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!
Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look.
The reserve date has been announced (it was changed to the 30th to allow a maximum number of people compared to a Friday).
Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
NEW! Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 3 coins by replying to potential character threads! You will need to have your normal 20 comment AC in the game. You cannot use this to go over the bonus 10 coins per month total, but you can use it if you are missing some threads 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.
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.
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: You've heard about the fog, but you've never seen it before. Now, the mist surrounds you. Barely able to see before you, you need to get home - and fast. It's far too dangerous in this situation.
SCENARIO FOUR: 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 ONE. “Bunnyipyips and You?” This is sooooooo last year’s news! I don’t want this garbage!
[ Comes the loud voice of one Junko Enoshima, pamphlet crumpled between red-clad nails before she throws the thing onto the ground like a piece of trash. Without hesitation, she turns away from the startled local and stomps onto the papers one more time with high-heels before trudging off.
While said trudging is being carried out, Junko takes the opportunity to think on the situation. This whole thing is like some sort of cliché horror movie; waking up in a place with no recollection of how she came to be here. The concept sounds familiar and she laughs at that… how despair inducingly predictable. She's even bored at the supposed idea that she's risen from the grave! Didn't that already make her a monster, albeit a heinously cute one? She could use some better clothes though, and a maybe a brush. ]
Hey, you! Frankenstein! [ She calls at the first “monster” she spies, placing her hand on their shoulder.
Or if you’re not a monster yet, she’ll just leave the Frankenstein part out and grab your shoulder anyway. There might be the slightest pinch of her nails digging into your skin, but that could be an accident.. ]
Have any idea where a girl can find some reads that aren’t totally last season? I have no interest in Bunnybippityboppityboo.
SCENARIO TWO. [ Lost in the woods. Of course being lost in the woods has to be a thing, doesn’t that happen to everybody before something terrible happens? She’s probably about to get eaten by a flesh-eating human turned monster at any second. The thought scares her, then bores her, and now she's pissed. She's fucking bored.
With this, Junko begins to wave her arms around at the trees, acknowledging the childish laughter all around her but not addressing it directly. Probably only there for dramatic effect or whatever. ]
Hey, hey! Where’s my big bad wolf at? This little red is waiting for you to gobble her all up! Or suck my blood or whatever...
[ She snorts to herself. ] Kyaaah! Junko, that's so dirty..
[The woman Junko grabs is impeccably dressed, although her outfit is probably more to Celes's tastes than Junko's, with her lacey, frilled dress, bonnet, and delicate satin scarf.
When Junko's nails dig into her shoulder, the Doll winces, but only slightly. She doesn't say anything, though - she's quite accustomed to being mistreated by certain humans. It doesn't make her love for them, or her loyalty to them, any less strong.]
Ah. Perhaps this one, then? [She holds up a pamphlet she's found that seems to be about some kind of axe-stealing dogs.] Or would you prefer something else?
[Sorry Junko, she doesn't know what you want. Otherwise she would give it to you without hesitation.]
[ Taking her hand away from her shoulder, Junko just as crudely snatches the pamphlet away from the Doll's hands. Right away she flips through the pamphlet and, after deciding she’s wasting her time even looking at it, drops it to the floor like it’s yet another piece of garbage. ]
Nope, this just won't do. It's as shitty as the other one.
[ To add to the effect, she kicks the pamphlet away from them both, scowling at it. ]
Do you really find things like that to be entertaining? How sad! Then again, with those rags, you don't really look like you'd have good taste in anything to begin with!
[The Doll frowns at the insult. The Doll has always been fond of her clothing. Although she rarely puts much thought into the subject, the Doll has always found her frilly dress to be quite lovely, frilly as it is. She doesn't contradict Junko, however.]
You asked for something to read, and that was all I had on hand. I am sorry. [For the record, she does sound sorry about it.] Perhaps the library might be worth your time?
No, no, no! I asked for something new. I asked for something fresh. That junk you handed me was just as cliché as BunnyBingBoop!
