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.

[Milla gives a soft sigh and shakes her head.] I hope you haven't been here for hours.

Come on, dear. Lets see if we both can get out of this forest. [Milla wishes she could just levitate them above the treeline to get a good idea of where they are, but that's not going to happen.]

[pinevestigator]

Heh, yeah...me too.

[It's felt like hours, what with how many times he's seen the same landmarks, and heard that awful laughter that seems to have been following him this entire time.]

Alright. My name's Dipper, by the way. I haven't really been here all that long.

[belongsontv]

It's a pleasure to meet you, Dipper. Odd circumstances aside. I'm Milla.

[Milla easily starts to lead the way, pausing to check what she can see of the night sky for some sense of direction. Life of a psychic secret agent has its perks. Survival training is always a must.] Following the stars should be a good start to get us out of here.

[pinevestigator]

[Dipper nods and starts to follow, pushing his hands into the pockets of his vest.]

Oh yeah. It's a little hard to get a good look at the sky through all these trees..

[belongsontv]

With what I can see, we're on the right track, baby. Certainly wouldn't hurt to check a little further. [She tries mentally reaching for levitation and finds no connection with her abilities. Any panic or uncertainty is shoved aside for now as she looks back at Dipper with a smile.]

Normally I'd get a higher vantage point my way, but ah, we'll have to do it the old fashioned way. [for a woman in platform boots and a dress, Milla surprisingly is able to find some footing on a tree branch and pull herself up.]

[pinevestigator]

[..well that is impressive, isn't it?]

Oh, uh- you sure you don't....uh...need me to help?

[Not that he's probably going to be getting up into that tree as easily any time soon.]

[belongsontv]

I'll be fine, dear. I've climbed larger trees in worse heels. [She calls back as she moves upwards in the tree. Milla's not planning on heading to the utter top of the tree, after all. Secret Agents live weird lives clearly.]

Just stay nearby, alright? [Though she's not vanishing from sight.]

[pinevestigator]

Yeah! I'm not going anywhere.

[What he does do, though, is crane his neck and look up to the sky while she climbs, trying to see if he can get a glimpse of the stars at all from where he's standing. It's not much help, considering how much is blocked by the canopy above, but it's better than standing and listening to the children laughing in the distance.]

[belongsontv]

[Milla doesn't take very long to climb, she finds a spot in the tree with thinned out foliage and gazes upwards. Even without a compass or her abilities, the stars give her a good idea of where they are.]

We're on the right track after all, dear! [She calls back down, already making her way back downwards. Only pausing when the giggling from earlier echoed through the forest around them.]

[pinevestigator]

Oh, great!

[...Giggling. Not so great.]

Guess we better get moving, then.

[belongsontv]

[Milla finds a sturdy enough branch to support her weight before carefully leaping down, landing on her feet. It was a risk, but Milla manages not to face plant. She dusts herself off as she listens to the laughter fade off.]

That would be for the best. I'd rather we not encounter whoever is laughing. [Milla has a solid suspicion that the laughter isn't coming from any actual children.] They seem to be having a good time on their own without us.

[pinevestigator]

Yeah...

[Dipper nods, glad at least that the laughter is beginning to sound a bit more distant.]

Maybe we're closer to the exit than we thought, and they just think it's funny that we keep missing it.
