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.

[...Wait, what is this? She didn't expect this! Still, Saionji takes her hand. Nothing strange at all here.]

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?]

[If she complains about the taste, she can look forward to getting bopped for it (maybe).]

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.]
nolemon: (Hahaha)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-18 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[She'd probably deserve it.]

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.]
kirlian: (13.)

[personal profile] kirlian 2016-01-18 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
... Well, it's not a candy shop, but it's got candy. Looks like some kind of convenience store...

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?
nolemon: (I can totally tie this)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-18 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
They probably don't have my brand.

[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.
kirlian: (3.)

[personal profile] kirlian 2016-01-18 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they'll probably have some caramels. You might have to put up with this kind of stuff, though, sorry...

[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?
nolemon: (But who cares right?)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-18 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[That means she has to let go of Koizumi's hand--! Which she does so but very reluctantly. What if something happens again? (Not that Saionji would ever say so but even as cruel as she could be that was something she didn't really want.) She follows and then grabs her hand again, pouting at the locals around them.]

Well, don't make promises you'll regret.

[She... probably won't make any unreasonable requests, though. Koizumi is very lucky.]

... Nothing sour, though.
kirlian: (8.)

[personal profile] kirlian 2016-01-18 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, of course no sour candies. I don't know how people enjoy those.

[... 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.
nolemon: (Yay!)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-18 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[They probably do! No one but their classmates could guess they were the same age at all. ...This really shouldn't be possible but here is Koizumi, talking with her like no time had passed at all.]

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!
kirlian: (3.)

[personal profile] kirlian 2016-01-18 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, there they are! Since they're so cheap, how about I buy a little bag full for you?
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?
nolemon: (Yay!)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-18 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
That'll work, Onee-san!

[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.
kirlian: (13.)

[personal profile] kirlian 2016-01-18 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
Right, you don't like lemon, I remember. [That's said with a smile of course, as Koizumi grabs a couple of the little store bags to fill with candies for the both of them. Gummies and caramels for Saionji, and just a few taffies for herself.

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.
nolemon: (Just a smaller yay)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-18 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Lemon is a crappy flavor, anyway. She takes the candies a little forcefully but...]

We can do that. It's too cold for butterflies but I wonder if any Mister Ants are about...

[Saionji no.]
