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.

[NO, NO IT IS NOT.

A sharp gasp that sounds more like a wheeze than anything tears from Dipper's throat, even though he knows it's coming. He stumbles back with his arms hooked at his sides, suddenly feeling rather useless out here in the middle of the forest with absolutely nothing to protect himself with on the off-chance that this person is lying through their teeth.

They sound okay enough, but that isn't going to be enough to keep Dipper from freaking out a little.]

_{[Heather has learned that she can be pretty terrifying when she wants to be. Especially now that she's a freakish inhuman monstrosity.]

[But she's not trying to be scary right now. So the thing that steps out of the canopy isn't frothing or snarling or doing anything else that's overly alarming. Aside from being, well, a bird person.]

[Because that's what she is.]

[Tipping her head to one side, she crouches there on the branch and idly scratches the back of her neck with one big, black talon.]}

Yo.

..........Hey.

[Wow, so. This is. ...a thing.

Dipper stays where he is, not coming any closer nor backing any farther away, taking the chance to get a better look at Heather in the gloom. And...yep, she definitely is a bird person.]

You.....uh.

...

You wouldn't....happen to know the way out of here....would you?

_{[IT MOST CERTAINLY IS A THING.]}

Well, if I had to do it on the ground, probably not, but I know how to fly out of here.

_{[She pauses, tilting her head the other way.]}

... I guess that wouldn't help you much, though.

_{[DIPPER YOU HAVE A VERY DISTINCT LACK OF WINGSPAN.]}

[YES, HE IS AWARE.]

No, not really.

Listen, I've been going in circles for hours. Is there any way at all you can help me?

I can probably show you out. If you're willing to trust that I'm not just leading you deeper into the woods, anyway. Because as little as you are, I doubt I can carry you up to the treeline to prove any of my points.

I...I don't know if I have much of a choice. I've been trying to find my way out for hours.

[And he just figures that if she wanted to do him harm, she already would have.]

All righty then.

_{[Spreading her wings, she hops down to a lower bough, grabbing a branch for balance with one scaly hand.]}

We're in for a long walk, though. Just warnin' ya. You wandered in deep.

_{[She flaps again, this time leaping to another tree. She'll have to stay in the canopy if she wants to have any idea where they're going.]}

It's better than going in deeper.

[He sighs, starting to follow her as she heads off into the forest.]
