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.

Whenever you want. She's usually there, unless I drag her out by her apron. She keeps to herself way too much, I think.

[plutonicideals]

Then it sounds like we've got some work to do.

[Someone keeping to themselves too much?? Gotta fix it.]

[finewithhalf]

Already on it, Riles. But it'll definitely be better with you involved.

[So maybe she's purring again. Maybe that's just going to be a thing.]

[plutonicideals]

Think we could find a bay window to take her to? Nothing's going to replace our bay window, but we still need a bay window.

[finewithhalf]

[Her smile grows wider. Windows. Riley still cares about the little things.]

There's a whole ballroom full of bay windows, actually.

[plutonicideals]

[>implying the bay window is a little thing, bay windows are magical and wonderful okay.]

—Can we go see them? Let's go. We can go to the bakery after once we find the perfect one.

[finewithhalf]

[It's been a long time, okay?! She's out of practice.]

Okay, but you have to promise not to blow it out of proportion when we get there. Can you do that for me?

[She knows Riley can't. And, to be perfectly honest, she's sort of looking forward to the 'yay'ing.]

[plutonicideals]

Okay. I won't blow it out of proportion. I am going to be the calmest calm person to ever be calm.

[Look at that suddenly straight face.]

[finewithhalf]

Good. That's a relief.

How did you get to Bavan on your own, anyway? I thought most of the new people end up in Vandare first. Were you spontaneous enough to go out alone?

[plutonicideals]

[She shrugs.]

I woke up by Bavan this time, and so did everyone else. I think.

[finewithhalf]

Huh. That's different.

[But she shrugs because that's way more convenient anyway.]

I'll show you around while we go. What have you seen already?
