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.

[He would probably enjoy head pats! Except he doesn't think about that too often. He's still getting used to the dog thing.

That answer is a surprise. Christian opens his mouth, tries to answer, finds he doesn't quite have it, and then tries again.]

I think we probably shouldn't be trading skins. That tends to make people angry.

[He scratches the side of his head as if that will give his feelings on the imagery somewhere else to go.]

This is your skin, right? [And the answer is going to be honest, right? ...Right?]

[highstandards]

[Of course it'll be honest! Papyrus is always honest. Sometimes a little too much.]

Well, I never had skin before today but I woke up like that, so I guess that makes it mine!

[buildingcastles]

[Well, he can't say he didn't ask for that one.]

What did you have before today?

[highstandards]

Bones! I was a skeleton.

[buildingcastles]

You what?

[THAT he wasn't expecting.]

When? Wait, you mean that you were a skeleton before?

[highstandards]

Yeah, that's what I said, a skeleton monster! Which I noticed you DON'T HAVE HERE, BY THE WAY!

[buildingcastles]

[He sounds offended by that somehow. Is he- What is Christian's life becoming?]

Well, I haven't seen any yet, but they could just be rare here?

[Maybe?]

Or maybe they look like humans. [Because he totally seems human. Just saying.]

[highstandards]

Huh. Maybe!

[It's not like there be any back Home other than him and his bro, after all.]

Someone told me humans have skeletons, too. IT'S REALLY WEIRD!

[buildingcastles]

Humans do have skeletons.

[That is true. He doesn't think it's the same thing, but it's true.]

They don't usually talk on their own. I mean, it's pretty weird to see a skeleton without skin in the first place so I guess I can't say what they usually do.

But people here also seem to be turning into monsters, so does that mean you'll just turn back into a skeleton?

[highstandards]

I don't think so! I already know what being a monster is like. It's like you turning back from a dog to human – WHAT'S THE POINT?

[He's still convinced that the "point" is to make both sides understand each other a little better.]

[buildingcastles]

Well, I wouldn't be a wolf anymore. [That's a point, right? Totally a point.]

What's the point of turning me into a dog? It doesn't help me that much.

[He probably should try to understand it more.]

[highstandards]

All the dog monsters I know are really happy! [And kind of dumb, but in a loveable kind of way.] So maybe you need to learn how to enjoy the simple pleasures of life!

[buildingcastles]

So what you're saying is the transformation is like our fortune cookie horoscope trying to give us life advice.

[He's being a little sarcastic, but only because that interpretation sounds so far out there he can't believe this guy is being serious. He must be trying to make fun of him for the dog thing.]

Is it telling me to dig holes too?
