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.

ITS OKAY WE'RE ALL SuPER BUSY /HUGS

Chris and Ashley are here? Really? [Even if Ashley had been part of the prank, she was only looking on, and she was far at the back of her mind. Both of them were still her friends, and after the ordeal she had gone through, she wanted to see them again.] Heh... I guess you are what you eat, huh?

[The hand that meets Sam's is elongated and boney, nails already proper claws. They're probably the closest to being a wendigo out of all her parts so far] ... Thank you, Sam. Really... I have nowhere to go anymore so going with you... it'd be perfect anyway.

[She doesn't want to go either. She wants to be with her friends, and even without her siblings, it would be enough to have those precious people back with her again.]
tiredofthis: (Okay?)

*HUGS TIGHTLY*

Yeah, they've been here for a little while. I just came last month, which is why I only look like a plant from the neck up. Hannah, they'll be so happy to see you. We've missed you so much.

[For a moment, something sad runs across Sam's face. Especially Josh. The look isn't allowed to stay, however. Instead, she keeps pulling.]

Where have you been staying until now? I can't believe I've been here a month and haven't seen you.
not_just_a_prank: (understand)

I haven't been here long too... I've only been here a month as well... which is why... I don't know. Which is why I probably can't tell what I am just yet. [That's a lie. She doesn't know what it's called, but she knows she's becoming the thing that had chased her and Beth to the cliffside. The giant, gaunt creature that had petrified her so badly, and was the last sight of the surface she had before ending up in the mines.

Hannah misses that sad face and she laughs a little, following along with the continual pulls. She had missed this. She had missed Sam taking charge. She had missed smiling and laughing with her.]


The hospital here, in Bavan. When I fell down in the mines, I broke my leg. I thought it would be broken still, so I went to the hospital, turned out that it had somehow healed. I ended up staying there helping the medical staff as an assistant... but when I started transforming yesterday, I decided to leave and try find somewhere else to stay.
tiredofthis: (Hurt)

[Hannah's words stop her, though Sam isn't letting go of her hand. It's that connection between them, the surety that they won't be separated again. Sam still expects to wake up, to find this all a cruel dream, and to have to go about her life in Ryslig knowing Hannah would never be more than that: a figment of a mind who wanted to have her back so badly. If it's true, if this is nothing more than a tired mind, it's cruel. Sam's accepted her loss, she's tried to move on. Having this be fake would hamper that so much.]

You...don't know? Hannah, how much do you remember? [It wasn't her fault, none of it. What else was Hannah supposed to do when trapped in the mines? It had been a horrible, horrible situation, and she had been forced to make that difficult decision. As someone who can't even bring herself to eat animal products, there's no way Sam can imagine having to eat her own sister.

The thing, the Wendigo, she had become after hadn't been her fault either. This Hannah wasn't that Hannah.]
not_just_a_prank: (eager to please)

[Hannah's grip on Sam's hand tightens. She's real. She knows she's real. But like how Sam was hoping that this wasn't a figment of her imagination, Hannah was hoping this wasn't one of hers, and she wasn't still underground, going mad with the reality of what happened and the ache of starvation. The woman isn't sure why her words makes Sam stop, but she frowns, the hollows of her cheeks even more apparent.]

... I remember falling and I remember the thirty days I spent in the mine after that. I remember all of it. [She bites her bottom lip gently.] I... Do you... Do you know something about it? Where I was? Did you see that thing that chased us too at the lodge?
