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.

What does that mean?

[Why is everyone here so damned cryptic. Help an illiterate man out, for the Maker's sake.]

[chimerad]

You washed up here, right? [jeez. did this guy just straight-up walk out of town or something? only idiots do that.

and Zel.] Didn't any of those sad-faced citizens clue you in yet?

[halatinous]

[He's just trying to sort out where in the hell he is, OK!!]

They shoved pieces of paper into my hands. They were otherwise not talkative.

[chimerad]

[Zel ducks one more branch before slowing down, looking over his shoulder as he stops and gives this guy a sour look.

wow. he sure is a tall glass of Not His Problem. it's so hard to pencil in other people in a full day of self-absorbed loathing and frustration and maybe being productive...

sigh.]

There's people based there that are better qualified to orient you in all this; I doubt they've been run out of town by a murderous mob yet.

[halatinous]

[Fenris scowls. A murderous mob? Why would that even be a thing?]

Maybe so, but you're the person in front of me.

[chimerad]

[ecccch.

LOUDER SIGH. LISTEN to how PUT-UPON he is by...by OTHER PEOPLE having problems that aren't HIS problem. his life is so hard.

he turns and starts on his way again.]

Well, I'm not slowing up just to give someone a grand tour... You keep up, I can answer a couple things, I guess.
