TEST DRIVE MEME

[behind_the_box]

Starting now, we'll put up a new one of these very month! Feel free to use the current setting of Pandora (Christmas in July) or make up your own! You can also use the following scenarios if you'd prefer:

1. Mushroom Kingdom

Have you ever wanted to be a fairy? Well now you are, even if the answer was no! The City is a big, big place, all of a sudden. Houses are roomy affairs inside giant mushrooms, there are colorful flowers everywhere you look, and the animals are always friendly! Unfortunately, the only food items being sold in the market this month are fruit, fruit, and.... more fruit.

2. School Town

You may be too old to attend the academy, but that doesn't seem to matter; your attendance is mandatory anyway. Or perhaps you're there to teach, because you're the only resident of Pandora that possesses a certain skill. It doesn't matter if it can't be learned; you have to come up with a lesson plan anyway. At least the uniforms aren't some god awful color, right?

3. Zombie Apocalypse.

There's no coming back from death in Pandora, so you'd better do all you can to survive. Three quarters of the city are already infected, and this is the last stand. Are you going to pool your resources and try to make it together, or is it time to stop trusting others and go it alone until the month is over?

Not true! There are plenty of fruits that are very high in protein, and the body will absorb that protein better than it will from meats! Which is not to say that I am dissing on meat, because I like meat a lot, but I'm just saying, fruit has its merits. Even if that is not actually what I'm looking to eat right now, but oh well!

[she blinks a few times at the beastman remark though.]

Beastman? What's that?

[fureverscrewed]

Fruit doesn't have the right protein, then.

[NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO MEAT. He does look slightly disappointed at the question, though.]

You aren't, then. Never mind.

[hortus]

It has enough protein to sustain someone! But I would get tired of only eating fruit; it's like only eating cake, but at least fruit is much healthier!

[she still looks so intrigued by the concept of "Beastman", whatever that is.]

No, no, what is a beastman? I have never heard of that before! [her ears give a twitch, and she blinks expectantly at viral.]

[fureverscrewed]

I don't know what this "cake" is.

[But if it's like fruit, he doesn't want it.]

A beastman is... me. I'm a beastman.

[Not the most useful answer, but it's answer enough that she might stop asking.]

[hortus]

You've never had cake?

[jade is just scandalized!]

Okay, so...you are a beastman.

[she just leans in to sniff him, getting all up in his personal space.]

But you smell like a fish! And a cat. Are you a fish that ate a cat or a cat that ate a fish?

[fureverscrewed]

[WOW, RUDE. Viral backs away, sputtering and offended.]

Don't just come sniffing at people like that, it's poor manners!

[Her question is so absurd it doesn't even deserve an answer.]

[hortus]

But I'm trying to figure out what you smell like! I've never smelled anything like you before!

[cat who ate a fish or fish who ate a cat, come on, viral, out with it!!!]

[fureverscrewed]

I smell like a beastman! I didn't eat a cat or a fish, you-- you mutt!

[Hiiiiissssssssssss]

[hortus]

Hey! I am not a mutt! [HUFF!]

You...you cat! [WOOF]

[fureverscrewed]

Looks like a mutt, smells like a mutt, acts like a mutt, but denies being a mutt? Who do you think you're fooling?

[SNARL!!]

[hortus]

I don't look like a mutt! I look like a Jade!

[because that's who she is, and now you're the one being rude, viral!]

[fureverscrewed]

If you'd like to insist you look like a rock, I'm not about to stop you.

[Hey, she deserves it.]

[hortus]

Hey! I don't look like a rock! That's my name, you jerk!

[cats are always rude, the end.]

[fureverscrewed]

A dog named after a rock? How creative.

[She started it!]

[hortus]

Yeah, well, what are you supposed to be?

[no way! all she did was smell him!]

[fureverscrewed]

I'm a beastman, I told you that.

[About as bright as he'd expect, for a dog.]

My name is Viral.

[hortus]

Okay, you said that, but I have never heard of a beastman before, so that doesn't help me at all.

[what the fuck is a beastman, viral, come on.]

More like Fishbreath.

[fureverscrewed]

I don't understand how that's possibl-- fish breath?! I am not a fish breath!

[hortus]

Then what is a beastman?! You haven't explained it at all, and you still smell weird!

[fishbreath. heheheh.]

[fureverscrewed]

A beastman is a person created by the Spiral King to eradicate humans!
