JANUARY TEST DRIVE 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 01/29.
  • 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.

I-I really should know my way around these woods by now...

[ But alas, Anna is just about as lost as can be...and a fair bit sticky, too! Elsa had it easy; she could just talk to the darn foliage and a path would probably reveal itself, but unfortunately, Anna had it just a bit tougher! After all, it gets dark late at night here in the forest, and the giggling is not helping how jittery she's been finding herself lately...which, unfortunately, has been leading to some accidents here or there. The poor girl's been bumping into branches left and right...which, she supposes, her newfound height is also to blame for! Seriously, this six-inch growth spurt was proving to be a problem, even if it did let her tease her sister by putting things on the high shelf...

Thankfully, though, she sees Sonia doing...something cool-looking with the sticks, and, well, she looks like she knows what she's doing! Or, at least more than she does! Naturally, they'll have to combine their efforts..! R-right?

...Please help, Sonia, she's been getting smacked all over by these branches and she's got so many leaves stuck to her clothes that she'd look like a nymph herself, if not for the fact that she's practically red as a beet all over. It's been a rough day... ]


U-um, excuse me! You're looking for a way out of here too, right?

[ Poor Anna...she looks a complete mess, although at least no one can really expect her to be elegantly put together in the middle of a forest!

Even if Sonia has so far been able to maintain that image. What the hell, Sonia? The blonde looks suitably startled but not in the least wary by Anna's appearance. After all, she seems nice enough...! ]


Ah! I am, yes. I am currently trying to determine which direction is North...you got lost as well? This woods could be much improved by trail signs, I think.

HELLS YEAH

[ LUCKY SONIA.... ]

No kidding...it doesn't help that they're really dark and a little bit creepy, y'know? I mean, it's not really foggy, so I don't think anyone's gonna really wanna, like, eat or anything, but still, that giggling can really get on your nerves...

I mean, I kinda live not too far from here, but I went out to go run some errands and I kinda got stuck! This, um, happens more often than I'd like to admit, honestly...but I'm pretty good at finding landmarks, so I get out sooner or later, you know?

Is there a way to find north with those sticks, though?