[ Or whatever it's called, she doesn't really care to remember things that aren't worth investing her time in. ]
Hm, come to think of it.. I don't really feel like reading anymore. Who wants to read during a time like this? [ She does, apparently, but that was Junko of the old! This is Junko of the new. ]
SOOOOO!! I don't see you growing a third eye. Or fangs, or wings, whatever you prefer. You new here?
[The Doll isn't sure about that. Her world has horrific monster transformations already, but the pamphlets definitely feel like a new spin on things.Certainly not a cliché.
Again, though, she doesn't contradict the girl before her. She's a bit relieved when Junko forcibly changes the subject.]
I am. This place is... very strange, is it not? The way they let beasts walk among humans, unchallenged.
It is completely strange, yes. It’s so strange, in fact, I can only deduct only a snuff loving pervert could be responsible for its creation.
[ As she says this, she pulls her hair into a singular ponytail as if this is totally a normal thing to do. She’s missing the glasses, which kind of kills the whole point— but she’s bored of herself already. ]
Tell me, have you noticed anything else that's strange about this place? [ She's talking about her miraculous resurrection from the dead, but she won't go out and say it. ] Please, speak. I'll be waiting for your response.
[Okay. The Doll is most certainly lost, at this point. She isn't entirely sure what snuff is, or what perverts have to do with this place at all - and is this girl doing her hair up for the purpose of a single sentence?
Junko's bizarre sense of humor is entirely lost on her. Much to the Doll's relief, though, she ends her thought in a question - one that the Doll can most certainly answer. ]
Anything else? Why, yes. Before I came to this place, I was not a human. That they would make me one is bizarre.
[ Not human. If Junko were wearing any other personality, she may have laughed at the idea. She’s never been one to particularly believe in ghosts stories, and all the horror she’s experienced and created were entirely manmade. But if wherever this was had the potential to turn something human and rise the dead from their graves, then…
Huh. Interesting. ]
I see. Not human, you say? I’ll take note of this. [ She uses her free hand to fasten her invisible glasses. ]
What were you before, then? A shitty mannequin for a gothic lolita knockoff shop? A made to order blowup doll for some tortured forty year old soul? The possibilities are truly endless.
[Again, Junko's bizarre charactizations go completely over the Doll's head. She doesn't know what "gothic lolita" is, either, and she certainly isn't familiar with the term 'blowup doll,' so the Doll is just gonna give Junko a completely blank, dead-eyed stare until she stops talking.]
I am sorry, I... do not understand what you mean. I was a doll, yes.
[There's a long, heavy pause, and then she unknowingly gives Junko even more ammunition.]
Gehrman is... troubled, yes, but I believe he is much older than that. And I was used by many Hunters, not just him.
[ The Doll’s words are probably the worst thing she could have possibly said… it's almost kinda cute. Junko knows judging by her demeanor she most likely knows no better, but she’s not going to pass up an opportunity as sweet as this. ]
O… oh my gosh! This is way more scandalous than I thought! You really are that kind of doll? Aaaa, I knew it… you had that sort of vibe, but then again, how would I know that? Maybe I’m not as pure as I once thought I was! I’m getting all sweaty just thinking about it!!
[ She babbles on, completely caught up in herself for a few more moments before calming down. Sorta. ]
Poor thing, only existing to be passed around like that! Junko will teach you the despair of human existence… while it lasts, at least! Upupupu!
[It really was, not that the Doll understands that. All she understands is that she told Junko her role and... suddenly the girl became excited? Or upset, perhaps.]
Do not fret, young one. I am sure you are still quite pure.
[She can't sense the blood of others yet, but Junko doesn't have any outward transformations, at least. That's what Junko meant by 'pure,' right? She's helping??]
The humans do despair, yes. I have seen this myself. [Maybe not in this place, so much, but she's quite used to seeing traumatized and broken humans in the Hunter's Dream.] I try to help them in what ways I can, however.
[Rika is quick to turn around as Junko digs into her shoulder, only partially hearing what the other girl was asking as she faced the unfortunate consequence in their differences in height. Being as short as Rika was with her just barely 4'5" stature, she was essentially at eye level with Junko's chest, giving her a rather large eyeful of the massive rack the other girl was sporting.
