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.

aHH-! [The woman stumbles some as Fiddleford scurries in, only barely regaining her balance as she looks over.]

....

[........................Well if you're comfortable there.

She watched her housemate try to graze on the lawn, so perching on a couch is the least of potential irritations right now.] 'McGucket'?

[It is going to take her own tongue some time, with these various western names-!!] Yuuri Wakasa, [She introduces, bowing slightly.] ...Are you alright?

[terribibble]

[That's alright, it's going to take his tongue just as much time to work itself around all these various non-western names. Probably a little more considering his problem with both remembering words and saying them right.]

I'll be better when those hunters have passed by, Miss Wakasa.

[Well. He managed to get it right once.

His eyes flick nervously to the window. There's firelight flickering up through it and glancing across the ceiling, but it's moving and that means they haven't paused below. He might actually be alright in here.]

[fairlycapable]

[Hmm. Well. She looks to the window, watching the firelight pass before nodding.] You can stay in here until then, if you need; they won't be coming into the building. [A pause-]

It's illegal. [Hunting in the streets isn't; they're not legally protected like that not when they can cry 'self defense'.

But the building? Well that's trespassing.]

[terribibble]

[Logically that all sounds well and good. Of course it's illegal to enter a private building without a warrant (and 'he's a monster' doesn't count as a warrant). Still...]

They're lookin' to kill people, miss. With all due respect I don't think they give two pulls of a donkey's tail about what's legal.

[fairlycapable]

They do when the other party is human.

[There's more to this-trust her.] This building is 'human-owned'. While we ourselves lack the legal presence for a shot in the dark to be looked into...someone breaking into an apartment to kill a resident is another story.

[She smiles reassuringly.] In other words, you're safe as long as you're inside.
