rainbow animal spirits, the floating flowers on the river. It's all painfully nostalgic.]

I wish we could've seen this together. Maybe...maybe someday.

[He sucks in a shaky breath, grounding himself.]

c. sphere shot

[He's a lifeguard at one of the pools. It's not the most exciting job (and it's a relief when it isn't), but it's what he's best at. When the guard station changes hands at the end of an uneventful shift, the fun begins.]

Watch this!

[He bounces a ball off the side of the deck with his feet, makes a show of balancing it on his nose, and after a silly little seal dance, bends to hand it off to the nearest child. He just remembers to flash an apologetic look to the incoming guard---but hey, they're here to make fun for the guests!]

d. a battle

Hey, stop!

[He's ended up a janitor today, somehow. Those blots are unsightly, and the park can't have that. Armed with nothing but a broom and his band, he charges into battle and taps the strange card...only to find that the blots do indeed stop where they are. Huh, weird. He tries to sweep them up quickly, but it's a new spell and weak---and therefore there's one jumping at his nice uniform soon enough.]

I thought we had a deal, Inky!

( so it's been mentioned elsewhere that he's only ever not been a theme park guy by dint of lack of exposure in his younger years — because honestly, when you look at this doofus, doesn't he just scream the touristy type to ride roller coasters until he pukes? — but that just means he gets to make up for it now, when it appears that there is nothing on his hands at the moment but time and he's kind of all about having limitless expanses of free time.

that being said.

he's heard about places like this, even if he hasn't gone so far as to visiting them on his own, but after walking around a bit he sees something that catches his eye, or perhaps more appropriately hears something that catches his ears. the sound of thrilled shrieking and a handful of splashes here and there draw him closer, and closer, until he's approaching the sign that gives over the name of the attraction and ushers willing participants inside. will he do it? does he dare?

ya damn right he dares. )

( okay so you know how useful this kid is outside of ( making a grand attempt at ) piloting whatever craft needs to be piloted, up to and including a space lion? he's no hunk, but food ( mainly desserts, okay ) have a tendency to rate rather high priority on his list, and being put in his current position is both well-fit and kind of … hilarious. honestly. ) Getcha churros! Fresh, hot and delicious, just like me! ( lance you're going to get fired. don't say shit like that out loud.

but no. seriously. he's at one of those mobile cart things that has a tendency to be right where you need it to be, and don't you want to try one? isn't the smell of cinnamon just so tantalizing that you can't resist anymore? come on, have a damned churro —

well. at least he isn't saying that out loud. )

Prompt C

[If she's going to be a part of the "real world," then Giffany is gonna make the most of her time here. Most people probably wouldn't enjoy working at a food stand, but she's sparkling with excitement. Her enthusiasm lands her the role of "sample girl," and she stands outside of the food stall to offer tastes to people passing by. At first she's happy to do it... but everyone is ignoring her. She hates being ignored. Her smile becomes forced, and she seems to be stuck in a loop.]

Would you like to try some Dole Whip? Would you like to try some Dole Whip? Would you like to try some Dole Whip? Would you like to try some Dole Whip? Would you like-

[Yeah she's gonna keep doing this until someone talks to her.]

Prompt D

[Overtime, her wristband has changed into a glittery, CMYK colored band, and Giffany loves it! It seems every day she's here, she gets a new charm for it too. The real world is so wonderful, isn't it?

However she's so busy staring at her band that she doesn't notice the inkblots sneaking up on her...]

~~[anyone here want some muppets? some fucking muppets??]~~

B

M-M-MEEP! Mee-mee-miii meep mii-mimii!!!!

[A very distressed looking... felt thing is being strapped into a ride against his will. At least, you think so. He certainly is protesting a lot, but you can't really understand a single world he's saying. Its just a bunch of meeping. And apparently the person running the ride doesn't understand it, either, or just doesn't care.

Do you want to interfere?]

Prompt B
[He'd been swept into a strange new world AND his sword had been confiscated along the way. That weapon meant a LOT to him darn it! You can't just take away a guy's heirloom sword that he'd JUST gotten upgraded. At first, as Jaune roams the park, he's a little sulky. However, it's hard to stay glum when you're in a place like the Magic Kingdom. They don't really HAVE places like this where he's from, but he knows it's the exact opposite of the kind of place that would attract Grimm. Jaune snags some dole whip and decides to just suck it up and enjoy himself for a little bit. What's the worse than can happen?

