progress city test drive #2
| Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow And Fantasy. Welcome to Progress City's second 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! Reserves for next cycle open on April 8th! | |||
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! | |||
Vivian | Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
[ If this shadow demon is going to panic about the abrupt change in scenery, she's going to do it where no one can see her. And I do mean no one can see her. Shadow travel is neat like that.
Once she's calmed herself down, she looks for the nearest person/animal/robot or whatever that she can see also has one of those weird bands. And tries to address them from her still-invisible location. ]
Um... excuse me. Over here.
[ An invisible person calling out from a darker, less-traveled location. Surely not suspicious. ]

[ Ok, so... Vivian's come to accept her current situation, sort of. She's never done anything for herself before (even deciding to help Mario was a gesture of gratitude), but if her sisters aren't around... it's okay, right?
Having just come out of the Creepy Steeple, the Haunted Mansion is familiar enough territory that she gravitates towards that one.
And coming out of the ride, she seems... lovestruck? As Vivian heads back into Liberty Square, she can be heard remarking: ] She's so beautiful...
A
Helllllooooo? Any creepy crawlies in here?

[ She emerges from a tiny dark spot on the ground, pressing her fingers together nervously. ]
Just wanted to see if there was anyone else with one of these [ showing the MagicBand ] who had answers as to, well, what's going on.
no subject
Oh, that's a shame, its been a while since I've seen someone particularly fearsome. [She waggles her fingers in a "spoooooooky" fashion.]
Well, I don't know if I had all the answers, but I'm always happy to provide knowledge. All knowledge is good knowledge you know.

Ohhhhh boy. Look, you gotta stay away from her! She's kind of, um, really deadly with an axe.
