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.

Like, wouldn't the fur get stuck in your teeth if you tried to eat one?

[... Shaggy, the pamphlets aren't about eating then. They're about becoming them.]
capital_asset: (Unsure)

I'm not sure we actually have fur-bearing trout, unless someone wished for them for... some strange reason.

[It takes all kinds.]
dogissues: (yell |)

[personal profile] dogissues 2016-05-24 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Like, why would somebody... do... tha...

[GUESS WHO FINALLY LOOKED UP FROM HIS PAMPHLET?]

Yipes!

[Shaggy reaches for Scooby but Scooby's gone and while he can clutch at dog-shaped thin air for a moment, he'd much rather run the heck away.

So instead he jumps up and, legs whirling so fast they blur, starts running.]
capital_asset: (I just work here.)

I'm not actually going to—

[Raidou rolls his eyes, exasperated. Not that the man's fear isn't understandable, since he's obviously new and may or may not even be from a world where monsters exist, but it does make it more difficult to relay the actual information he's going to need.

Should he track the man down? It wouldn't be that difficult, given that he's got his scent, knows the city far better than he probably does, and can fly. On the other hand, perhaps someone more human would be better - assuming he can find someone more human who's actually willing to follow him, which is by no means guaranteed. Raidou sighs. He might as well do the honors himself, preferably before the man gets himself hurt somehow.]
dogissues: (ohhhh |)

[Oh man, oh man, oh man, that was a manticore. Shaggy knew manticores, there'd been a manticore back at Creepy Spooky Terror Lan... no, wait, that hadn't been a real manticore. It had been Hot Dog Water. With, like, super helium or something that let her fly.

Shaggy's spinning legs grind to a halt. Right. That hadn't been a real manticore either, just some weird guy in a mask who would have got away with it if it hadn't been for that meddling... him. Nothing to be afraid of.

He'll just stand here wheezing for a moment.]
capital_asset: (Really?)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-24 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't take too long for Raidou to find him, which is probably fortunate for the man, however much he may not believe it. Better Raidou than a human with a pitchfork.]

Are you all right?
dogissues: (ohhhh |)

[personal profile] dogissues 2016-05-24 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Like, I guess?

[He's kinda hungry, but running does that. Actually, he's always hungry.]

So, like, um...

[He's staring at the manticore guy expectantly.]
capital_asset: (This seems dubious.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-24 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, he seems calmer, at least. Whether that means he's actually calm or he's just snapped is another question.]

What is it?

[He'd almost asked him if something was the matter, but that tends to lead to less than helpful answers.]

Like, you can take your mask off, now.

[He'll just reach over and help you with that.]
capital_asset: (I just work here.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-24 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[And Raidou will reflexively reach out and smack him with a wing.]
dogissues: (yell |)

[personal profile] dogissues 2016-05-24 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
Zoinks!

[That hurt.]
capital_asset: (This seems dubious.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-24 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry...

[...ish.]
