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.

[He's not replacing his arrow in the quiver - they are outside in territory that could become hostile at the drop of a hat - but he does shift weight to make it more pointedly aimed away, opting for "long-suffering".]

Well, mainly, as much as I would ordinarily trust you in combat situations, one does not typically ask someone that is being violently and erratically hostile to watch their back for something that may require cooperation in the face of unexpected circumstances with little room for communication and a need to predict the other party's actions intuitively, and Eight or King are not exactly here to ask to help with scouting. [He was framing it heavily in terms of the tactical problem - send someone that hates the other person to back them up on recon, and there'd be temptation to let the hated party walk into an ambush and play it off as circumstances - but there is hurt under it that he's covering.]

As vocal as you've been about hating us all, I doubt you'd be that bothered if something were to happen, besides.

[ Machina doesn't visibly flinch, but he does seem to shrink in on himself. ]

If that's what you want to believe. [ He's tugging his cape off and shoving it at Trey. ] You could probably use this more than I can.
