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.

['Euthanise' implies a great deal more mercy than many Hunters have. ]

Then we are indeed speaking of two different kinds of plague.

[Again, she lifts up the werewolf pamphlet and points to the beast on the front of it.]

There are doctors and the healing church for many illnesses. The plague that creates these creatures requires a Hunter.

[Her tone is calm, despite Joan's justifiable anger. She isn't smug or condescending, just genuinely trying to explain her point. Clearly if this stranger has a problem with Hunters, there must be some sort of misunderstanding., right? In her mind, their job is so righteous, such anger doesn't make sense as a response.]

[beehave]

So your plague... created creatures like the werewolf? And you have Hunters to kill them?

[This is sounding more and more like a horror movie.]

[joylesslove]

Yes. It is an important job. Many good men and women give their lives for it.

[It's more complicated than that, really, but that's the gist of it. There's no need to go into the specifics about what causes the plague, not when this stranger doesn't need to know it.]

And now, this place seems to have the same sickness.

[With that,she passes the werewolf pamphlet to Joan. It's got some pretty interesting bits about horrific transformations in there, as well as a few possibly less-than-true parts.]

Here, Stranger: Arm yourself with knowledge.
