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.
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.
[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!
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.
[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.
[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.]
[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?]
[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.]
[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!
[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.]
ahhh Kurumi! scenario 2~

Hi! [He waves.] I didn't realize you were waiting for me!
I'm just glad someone recognizes her!
I was talking to those voices.

[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.
no subject
[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.

[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.
no subject
No idea.

So how good are you with that shovel?