He thinks, as he misjudges the curb and goes tripping over...dropping his dole whip in the process. Luckily he manages NOT to go face first into the concrete, but the loss of the ice cream is almost worse.]

Aw man. That looked really good too.

Prompt D
[Jaune wasn't so oblivious as to miss that his band was changing to a white band with gold lines--a design similar to his armor and shield. There were a lot of things about this place that still made him curious, but so far he'd been accepting of them.
After all, any time he asked he never got good answers anyway.

He's in the middle of a lunch break in Fantasy Land when he notices the creatures.
For a split second he fears the Grimm have somehow gotten to this place as well. But, no, these creatures lack some of those distinct features. Jaune jumps up and watches as the ink blots start swinging from horse to horse on the merry-go-round.
They're startling children and it looks like their making a mess of the multi-colored horses to boot.]

Hey! Cut it out!

[They peer over at him and one of the creatures jerks forward, throwing some inky paint Jaune's way. The boy dodges, rolling out of the way, and when he pops back up he's somehow summoned a sword to his hand.]

Woah! Where'd that come from?

[No time for that now! More ink blots have decided to make Jaune a target and are throwing FOOD at him now. Jaune yelps, ducking the food, and then popping back up. These guys are nothing compared to Grimm, he smirks slightly.]

Okay. Now THIS I can handle.

WILDCARD

[Have something else in mind? Let me know.]

[A | out of her depth]
[When she comes to, Yui is extremely confused - this isn't her school, to be certain, and her Princesses, her best friends, are all missing. The wristband escapes her notice for a while, as she spins and tries to take in this place she's in. She's visibly trying very hard not to panic, and while she's holding it together admirably, that may not last.

Once some time passes, and she's gotten her bearings about her, she's a bit more subdued - she's in what is nominally a vacation spot? And she lives and works here now?? It's a lot to take in, and she seems to just wander aimlessly for a little bit. She'll be okay, but it'll take her a bit.]

[B | I'm going to- wait...]
[The girl that finally ends up in Epcot is sharply less stressed than she was before; a combination of explanations, some soul-searching, and a few deep breaths. The sunlight glints off her glasses as she cheerfully roams the World Showcase, a sketchbook slung under her arm as she moves from place to place. There's nothing quite like this place anywhere she's ever been, and she wants to get a feel for it if she's going to be here for a while... not to mention that it's a theme park and she wants to explore. Dressed casually with a light top, a conservative skirt, and her usual cold-weather beret atop her head, she blends in surprisingly well.

While she's content to draw for a bit during her nominal time off, eventually she has to rest, and she finds herself sitting on a bench in Japan with a cup of Dole Whip acquired from... somewhere? The sketchbook is against her side, and despite herself, she looks content. Like she isn't miles (light-years?) from home and without any idea of what to do from here.]

[C-1 | a different sort of art]
Okay, now smile!

[Somehow, Yui's artistic talent has translated into being tasked to take pictures of the guests. Once she takes a bit to understand the somewhat foreign camera that's pushed into her hands - a notable but not too challenging task, given she's used to pencils - and practiced for a bit before her shift begins proper, she's actually not too bad. Her shot composition is good, and her cheery disposition makes it easy enough to get everyone to settle down enough to take them. It's giving her more of a chance to experience the parks again, too, which she's not going to complain about.

Honestly, this is a pretty good gig? She's doing something at least related to her usual hobby, and she gets to see entertaining sights and lots of people. Things could be a lot worse! When she's idle, she snaps pictures anyway, just to practice - but that means anyone could be in the shot. Even you!]

[C-2 | a princess of a different sort]
[Yui is a bit more harried as she walks through Epcot, a young girl clutching her left hand and bravely trying not to cry. The expression in her eyes is serious, though, bordering on unusually determined. If she can find someone she can identify as a co-worker, she'll call out to them.]

Excuse me! This little girl's gotten separated from her parents. I'm staying with her until we can track them down, but can you give me a hand? I can't really search like this, and I'm not really tall enough to see over the crowds.

[Even at that much, the girl starts to shake a little bit, worried; Yui notices via the hand she's still holding, and turns back to her, crouching down. She speaks to the girl in a gentle voice, smiling softly.]

It'll be okay, for sure. I know it's scary, but someone is definitely looking out for you, now and always.

[wildcard]
[I'm up for anything! Yui is coming from after her canon, which doesn't mean much for her specifically but means she's not the wallflower she looks like. She's not much of a fighter - okay, not at all a fighter - but she'll work around it if she has to. ~~sorry this is long, I've been away from RP for a while so I had a lot to get out~~]
