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.
2crack: (yeah)

[Tuffnut lifts the kid up on his shoulders, enjoying the opportunity to bellow out at all the nearby townspeople.]

HEY! WHAT KIND OF HOSTS ARE YOU? YOU'D LET A LITTLE GUY LIKE THIS STARVE RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSES? GET THIS KID SOME FOOD!

[That should get him the attention he needs. Perhaps too much of it, if there are townsfolk who lost children to the glass witch who want to fawn over him.]
liquidbaby: (10)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-10 10:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ When he's lifted up like that, Ron starts to giggle. He's feeling so tall all of a sudden! He can see so far!

He's forgetting all about being pretty hungry for a few moments. ]


I can see to the north pole!

[ And then they're getting crowded and he can't see the north pole anymore. ]
2crack: (grrr)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-10 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, really? Where?

[Tuffnut tries to get up on his tip-toes so he can see it too, but then he doesn't have any idea what the north pole is supposed to look like. Is it one of the street lamps? They all look the same.

After a moment of this, he lowers the kid back down next to him, batting away any grabby hands that don't have food in them.]


I said feed him, not smother him. And don't touch my plate! Don't you think I didn't see that, buddy.
liquidbaby: (6)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-10 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
There!

[ Ron doesn't know what it's supposed to look like either, he just knows that it's really really far away. And he can see so far, because Tuffnut is a lot taller than Ron is.

Ron takes Tuffnut's hand when he becomes uncertain why so many people came all of a sudden. And people without food too, even though the grown-up had asked about that. ]


Um, um, why's everyone so close, um, what about the food? I'm hungry.
2crack: (agree)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-10 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh... Hang on. Here.

[Tuffnut picks a person at random to grab from. He's pretty sure the food was being offered and there's plenty to go around if it wasn't (probably) so he shoves that in Ron's direction.]

Eat up. Now no one can say I haven't ever helped a kid in need.
liquidbaby: (4)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-10 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He has to let go of Tuffnut's hand in order to take the food, or it would tip over and fall on the ground, and that would be really sad. ]

Thank you.

[ He smiles at Tuffnut and the person he took the food from. Um... he should sit down and pray first, he's been taught to do that, but he's too hungry, and digs right in. ]
2crack: (listen)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-11 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
I tell you what, kid. [The viking starts on his own food again, so he's speaking with his mouth full.] It's typical for me to not know what's going on at any given time, I can admit that. But right now I have even less of an idea of what's going down than usual. I mean I can't be the only one, right?

[Right now this just seems like the weirdest festival he's ever seen. He's already gone through the whole deal where he thought he was going to turn into some dragon monster thing, so he feels like this is almost a little redundant. Though he could have used all this food the last time around. The others had only made fun of him then.]
liquidbaby: (7)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-11 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know a lot either. [ But he's five, so he's kind of excused, isn't he? ] I can't read the papers.

[ He can read very slowly, and not all words. Sch? What's that supposed to be? He knows the individual letters, but not all of the small ones. ]
2crack: (log)

[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.]
liquidbaby: (5)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-12 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't like fire, it boils me.

[ No Ron, not since you got here-- Oh well. ]

But I wanna burn paper too.
2crack: (heh)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-12 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[It boils him? Tuff's fairly sure he means it 'burns' him, but far be it from him to correct anyone on their word choices, especially a kid. That'll just leave things open for everyone to correct him on his grammar, and screw that.

He gives Ron a hearty pat on the back.]


Alright! We got ourselves a little troublemaker in the making. You just listen to Uncle Tuffnut and I'll set you on the right path. The path of awesome.
liquidbaby: (10)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-12 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it really that awesome to burn paper, uncle Tuffnut?

[ It makes his eyes sparkle a little bit. He's never been awesome before. ]
2crack: (scandalous)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-12 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, paper's just sort of a starting point. Burning it isn't that fun unless you have a whole lot of it. You need to work your way up to burning buildings and forests. That's when you get the best bonfires, my little friend.

[No seriously. Terrible role model.]
liquidbaby: (7)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-12 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
But houses are for Godzilla to step on, right?

[ Not... that... either... ]
2crack: (eh)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-13 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[The viking raises an eyebrow, confused by the question.]

... What's Godzilla?
liquidbaby: (4)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-13 09:25 am (UTC)(link)
It's a reaaaally big crocodile.

[ Nor really. Really. Really not really. ]
2crack: (where?)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-13 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure that's not a dragon?

[There are wingless dragons, this makes complete sense. Godzilla would absolutely be a dragon in his world.]
liquidbaby: (10)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-13 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Godzilla is a dragon?!

[ Oh god, he's suddenly so excited. That's so amazing! ]
2crack: (whatever)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-14 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Really big lizard? Sounds like a dragon to me. And I have experience with dragons, you know. I ride one.

[Well, half of one, anyway. He has to share it with his twin. Still, that's gotta be worth some admiration.]
liquidbaby: (11)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-16 11:31 am (UTC)(link)
Dragons are real?!

[ Oh boy, he's going to explode in excitement. ]
2crack: (scandalous)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-16 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah. Obviously.

[Okay maybe not so obviously here.]

Well just take my word on it, okay? I totally ride one.

[Half of one.]
liquidbaby: (11)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-17 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Is it coming here?! I wanna see!

[ He tugs at Tuffnut's shirt in a "please" kind of gesture. ]
2crack: (dizzy)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-17 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, uh. I don't... know.

[Sorry, kid. They weren't exactly a packaged deal.]
liquidbaby: (15)

[personal profile] liquidbaby 2016-05-17 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ His face falls. He wanted to meet the dragon too. ]

Okay.
2crack: (fear)

[personal profile] 2crack 2016-05-17 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I know. I miss them already.

[He sighs, leaning back on the bench.]

But if they can bring us they can bring them, right? Maybe I can ask about it.
