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.

[ that's...definitely a possibility. mami's not sure if she'd rather the others be here, or "safe" at home. both situations have their downsides, certainly, it's just a matter of deciding what's worse...which she doesn't quite have the mind for right now.

she shakes her head. ]

Likely the same thing I'd do if they were here, except only for myself. Find somewhere to stay, get the rest of everything sorted...look for them again, periodically. If they're not here now that doesn't negate future possibilities, right?

[bulwarks]

Yeah. We don't know how big this place is. [He's a survivor by nature, too stubborn to let himself fall. Even if he ended up on the streets he'd get by. Not everyone is like that though, and given her mental state at the moment, it doesn't seem like a good idea to leave her be just yet.]

Or if there's any kind of help to find other people.

[sorprese]

What have you seen so far, from how long you've been here?

[ god, she's full of questions. she feels a little guilty for relentlessly asking this poor stranger all of them, one who's already been kind, but how else is she supposed to get her bearings? ]

[bulwarks]

Not much. This place is pretty similar to home, actually. There's some small shops for food and an inn here or there if we need somewhere to stay -- but I doubt either of us has a way to pay for it yet.

[Which meant that unless he found someone that day he'd probably just sleep ... on the street...]

[sorprese]

Ah, it's like where you're from? I'm used to...mm, very big cities.

[ she shakes her head in response to that last bit. ]

I've got absolutely nothing.

[ which means she'll probably be doing the same! cool. ]

[bulwarks]

We don't really have the space for cities, but I guess the inner walls would be called that. It's where the King is, anyway.

[He looks up towards the sky, then back at Mami with a faint smile.] We'll work something out. [And hey, even if he has to do an odd job to get at least her a night in an inn, he will do.]

[sorprese]

Thank you. I'm sure I've already said that a hundred times over, but I do mean it.

[ she manages a smile back, despite how out of it she still feels, how nervous and...dare she say it, kind of scared. she'll repay him for this, she's sure, she's just not sure how, yet. ]
