TEST DRIVE MEME
 |
| Whet your whistle, try out the setting, and see who you want to bring to the party! Maybe you were showering, or sleeping, having breakfast. You might have been participating in your morning commute or fighting off a horde of zombies. Whatever you were in the middle of, a strange sensation of disconnection comes over you, as though you're watching your life on screen, a passive audience to the proceedings. It's almost like, well, being sucked down the drain like every adolescent nightmare, the feeling of disconnection replaced quickly with a pain so deep, it's as though every atom of your being is pressed too closely together, and your vision goes dark. Then, just as quickly as the pain came over it, it's gone, reality snapping back into place like a stretched rubber band. When your eyes adjust, you find yourself in a slightly spartan room, standing on a platform that seems to be made of glass or some sort of crystal. Energy currents in blues and greens swirl within it, dizzying and hypnotizing if stared at for too long. You're shocked from the vision by a cheery, bubbly voice that belongs to a petite brunette grinning at you from the base of the steps that lead down from the platform. She apologizes for any inconvenience you may have been caused, and hands you a small package, explaining that inside you'll find a phone, a directory of locations within the complex you've arrived in, a charge card with a balance of $500, and a key to a room in the dormitories which can be reached by following the green line on your directory. She apologizes again for how confusing this must all be, but assures you that everything will make sense soon! 01 ARRIVAL After receiving your mysterious package from the happy girl who identifies herself as Airy, she suggests you head out and explore! You find out pretty quickly, or have a lot of trouble figuring out, that you're in a vast underground complex that consists of a lot of areas the directory says are "RESTRICTED". Places you can access are listed as "Forest", "Rec Room", "Cafeteria", and "Dormitories". 02 FOREST Down a hallway across from a RESTRICTED area, a vast room filled with a living, breathing, underground forest can be found. Here, deep underground, the sun shines, a small creek flows, birds sing, and one could really believe they were outside. There's even a pleasant breeze! Weird, right? 03 REC ROOM On the opposite side of the complex, near the dormitories, one will find another vast room labeled "REC ROOM". Inside, there is a seating area with basic refreshments (water, sports drinks), board games, a more relaxed seating area with sofas and places to read, a separate room that contains exercise equipment, another with an indoor pool, and a small basketball court. In a separate game room, there are arcade machines, an air hockey table, pool table, and ping pong table. 04 CAFETERIA Across the main hall from the REC ROOM, one will find the double doors leading to the CAFETERIA. Outside, on a easel chalkboard, can be found the menu items available for the meal currently being served. Inside, several dozen tables and chairs take up most of the floor, and the din of conversation is comparable to a high school cafeteria. The older gentleman in the kitchen will come to the counter when approached to see which of the selection you'd like. We'd really recommend sticking to the offered selection. 05 DORMITORIES Situated in a wing complex near the REC ROOM and the CAFETERIA is the DORMITORY wing. Rooms are solo and very small, ten to a hallway, and contain a single bed, a small dresser with mirror, and a small standing closet. Each hall has a common room at the end with seating and a five shelf bookcase, off of which are male and female bathrooms with showers, and a laundry room with four washers and four dryers. 06 WILDCARD Start your own prompt! See what that phone can do, facilitate random encounters in any of the unrestricted areas! Go wild! Literally! |

Elena Michaels | Bitten
The wide range of new smells slammed against her senses and brought her quickly to her feet. She glared at the brown haired stranger and at anyone else around her. She didn't like the idea of suddenly being brought to a strange place, let alone caged. Her shoulders were tense and her thoughts drifted back to Stonehaven. It wasn't her concern, she shouldn't be worried; that's what she's going to keep telling herself.
She took the phone before turning and leaving the room. The stranger assured that things were okay but she was going to asses that herself.
02 FOREST
When Elena read the map she had been sceptical however the scent drifting through the halls washed away any doubt. She turned towards the door leading into the forest picking up the rich scents of the earth and wind trapped within the enclosed room. It was strange and definately something she'd check out though it wasn't the only thing to catch her attention.
There were strange, new, smells and she felt compelled to follow them.
She turned down the hall, ignoring any sign that it might be restricted. She wasn't very good at doing what she was told.
06 WILDCARD: Of the oh-fuck variety
[Warning: sorta gore-ish/nudity while she's shifting/possible dangers since she's freaking out.]
The forest, this place, the panic that rooted inside of her began to stir. She had been calm for the first few hours but learning that she's underground, that she's trapped here. It was hard to keep her emotions steady. She's had practice remaining calm and controlling her change but it wasn't enough.
She doubled over in the middle of the hall, screaming as pain jolted through her body. Her muscles and bones began to shift uncomfortably beneath her skin. Her fingers shortened and snapped while her palm began to elongate into a paw.
"Not now!" Elena cursed and then screamed again, falling to the floor as she fought with the half of herself that she wished she could make disappear.
06
Being more animal than man, nudity never bothered him and the fatherly instinct of a pack leader took over as he moved to the girl's side, not reaching out in comfort, not yet, but his voice is soft and comforting.]
Hey, kiddo, take it easy. Breathe. Relax. My name's Gus. I'm sort of like you. There's no reason to be afraid.
06
What is-
Her thoughts blank as pain shoots through her spine. Her wrists snap and her legs begin to shorten. Elena quickly removes her dress, her fingers shaking as she tries to disrobe.
She screams again and Gus can hear the uncomfortable shifting and cracking of bone and muscle. Her nose begins to elongate into a muzzle, her teeth sharpening as hands are replaced by paws. His change has never been painful and he'd probably never seen a change as horrible as this.
Fighting it, only makes it worse.]
06
Just let it out, kiddo. The wolf's a part of you.
06
The same bright blue eyes stare up at Gus, a small whimpering noise echoing from her muzzle.]
06
See? Nothing to be scared of.
06
The wolf wants to run.]
06
Sorry, kiddo. We can't leave. Not yet.
06
Her paws scrape at the polished floor trying to make her way around Gus to bolt down the hallway.]
06
06
Her feet take her swiftly along the trees and grassy roots only to be stopped by a large white wall. A growl echoes from her lips and she turns, running again, hoping to find the exit.
Elena's thoughts are panicked, to panicked to realize that they are still inside.]
06
He'd wait until she talked down.]
06
Her jaw snaps up at him but the motions are playful. After a second she calms down and stares up at him from the flat of her back.]
