TEST DRIVE MEME



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: The State of the Game Discussion produced a lot of great suggestions and we now have a post for Plot Suggestions and Monster Questions. The NETWORK VOTE results are in and PRIVATE MESSAGING will be added some time in November. Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look. You can only app ONE character per round so choose wisely. Reserve and application dates have been announced. Test drive meme threads can be used for your roleplay sample! Sample scenarios: SCENARIO ONE: You've just been released from the hospital in Vandare and no one really seems to know what to do with you. The locals offer polite advice but don't seem to want to spend a lot of time with you. You and the other new arrivals stick out like sore thumbs, so perhaps one will spot you wandering about town. 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. 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.

_{[Newbies?]

[More like new meat.]

[J/K J/K Heather wouldn't eat a new kid. Or even anybody in broad daylight, really.]

[But they gotta learn this world plays mean somehow.]

[Which is why Eren, on this bright and brisk Bavan morning, is going to find his breakfast (pancake? corndog? giant handful of bacon? IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS) quite literally SNATCHED FROM HIS HAND by a nimble, scaly black foot.]}

THANKS.

_{[There goes your breakfast. It is sailing away in the grip of something with a pair of big black wings.]

[Bye breakfast.]}

[oh god, Heather, please don't eat him. He's all lean muscle and no fat, he tastes perfectly awful. Just ask Santa Claus Titan!

But Eren is, indeed, new. Bavan was even more amazing than Vandare was. The cars (he learned what they were called!) were even more fancy here, and the buildings were huge. There were radios, and televisions, and even small devices called "computers". To be perfectly honest, those confused Eren a good bit.

But one of the best things was probably the meat. Eren hadn't been able to eat like this since the Wall fell. Bacon and sausage and ground beef! It was luxurious/

Eren is eating a mysterious new concoction called a "breakfast sandwich" this morning. Made from a croissant and filled with bacon, a slice of sausage, cooked eggs, and cheese, it was pretty much one of the best things he'd ever shoved in his mouth. He was going for his second bite when--

SNATCH!]

... Ah?! What the hell?! [was that a bird? That was way too big to be a bird. And birds didn't talk!

Whatever it was, it had stolen his breakfast, and he was not going to take that sitting down. Literally, he wasn't going to sit down. Springing from his chair, he chases the bird thing down the street, shaking his fist and on the lookout for something -- anything -- that he could throw]

Come back here!! That's MY breakfast, you asshole! Give it back!!

_{[Eren might be used to chasing down giant naked people but is he used to chasing small BIRD people? PROBABLY NOT. Flight is pretty cool and your legs are short haha.]

[Heather wings down the street at an impressive speed before swooping upwards to alight atop a telephone pole with her stolen breakfast.]

[And just to elevate her levels of audacity even more, she throws a salute down to Eren.]}

[HIS LEGS ARE NOT SHORT!! And eff you, he is still a SOLDIER, and soldiers are GOOD AT RUNNING! He keeps pace with her, nearly running into several people on the street in the process. When she lands, he stands under the pole and glares up at her.

He doesn't even care that she's a crazy bird lady, she stole his bacon sandwich and that was not going to fly.

No pun intended]

Get down from there! I bought that, it's MINE, you stupid beast!

[Eren glances at the ground, then finds a small piece of dislodged concrete from the road, about the size of a large marble. He scoops it up and throws it right at her]

OOH!

Throwing insults at someone who you want something back from.

Not a good move.

_{[She sits, almost daintily, wings still spread slightly for balance so she doesn't just topple off. Her hands are occupied, but as the marble-sized asphalt block comes soaring up to meet her, she snaps it up in her toes, which are now as dextrous as her hands. Something she had to get used to, but now it's pretty cool.]}

Good aim, though.

Here, catch!

_{[Aaaand she throws it back down at him. :I]}

[Eren doesn't catch, just dodges the little piece of asphalt. This is not a game. This is his goddamn sandwich. Sure, he had scrounged up enough cash, he could get something cheaper for breakfast, or just wait until lunch. But now it was just the principle of the thing. He couldn't let himself be beat out by some weird talking bird!

He is a soldier! A Scout! And he's not afraid of birds!

Or heights

He looks at the telephone pole, noticing that there are metal bars stuck into the tarred wood at regular intervals. No doubt a way to climb the poles for service. Eren quickly starts scrambling up the pole with surprising quickness. Sure, she could probably just fly away, but there had to be points awarded for tenacity]

_{[Whoa. Guy's surprisingly agile. Well, she's not too threatened. Since, as stated, she could always flap off when he gets too close.]

[So she settles for watching him.]}

... Man, you must have gotten an A in gym class.

_{[As he nears the upper third or so of the post, she decides he needs to be rewarded. Picking a strip of lukewarm bacon out of the sandwich, she holds it out and drops it in the general direction of his face.]

[HERE U GO.]}

[he is a soldier, dammit, not just some kid with good grades in gym class!]

Shut up!

[of course, the bacon lands right on his face with a "splat". It was one of those unfortunate pieces, the victim of an uneven pan; floppy on one end and perfectly crispy on the other.

Well, he's not going to through away bacon, even if it was an annoying bird lady throwing it at him. He gobbles it down and keeps climbing]

_{[Omfg he actually ate it.]

[She can't fault him for it-- you gotta take food where you can get it, man. But she is amused.]}

Nuh-uh.

_{[She pulls another ingredient out and drops it-- this time it's the fried egg.]}