They were definitely bigger than Mi's or Shi's as far as she could tell, and just might have been the biggest she'd ever seen yet in her life; how do boobs even get that big? What the hell had this girl been eating all her life to be that well endowed? Or was it the genetic lottery that had awarded her with such a magnificent pair? Pangs of bitter boob envy ring through the ten year old's (physically, anyways) mind as she looks up to make eye contact with Junko, none of her inner thoughts showing at all on her face, just a light bit of surprise at suddenly being grabbed from behind.]
Mii?
[The noise is reminiscent of the mewing of a young kitten and comes out in a questioning tone, the smaller girl's head tilting to the side slightly. The blonde had been talking about the literature they'd been given, right? Or something like that...]
They gave me this one.
[She holds it up for Junko to inspect, titled "Alternatives to Human Flesh".]
[ Oh, Rika.. her boobs are big because they contain all her deep dark secrets!! And she's got lots of secrets, so it’s no surprise..
Junko’s face goes completely sour when Rika turns around, despite being the one to have grabbed her first. As if the younger girl’s carrying the bubonic plague, Junko rips her hand away from her shoulder and wipes it onto her clothes, seemingly disgusted. Vocal ticks like that are tacky. ]
“Mii?” I change my mind, the genre is all wrong! This isn’t some horror sitcom, this is a super duper nasty loli manga, isn’t it?! Great, I won’t fit in here at all… how despairingly terrible.
[ She’s more or so talking to herself, but still looks at the pamphlet Rika holds up. She leans in, squinting, before snatching it from her hands, previous repulsion forgotten. ]
Huuuuh... mm, mmhm. This one is a little better. You look through it yet?
[Her life was already a horror sitcom, the last thing she wanted was more of it, especially if it brought on any permanent sort of consequences. The whole situation was definitely a welcome change from the normal repetitiveness that was her life, though. Rika always welcomed surprises, whether they were good or bad -- just being different from the usual made it exciting and worthwhile. Spending hundreds of years repeating the same period of time over and over again with the same general expectations for each timeline did that to you, you know.
The "loli" bit as well as Junko's whole attitude has her inwardly rolling her eyes though, but all Junko gets outwardly is a small pout and a rather worried expression.]
Nuh uh, it seemed too scary... you can have it if you want it.
[That was a lie -- she had already read it, and it had just made her quirk her brow at the contents. Rika of all people wouldn't be one to doubt the existence of man-eating demons at one point or another, but as far as she knew, they were pretty much all extinct, with the exception of one ghostly god that only she could see. To be told that she was going to be turning into a cannibal monster for reasons unknown, out of the blue in this mysterious place... that was rather hard to swallow, let alone believe.]
Do you think all this stuff about monsters is really true?
Edited (im so sorry for all the edits i really shouldnt have written a tag this late fff) 2015-05-24 09:37 (UTC)
[ Junko suddenly lets out a loud laugh while she flips through the pages, though it’s unclear whether she’s laughing at Rika herself or the text written on the flimsy little papers. She only flips through it for a few moments longer until she crumples it up and throws it over her shoulder. If whoever brought them here was serious about this, the reality of their situation was pretty horrifying.
Junko likes horrifying, though, so she’s not going to complain. She may as well relish in the feeling before it bleeds into nothing but bleakness, anyways. This place will become just as common to her as her hopeful school life soon enough. ]
Aaaa, yea, that’s right! Little girls like you shouldn’t be reading nightmare fuel like that, huh? You’re lucky Big Sis threw it out for you!
[ At the question, Junko doesn’t hesitate at all to answer. If she were sensible or kind, maybe she’d lie to a seemingly young girl like Rika to spare her the worry, but instead she just shrugs and goes to play with a piece of her hair. Which is still horribly disheveled, to her dismay!! ]
Hmmm, who knows? They seem pretty serious about all this monster stuff. If this is a prank, they must be some basement dwelling creeps who’ve seen one too many scary movies!
Two | Did someone order a not-so-big, not-so-bad wolf?
[Someone's lost in his forest again. Or at least, he assumes the source of this new, foreign scent is lost; humans rarely ventured this deep into the woods on purpose. People... did get eaten here, after all.
