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.

Comments

Mm, well. As long as everyone is okay.

[ Hotarumaru accepts his headpats, this time. He think it's only fair, since he was able to pat Kogitsunemaru first. Being pet by a paw-like hand is a new experience, too. Softer. Feels less likely to make him shorter. ]

Kogitsunemaru-san, you know I can protect myself, too? [pauses] Ah, right, does that mean Mikazuki-san isn't here?

[aslyfox]

... as okay as anyone else is.

[ His strokes stop as Hotaru mentions Mikazuki, his smile fading slowly, replaced with a look of discontent. Tired, almost. Worry lines forming at the edges of his eyes and in the contemplative frown. ]

No. He disappeared not too long ago. Maybe a month ago? The hope is that he did return home, somehow.

[ Anything else would send Kogi into a spiral of despair. ]

[lampyris]

[ Noticing the headpats slow and stop, Hotaru realises what he said was a little insensitive. Kogitsunemaru and Mikazuki had always been close, after all, so bringing up his absence so casually wasn't the best thing to have done.

Reaching up, Hotaru places his tiny hands over Kogitsunemaru's, holding on in what he hoped was a comforting manner. ]

Don't worry, Kogitsunemaru-san. If it's Mikazuki-san, I'm sure he's just fine.

[aslyfox]

[ As soon as Hotarumaru puts his hands on Kogitsunemaru's clawed ones, he has to stifle a laugh--- which becomes a muffled bark! Clearly, while Kogi's been through Tough Times without the other grandpa...

... it's been a while since any of the former spirits had been as sincere or comforting as Hotaru. ]

I'm sure he is too. I suppose I just miss him.

[ An easy smile returns to Kogi. ]

Thank you. Sometimes, I forget how strong you are. I am sure you would do just fine here, but having allies here is very important. Just like at home, we need others to look out for us.

[lampyris]

That's okay. I didn't mean to make you sad in the first place, and what I said just now is true, after all.

[ Despite saying this, Hotarumaru keeps one hand over Kogitsunemaru's. You know, just in case he still feels bad. ]

Though, then, who else is here? Kuniyuki and Kunitoshi must not be, or you'd have told me already.

[aslyfox]

Mm. At this time... it is me, Yamato, Kane-san, Horikawa, Kousetsu, and Yamanbagiri. However, that may change at any time. The gods of this place are fickle. We're all different forms as well--- none of us completely similar.

[ A comforting hand. Something Kogitsunemaru didn't have for a while, but it's nice to receive the attention. ]

I heard Uguisumaru was here as well, but before many of us. Odd that he would be chosen, but he disappeared too.
