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.

[ he has a sit down and Merida continues fighting her fatigue to get at least to her knees— although it's when she gets there that she realizes her state of undress and the sound she makes is somewhere between a gasp and a yelp.

whatever he'd been saying falls by the wayside as she wraps her fuzzy arms around herself and shoots him a look of deep disapproval (her mum would be proud). ]

Och, don't ye have a shred a' decency? I'm naked! [ that's the princess in her coming out. ] Ye can help me by givin' me your shirt, it's too small for ya anyway!

[Lindsey's normally sharp intellect is slipping. He realizes that half a heartbeat after when she says that. Hands up Lindsey. His hand is several sizes bigger then a normal human one before he stops, looking away and unbuttons his shirt. It takes longer then it should but he finally gets it off and hands it to her. Apart from a big rip in one arm hole it's probably the size of a tent on her.

When he gets it off she might notice there are the beginnings of raised bumps across his massive shoulders and very few patches of pink human skin left.]

Sorry. It's the sun. [There's a long pause] Everything gets...slower when the sun comes out.

[ her eyes widen at the sight of his hand (she could tell he was huge but really), but she keeps her arms wrapped around herself until he blindly hands the shirt over. despite knowing that he, like her, was going through changes, he gaze still rakes over the raised flesh on his shoulders.

some people, it was easy to tell what they might be turning in to. others, it was more difficult until it was too late to matter.

Merida pulls the shirt on, but she's easily swimming in it. it's as big as a sail on her, but at least she isn't naked anymore. she tucks some of her hair back, her round ear twitches with the movement, and wipes her face. when she speaks, she's much calmer than she had been. ]

Ye can turn back 'round now.

I didn't mean to look. [Lindsey runs a hand over his head - there's a motley tuft of it atop his head.]

You always keep the ears and the fingers?

[firefalls]

Ah...

[ she looks down at her hands (the fabric pools around her elbows) ]

Aye. Even durin' the daytime they don't go away. And that's usually when I'm feelin' ma best.

[evilhandissues]

[He tilts his head at that]

I'm sorry.

...I'm afraid all my social ...cues are going to rust.

[He frowns] Coming out here more and more. Maybe try staying to the city.

Seems to help.

[firefalls]

I can't.

[ and she sounds pretty miserable about that. ]

Not bein'— bein' like this! I mean there are times that I don't just look like a bear. It's like I become one on the inside too.

[ she curls her hands into clawed fists, then sighs and looks across at him. her gaze flicks over his own changes, and her shoulders sag. ]

Is it like that for you?

[evilhandissues]

[Lindsey just sort of stares at her for a moment. Is it like him?]

I was a lawyer. I was smart. Sometimes in the sun...I get slower. [He hates that] You're talking about instincts. Instincts is the word you're looking for. Do I have instincts?

[Silence. then, he raises a hand over a pile of rocks...and they roll over towards him]

I can do that.

That's sort of new.

[firefalls]

Well that's somethin'.

[ she looks curious about this ability of his. ]

If ye want ta build a house or somethin', I suppose.

[ look, she's trying to be positive here. ]