He would know.
So imagine his surprise when he actually tracks down the poor lost soul - and hears the girl in question calling for a big bad wolf to come gobble her up. He's hungry, too, so the timing is perfect, but-- no. No, he didn't eat humans. Not even if they asked him to. ... Probably.]
Geez, you should be careful what you wish for, man!
[He sighs as he emerges from the bushes on all fours, more wolf than a man. There's a muzzle, long arms ending in claws, fur, tail, ears - the works. But he still has some clothes on, and his body shape is still distinctly human - as is his voice, hoarse as it might be.]
she's probably more of a wolf than he is.. on the inside
[ Now this is an unexpected development! Truth be told, when Junko beckoned for a wolf to join her in the woods, she didn’t actually anticipate an actual wolf monster coming to greet her. Either way, she’s delighted at his appearance, if not a bit unnerved. Fear and delight went together hand in hand for her, though, so it's fine.
And instead of sprinting towards him to tug on his ears or tail or whatever, she simply stands in place. ]
Oh, I wasn’t expecting one of you to actually show up. Do you come like dogs when called?
[W-whoa, okay, so not only is this newcomer completely oblivious to the dangers lurking in the forest - as evidenced by her taunting them rather openly - she's really rude as well. Great, déjà vu ahoy! Why can't he ever find the polite ones to save? And why are the prettiest ones always the meanest ones, too?! Oh man, his luck sucks.]
Dude, it's just a figure of speech! [He stands up on two legs now that he's stopped running, if only to lessen the unavoidable back pain that awaits him in the morning - and to hopefully appear less dog-like. Yeah, that one stung, okay. He's totally a wolf, not a dog.] Geez, I just - wanted to see if you needed help, or something. No need to chew me out.
[... And he was hungry. But, you know, he doesn't want to admit that even to himself.]
Hey, were you not fuckin’ listening to me?! Don't call me shit like that! Do us all a favor and clean out those big furry ears of yours! Who the fuck knows how long it’s been since you even tried!
[ She suddenly snaps, seemingly infuriated by his figure of speech. So infuriated, in fact, she doesn't even have time to comment on how he's standing, which she actually finds pretty interesting. Can he do tricks though.. do wolves follow the laser pointer? ]
And yeah, I'd like to get out of this complete pissfest! I've been wanderin' around for-fuckin-ever and I'm pretty sure my feet are starting to blister! Hurts like a BITCH!!!
What the-?! Du- ah, I mean... what's up with you all of a sudden?! [No, like, seriously. All of a sudden this girl's like a completely different person. Sure, he could stick his foot pretty deep in his mouth sometimes, but this time, he was pretty sure he did nothing to deserve this crap.]
I was listening, just... chill. [He almost growls out that last word, tail twitching in annoyance. Damnit, he shouldn't get riled up, not in this form. She was just lost - and probably scared, at least on some level... right? Yeah, there's no way she couldn't be, unless she came from a world where monsters were the norm or something. It wasn't exactly unusual for people to be on edge when stressed.]
I'll get you out of here, but you gotta work with me a little and calm down, alright?
[... Although, he probably should check if his ears were actually clean. He hadn't touched them after his transformations began the first time.]
[ Yeah, he really didn’t do much of anything wrong. She’s seen and been around worse, but what else is a girl supposed to do while waiting to transform into a hideous beast if not torment everyone around her? It’s not her style to play nice.
But the slight threat in the tone of his voice makes her remember that she’s dealing with literal monsters, and this guy is one. She giggles, then pouts. ]
Geeez, okay already! You don’t gotta get so grumpy! It’s suuuuper scary.
[ Her hands go to her hips, glancing around at the looming woods all around them. ]
Say, do you really know the way out of here, or are you actually planning to eat me? Sniffle.. sniffle..
[Speaking of being almost like a completely different person all of a sudden, whoa there!]
H-huh? Scary? [Yosuke blinked, irritation quickly melting into confusion. Was... was she actually upset, or was that just some sneaky attempt at manipulation or something? It wouldn't be the first time that happened to him.
...
