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.

With a laugh, she presses her lips into a thin smile. "A surprising amount of 'professions' could be described that way, if we're honest."

"Oh, I'm sure you've been around the block once or twice, Norman." Her tone continues in the same manner as his, though with perhaps a measure more of suggestion. Still, she smiles and tilts her head to the side, wry as ever. "Although, I don't know about you but nothing I ran into on the job could quite have prepared me for this place. Perhaps I should have spent more time studying fairy tales and less time on laws and ordinances."

"True, though probably the biggest offenders would be advertisers and lawyers." He pauses thoughtfully. "And of course politicians and weathermen."

The wry grin reappears. "Perhaps but nothing like this for certain." Gesturing to the buildings around them he continues, "Neither business nor science are likely going to help me in a land where people turn to monsters for no reason. Unless I'm going to build something to make the monsters deadlier." Not a bad idea, actually. Something to tuck away for later. "Fairy tales and comic books, maybe. Or wherever Bunyipyips are from."

"Drug dealers and pimps aren't especially truthful either. And con artists. They lie for a living, a dishonest day's work. And in the defense of weathermen, usually no one gets a bullet between the eyes for saying it'll be sunny when it's raining." She laughs. "The rest can all go to hell together."

Clasping her hands behind her back, she walks on slowly, tiling her head back and speculating. "I wonder what the libraries around here would look like. Do you reckon they're full of fantasy novels about cops and businessmen and boring old everyday life."

"True, though I can name many that may have wanted to do that to a weatherman for ruining a picnic or something." He gives her a half smile then adds, "Careful what you wish for, they might end up here."

"Mm, and maybe their big tentpole summer blockbuster movie is 'Man goes to Meeting'. Makes you wonder what their nonfiction looks like." He splays his hand out, moving it through the air. "The award winning documentary 'Dances with Werewolves', based on the novel of the same name."
