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.

[UMMMMM, NO?? He is not a nerd. Definitely not. He's just stuck with all you nerdy losers by association. That is all.]

[But that aside, yes, he kind of does regret asking a little. But you never can tell with Sonia, half the time her concerns are actually legitimate! But then sometimes...sometimes she hands you a complaint like this. What is he even supposed to do with that!?]


...ah.

[Well, crap. He asked so he can't just pretend she didn't answer and go back to staring at her books and fighting off the urge to nap for the second time today. Or well...he could, but that would be too rude, even for him.]

Well...it's not like you actually have to catch up on most of those, right? Because surely at some point you actually watched 'em, you just forgot thanks to the Neo World Program. That'll fix itself once we're back home and get our memories back.

[SURELY.]

[ It would be so much easier if she were just Always Helpful or Always Useless, like other classmates, wouldn't it. AND REALLY, THE TRUTH IS MOST OF HER DRAMAS ARE PROBABLY CANCELLED IN THE APOCALYPSE, BUT.

but what about all those missed ones...! ]


Ehhh?! But remembering an experience is not the same as experiencing the experience at all! [ that...

that doesn't even make any sense...you will have experienced it, that's the Point ]


Besides, at this point...this is "withdrawal", is it not?! The only movie I have seen recently was that thing.

[ MONOKUMA CAN'T DIRECT. ]
impheired: you send me, I'm gonna send a wholesome family photo. (disgust ♚ for every drunk face picture)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-01-15 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL YES, but that's depressing and she's clearly already very distraught. Somehow it didn't seem like the best point to make.]

But you... [THAT DOESN'T EVEN... SONIA WHY. You know what, never mind. He's not even going to try and correct that. Instead, he's going to grimace at the mention of that.]

Ugh, why did you have to remind me of that shitty movie? [Literally the worst movie in existence: The Wizard of Monomi 2.5D] You know they have movie theaters here though, right? And tv dramas too. None of the stuff we had back home, sure, but you can at least get your fix in some way.

[personal profile] monarchical 2016-01-15 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...well, I do know there are tv dramas, but...we do not currently own a television, do we?

[ clearly what she Needs To Buy ]

But! That is a wonderful idea! We should go to an evening viewing of a movie! I wonder what sort of films are popular here...?

[ Ah...does she intend to drag everyone to a movie, or is it just Kuzuryuu who can't escape? The suggestion sounds solid enough to be an order, in her usual manner. ]
impheired: but i've also decided i don't give a fuck (neutral ♚ i've decided it's a bad thing)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-01-17 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, getting a TV was kinda low on the priority list.

[Not to mention the fact that TVs are kind of expensive here. But mostly the castle was a mess when they first got it and they really needed to focus on making that livable.]

As for movies....monster movies are surprisingly popular here. You'd think it'd be the opposite but... [Rysligians are weird.]
monarchical: official game sprite (SPRITE ► hella yeah!)

[personal profile] monarchical 2016-01-18 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I shall move it to the top of my own priority list! After all, I am now a working girl!

[ #the most thrilled about part-time jobs #hell yes ]

I enjoy monster movies, so that will do wonderfully. Everyone shouldn't have any problems with going to one tonight or tomorrow night! [ ah, she intends to drag Everyone ]
impheired: have 'baptized' your tattoo in vodka the same night you got it. (talk ♚ i really don't think you should)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-01-18 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, you sure are... Though, I bet if we all pitched in we could afford one now.

[Truly, this is perhaps the weirdest thing about Sonia. As a fellow rich kid, Fuyuhiko just cannot understand why she's so excited about part time grunt work. Ew. That's the kind of stuff kids like Hinata do! Not future crime lords like himself, frankly part-time work is a waste of his talent. Is it not the same for a princess?]

As for movies...better ask Hinata if he's working either of those nights [Poor shade and his inability to go out in the sun.] But other than that I doubt it'll be a problem. I don't have anything planned. But it better not be something lame!

[Because if it can't hold his attention, he'll get bored and antsy. Never a good thing at night. He has the tendency to get destructive when he's bored. #shibelyfe]

[personal profile] monarchical 2016-01-24 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
That might be so, but I could not possibly ask you all to contribute to something I am selfishly requesting!

[ Honestly, she will probably be hella disappointed when no Typical Drama Moments happen at her job. Why is real life not a drama??? ]

But, I shall ask Hinata-san about his work schedule as soon as we get back. Perhaps we should invest in some sort of calendar? Ah, for everyone's schedules, that is...we could combine it with a chore chart?
impheired: are called person vs. state because i like to imagine a single person fighting a whole state out of their own sheer rage (ponder ♚ i love when court cases)

[personal profile] impheired 2016-01-26 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Tch, like we all wouldn't use it. Not really a selfish request if you think about it that way. I'll help pay for it, at least.

[He'll even help you watch your dramas! Maybe. Possibly. Y'know, only if it's something he likes.]

[And you swear not to tell anybody.]


That's not a half bad idea though, especially since more of us keep showing up. Easier than having to try and remember everybody's schedules, that's for sure.

[personal profile] monarchical 2016-01-26 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Truly?! Will you be watching some shows with me, Kuzuryuu-san?!

[ GET HOOKED ON A DRAMA W/ HER ]

As to the schedule board, I believe it would be most useful! I already do not remember what everyone is doing...there are rather a few too many of us.