In the end, he figured that he'd rather risk being tricked than honestly scaring her even more by showing suspicion, and he chose his words accordingly.]
Hey, uh, sorry if I scared you. Kinda difficult to talk normally with these fangs in the way and all, you know? [He tried to chuckle. It ended up a snort. Point proven.] O-of course I know the way out! I've an awesome nose and I know these woods like the back of my paw. And I don't... I don't eat humans. [Often.]
[ At his words, Junko squeals so loud the sound almost drowns out the laughter in the background. Keyword is almost, because she can still hear it and it’s annoying because she’s pretty sure they’ve both gotten the point. Creepy kids in the woods, great! Enough already! ]
Ohmigosh… don’t tell me you actually thought I was scared? I feel so embarrassed for you, I could just die! Kyaaah!
[ She giggles, and then skips towards him. ]
If you don’t eat humans, then… you’re a vegetarian? Or do you only eat animals? Mm, mm! If I had my phone, I could snap a pic and send it into one of those conspiracy TV shows! [ For a split second, she actually looks agitated she doesn’t have her phone before she lights up again. ]
You can tell me about it on the way back, kay? For now, mush!
[Okay, definitely sneaky attempt at manipulation. And he totally called it, too! ... But still fell for it. Man, and there she went with the crazy demeanor change again, as well. Really, no need to feel embarrassed for him, he feels plenty embarrassed, himself.]
I-- well, I didn't really... I mean, w-whatever, man! [He's not sure whether he's more annoyed, embarrassed or just downright confused, but he tries to clear it all away with another shake of his head regardless.]
I eat animals. Um, like, you know, people usually do. [Except his are wild. And he eats them raw. Without utensils. Also... conspiracy... TV show?
He probably shouldn't ask.]
Er, this way. [He nods towards where he came from, keeping a suspicious eye on her at all times. He's not really sure if he's more worried for her well being than his own, but it probably doesn't really matter.] It's not that far away. So, uh, how'd you get lost in the first place?
[An attempt at normal conversation? An attempt at normal conversation, doomed as it probably is.]

Do not fret, young one. I am sure you are still quite pure.
[She can't sense the blood of others yet, but Junko doesn't have any outward transformations, at least. That's what Junko meant by 'pure,' right? She's helping??]
The humans do despair, yes. I have seen this myself. [Maybe not in this place, so much, but she's quite used to seeing traumatized and broken humans in the Hunter's Dream.] I try to help them in what ways I can, however.
one!
They were definitely bigger than Mi's or Shi's as far as she could tell, and just might have been the biggest she'd ever seen yet in her life; how do boobs even get that big?

Rika of all people wouldn't be one to doubt the existence of man-eating demons at one point or another, but as far as she knew, they were pretty much all extinct, with the exception of one ghostly god that only she could see. To be told that she was going to be turning into a cannibal monster for reasons unknown, out of the blue in this mysterious place... that was rather hard to swallow, let alone believe.]
Do you think all this stuff about monsters is really true?

Junko likes horrifying, though, so she’s not going to complain. She may as well relish in the feeling before it bleeds into nothing but bleakness, anyways. This place will become just as common to her as her hopeful school life soon enough. ]
Aaaa, yea, that’s right! Little girls like you shouldn’t be reading nightmare fuel like that, huh? You’re lucky Big Sis threw it out for you!
[ At the question, Junko doesn’t hesitate at all to answer. If she were sensible or kind, maybe she’d lie to a seemingly young girl like Rika to spare her the worry, but instead she just shrugs and goes to play with a piece of her hair. Which is still horribly disheveled, to her dismay!! ]
Hmmm, who knows? They seem pretty serious about all this monster stuff. If this is a prank, they must be some basement dwelling creeps who’ve seen one too many scary movies!
Two | Did someone order a not-so-big, not-so-bad wolf?
He would know.
So imagine his surprise when he actually tracks down the poor lost soul - and hears the girl in question calling for a big bad wolf to come gobble her up. He's hungry, too, so the timing is perfect, but-- no. No, he didn't eat humans. Not even if they asked him to. ... Probably.]
Geez, you should be careful what you wish for, man!
