TEST DRIVE : MAY EDITION

TEST DRIVE MEME

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.
joylesslove: Where no one lives. (02. There's a house)

I did as well.

[Although, honestly, the laughter has very little to do with her reasons for being in the woods. This sort of freedom - the ability to go wherever she pleases, far beyond the confines of the Hunter's Dream - is new to her. She was exploring a bit, if only to discover how she actually feels about having so much freedom.]

Are we certain the laughter is coming from children?

[Her tone is more curious than anything else. There very well may be children in these woods for all she knows, after all. It seems sort of doubtful, though.]

[She's here because it seemed the most familiar at the time. The winding paths, the spindly trees. Much more similar to home than a town on the bay and a city half a century out of step.]

[ ! ] ...What else could it be coming from? [A little suspicious. Or maybe nervous. Probably both. This forest is playing tricks on her, but... well, she doesn't know what kind.]
joylesslove: And try it. (07. And you take a deep breath)

I... do not know.

[She doesn't have any suggestions or answers, she just sort of doubts there are children out here enjoying themselves in these woods. Er, not human children, at least.]

There are all manner of creatures here that would feast upon your - our bones. Perhaps one of them is making the sound, to draw you inward.

[It actually took her a second there to remember that she actually has a human body now. It's so strange to actually be an active part of the hunt.]

[She'd sort of hoped it wouldn't come to that. And what if it is a trap, what can she do about it, now that she's stuck in it. The temperature seems to drop, a chill in the air, and she doesn't know if it's the wind or--

Something else, anyway.

Maybe her mind's just playing tricks on her.]
Too nice for my own good, that's what my problem is. [More to herself than anything.]

I don't want to leave anyone stranded out here overnight, but maybe we should postpone the search for now. [Not going to talk about... about hunting. Stay calm. This is just another day at work. Find lost kids. Don't get lost, too.]

joylesslove: (14. It's got a pretty mouth)

Too kind? No, it is... good to see humans looking out for each other.

[She's so used to humans hunting down former humans, going mad and attacking fellow survivors, or even occasionally turning against the Hunt and slaying their fellow Hunters. Her world is a bloody one, it's refreshing to meet someone who thinks of others before herself.

Even if, the Doll knows, such an attitude will get this woman killed.

Perhaps that would be wisest. Do you know the way back?
