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.

[The snap reaches his ears. He knows the sound of bones breaking intimately, and while he can't quite see what it is the other man has caught in a death grip, he can at least tell it was alive a moment ago. Hunting, then. Very inefficiently, but desperation does drive humans to such measures, he's found.

At the laugh, the baring of the fangs - ah, that's very familiar. Sicks smiles in turn, entirely friendly except for an identical set of fangs, as well as the fact that the smile is slightly off. Not quite fake, but not exactly pleasant, either.]

An unusual coping strategy you've developed, then. I can't help but approve. [What else is hiding in these woods, he wonders? What else is the fog driving people to do, here at the depths of their lost humanity?] Don't mind me. Do whatever it is you were planning on doing.

[Ward doesn't like that smile. There's an inherent desire to not have anyone think less of him, give him a gun and he'd be better at hunting then anyone. Why should it be so different with his hands?

Defiantly, he sank his teeth into the squirrel and realized two things:

It was delicious.

It would have tasted better alive.

He chewed it all down, meat, paws and bones before he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.]

...Awfully calm for... [his nostrils flare.] ...awfully calm. For all of this.

[unless it wasn't happening to anyone else. Unless it was just him. he scratched at his head. There's a set of red welts, large red welts just under his hair line.]

Enjoying the show?

[The smell of blood races through him and hits the hunger hard, making it rage up in him and seethe through his sluggish veins. Even as his heart slows, it leaps at the smell; his body tenses, his brain momentarily overwhelmed by the urge to devour.

But he clamps down on it. He is in control, damn it all. Only the sudden stillness of him attests to the strain.]

I enjoy the sight of people struggling to overcome the inevitable, yes. The despair and disappointment when they fail is always a pleasure. [His eyes fix on the blood smeared across the man's hands.] I was waiting for this to happen, so of course I'm calm. All that's left is to determine what exactly I'm becoming.

[Once whatever wants to escape his skull does so, he figures it'll be a little more straightforward. For now, he waits, and watches his unsteady companion.]