[He sighs as he emerges from the bushes on all fours, more wolf than a man. There's a muzzle, long arms ending in claws, fur, tail, ears - the works. But he still has some clothes on, and his body shape is still distinctly human - as is his voice, hoarse as it might be.]
she's probably more of a wolf than he is.. on the inside
And instead of sprinting towards him to tug on his ears or tail or whatever, she simply stands in place. ]
Oh, I wasn’t expecting one of you to actually show up. Do you come like dogs when called?
[ And then she says, flatly. ]
Don’t call me “man,” by the way.
Oh for sure, there's no contest there!
Dude, it's just a figure of speech! [He stands up on two legs now that he's stopped running, if only to lessen the unavoidable back pain that awaits him in the morning - and to hopefully appear less dog-like. Yeah, that one stung, okay. He's totally a wolf, not a dog.] Geez, I just - wanted to see if you needed help, or something. No need to chew me out.
[... And he was hungry. But, you know, he doesn't want to admit that even to himself.]
no subject
[ She suddenly snaps, seemingly infuriated by his figure of speech. So infuriated, in fact, she doesn't even have time to comment on how he's standing, which she actually finds pretty interesting. Can he do tricks though.. do wolves follow the laser pointer? ]
And yeah, I'd like to get out of this complete pissfest! I've been wanderin' around for-fuckin-ever and I'm pretty sure my feet are starting to blister! Hurts like a BITCH!!!
no subject
I was listening, just... chill. [He almost growls out that last word, tail twitching in annoyance. Damnit, he shouldn't get riled up, not in this form. She was just lost - and probably scared, at least on some level... right? Yeah, there's no way she couldn't be, unless she came from a world where monsters were the norm or something. It wasn't exactly unusual for people to be on edge when stressed.]
I'll get you out of here, but you gotta work with me a little and calm down, alright?
[... Although, he probably should check if his ears were actually clean. He hadn't touched them after his transformations began the first time.]
no subject
But the slight threat in the tone of his voice makes her remember that she’s dealing with literal monsters, and this guy is one. She giggles, then pouts. ]
Geeez, okay already! You don’t gotta get so grumpy! It’s suuuuper scary.
[ Her hands go to her hips, glancing around at the looming woods all around them. ]
Say, do you really know the way out of here, or are you actually planning to eat me? Sniffle.. sniffle..
no subject
H-huh? Scary? [Yosuke blinked, irritation quickly melting into confusion. Was... was she actually upset, or was that just some sneaky attempt at manipulation or something? It wouldn't be the first time that happened to him.
...
In the end, he figured that he'd rather risk being tricked than honestly scaring her even more by showing suspicion, and he chose his words accordingly.]
Hey, uh, sorry if I scared you. Kinda difficult to talk normally with these fangs in the way and all, you know? [He tried to chuckle. It ended up a snort. Point proven.] O-of course I know the way out! I've an awesome nose and I know these woods like the back of my paw. And I don't... I don't eat humans. [Often.]
no subject
Ohmigosh… don’t tell me you actually thought I was scared? I feel so embarrassed for you, I could just die! Kyaaah!
[ She giggles, and then skips towards him. ]
If you don’t eat humans, then… you’re a vegetarian? Or do you only eat animals? Mm, mm! If I had my phone, I could snap a pic and send it into one of those conspiracy TV shows! [ For a split second, she actually looks agitated she doesn’t have her phone before she lights up again. ]
You can tell me about it on the way back, kay? For now, mush!
no subject
I-- well, I didn't really... I mean, w-whatever, man! [He's not sure whether he's more annoyed, embarrassed or just downright confused, but he tries to clear it all away with another shake of his head regardless.]
I eat animals. Um, like, you know, people usually do. [Except his are wild. And he eats them raw. Without utensils. Also... conspiracy... TV show?
He probably shouldn't ask.]
Er, this way. [He nods towards where he came from, keeping a suspicious eye on her at all times. He's not really sure if he's more worried for her well being than his own, but it probably doesn't really matter.] It's not that far away. So, uh, how'd you get lost in the first place?
[An attempt at normal conversation? An attempt at normal conversation, doomed as it probably is.]
