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.
[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.]

Two | Did someone order a not-so-big, not-so-bad wolf?

[ And then she says, flatly. ]
Don’t call me “man,” by the way.
Oh for sure, there's no contest there!
