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 11/27.
• 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: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.

[Despite the intent to comfort, Hinawa's touch does the exact opposite; the poor girl just about jumps a foot in the air, scrambling back until her back presses flat against the hospital bed. Her good eye is nearly glazed over with panic, and when she speaks up, her voice jumps up a pitch.]

S-Stay back....!

[sunflowerfields]

[Mom is undeterred. She pulls her hand away and holds it in her lap instead. She gives the girl a reassuring smile.]

It's okay, I'm not going to hurt you, I promise.

[hashtaghaunted]

[Ashley quickly shakes her head before burying it in her hands again. She's stopped rocking back and forth, at least, but she's still nowhere near calm.]

Don't. You can't say that...! Didn't you hear the others? We're gunna turn into monsters and god that is so fucked up we can't do anything about it...!

[sunflowerfields]

[Aha, she's already heard the bad news. Well, Hinawa's not about to give up.]

Somehow I don't think kneeling in a corner is going to help much, now is it?

[She gets up, crosses the room, and sits on another hospital bed.]

I'll tell you what, I'll be over here if you feel like talking. How's that sound?

[hashtaghaunted]

What else is there to do?!

[She's not quite yelling, but her voice does hitch up a bit at that.]

We can't do anything about this fucked-up situation! So what's the point??

[sunflowerfields]

[Hey, at least she's talking.]

That, I don't know. I just woke up here a few hours ago, myself. It's a lot to take in. It's overwhelming.

[Without thinking, Hinawa finds herself placing a hand over her heart, feeling it beating faster as the fear about her new situation was creeping back in. On top of that, there was the very real possibility that there wasn't actually anything she could do for this poor girl.]

If I'm going to be honest with you, I'm really scared, too.

[hashtaghaunted]

[Ashley can't help but snort at that.]

You're sure fooling me.

[sunflowerfields]

You're upset enough as it is. I didn't want you feeling worse.

[hashtaghaunted]

[Okay... that makes her feel a little guilty.]

Why? We don't even know each other.

[sunflowerfields]

[Mom just wants to help ;_;]

I couldn't just ignore someone who's sitting and crying by themselves. You look like you've been through quite a lot already. [Seriously, who's blood is that.]

I'm Hinawa. If we're both in this together, maybe we should get to know each other?

[hashtaghaunted]

... Yeah. Maybe.

[She brings up a point. And even if this all some hallucination she's having after going completely crazy... well. What's the point in fighting it anymore?]

I'm Ashley.
