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! | |||

[Pete leans back, adjusting his tie ever so slightly.]
I know, I know, rumors can be harsh sometimes, but...rumors do tend to be based upon the truth. And I, for one, would never want a furry as mayor. Just think of the children!
no subject
...You're a cat. You are by definition a furry.
no subject
Such horrible accusations! Why, how could you even think to compare me to those...those weirdos? Pretending to be toons when they're not...it's bizarre!
...But you, my dear ex-mayor, yes, YOU have been accused of walking about on all fours, covered in fur! Is that not furry behavior?
no subject
Okay, I'm sorry, can we take a step back here? Just two seconds. Having fur isn't. Exclusive. To-- look, I'm just not seeing the whole connection between toons and furries.
no subject
[He scowls. Obviously.] Honestly, the disregard you have for toons in a city that was built on their backs--you oughta be ashamed of yourself!
[Is he being serious? Is he just trying to goad Plankton? We may never know.]
no subject
[See he can be purposefully difficult too, they can do this shit all day if they have to.]
And you did not have anything to do with building this city. I don't think any of you did.
no subject
[Two unstoppable forces meet. What happens? This.]
Well, that's just typical! Of course Mr. Serling never told you all about the rich history of toons. Leave a robot to teach the citizens of this city, huh?
[He leans in close to whisper to Plankton:] Have you ever heard of the name Mickey Mouse?
no subject
[he's going to throw a fucking encyclopedia at his head
He doesn't actually have any commentary on Rod because. Well. He's not his biggest fan. But also he doesn't want to give Pete the satisfaction of agreeing with him, so instead he leans back when he's whispered to.]
Uh, no. I haven't.
no subject
[His grin stretches across his whole face. Forget debating about humans, talking about toons is much more exciting! Especially about someone who's never heard of Mickey Mouse!]
Mickey Mouse is Disney's most beloved toon star, and this place is based off of Disney World, is it not? Lotsa people say that if it weren't for Mickey, there wouldn't be no Disney. But they's forgetting that I've been around for longer than Mickey has! Heck, I was even busy botherin' his lil' brother, Oswald, before he got the boot! If anything, it's me who's helped build this city, not him. Every hero needs a villain, and if I hadn't been playing my part, Mickey would've never taken off!
[He crosses his arms, looking smug.] So, really, I'm the best choice for mayor, being both a founding toon and the people's best friend.
no subject
Mickey Mouse? What, like it's that hard to play villain to a mouse? Pfft. Please. Bragging about how old you are isn't actually going to win any favors, you know. And it definitely doesn't make you the people's best friend.
no subject
Please, I'd like to see you last just as long in show biz! And perhaps the people'll change their minds after I buy them all FREE DOLE WHIP FOR LIFE!
[He turns to yell that out to the crowd. A few people cheer.]
