TEST DRIVE

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!
• Ryslig's FAQ is located here, so please take a look if you have questions.
• The reserve date is 9/26.
• Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample!
• Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 6 coins by replying to potential character threads! You cannot use this to go over the bonus 20 coins per month total, but you can use it 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: 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.

SCENARIO FOUR (New):The claws, the fangs, the pangs of hunger - horrible as they all are, it's manageable given enough time and perseverance. Local monster hunters, though, not so much.

Maybe it started with a few wayward glances on the outskirts of town, critical stares and disapproving whispers, or just the misfortune of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whatever it was, deserved or entirely unprovoked, you're being hunted: a handful of aggressive, well-armed humans doggedly chase your trail throughout city streets and out into the open, and if you're not careful (if you don't find help soon) you might wind up as the next trophy kill claim on one of those hunter's walls.

[He supposes so. The most he has to reply to that however is a nod, before he looks back up. Given the silence from him, it's certain that the fact that he isn't breathing is going to be evident--he only does it if he needs to speak.

With the question of the body, he shakes his head immediately.] Nh-uh. ...just big, [he clarifies, keeping short with his words.] ...'M s...stronger here, [He adds. The boy seems rather slow to speak, sounding even monotonous when he does say anything. As it is, he seems to be offering the body up.]

...I... I can push though... [...He sounds as if he isn't sure--not so much about his ability, but more if he would even be allowed, however. Monster strength is fairly impressive after all--he might not be anywhere near as strong as an adult, but he can certainly push a cart.]

[bonsoiree]

[ He kicks at a wheel and the cart comes loose. He looks down at the small being and the body and puts on what is supposed to seem a reassuring and helpful expression. He offers a hand. ]

The cart was never stuck. I can help you with your friend there, if you'd like. We can push him in this.

[soft_focus]

[Reira is no fool. Even without the skepticism that had been there from the start--so for a few moments as the cart is kicked, the boy reflexively flinching at the sound, he starts to connect a few of the dots on hand. The cart was not stuck. This is a monster.

.................oh.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Best to move on then.

Leaving the matter of the cart to things unsaid, he nods, awkwardly handing the corpse over.] S...still has his knife, [he admits, biting his lip a bit.]

T...thought Bucky would want it...

[The knife, in question, is embedded quite thoroughly in the man's chest, though the hand was pulled loose from it when Reira was trying to figure out how to even carry the fellow. As it is.

He can't really get it in the cart too easy on his own, and he figures it would be more polite to let the owner do it right now. Otherwise whatever else is in it could get shoved around where it shouldn't.

And that's no good for anyone.] Th...

...Thank you...
