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.

[Good news, she doesn't sound threatening. Bad news. Erm...

He doesn't seem to be doing much beyond biting his lip and shivering in the spot.
]
lostanddefective: (bites lip)

[personal profile] lostanddefective 2015-05-25 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Umm...

[ Pearl starts to reach a hand out, and then promptly pulls it back, biting her lower lip nervously. ] Little human? Hello? Are you alright...?
soft_focus: (:|)

man deciding to use 'brother' or 'niisama' is like a mental game of chess =3='

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-25 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh now why did you do that--

As the hand came near he stared at it--and maybe even shifted a little, almost considering the idea of taking it.

And then you took it back. Reira looks to the side, as if it's something he's done that caused it, before speaking quietly.
]

...n..niisama's not here... [Reira's only speaking one language, so that, thankfully, shouldn't sound like gibberish; someone's missing their very very important big brother.]
lostanddefective: (IB)

lol THE STRUGGLE IS REAL

[personal profile] lostanddefective 2015-05-26 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Your brother?

[ Man this is awkward. She should probably do something? To help??? But she's not really invested because Steven is still missing, and he's her #1 priority!

Pearl why are you such a terrible guardian of humanity. ]


Y-Yeeeees, uh... Many of us are missing family members... But I'm sure he's bound to turn up somewhere, if you get up and look for him!

[ That last bit is said with a broad, forced smile. She's trying to be encouraging here. ]
soft_focus: (:|)

ok reira plz be slightly more social now =w=''

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-26 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[.................................Yeaaaaaaaaaaa you're a touch too obvious for his wee eyes and ears Pearl. All your forced smile gets back is a worried expression of disbelief. You are lying aren't you.]

...no one's here... [His eyes end up finding their way to Pearl's shoes, closing over a little.] ...the doctor said...

[Maybe y' should've asked that guy Pearl. He does seem to be in charge of everyone waking up in this place...]
lostanddefective: (HHhhhh yeah no)

[personal profile] lostanddefective 2015-05-28 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Um. Yes! The doctor, right! You should... maybe ask the doctor for help, that sounds like an excellent idea!

[ Pearl laughs nervously, deliberately misunderstanding his point. She is so uncomfortable right now SHE'S GONNA WALK AWAY. LALALA THIS ISN'T HER PROBLEM ]
soft_focus: (oAo)

wow pearl :'D (she lasted a smidge longer than I figured at least ;w; )

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-28 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[[OOC - Reira's tricky so... apologies from mun here if tags were particularly hard as a result-! He's quite mousy...]]

[Wow even he's picked up on that, Pearl. There's a brief look of discomfort--as if he's done something wrong, rather than you yourself--before he looks back down.]

...I did...
lostanddefective: (oh! yes!)

sldkfmk I'M SORRY ABOUT HER,,, also you're fine!

[personal profile] lostanddefective 2015-05-28 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it certainly can't hurt to talk to him again! [ she says in a sing-song voice with that forced chipperness that she hopes will just fool this poor kid into thinking she's being helpful, or encourage him enough to help himself. ]
soft_focus: (niisama wa doko?)

:'D (And pfff it's cool I know how Pearl gets =w=' )

[personal profile] soft_focus 2015-05-28 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
...

...You too.

[Hah?]
