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 gods have truly sent an idiot to help her. With a groan and an intense urge to slap her face into her hands, Astrid lifts up her dress again, enough that she can chase after him easier.]

The yaks back home were much better behaved than you! [Just as stupid, really.]

[Not just any idiot. King Idiot of Idiotsville, located in the far reaching Idiot Mountains.

He does stop to let Astrid catch up though and if he knew what a yak was, he'd probably be insulted. He doesn't though, so he just grins]

You ain't seen nothin' yet! Jus' gettin' fired up! [But now he's eying that dress] Yo, that ain't really prastical for runnin' 'round... [Beat forgets about the lotion and starts looking for pants for the poor girl]

It's just a little long. [Which was unfortunate, because it did indeed make running around a little tougher than her usual skirt. But she does like the dress, even with that drawback. It was pretty.] And don't underestimate me! I can manage, even with this.

Stick to the mission, Beet, or we'll never find anything. Alliebera.

[Beat likes you, Astrid, willing to tough through even in weird ass clothes.] A'ight, yo! Try to keep up!

[Aaaand off he goes again, bellowing 'move move mooooooove!' to people in his way.

Though he does eventually stop and wave his arm around, holding a little bottle with something pink in it] Found somethin'!

[Meanwhile, Astrid's gone into grumbles along the lines of "Try to keep up" he says. Who does he think I am? as she follows after him. Still, it was useful to have someone clearing a path through the city's people ahead of her, and thanks to his volume and appearance, anyone who might usually stop her and ask her to play a bit part in something called a "movie" is too distracted to do so.

Not knowing what she's supposed to be on the lookout for, her eyes are peeled for anything resembling the hospital place from Vandare. It seemed like the most logical thing, since this lotion was sure to be a kind of medicine, but unfortunately Bavan was something else entirely and nothing really catches her eye. Astrid starts a bit at Beat's call, surprised that he'd actually accomplished something.]

You think that'll work? [She squints at the bottle, a little wary. What if it was a trick...?] Did you find it yourself, or did someone give it to you?

[Waiting for Astrid to catch up, Beat displays the little bottle of pink with a grin, then glances down to it] No clue, yo. Some guy said it might help and jus' handed it over!

[Beats too dumb to be suspicious, he pushes red possibly dangerous buttons after all, so he opens the little bottle. Nevermind it's pink and girly looking]

Guy said it was cowl-o-mine? [And without much amble, Beat just... goes ahead and pours some on his head cheerfully, getting it around the base of his horns before handing it over to Astrid, the tail behind him flicking left and right as he waits to see if the itching goes away]
