JULY TEST DRIVE MEME

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 .
  • 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 per bonus coin group (so 6 total) 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 20 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. Some of these seem to have been passed down from one monster to the next.

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. Sometimes they have marks on them from previous people who had them saying they are lies, or pointing out good "jokes."

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.
crowover: (hey prof is that a wig)

[Oh hey, there's someone else here with him! Good. Mikazuki was starting to get bored with wandering around with only disembodied giggles to keep him company.

He steps obediently from behind the tree, the girl a casual, easy going smile. He doesn't seem the least bit bothered about being lost in the woods, or the way Kurumi wielding that shovel.]


Hi! [He waves.] I didn't realize you were waiting for me!
tasteslikesurvival: (So about that.)

I'm just glad someone recognizes her!

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-25 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[She glares at him, hand still gripping her shovel.] I wasn't. [The laughing still went on. No, it definitely wasn't Yuki.]

I was talking to those voices.
crowover: (at peace)

that manga is so good

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-25 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, those things. [He shoves his hands in his pockets and steps closer.] I thought it's a nice touch but yeah, I wish they showed up already. Hiding like that is what cowards do.
tasteslikesurvival: (Tastes like survival)

it really is.

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-25 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[She steps back, if only to keep her distance.] Maybe it's just a recording.
crowover: (say do you have raw cabbages)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-25 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mikazuki stops approaching when she steps back, raising both hands in amusement before knitting them on the back of his head. He doesn't bite! At least not now.]

Ya think? 'Cause I've been walking through those woods for hours and couldn't find a source. It's always the same, all around me.
tasteslikesurvival: (This won't be good)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
So, what? These voices are following us or something?

[She still has a shovel. She's not afraid of using it.]
crowover: (WOO HOO)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-25 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's welcome to use it! He always enjoys a good smacking.]

Maybe. Maybe they're the souls of people long dead, cursed to forever wander in this forest and lure unsuspecting travelers such as us [His voice drops dramatically:] and trap them forever, never to be seen again!

[He holds out his hands, wiggling his fingers. So spoooooky.]
tasteslikesurvival: (Stop it Yuki)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-25 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Gah!

[She waves her hand in a dismissive gesture.] Don't be stupid! They're...probably a bunch of kids playing a prank or something. [Hopefully. This guy's just messing with her, right?]
crowover: (Default)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-26 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
A reasonable assumption! But my idea is more exciting.
tasteslikesurvival: (Stop it Yuki)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-26 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
This place needs less excitement.
crowover: (say do you have raw cabbages)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-26 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, those pamphlets back in town promised all kinds of things but no one's tried to eat me yet.

[Yes, he IS disappointed. So many monsters, and not a single fight!]

Why don't we find a way outta this forest? I dunno about you, but I'm starting to get bored of trees.
tasteslikesurvival: (Tastes like survival)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-26 08:16 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say that's a good day.

[For all her bluster, she's not exactly unhappy there haven't been any of it around. Better that way.]

Though, I'll agree on that.
crowover: (with my buddy mu)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-26 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Great. Let's go then.

[He starts marching in a random direction - and stops after three steps.]

Huh. You've any idea where we should go? Those giggles had me completely confused.
tasteslikesurvival: (Stop it Yuki)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-26 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She glances around, trying to figure where she came from. There should be a mark on the tree where she had been smacking her shovel-- ... she sighed.]

No idea.
crowover: (awww come on why not)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-27 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He makes a face.] That's no good at all.

[There's another fit of giggles. Mikazuki cups his chin in one hand, deep in thought - he would really like to find that mystery person and kick their ass, but he also wants to go back to civilization...]

Maybe we should try walking the opposite direction of the voices. [His frown smooths back into a smile.] Worst case scenario, we get to do some survival training in the woods!
tasteslikesurvival: (Yeah shovels)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-27 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
That should work. [But what if it's just an echo? She shakes that idea out of her head.] At least it's a start, right?

[And survival training is always good.]
crowover: (Default)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-27 08:20 am (UTC)(link)
Right. It beats staying put, that's for sure.

[As they navigate themselves away from the giggles, there's a new spring in Mikazuki's steps. He managed to psych himself up with 'survival training', so much that he wishes they'd get attacked by a bear - or better yet, a werebear.]

So how good are you with that shovel?
tasteslikesurvival: (Yeah shovels)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-27 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm good enough.

[She gives a confident smirk as she talks.] But if you're smart, you won't want me t show you.
crowover: (say do you have raw cabbages)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-28 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a laugh and a nod of approval.] And what if I'm not so smart?
tasteslikesurvival: (So about that.)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-28 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
Then just pray I don't hit your head.

[She keeps walking without a pause in her step but the smirk is still there.]
crowover: (Default)

[personal profile] crowover 2015-07-28 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
Heh! [He smirks back. He likes her already.] Now where's the fun in that?
tasteslikesurvival: (On patrol)

[personal profile] tasteslikesurvival 2015-07-28 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's less blood for me to clean off this thing. [Shrug.] Call it a favor.
