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.
Well, I'm afraid I don't. There are other people here who were pulled from later years. They may know who you are. [He says it bluntly, as if he doesn't know nor care how insane the statement sounds.]
[Ah! Progress! Perhaps he isn't a totally lost cause.] Not the slightest idea. But, as I said, there are other people here from later points in time. They may know who you are.
Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, and Detective Ema Skye.[He watches carefully for a reaction, hoping for some clue as to the nature of his relationship with the others or even Edgeworth himself.]
Um, yeah! There was that one guy, with the huge shoulders and the booming voice and the creepy trenchcoat and the instant ramen smell! [What a harrowing experience meeting such a terrifying individual!]
[He had wondered. After all, with Edgeworth's extremely limited social life most of his acquaintances are made through work. Add to that the fact that the newcomer knows at least one detective and his assertion that Edgeworth 'helped him out,' and it's not difficult to guess how their paths might have crossed.]
[And where Edgeworth goes, Detective Gumshoe usually follows.]
[Briefly he feels a flush of longing akin to homesickness. Irrationally he wishes the good detective was here with him--not for his competent support, because his actions are frequently neither supportive nor competent, but for the reassuring sameness he provides. For all his flaws, Gumshoe is an excellent rock to which a man can anchor himself.]
Then I take it you and I met...or will meet...during the course of an investigation.
[As always, it makes Edgeworth vaguely uncomfortable to be faced with the gratitude of a victim's loved one. It fills him with a confusing blend of emotions: pride, to which he knows he has no right, regret, relief. Still, he's grateful for the reminder of what he's really meant to be doing. He replies awkwardly] I'm sorry for your loss. [and is surprised to realize how infrequently he has the opportunity to express such sentiment. There's rarely time in the midst of an investigation, when other lives are often hanging in the balance.]
[Oh god what do???? To say he's not the most adept at dealing with crying people would be a gross understatement. Edgeworth hesitates, eyeing him uncertainly.] Yes, well... You're not alone here. If you need help, don't hesitate to ask.
[Oh god why is this happening to him. At a complete loss, Edgeworth can't respond at first. He surveys the street helplessly. Aside from a few people who haven't bothered to be discreet about gawking, the people around them are very pointedly averting their eyes from the scene the young man is making. Clearly no one's going to come to his rescue.]
[Edgeworth clears his throat awkwardly.] We're all in the same boat when we first arrive. Those of us who have established ourselves have a responsibility to ease the transition for newcomers. I'm sure when the time comes, you'll do the same for others.

When I was brought here months ago, it was March, 2018. Did you meet me before then?

I'm still getting used to him not being around. He always used to look after me...
