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.

There's a saying about a complete novice in battle being more dangerous for being impossible to predict; while Itachi has never put much stock in that before, it's a simple truth that anyone with even the tiniest amount of battle training would never have made such an asinine mistake -- and would have been struck by the first blow, as a result.

Pure luck, of course. He's unwilling to accept that anything else might have interfered. Such as his blurred vision, the uncontrolled lash at someone that the monster inside him hungers to devour, or...

It doesn't matter. He advances again, eyes narrowed. It doesn't improve his vision any.

"You have come here to do violence to the forest," he hisses, and another vine joins the first one. "You will regret your intentions. Flee back to your city and stay there!"

yaaay, they can have a mutually beneficial and productive social relationship!

Kevin's been in fights before, don't get him wrong. Who helped to kill an entire army of good-naturedly displeased sales guys? This guy! Who ran like a baby from a teenager throwing books? Also... also this guy. But she was a scary teenager, okay? She had a way with words. Especially words that were bound in hardback and travelling rapidly through the air.

While the narration goes off on a tangent amusing to only itself, Kevin stumbles to his feet -- and straight into the second vine. He can't even use the 'complete novice in battle' excuse. He can't even use a 'complete novice at running away from battle' excuse. He is just not having a very good day.

"Ah," says Kevin, lately the beloved Voice of Desert Bluffs, and currently a man at a loss for words. "Ah--"

(While Kevin panics, this narration thinks it's a good time to mention that it gives carte blanche to Itachi for whatever he might want to do as events progress. Permission to eat Kevin, permission to rough him up a little, even permission to shake hands and part as friends. Hey, it's a meme thread, so no harm done.)
