progress city test drive #3
.jpg)
| 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 are always open! | |||
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. | |||
| Prompt E Every now and again, the city will host a Festival! Progress City prides itself in making festivals with great food and drink, and will happily let its citizens enjoy it for a nice discount! You can either look up examples of Disney festival treats or make up some yourself, but rest assured, everything you order will be simply amazing. If you're not too busy getting drunk to stand, there are also other events you can participate in! There are also small events your character can participate in! In this hypothetical festival, your character can take a cooking class, attend a seminar to learn basic magic tricks (with real magic!), or try out a fancy new VR game where you fight against other players as giant robots. | |||
| Wildcard As always, feel free to come up with your own scenario if none of these inspire you! | |||
Simon Blackquill | Ace Attorney- Dual Destinies
[It's hard to rest easy when you've got a literal death sentence hanging over you. Simon is no stranger to sleepless nights. To staring at the ceiling or floor of his prison cell, contemplating That Incident Seven Years Ago. To wondering how Athena is doing.
Only a few more days until his execution. Deep down, he's terrified. But more importantly- once he's dead, Athena will be safe. She won't have a reason to continue prying at the scab of her mother's death, she won't have a reason to uncover the horrible truth of the matter- finally, justice will be done.
Simon blinks. There's a ticket on the floor. A ticket that certainly wasn't there a moment ago. Confused, he shuffles around on his cot, leaning over to grab it-
Aaaaand now he's in knockoff Disney World. Simon bites back a sharp gasp, looking around wildly.]
What the bloody hell just happened...?
A-2
[You may be approached by a very imposing man over six feet tall with heavy duty handcuffs and chains clinking merrily against his wrists. His eye bags have bags, he looks like he hasn't smiled in half a decade, and could probably snap someone like a toothpick if he felt so inclined.]
Excuse me. How do I leave this place? I need to get back to my bird.
[At least he's polite.]
B
[Somehow, someway, he's got Taka back. The hawk is perched on his shoulder as Simon lovingly scratches at his pinfeathers, whispering affectionate words to him.
By the way, he's currently strapped into a roller coaster. After a moment, he holds out his hand, commanding Taka to step up. He looks over at one of the ride attendants, all traces of affection entirely gone.]
You, there. Are there any accommodations available for my dear Taka? He wishes to partake in this ride, as well.
[By the way, good luck if you happen to get stuck sitting next to Simon on this ride. You'll have a hawk staring you down, unblinking, talons upsettingly close to your face. And his master is just as threatening a presence.]
a-2 i need those app samples
Throwin' yourself at one'a them portals oughta do it. If you try it enough times.
no subject
And what exactly are you supposed to be? An attempt to addle the weak minded fools partaking in this park? Tell me, are you a projection? An animatronic?
no subject
[He's spent the last year or so pretending to be some sort of technology for the night tours, so. Sure? He's fine with bullshitting this guy about it. But he doesn't really get what either of those things are so he doesn't really confirm one or the other. They're probably interchangeable things anyways.]
What're you supposed to be? 'Cause ya look like a clown from where I'm standin'.
no subject
Simon sneers, laying one hand on the back of the bench. The handcuffs connecting his hands are in full view.]
I am a prosecutor, and a murderer. I suggest you cut the bull and tell me truthfully where I must go to leave this place.
no subject
[He's so fuckin unimpressed but he'll give him a straightforward answer anyways, or at least as much as he knows (which isn't a lot). The news is accompanied with an understated shrug.]
Can't leave if you've got that band on your wrist. Portals don't work right.
[He raises his own arm to indicate the magic band.]
no subject
I slaughtered my own mentor in cold blood with a samurai sword. And I was barely a week away from my execution date when I found myself in this place.
Now, while I doubt your "portal" story is accurate, I will believe that these bands have something to do with this. I had never seen it before entering this place. How do I remove this accursed thing.
b
[UUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
I don't think this ride is actually.... safe... for birds. Maybe just leave him with me?
no subject
[It's hard to tell the bird's expression, since he's a fucking hawk, but the bird looks proud and not at all stressed by the weird machinery and loud noises everywhere.]
no subject
[not gonna go into detail about That to a stranger though]
Plus, how do you even know for sure that he wants to ride? Can you speak bird or something?
no subject
And right now, his wish is to ride Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.
no subject
no subject
Second of all, we are on this roller coaster because he wants to ride this roller coaster specifically.
no subject
Secondly............... [why does this guy have to be so difficult about this!!!] ..... uh, Taka? Is that his name? He doesn't meet the minimum height requirement to ride.
no subject
[So there.]
no subject
Okyouknowwhat.
[this guy is really fucking annoying so she's petty as HELL and going to. literally grab the hawk and make that coaster GO.
and just sorta wait til blackquill comes back around in a minute or two while praying this hawk doesn't kill her in the meantime]
no subject
YOU- how dare-
[But before he can struggle his way out of the ride, it sets off, leaving Mae with a very angry hawk. Before Mae even grabbed him, Taka began shrieking an alarm call, and he ain't letting up any time soon.
The bird wriggles in Mae's grip, but so long as she keeps a hand on his legs and braces him to her chest, he can't push his wings out.
He's looking up at Mae with wide eyes, his beak slightly parted open and his head feathers up- he almost looks offended.]
