TEST DRIVE SEPTEMBER EDITION

TEST DRIVE
Welcome to Ryslig's test drive meme! If you're considering apping here, this is where you can try your characters out in the game's setting. A few things to note:

  • You can only app ONE character per round so choose wisely.
  • We now have a Quick Game Facts that simplifies the basic information about the game. Good if you want to see what the game is at a glance!
  • Ryslig's FAQ is located here, so please take a look if you have questions.
  • The reserve date is 9/26.
  • Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
  • Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 6 coins by replying to potential character threads! You cannot use this to go over the bonus 20 coins per month total, but you can use it to reach that coin total. Same rules as normal bonuses apply.

Sample scenarios:
SCENARIO ONE: So you've just arrived, fresh out of the hospital, and already the natives are trying to get on your good side. Offers of food, shelter and other luxuries in return for hoping you don't eat them. They even have some helpful pamphlets to share with you. "How To Deal With Changes", "Alternatives to Human Flesh", "What to Expect When You're Expecting (to turn into a monster)" are all great pamphlets. There's even some detailing certain monsters, and the changes they go through. Some of these seem to have been passed down from one monster to the next.

Among these however, are some... not so helpful ones. "Bunnyipyips And You", "Axe Thief Axehounds," and "So you're becoming a Fur Bearing Trout" among others. Sometimes they have marks on them from previous people who had them saying they are lies, or pointing out good "jokes."

SCENARIO TWO: You've become hopelessly lost in Lager Woods. Paths don't seem to lead where you remember them leading, and you feel as if you're going around in circles. Childlike giggling can be heard from no direction in particular. Suddenly, you stumble upon another character, who seems to be just as lost as you! Perhaps you can find a way out together. Or maybe they want you for lunch...

SCENARIO THREE: The time has come and you've found yourself becoming a monster. Is the change instant, or gradual? Are you familiar enough with monsters to know what's happening, or is it a complete shock? NOTE: Feel free to pick any monster type for this prompt, but note that you may not get the same one in game.

SCENARIO FOUR (New):The claws, the fangs, the pangs of hunger - horrible as they all are, it's manageable given enough time and perseverance. Local monster hunters, though, not so much.

Maybe it started with a few wayward glances on the outskirts of town, critical stares and disapproving whispers, or just the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever it was, deserved or entirely unprovoked, you're being hunted: a handful of aggressive, well-armed humans doggedly chase your trail throughout city streets and out into the open, and if you're not careful (if you don't find help soon) you might wind up as the next trophy kill claim on one of those hunter's walls.

[Crow just happens to be passing by when Sawatari mentions Duels, and raises an eyebrow. Oh? A duelist? He's run into a few of them from different worlds, and it's pretty clear it's the same card game, just with different cards and slightly different rules. Interesting stuff.

Approaching Sawatari!]


Hey! You're talking about Duel Monsters, right? What's this about Action Duels?
abysmalactor: (arrogant confidence)

okay but who doesn't love sawatari

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-19 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Crow!

[Feral grin. Time to show what he's got! But, hold up...]

Haaah, "what's this about Action Duels?" You've already participated in one! Combining it with your city's Riding Duel, it made for a nailbiting performance that swept the crowds off their feet!

[Beat.]

It still wasn't nearly as much as mine's, of course, but it was good for a first try!

[You know. Even though you won yours and he lost his.]
cawnviction: (don't blow your load all at once)

people not papa sawatari OH

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-19 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Crow raises an eyebrow. It's not so surprising that people know his name after winning the WRGP, but he has no idea what this guy's talking about. A nerve in his cheek twitches at the declaration that he didn't perform well (or rather, as good as this guy).]

Huh!? Hold up, I haven't been in any Action Duels. I would know!

[Especially if they combined it with Riding Duels. No one changes the rules around Riding Duels without telling the highway patrol, geez. And no one can mistake Crow the Bullet for someone else! Unless they happen to have met AU him whose icons I'm using because Arc-V is pretty Crow jabs a finger in Sawatari's direction.]

Who are you? How do you know me?

[Crow mirrors Sawatari's feral grin.]

If you're so good, then you better show me what you've got in a Duel!

[This guy surely has his deck on him, right? ...right!?]
abysmalactor: (neo new sawatari san!)

HEY. THE AUDIENCE LOVES HIM AND THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-19 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Well then, you must have let Gongenzaka rattle you too many times in that seat-you definitely participated in a Riding Action Duel! In front of the whole city, even!

[arc-v crow is prettier than 5d's crow tbh

Sawatari gets up and jabs a thumb into his chest.]

The real question is: how do you not know me, the great Sawatari Shingo, ace duelist of the Lancers! My Sawatari Theater will leave you spellbound when we show you what a real Action Duel looks like!
cawnviction: (mighty big for your britches)

until EXIT STAGE LEFT

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-20 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[so true]

Gongenzaka?

[Who the hell is that!?

Crow's grin slowly widens. This guy has a pretty big ego on him, doesn't he? He'd pay good money to see him and Jack have at it. Crow raises his hands in an overdramatic shrug.]


