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.

[The fireball is a surprise and a reminder, and seeing it hover - more magic than Kasai's careful science - is a surprise. He scoffs at the idea of poison, though after a moment he has to remind himself that he's human here, and therefore he could, in fact, have been poisoned. By the doctor he first met, even. It seems ridiculous, and it should have been easy for him to identify any potential poison on sight, but ... as much as he hates to admit it, he hasn't been at his best for a while now.

Still, the idea both intrigues and annoys. Sicks leans back a little, his posture forcibly casual.]

How interesting. I wonder what sort of poison we're talking about, here, if it isn't fatal. That's generally the implication with poison. [He looks at the fireball again as it winks out. Control over an element. The child never had that sort of power before.] I can only imagine what sorts of 'things' people are turning into.

[It's not exactly a question, but it does have a hook on the end of it. He glances around at the nervous people on the street, at shadowed figures sneaking by, at obviously changed people making their way brazenly in the light.]

'Monster' covers a fairly wide range, after all.

Mm. I know, right? It's definitely curious. I know I definitely didn't pick up on anything, upon getting here.

[In regards to the poison, at least. It's nothing like how he had pinpointed the substance that Ai had so carefully sewn into the blankets on the plane, upon their first meeting.

He only lets himself think about that for a few moments more, however. The last, real immediate thing he even saw of home, was the body of a very lifeless Ai.]

It's a fair amount! I'm still not sure just how many. Only that there are changes I've both seen and read about, which I, personally, have not experienced. Like a couple have claimed to be turning into something plant-like, roots and all.
