progress city test drive #2



TEST DRIVE MEME
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!

[Tavish waves goodbye to the weird talking dog, straightening out the custom t-shirt pile. He then notices Kermit still standing there.]

Aye, yes, can I help you?

Wh- Wha-... That's- that's Kermit the Gorf??... That's weird.

[He watches Kermit the Gorf leave, not noticing Tavish watching him until he speaks. The question catches Kermit off guard.]

Uh- I, I told you, I'm Kermit the Frog, and I ordered a "Kermit the Frog" T-shirt.
scottishcyclops: (aye)

[personal profile] scottishcyclops 2018-05-10 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a hot one, someone else just walked outta here with one of those.

[He digs through the pile of custom t-shirts again, and pulls out a "KERMIT THE FORG" t-shirt.]

Here it is, yer Kermit the Frog t-shirt.

scottishcyclops: (squint)

[personal profile] scottishcyclops 2018-05-10 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[...Isn't this that Plankton guy with the fake eyepatch?

Hm. Might be a guy with one of those disguise cards. Who is he to turn down a customer?]


Aye, sir, here is your t-shirt. And thank you.

[Demo hands over the t-shirt to Kermit the Forg, Not Plankton.]
andbegone: (09)

[personal profile] scottishcyclops 2018-05-10 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
My, that's two other people who've asked for that.

[He pulls out a "KERMIT THE GROF" t-shirt from out of the pile.]

Here it is, a Kermit the Frog t-shirt.

[WHY DOES THIS GUY LOOK SO MUCH LIKE DOCTOR HONEYDEW... Nah it has to be a coincidence. Dr. Honeydew isn't that ripped.]

Yeah, well, take your T-shirt and get outta here!

[personal profile] muppetlabs 2018-05-11 01:00 am (UTC)(link)

Uh. Alright then.

[Bunsen sorta just gives Mr. Demoman a befuddled expression as he picks up the shirt. Even though this muppet has no gotdamn eyes.]
scottishcyclops: (huh)

[personal profile] scottishcyclops 2018-05-14 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Demoman waves goodbye to the strange green man and turns his attention back to the frog. He seems surprised to still see Kermit standing there.]

...Now, what cannae do for ya, sir?

[What Is He Supposed To Do]

[Demoman turns to yell towards the back--]

OY! HARRY! WHAT ABOUT THAT KERMIT THE FROG T-SHIRT?

[Demoman turns back to address Kermit.]