Obviously wasn't that good, if I've forgotten it already!
abysmalactor: (arrogant confidence)

WAIT UNTIL HE COMES BACK FOR THE ENCORE DAMMIT

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-20 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
You know, that other Lancer you dueled. Big guy, talks kinda old-fashioned, uses only monsters-

[WELL EXCUSE YOU, SIR.]

Hmph! I'll just have to remind you, then! I'll burn the memory so deep in your mind you'll be dreaming of Sawatari Theater for days!
cawnviction: (fine i'll deal with jack)

and then get overshadowed by Yus??

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-20 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope, doesn't ring a bell at all. Weird. Crow folds his arms.]

I'm telling you, I've never heard of you, Gongenzaka, or these Lancers! [Exasperated.] Sheesh, never thought I'd find someone as thick-headed as Jack.

[Unfolding his arms, he continues--]

You've got your deck with you, right?

[What good Duelist doesn't?? But this is Ryslig.]
abysmalactor: (oh god what)

to be fair, he did pretty well in overshadowing yuuya last episode

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-20 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? But that's impossible! You definitely-

[Oh right. Deck, deck, deck. They can settle this in a duel!]

Of course! We'll settle this right no-

[He reaches for his deck pouch and...it's empty. Empty!]

-oooooaaaah! Ah? Ah? Aaaahh?

[School uniform, pockets, underwear...it's all turning up empty as he feels for the familiar shape of his deck.]
cawnviction: (you're into that kind of thing?)

hopefully one day arc-v will let him have the spotlight AND win a duel

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-20 07:43 am (UTC)(link)
[WHOA DUDE OK Crow did not need to see this guy check his undies. He only accepts that sort of nonsense from his kids, and that was only when they were too young to know better. But he can't resist teasing--]

Is this the Duelling of Sawatari Theatre? Looks like a pretty fun dance you're doing there!

[Ok but for reals, he knows how much a deck means to a Duelist. He stretches and rests his hands behind his head.]

If you've lost your deck, I'm willing to postpone our match. It's a pain, but there's a horse guy who can get your deck back for you.
abysmalactor: (oh ew)

please arc-v i beg u

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-20 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
H-haha! Such childish displays are something you'd only see from Sakaki's Entertainment Dueling!

[Even so, a comical crying expression can be seen on his face as he sinks back into his chair.]

Uugh...it must have been in my duel disk...
cawnviction: (nice work)

spoilers: it'll be the very last episode

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-20 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Crow strides over and claps Sawatari on the shoulder in both sympathy and solidarity amongst Duelists. Chin up, buddy!]

Why don't you tell me about these Action Duels?

[Because that was kind of the entire reason he approached this guy in the first place! He jabs a finger at his temple, grinning.]

Maybe I don't remember any of that stuff after taking one too many spills on my D-Wheel.

[A likely story!]
abysmalactor: (the perfect finish)

a riveting duel between him and yuuya that draws the audience into the performance itself!

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-20 02:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sawatari sniffles comically before straightening up at the question.]

Right! You've come to the right man, Crow! I'll teach you all there is to know about the wide world of Action Duels!
cawnviction: (welcome back)

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-21 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Good, good.]

Hold on.

[Don't mind Crow briefly wandering off to grab a chair and a delicious sandwich off Shingo's native provided food table. Dragging it over, Crow turns it backwards and plonks himself onto it, leaning on the back of the chair while he munches his food.]

Okay teacher. Now I'm ready to learn about Action Duels!

[This is not the picture of a respectful student.]
abysmalactor: (the perfect finish)

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-21 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
[To Sawatari's delusions, you look like the model student!]

Okay, okay! Now, the thing that really got Action Duels started was Solid Vision technology! These made it possible to not only produce real solid monsters, but Action Fields as well! Those are the basis of Action Duels!
cawnviction: (these nerds have lost me)

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-21 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[:O]

"Real solid monsters"?

[Crow takes another bite of his sandwich before making a vague gesture with his free hand.]

Are you saying people can touch the monsters?
abysmalactor: (Default)

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-21 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Touch them, run alongside them, even ride them if they so wish~! It's a new brand of duel that brings duelist and monster together in one grand performance!
cawnviction: (mighty big for your britches)

[personal profile] cawnviction 2015-09-22 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Crow makes general noises of interest but lbr he's also kind of stuffing his face here. He's not one to pass a chance at free food, you know?

Swallowing, he says--]


If the monsters are solid, doesn't that get dangerous?

[Not that he actually minds the danger, but Dueling shouldn't have to be a life or death thing. He can't help but think of the Earthbound Gods.]

You don't look the type to enjoy getting messed up.
abysmalactor: (gonna aim for your heart)

[personal profile] abysmalactor 2015-09-22 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
The danger is part of the thrill, you know? A good Action Duelist uses that to their full advantage to keep the audience on their seats! It's not a good performance if you don't leave them hanging for at least a little, right?

[Haha! Don't underestimate him! Or at least his ability to puff up and act like the thought of physical injury doesn't scare him. Much.]
