JANUARY TEST DRIVE 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 01/29.
• 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.

Comments

RUN! ...and show off some of that parental-pon side :U

[blurspot]

[Ghosts are not what are floating around these woods-and if they were, they probably wouldn't be interested in the panicked man running around waving a stick above his head.

For all that Reira knows those sorts of things, what he does not seem able to predict is the fact that a scared man with a stick might run in his direction, despite his size and crouched position in the bushes.]

Mnfp-H!

[Congratulations. You tripped over a child.]

[nyapakapow]

OOOOFFFFF!

[Riki falls flat on his face and eats dirt, and not in the good way. However, Riki is a tough nopon, and immediately he sits up and he turns to face the small child.]

Hey! Why you do that to Riki? Owww!

[soft_focus]

[Thaaat's gonna be a lot of dirt.

And a rather irritated child.]

...You did that. [Don't you dare blame him for tripping on...him. YEAH.]

[nyapakapow]

[It's stuck in his beard.

... And in his mouth. It doesn't taste good so he's still trying to spit it out.]

Littlehom shouldn't talk back like that! [Read: He knows he's in the wrong, he won't admit it]

... Littlehom shouldn't be in forest either. What is littlehom doing here?

[soft_focus]

[These are all very very good questions, to be met with an equally key one.]

...Littlehom..?

[wat]

[nyapakapow]

You are littlehom. Small Homhom, yes?

[He emphasises it by sitting up and pats Reira on the head.]

[soft_focus]

[A frown is your answer.] ...'M a wendigo.

...I've never heard of a 'homhom'.

[nyapakapow]

Homhom is you. With two legs and tall and homhom looking. It make senses. You homhom wendigo. Riki is turned into homhom. Understand?

[Beat.]

Why is wendigohom here?

[blurspot]

[???!!!???] ...I'm not tall though... [Your logic is flawed, sir-

Anyway.]

...I hunt things here. [...Let that sink in a moment.]

[nyapakapow]

You are taller than nopon, and you look like a hom. It makes sense.

[Sure...]

Hunt? Like for food? By yourself? But forest is big and spooky!

[soft_focus]

[To that, he just shakes his head.] ...I don't think I look like a 'hom'. [Homs do not have feathery wings and fluffy tails, nope. Whatever it is at least.]

There's lots of food here; like rabbits... ...and deer...

[And he's hungry bro-]

...It's not scary.

[nyapakapow]

[He knows you're a hom...]

Then what are you?

[Riki stares blankly at the menu selection...]

... Have a bit for Riki? If you say forest no scary, maybe not. Especially with food. Riki help friend catch food!

[soft_focus]

[Blink.] ...I told you that.

[And then you added hom! Terrible manners, he's sure.

The skepticism is strong with this one to say the least though.] ...Are you sure.. ..?

[nyapakapow]

Wendigo! That right! Riki knew that?

[Riki no]

Of course! Riki like food. Food better with friends to eat together with, yes. So Riki help catch small animals and gobble smack!

[soft_focus]

You said wendihom though... [SKEPTICISM INCREASES...

...But well. That is true. So he thinks it over and...]

...How do you hunt? [If they're gonna hunt, they need to compare notes. Because you, sir, are clearly not a deer.]

[nyapakapow]

Riki has big stick. He sneaks up and battles and then takes meat!

[soft_focus]

[He caught that change of subject, you bearded stranger-]

...So like hide and seek.. ..?

[nyapakapow]

[You did ask him! He followed the natural progression of the conversation!]

Yes! Monsters hide and Riki goes and eats the monster!

[soft_focus]

[.....................................]

...but wendigo are...

[suddenly he has a new opinion of big and bearded-]

[nyapakapow]

Wendigos... are monsters? Really? Since when?

[soft_focus]

Since always.. ..?

[Did you not get the news sir? That's what it feels like.]

E...Everyone here...

...Everyone that appears here turns into one...

[nyapakapow]

Everyone here turns into a wendigo? But Riki not do that! Riki still very not fluffy.

Riki thought everyone turn into super monsters. Not regular monsters.

[He means... animals????]

[soft_focus]

No, into monsters. [Keep up sir keep up.]

...T...That's because it takes a month, [he adds, only to frown a bit after a moment.]

...Super?

[nyapakapow]

Super! That can talk and walk and still think all smart! Super monster! Not like an Armu or something!

Riki knows all turn into super monster! It is curse!

[soft_focus]

[BUT-

BUT??] ...That's not super, that's normal...

[..............Also.] ...What's an armu?
