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.

[When Eren folds in on himself and collapses, Reiner crouches down across from him, so they're still at about eye level. Reiner wishes he had some kind of snack that he could offer him, or at least that Eren would stop acting out so they could go get one. Maybe he'll stop being so wrathful when he gets some food in his belly.]

[When Eren makes his accusation, Reiner's eyes go wide, just for a moment, and then his face closes up on itself, becoming cautious and guarded. He crosses his arms over his chest, and glowers, suddenly seeming even bigger than before.]

That's not funny. You shouldn't say things like that.

[The Armored Titan is a monster, one of the two mass murderers of mankind. Reiner would certainly never call himself that.]

[Oh Reiner. It IS funny. Or, well, that might be what he'll think when Eren starts laughing. He covers his face with one hand and laughs into it. But it's not a pleasant, joyful laugh. It's a laugh of frustration, of anger, of disbelief. He laughed because there was nothing else he could do.

Eren was ruthless, but... he can't totally suppress the memories from their training days. Reiner had always been like a big brother to everyone in the 104th. Kind, responsible, always willing to listen and give advice, even if that advice wasn't always the best. THAT was the Reiner here, right now.

And Eren couldn't bring himself to attack that Reiner. His rage, his revenge, it would have to wait until Reiner remembered.

But that didn't mean he was going to be Reiner's friend again. He was still the Armored Titan. He had still been responsible for the deaths of so many... whether he wanted to believe it or not]

You... you're really something else, aren't you. What the hell am I supposed to even do?

[Reiner doesn’t know what Eren’s problem is—and no small part of him doesn’t want to know, afraid of where that path might lead—but he’s glad that he’s calmed down a little. Reiner crosses his ankles and folds himself down into a sitting position across from Eren, pausing to dig around a little in the pocket of his pants. He pulls out a rectangular thing, wrapped in shiny paper, and offers it to Eren.]

Here, eat this. It’s called a candy bar. It’ll make you feel better.

[Reiner smiles a little, eager to answer Eren’s question.]

You find a place to stay, and then get a job. It’s not that bad here. I can help you find one, if you want.
