TEST DRIVE : MAY 2016 EDITIOIN

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 MAY 20ST 12:01AM EST.
  • There is an Enable Me / App this Plz to see what some people are offering or would love to play.
  • 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, and already SOME 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."

Then there's the people who aren't happy to see you at all. Glares and silent, judging stares if you're lucky. Torches and pitchforks attempting to drive you out of the town if you're not. You may need a friend to help you.

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.

[Well they're definitely strong enough...so the boy nods, trotting around to look for the longest of the vines. Once he's found it, he'll use one hand to hold it out a bit...better to go and cut fast, than to try pinching until it's cut right?

Three...

Two...

Please don't move before he does-

liquidbaby: (6)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-11 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He does because he's changed his mind. ]

I'm scared.
soft_focus: (o0o)

in my defense he uses that tail as torque while running-

[personal profile] soft_focus 2016-05-11 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah-!

[GOOD THING HE DIDN'T SLASH- Though he does stumble a bit before dropping the vine. This is quite the problem if they're going to jump rope sooner rather than later though.] ...Hmn...

[Wait. Brilliant idea-] ...What if we used my tail instead?

[Seriously, it's like. Five feet or something. It's pretty intense.]
liquidbaby: (7)

why didn't they think of that in the beginning XD

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-11 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh. He hadn't even thought about the other boy's tail. Even though the tail is way longer than Ron is tall. ]

It won't hurt if we step on it?
soft_focus: (.w.)

CHILDREN...

[personal profile] soft_focus 2016-05-11 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Will it hurt? He has to think about that. ...Probably, actually. But he doesn't think Ron weighs that much, so it's probably fine.]

Nope!

[Famous Last Words.] We can use it! [He just wants to try jump rope at this point...]
liquidbaby: (10)

they're so tine...

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-11 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ron is extremely tiny even for his age, more of a three or four year old's size rather than five, so he weighs very little. It will probably hurt more if Reira lands on his own tail, since he's bigger and older. ]

Okay.

[ He's so happy that he'll get to try jumping rope. ]
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

it's only tdm and this cr is so cute...aaaaaaaa,,,

[personal profile] soft_focus 2016-05-11 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fortunately in that case, Reira will only be able to blame himself.

Unfortunately, they now hit the next snag.
] ...So what do I do with it?

[He's assuming jumping is involved but he honestly has no idea Ron-

Reira's childhood was not very game filled before Ryslig to say the least.

i really can't wait for apps to open omg

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-11 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ron didn't have any friends, since he wasn't popular at the orphanage. "Your eyes are too big", he had been told, or "you're just a baby", even though he was the same age as the others. "You're too small, playing with you'd be boring".

Hmm, but what do you do? Other kids had... ]


We stand face to face and one of us take your tail in our hands with one hand at every end and spin it.
soft_focus: (............no? D:)

someone closer to Reira's age I'm astounded-

[personal profile] soft_focus 2016-05-11 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Face to face...

[......................shoot.] ...But my tail comes from behind...

[He's not sure it moves that way.]
liquidbaby: (7)

that's what happens when there's a cute kid in a suicide centric manga

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-11 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
You think it won't work?

[ He has no idea how his tail can move or not. ]
soft_focus: (-bites lip-)

:'3

[personal profile] soft_focus 2016-05-11 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
If I'm looking in the other direction it will..!

[...But.] ...But I can't make my tail go around and still spin...
bedazzlings: (taking over tonight)

[personal profile] bedazzlings 2016-05-11 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what? Me too. There are so many neat people to meet here, don't you think?
awesmazings: (☼ heaven can wait ☼)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-11 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
They sound rad though! What else does Japan have, if you guys don't have monsters?
awesmazings: (☼ and all the gods)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-11 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, people keep sayin' we're gonna all turn into monsters eventually. That's pretty weird, huh?

[Jimmy doesn't actually seem all that concerned, though. Either he doesn't believe it, or he's taking this a lot easier than he really should.]
awesmazings: (☼ and it pleased the Lord)

[personal profile] awesmazings 2016-05-11 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jimmy pauses, leaning over so he can look at JW's snake half again.]

No, I mean like...do you have trouble with it personally?
birdarang: (um>?)

one!

