TEST DRIVE MEME

[behind_the_box]

And here's the opening for our first Test Drive Meme! Pick from the following scenarios, or feel free to create your own setup!

1. The Future of the 80s
What is this, an episode of the Jetsons? Buildings are shaped like flying saucers, foods can be found in little nutrient pills of various flavors, and holograms have replaced most forms of entertainment-related technology. Be wary of any glowing beverages, and the Management apologizes if you find yourself with any cybernetic body parts. Sometimes the surgery records get mixed up.

2. Rotten apple
Someone ate something they shouldn't have. The world is such a strange place, it's hard to say what's safe and what isn't. But that fruit looked so good, you just couldn't resist, could you? Too bad nobody warned you that side-effects may include odd behavior, hallucinations, temporary physical changes, or queasiness.

3. Are you afraid of the dark?
It's well past your curfew, shouldn't you go home? Even the moon and stars are hiding at this hour. There's nothing out here but you and the luna moths hovering by the street lamps. So who said that? Did you see something move out of the corner of your eye? That's your friend you just bumped into, right? ...Right?

4. It's a dog's life
Or a duck's, or a snake's, or a bat's. Pandora is a safari and you are now a critter. Better hope you're high on the food chain or that your friends can ignore the urge to eat you. While this place is such a zoo, you can bet someone will be up to fowl play.

*Follows along dutifully! And hey, getting involved in stuff is totally awesome.* Sounds like it. Well, could be worse, right? Least we're stuck somewhere interesting!

*Indeed, as they walk, Komachi seems to be paying attention to her surroundings--but probably not in the way Eiki meant. Her attentiveness seems to be more a result of plain curiosity than anything else.*

Interesting is one way to describe this place. I would call it concerning. However, there seems to be some sort of aura to this place...

[sleepslikethedead]

Concerning? Well, the part about us not bein' able to leave, yeah. But the town itself seems pretty lively! And it's not like anyone's attacked us or anything, right?

[fateofyears]

We should remain cautious. [ ... ] Lively is not one way I would describe this place. There is something rather unsettling about the entire setting.
