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.

Quite the warning in there, I'll be watching the papers then.

If I'm correct in my assumptions, even if I -did- have one, I'm not sure I'd want to trust it with someone ready to use it on themselves...

Not unless you're a troll, I suppose. Rocks are fair game.

[nameditforhim]

Just the teeth, friend.

[noasark]

Teeth?

Well that one's new. Normally I see this question about claws.

I still don't recommend it by the way; with the luck we have here they'd just grow back.

[nameditforhim]

That's what the borrowing's for. If it works, I'll buy one. Otherwise, why bother?

[noasark]

Honestly the better question is still why you want to use something other than a proper dental file.

[nameditforhim]

I don't figure most people would have a dental file.

[noasark]

There's probably about as much chance they'd have a bolt file as a dental file.

You would be better off asking for a nail file...not that it would likely be very effective, granted, but still.

[nameditforhim]

I deal with more bolt files than dental files.

And nail files won't work at all so why bother?

[noasark]

That was the point wasn't it?

At any rate that's you not the people you're asking. I take it you work with machinery though.

[nameditforhim]

I do indeed, or often enough. I work with a lot of things.

[noasark]

Vague, aren't you?

Well no matter-obviously you'd have use for the file whether or not things worked out regardless then. Need the nearest store address if no one else pans out?

[nameditforhim]

Wouldn't mind it. Never turn down information. It's a motto of mine. Or it would be, if I believed in sticking with mottoes.

[noasark]

Sticking with phrases that tend to be situational in the first place is never wise after all~

[The address-located in Bavan-is given all the same.]

Bavan's human populous can vary in how 'excited' they get about these things, as a note.

You might convince them to lend you one for free just because of what it's for.

[nameditforhim]

Never accept ANYTHING for free, neighbor. There's always a price attached and if you can't see it, it's usually steep.

[noasark]

Or at least embarrassing.

They'll probably want to watch you file your teeth.

[nameditforhim]

That I wouldn't mind. I admit, I'm not exactly the kind of person who minds attention.

I worry about the kind I might get around here, though. If I'm honest.

[noasark]

Enjoy Bavan then~

Finding yourself 'ahead' of the times here? [It's the best guess he has from that kind of worry-most that he's met are from a few decades after where this technology would have been seen after all.]

[nameditforhim]

That would not be inaccurate, no.

[noasark]

Well, welcome to the club I suppose. Coming from a time where 'virtual reality' and solid light existed, this has been quite the jump.