[ Robin stands nearby, with a handful of similar pamphlets in his hand. One or two he really delved into, the rest he just kind of...skimmed over. He had a friend who could change into whatever animal he wanted, so Robin didn't doubt that there were people here who could do the same. He was just very, very doubtful that he himself would start changing out of nowhere. Out of the entire team, Robin was the only one with no special powers. It wouldn't make sense for him to just pop something out of nowhere, right?

He's done looking at them. When he's approached, he crosses his hands and gives the older man a look that pretty much screams he's not impressed. The way this guy spits out the word 'meaning' makes him raise an eyebrow. ]


Good question. Didn't you do your homework? [ Robin waves the pamphlets around. ] We got plenty of it.

There's barely a sound of warning before what seems to be some sort of kitchen knife tied to a length of thin rope whizzes past the Medicine Seller's head and lodges itself in a nearby tree. From in the branches above the path, there's a burst of loud, furious cursing. It's very different from the strange, ethereal laughter that's been haunting this area of the forest for the past few hours. This sounds like it's actually emanating from a human throat. A very irate human.

Beyond irate, actually. He's mad at being lost, mad at his makeshift weaponry being fucking useless, and most of all mad at himself for being responsible for both of those things. On top of that, it looks like he's just tried to kill a normal guy instead of whatever's doing the GODDAMN LAUGHING. Not that it would have bothered him terribly if he'd actually managed to pull it off. He's mostly angry that he got the wrong target.
tadanokusuriuri: Very superstitious (Cut that shit out)

[personal profile] tadanokusuriuri 2016-05-12 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
It's understandable, honestly -- getting all hysterical and angry. A common human response to stress, to fear, to being out of one's depth.

Not a helpful response, but a common one.

Even a moment before the unseen assailant's voice bursts forth in the trees, the Medicine Seller is turning to look up into the branches. His instincts are somewhat dulled here, without the ability to sense the supernatural the way he usually can, but he's still more than sharp enough to figure out which way the projectile came from.

Silently, he raises a hand to try and take hold of the length of rope, his eyes still fixed on the source of the laughter.

"...Who's there?"

[personal profile] under_the_wire 2016-05-12 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Crap. Now the guy has his rope. Ja'far yanks his arm to the side to try to get it free and to hopefully dislodge the knife, but he just can't get enough strength behind it. He can feel the rope dig into the skin of his arm, but it's nothing he's not used to. If your knives haven't given you scars by the time you're his age, you must be slacking off.

"None of your business!"

Generally, the most important skill of an assassin is stealth. Generally.

It needs sugar and milk.

But it's a great thing to talk over.
gopluckyourself: no they are not they are a type of sea gerbil. (are penguin a bird?)

The sympathy is nice, sure, but unnecessary, and Beatrice waves it off with an impatient gesture. At least it tells her something else about Lorna-- it's probably not the fact that Beatrice eats people that's got Lorna so timid and on edge. That's almost definitely just a personality trait. That she knows how to deal with, thanks Wirt.

"Right, yeah, whatever.Had been ill? As in you lifted the curse somehow before you showed up here?"

It's a long shot, and it's not like scissors worked, but... it would stupid not to hear how she got out of it, right? Of course.

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-12 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh. Why would you want to do that? You're too young to be wasting your time with papers. At least not unless you're burning said papers. I'd say you're too young for matches too, but there are some forms of destruction I believe kids should start practicing at an early age.

[Tuffnut would make a terrible babysitter. Usually his peers play damage control.]

Six?

[Eddie stares, slack-jawed, up at Jake, then shakes his head.]

Hell, no, I didn't notice, you were right there with me! Not—not in some fucked-up hell-town with deer antlers and hooves and shit.

[He sits up, finally, perhaps because he's realized that he isn't actually dying, and runs a hand through his hair. He cringes; the webbing between his fingers makes it weird.] I remember that, too. It just happened. We're all fine, you, me, Roland, Suze—

[He pauses, and his stomach drops at the realization that the rest of their ka-tet isn't nearby.] Jake, where are they?

[what else does Japan have... what doesn't it have? that's a pretty broad question! Jyushimatsu thinks for a moment. and then he answers with]

Robots. We have cool robots!

[of all the things he could have said...]
