TEST DRIVE: NOVMEMEBER (get it because it's a meme)

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 11/27.
  • 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: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.

[Chris is making a mental note to himself to never, ever agree to travel with strange spooky guys with really big hates ever again. Note to self. If the chance comes up, say no. He's sat there, rather awkwardly while Col has gone on what seems like a crazy-person-tangent but might not be, he's honestly not sure.

He shifts a little uncomfortably, trying to hide it as an attempt to get warm.

Uh. Hey, it's okay man. You...helped plenty? I mean, if I was on my own, I'd be way more lost than this, so. Yeah.

[personal profile] unknots 2015-11-16 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
If I had helped you then you wouldn't be lost at all.

[Is there an airy equivalent of... wooden?]

It is going to be cold, tonight.

[Speaking of not helpful!]
wayleadsontoway: (If you forget how to smile)

[personal profile] wayleadsontoway 2015-11-17 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, trust me, I'd have been lost. I can get lost in a paper bag, with or without anyone's help.

[He glances skyward, considers.]

...Well. It could be worse. It's not gonna snow, right?

[personal profile] unknots 2015-11-17 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
[It would have to be an uncommonly big bag! But he doesn't say that -- not before Chris gives a look upward, and he looks up after. Are you looking for something...?

And he keeps looking. Like he should be able to find some trace of an answer.]


I can't tell

-- Somebody told me, that... the harpies can! [A light lift - like a bit o' humbly offered, fascinating trivia.] Do you want to try to find one...?
wayleadsontoway: (Remember it once in a while)

[He really has to explain staring into space for no reason to Cole someday. Mental note made.

At the offer, he waves his hands in a panicked 'no!' gesture.
]

Noooo. No. We don't need any harpies here. I'll risk the chance of snow.

[personal profile] unknots 2015-11-18 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Any? Really? He was going to just say that he's sorry he's not a harpy...! Silly Cole!]

-- You would risk it anyway. I haven't found a way to make the snow stop. Ever...

But you are good with the cold...!

[It's dreamy and actually... exploratory. He'd be able to sense that, and now, he's not even inferring; he's making a leap of faith. But... could it be...?]
wayleadsontoway: (If it's for real)

[personal profile] wayleadsontoway 2015-11-19 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[That IS a little spooky. Let's MARCH ON through this conversation and pretend everything is fine and not, in fact, spooky at all. ]

It's a refined skill I call 'wearing many layers'. Works a charm.

[That's totally what Cole was talking about, right right. ]
