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.

[ She's helping okay!! ]

Ours aren't, either. Maybe you're something new?

[ It's said in a tone of fair curiosity, and then she's sizing him up again with bright yellow eyes. ]

I mean. You seem really nice! So maybe it's just appearance? If you were going to get like that, it probably would've happened by now.

[pinevestigator]

Maybe. ...I mean....I hope you're right.

[He pauses, resting his claws on his knees as he watches her.]

I'm just....starving. I can't seem to even...get enough to eat anymore.

[tacklepounce]

[ She scrunches her nose at him again, like he's being silly. Or adorable. Because he is, duh. ]

For meat? That's no big deal! I wasn't kidding about being a really good huntress, anyone can learn! [ There's no way Dipper could be a more terrible student than her grumpy, too-serious moirail. As far as she's concerned, this is easily fixable. ]

[pinevestigator]

Uh...yeah, that's right.

[He made a face of his own, though quickly opened his mouth again when his teeth jutted into his upper lip unexpectedly.]

Does that mean you'll teach me, then?

[tacklepounce]

Of course!

[ No one ever submits to her authority on cool things unless she has to cajole them into it first! Of course, her skills include hunting, exploring the wilderness, and also terrible matchmaking attempts and playing pretend like a huge dork, so. Also puns. ]

That would be really fun!

[...Are you sure you're not some alternate universe incarnation of Mabel, Nepeta, because uh-]

Thanks, Nepeta. ...for everything.

[Not many people- or trolls, he guesses- would just help random strangers out like this.]

[tacklepounce]

[ Please lord do not let this girl discover stickers. Kitty stickers. Adorable kitty stickers.

Trolls are an even more dog-eat-dog bunch than humans, and pity for a stranger is... more a thing for crushes than friends, though she's figured that humans don't do it the same. Nepeta has always been a pretty unabashed exception to the rule. ]

Duh! We have to stick together. I was a troll even before I got here, and you're...

[ a gross zombie deer ]

...going to need a whole lot of prowling lessons! And cute hats. [ You did it, Dipper: you made a weird friend. ]

[pinevestigator]

[She can't be any more dangerous with kitty stickers than Mabel, right?

....maybe?]

I appreciate it...means I won't be going hungry any time soon, at least. Maybe.

Though uh...I'll leave the hat making to the professionals.

[He lost his old one...]
