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.

At Alisa's theory, Kota looks a bit peeved. That was the shittiest thing he'd heard since he was told he'd have to eat souls one day. That, incidentally, was something he was secretly dreading. It's bad enough that they had to hurt people, but eating a soul was different than drinking blood or eating flesh. It was a special kind of evil.
But that wasn't the point right now. The point was that being petrified during the day was just stupid.]
So the sun turns you into a statue? That's stupid! How do they expect you to get anything done during the day?
[It doesn't occur to Kota that the Fog God's probably not concerned with monsters getting their errands done with any amount of convenience.]
no subject
I don't think that this 'Fog God' everyone keeps going on about cares about whether or not we're inconvenienced. If they were, they wouldn't have done this to us.
[They wouldn't have ripped them away from their home, wouldn't have turned them into these horrible things. Wouldn't have made them need to hunt and eat people like some sort of miniature aragami. She realizes her tone is sharper than she intends it to be, and that flat look becomes a lot more apologetic.]
...but I agree, it is troublesome.
no subject
She wasn't wrong though, nasty tone notwithstanding. This was a being who'd taken them away from their home, their loved ones, and turned them into...whatever the hell they were supposed to be. A dragon and a shadow-ghost-thing. Even if Ryslig was mercifully free of aragami and its people didn't live in the same kind of hellish wasteland they did, they still had monsters to fear. Kota hated being one of those monsters. A God Eater was supposed to protect people from things that would hurt them, not become one.]
Yeah, you're right...
[He looks downcast for a second before bouncing back again. Kota was never the type to mope for prolonged periods of time.]
Maybe you could wear a cloak or something during the day! I've seen a whole lot of people around town wearing them, you know? It's pretty obvious that they're like us; you can see that they've got horns and stuff by the way the hood falls.
[Why else would you go around in a cloak all the time like some sort of cheesy costumed villain?]
no subject
The cloak's not a bad idea though. Alisa's seen plenty of people wearing them herself, seen the bulges on their backs that must be wings and the points under the hood that can't be anything but horns. A few of them had perfectly normal silhouettes, which told her that creatures like her weren't the only ones who had issues with daylight.
Speaking of which, she's noticed how Kota's been trying to avoid the daylight himself lately.]
Perhaps we should get you one as well. You've been having some problems with the sun yourself, have you not?
no subject
[Here he grins a sheepish grin.] Actually, it gives me an excuse to sleep late so I guess it's not all bad.
no subject
All the more reason for me to buy you one. You shouldn't use this as an excuse to be lazy.
[Maybe something yellow. Kota did seem partial to bright colors like yellow and orange. She pockets some of the stone shards that are worth keeping, then motions down the street with a tilt of her head.]
Shall we head back home? I'm sure we'll make people uneasy if we linger here too long, and besides, after a day spent out here going home sounds nice.
[Normally she'd fly but out of courtesy for Kota she'll walk.]
no subject
[Is that whining? Sure sounds like whining. Though he could use the cloak on those days when he's not sleeping until dusk, so he really shouldn't complain.
He nods in agreement with Alisa's statement, glad she's choosing to walk with him and not fly. You'd think shadow-ghost-things could fly, but apparently that's not the case.]
Yeah, I guess you'd want to go back home after spending all day out here, right? What was it like, anyway? Being a statue, I mean.
no subject
I'd imagine if I were aware it would be quite terrifying, but as it stands there's not much to say. Shortly after the sun hit me and I began to petrify I lost consciousness. I wasn't aware of anything at all until I awoke at sunset. [And panicked, tearing away the stone as if her life depended on it. For all she knew it did; Alisa had no idea how much time had passed and who knew if someone was poised to smash her while she was vulnerable? She was well aware that not everyone was monster-friendly.
On that note, there was something that had been eating at her. Might as well bring it up.]
...not to change the subject, but this has been worrying me for quite some time. I wanted to know your thoughts on it. [She took a breath before continuing.]
Say we find a way out of here. Do you...do you think they'd still be able to accept us like this back home?
no subject
Sure they will! I mean, it might be a little hard at first because of what we look like now, but we're still the same people, right? [Their team had pretty much adopted an aragami as one of their own and given what happened with Lindow, Kota really couldn't see anyone turning them away because of their inhuman forms. Plus, who knew? If they ever did get back home, maybe someone there could figure out a way to change them back.]
As long as we're still us, I can't see anyone back home turning us away. Not after everything that's happened.
no subject
[It might take a little time for people on base in general to look past their monstrous forms, and in all truth Alisa suspected those who weren't part of the First Squad might never. As far as changing them back went, if it was a disease like some theorized, then maybe Dr. Sakaki could develop a cure. If it was a curse, she couldn't see anyone back home being able to ever return them to human form.
She paused a moment before continuing on, clarifying what she meant.]
What I mean is the hunger. You know what I need to do already, and what one day you will too. Do you really think they can accept us knowing that we'll need to eat people? Do you think they'd...they'd be safe with us around?
[How could they feel safe, knowing that there were cannibalistic monsters roaming free in the Den itself?]
