TEST DRIVE: NOVMEMEBER (get it because it's a meme)

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.

No...

[ It's not just an answer to his first statement, but a small distressed expression of her feelings as well, for just an instant before she hides it.

Then she's looking at him seriously, with a calm and appraising gaze. ]

Maybe not, but that doesn't mean I'll give them away for free. You'll have to share information if you want--some.

[raidraptors]

[She's pretty fast to be back to business... not a bad thing in this dimension, not in Shun's eyes.

He studies her for a moment; he could probably take one of the bodies if he wanted to, regardless of what she demands – he is much further along with his transformation, comfortable with his changes... but there is no need for that, depending on the kind of information she asks for, so...]

Fair enough.

[Ask away, Rin.]

[brilliantcut]

[ She's fast, all right, but she's still somewhat pale beneath the blood. She doesn't seem to be inviting comment on that right now, though. ]

Where have you seen the most native patrols against us? It's in my interest to avoid areas like that when possible.

[raidraptors]

[No worries... as long as she doesn't break down at him, she isn't going to get one.

He names a couple of districts that he knows to be popular with hunter patrols, then adds:]

There is no guaranty that you won't run into them elsewhere though. Best way to sidestep those idiots is to go for height.

[Rooftops are usually much safer at times like this.]

[brilliantcut]

Are you saying I should climb trees? I'll do that, but only if you promise not to look up my skirt while I'm climbing. I'll kill you, otherwise.

[ It's an incongruous moment of levity, made all the stranger for the fact that she doesn't seem to be totally joking. ]

[raidraptors]

[There is a small pause in which Shun is torn between feeling incredibly insulted and faintly disturbed – both notions definitely show on his face before he goes back to business. Hell knows who looks up her skirt, Shun definitely has no interest in that.]

If your monster climbs well, sure. Otherwise, rooftops will do.

[At least back in the city.]

[brilliantcut]

[ She continues to look at him with faint curiosity, apparently unperturbed by his reaction to her words--or maybe just not understanding how dire it is. ]

Don't bears climb trees to get honey? I've heard that's true.

[raidraptors]

And? What does that have to do with anything?

[...You lost him, Rin.]

[brilliantcut]

I'm a werebear, so I'll have to take up climbing trees.

[ She sounds serious. ]

[raidraptors]

[...You gotta be kidding him.]

That's not how it works.

[Mostly, not how it works. Bear instinct has yet to drive him up a tree anyway.]
