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.

[Astrid wasn't even really sure what the laptop was for just yet, only that it held some kind of magic that made the screen glow when she opened it, so it's lucky for her that he's taken the "warn in person" route.

She pulls her hand in front of her again, brows furrowing as she tried to get more than a weak lick of flame spinning on her palm. If it was going to be happening, she wanted to be able to control it, rather than just having it flare up (har har) when her anger did. His comment gets her attention back, and the fire vanishes completely to be replaced by a creeping smile.]

Love them, actually. Miss my own.

[Flash watches the flame, raising an eyebrow. So that's what it looks like in person-he hasn't had any flames pop up yet, but he's expecting them.]

A guy on the network said his were shooting out when he sneezed. So if you feel a sneeze coming on, you might want to aim for something that's not flammable.

[If anything like that existed here. Whole town was a firetrap. Her response, though, gets a nod.]

So that makes two people now who know something about dragons besides 'crap, I'm turning into one.' I guess that counts as progress, except for the part where more people are stuck here now.

[strikingviking]

[Well that sounded...dangerous and disgusting.] I'll keep it in mind. [Luckily, her magic still wasn't very strong.]

Only two? [But dragons were all over... Well, not here, she supposed. It still weirded her out to not have seen any since her arrival.] Is...everyone who's brought here turning into something else?

[call_me_flash]

[Flash blew out a sigh. Always fun, breaking further bad news, but it was another one of those 'better done in person' things.]

As far as anybody can tell? Seems like it. I haven't see anybody going 'hey, I'm miraculously not sprouting things like everybody else!' ...If there are, they're keeping really quiet about it.

[strikingviking]

Yeah. Though...I guess I might, if I wasn't changing.

[It wouldn't be very hard to feel bitter when coming across a regular human, with the ugly flaking skin and the fire in her shoulders. Well, at least she'll get to fly. The scales that have come up to the surface had a nice shimmer to them, too, so that wasn't all bad.]

...So do they hurt now? The wings.

[call_me_flash]

They hurt like crazy when they first popped out. And when they were growing, they were mostly annoying-kept hitting the chair, and trust me, it's not worth it to try and hide then.

[He stretches out the wing on the non-sling-wearing shoulder, shrugging a little.]

Now it feels like they're just normal limbs, in a really weird place.
