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.

Pain? [He skips right to that question, not lingering on his reassurance. Flynn isn't the type to stay hung up on that, especially in a situation like this. The other is... also changing, and therefore he trusts Kurama.]

Yes... there was pain. A lot of my bones broke, I think.

I see. Then your changes are more extensive than just the wings, I'd imagine. It's just a guess, but...flying creatures usually have hollow skeletal structures, in order to substantiate flight more easily. Lighter bones, less to hold up in the air.

[As he speaks, he begins to slowly move away from the street. He keeps it at Flynn's pace of course, not moving if the other is not secure in his footing.]

Your body is adapting, slowly. The question now is when did all this start happening to us, and why?

[whiteknightings]

They were becoming hollow? I don't understand any of this.

[Flynn sighs, moving along slowly beside Kurama, hoping his wings will listen to him and stay put.]

I don't know about that. There were others here before me, changing. It was a long time for me, so I didn't even think I would be affected by it...

[floralstrategem]

It is only conjecture, but to be honest, none of this makes sense. I'm not exactly used to parading about with ears and tail.

[Well....not this long a tail. It feels odd. And in general, he's not used to being in any alternate form with such severe initial pain and no explanation.]

But while we're on the subject, have you asked any of those "others" exactly what happened to them, and the period of time it took for them to start experiencing any ill effects? Maybe it's something we contract from our...journey here.
