JANUARY TEST DRIVE MEME

- 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.

Huh? I don't even have to ask you...?
[Her big sister is the best. She doesn't even have to ask for all these nice things! ...she won't even complain if it tastes bad. Much.]
They still say shitty things. Stupid commoners... Tch. It's like they want to make a horror movie and get everything wrong. That won't happen.
[According to some, Saionji's already a monster so what would chage, honestly?]
no subject
Yeah, you're right. All that talk about monsters and whatever... that's definitely not going to happen. It's pretty much impossible, anyway.
What, do they think they're in a fairy tale or something?
[That's said with a dismissive - yet kind of amused - sounding snort, as she leads Hiyoko away from where they were.
... Is there even a candy shop, here? She never thought to look for one, until now.
Oh, well. No time like the present, or something like that.]
no subject
And if it is possible, it's just a disease. We just have to keep away from those that are infected.
[Maybe now is not the time to bring up the Despair Disease. That can wait. There does seem to be something--]
Wait, is that the candy shop? It looks old and shitty.
[Looks like they've found a local drugstore. With advertisements of candy in the window.]
no subject
You probably wouldn't be okay with a bag of gummy bears, right?
[She knows Saionji's likes, after all! Still, she's going to peer in the window, in between a couple of the taped up advertisements.]
They've got a lot of treats in there - drinks, snacks... it's all weird, western, old-timey looking stuff, though. What the heck is a "Bit-o-Honey"...?
... Actually, I kind of want to try some of these, myself. Let's go in anyway, okay?
no subject
[Which is very likely. Still... Gummy bears were a western candy, regardless of the brand. She probably could find another similar kind here.]
So, we're not just stuck in the past we're stuck in the west. Great. [Pout.] I guess we might find something in there. Maybe there will be something caramel, at least...
[She does wonder, though.] No idea what a 'Bit-o-Honey' is, though.
no subject
[Koizumi's going to go ahead and open the door to the shop then, holding it open for Saionji to be polite.
And as she enters, she's going to root through her pocket as well; it's a good thing those weird locals were so generous, honestly. If they weren't, she wouldn't even have the handful of change she has now...]
I know you only like your brand, but I'll get you anything you want anyway.
Maybe we can try something new together, too. Who knows, maybe it'll be really tasty?
no subject
Well, don't make promises you'll regret.
[She... probably won't make any unreasonable requests, though. Koizumi is very lucky.]
... Nothing sour, though.
no subject
[... Aw. She'll gladly let Saionji have her hand again, as they wander through the aisles.
They probably look like actual, blood-related sisters right now!
She stops in the middle of one of the small rows, to check out one of the glass jars of candy.]
... Wow. Only one of these coins for five of those little chocolates? That seems so cheap...
[Even though she has no idea how this place's currency works, that's still... whoa.]
I guess I really can get whatever you want, if everything's this cheap.
no subject
Only no-brained idiots like that muscle head probably would enjoy those.
[Sorry Owari.]
...What? That can't be right!
[She leans in and, man. That is cheap. She checks a jar next to it--little wrapped caramel squares.]
Caramels!
no subject
And next to them, there's caramels with cream in the center, too!
[She's actually doing her best to make it seem like nothing's happened - not just for her pseudo-sister, but for herself as well. She doesn't want to think about what happened.
That's the last thing either of them need right now... and besides, she'd rather save it for if she sees a certain gangster again.]
... There's gummy candies too! Want some gummy bears?
no subject
[Really, lucky there Koizumi. Anyone else would have ended up buying the entire store for her. ...god save the Kuzryuu if Saionji is near that particular incident.
She might have backed off him for the moment but that doesn't mean she wouldn't jump back on in an instant if Koizumi needed her.]
... Lemme see.
[It's definitely not her brand. She looks over the gummies and--points.] Those. I don't see any lemon ones in that group.
no subject
Once it's all paid for - taking only a little handful of coins - she'll keep a hold on Saionji's hand and lead her back out of the store.]
... How about we find somewhere nice to enjoy these? Like a courtyard with benches or something?
It'd be a nice change of pace, I think.
no subject
We can do that. It's too cold for butterflies but I wonder if any Mister Ants are about...
[Saionji no.]
