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.

[Come on, she knows you have a darkness in your heart just like her... why else would you be a shade?]

Help me make chocolate!

[That sounds innocent enough, right?]
hopefragment: even bones are weapons?! (eh?!*)

I don't know the first thing about making chocolate!

[Why does it feel like she's giving him an impossible task?? He just sighs.]

But yeah, okay. I can help you make chocolate. They'd have those ingredients at the candy store, right?

Someone around here probably does.

[Oh, it's not the task of making the chocolate that's the point of this task. It's about someone who can't eat the chocolate.]

They probably should, sure. [She throws up her arms.] Yay!

[Never mind the fact that Hiyoko actually likes lighter candies than chocolate but she has her mind set on something.]
hopefragment: *presents panties* (i'll prove it with this!*)

[DON'T FEED IT TO FUYUHIKO.]

If you want, I'll start a thread using my laptop to ask if anyone knows how, okay? I'm sure we'll get enough suggestions to filter out the ones that won't work.

[Why is he thinking like that...? Probably because he's around Hiyoko. He's glad he's apparently at least made her happy, for the moment.]

I didn't think you liked chocolate that much, though... it's not too foreign for you?
nolemon: (...except no I can't)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-01-31 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[She won't! She just wants to annoy him by having something he can't have and...]

That should do it! It can't be all that difficult. I mean, if stupid foreigners do it all the time...

[The joke is on you, Hiyoko. Making good chocolate is very difficult. Not that she knows it.]

Well... I thought that if I learned that then lighter sweets will be easier to make. Since the cretins here favor western style sweets.

[Also her favorite sweet, gummy bears, are foreign made.]
hopefragment: definitely not thinking about boobs (thinking carefully*)

[personal profile] hopefragment 2016-02-02 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Better be careful saying that around here too, you know. There's a lot of people who aren't Japanese here.

[Like... the entire island. She might not be his favorite classmate, but he still doesn't want to see anything happen to her (again). Protect her, even.

He doesn't know the first thing about making chocolates, so good luck to them both-!]


I guess that makes sense... that way you can get some practice with something for a more general audience, right?
nolemon: (Yay!)

[personal profile] nolemon 2016-02-02 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
I've danced oversea, you know. I know how to treat them.

[Don't mind the fact that she didn't seem to care much for the only foreigner in the group, either.

Surely nothing will go wrong!]


Exactly. That's why you're going to taste test it for me.
hopefragment: (here's the thing about when what's new *)

[personal profile] hopefragment 2016-02-02 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
W-what, me?! Don't you think-

[He was going to say Chiaki would be a better option for that, but then again... he can't throw precious Pixel Jesus under the bus like that. Not that Chiaki would probably mind too much, but... still, that seems cruel to volunteer someone else's free time.]

I-I mean, don't you think you should try the stuff you make yourself? It'll be easier to figure out what you like about it then, I think.
nolemon: (...except no I can't)

I don't eat chocolate normally so how would I know what it's supposed to taste like?

[At least she's not volunteering Fuyuhiko.]
