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.

[He had asked that in a jokingly-hyperbolic way, but he's finding a little extra humor rising in on the answer, sizing up (and down and quickly up again) the fellow he slammed into. Of course the answer would be yes...]

Ha - yes, perfectly so. [Soft, quick, but with certain heart.] Perfectly.

Don't mind me too much. I'm simply... [Rising a bit - not in volume, just inflection and air quality, in a way as if he's repeating an in-joke.] Getting acquainted with - very new surroundings!

And I'm assuming you're doing the same. [Another size up - well, what a nice coat you have, sir, how damp does it look...?] Of course, I can't possibly to claim that they are "very" new for anyone but myself.

[The story may have been that several of them were mysteriously fished out of the bay, but while he certainly wasn't, that doesn't necessarily mean that no one that was supposedly the case for actually comes from whatever land this is, or somewhere more like it - this is one still-living entirely different world already.]

[At least there's someone else here that seems to be taking it well - well enough to almost wonder what the Hell the guy came from to be this happy about being fished out of the ocean on another world.]

[He gave a weak smile - maybe a fragile one, but there.] Good to hear; I'd rather not have random injuries for a first impression.

[Oh, it's damp all right - it's not easy to get seawater out of quilted wool.] You've never seen this place before either, then?

[bigfatgreekfuneral]

[He laughs at the first part, soft and conversational.] I'm made of tougher stuff than I appear to be! [Maybe not quite in as literal a sense as is the norm, but hey! Denser stuff sure holds, though.]

And oh, no, I haven't -- [A wandering look up and down and around one side of the street.] -- don't think I've heard or read the name anywhere, either. It's certainly far from home.

[And not just geographically - in the most basic physical sense, it doesn't look so different from the city he used to live in, scaled down perspectivally to his change in size, but on that note...]

Haven't seen a city quite like this at all, in fact... And you? [Docilely entreating bounce to it. Let's get to know your story, o first stranger he's getting to talk to!]

[dragonspride]

[Maybe it's getting fished out of the water; maybe it's things mostly going better and enthusiasm rubbing off, but there's an odd feeling that things are looking up; maybe enough to relax and heal.]

Never heard of this place before either. [It's way more unbothered than it should be, almost content in the idea of being utterly lost...]

[Although now that he gets a better look around at the skyline again...] ...The cities on my world are all stone and wood - nothing like this at all.
