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.

"What choice do we have?" he asks, his voice low. He doesn't want to deal with it, he doesn't want to think about it, but Archer already looks different than he used to. It's not enough to make Kimbley afraid or wary because he trusts Archer, but it is a reminder of what they're up against.

"I've already said it, but I'll say it again. I'll follow you wherever you go." It wasn't even out of a soldier's obligation, not entirely. This is what he wants to do. He joined Archer because he had wanted to return to the military to begin with, but there had been more to that. Archer had intrigued him then with that smug smile and his 'pleased to meet you' with a gun pointed at his chest.

Beyond that, they were friends. "I'm not going to sit back and let you do all the work."

"I know you will." It isn't ego that prompts Archer to say it, but rather a deep sense of trust. Kimbley won't betray him. Kimbley will follow whatever commands he gives. That's just the way things are in Archer's mind.

"I know you won't; there's no reason to keep you hidden from the people here. They don't know anything about you." As long as they don't find out about Kimbley's past, everything should be just fine.

"We'll fix this," he says, because he doesn't know what else to say. "Somehow." The odds are stacked against them in a way he's not comfortable with, but is that new, really? The fight with Alphonse not long ago was a reminder about how much time had passed for him in prison. He's not as strong as he used to be, he'll probably never be as strong as he used to be. If anything, he should be grateful he finally has the full motion of his hands back.

"Of course we will." He doesn't know whether he believes that or not, but right now it needs to be said. "Are you coming or not? I need to finish these errands." The subject change is abrupt, but he doesn't want to dwell on this any longer.

"Coming with you?" he looks startled for a moment, like he didn't think the question really needed to be asked, and probably because he'd forgotten that Archer still had errands to run. "Of course. Right behind you."
