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: Manticores have been added to the bestiary! Lots of people have asked good questions on the FAQ, so do take a look. For the first app round only, you can app TWO characters. Mod applications are open until Wednesday! 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 about to lose those points, because the look she gives him is like she thinks he's crazy. "Well, somebody has a big ego." But she does start walking again, jogging a couple steps to get back up even with him. After all, she knows where they're going, and he doesn't.

Or, well, she has an address and some vague directions how to get there. Since she's never seen this city before, it may take a couple wrong turns to get there.

He casts her a confused look, brows pinched together. "I beg your pardon?"

Of course he has a big ego. He's a god! (He's not a god.)

[mytearsaremine]

"Either that or your delusional," she continues, which is probably more likely, she figures, if he's so surprised at being doubted. "You can't be the actual Loki. That's crazy. I mean, did you really give birth to an eight-legged horse and the world snake? Can you cast an illusion right here? Can you call the rainbow bridge or summon Odin or whatever?" Because she does tend to require proof of such things.

[conceivedeceit]

To be perfectly frank, both assessments are correct -- Loki is egotistic and delusional. But in this case, he speaks the truth -- the truth as it exists in the reality he knows, anyway.

Her questions earn her a scoff. "Did I not say the legends deviate from the truth? I did neither of those things. An illusion I would cast gladly..." The hand he had lifted near his chest becomes a loose fist. "...had my sorcery not been stolen from me."

There's an undeniable edge in his voice. One might guess his sorcery to be the 'something precious' he'd mentioned earlier.

As for summoning Odin -- ha ha ha. No.

[mytearsaremine]

"Uh-huh." Obviously she's not taking that for an answer, or not one that's going to make her believe he's really a god, or whatever. "Well, I don't have another name for you, so I guess Loki is it. Does that mean you're from Norway or Sweden or something?" She stops at the corner, unfolding the scrap of paper she'd held clutched in one hand, to look from it to the street sign. "I think it's this way."

[conceivedeceit]

"... Asgard," is his eventual reply after pausing to look at the scrap of paper over her shoulder. The delivery is flat and not very committed; he assumes her skepticism will continue.

"Did the doctor say anything about this would-be host?"

[mytearsaremine]

"Right. Should've guessed that one." She rolls her eyes. "And the doctor didn't say much, just that we could stay here until we get on our feet. I don't think there will be a debt to repay, or anything." The doctor had been pretty kindly about it, really. Maybe being a nervous teenaged girl had something to do with it.

[conceivedeceit]

"Now that's a generosity I won't believe until I see it," he said lightheartedly. "Though I should hope we won't have reason to remain here for long."

He has a throne brilliantly thieved to return to!
