TEST DRIVE MEME

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.

Hansel and Gretel.

[Great. He kneels and begins collecting rocks, small rocks, bigger rocks (but only by a bit) before he tosses them to the ground angrily.]

...What do you have on you.

What you see is what you get. Guess I lost everything when I was in whatever lake they pulled me out of.

[Which truly, truly sucked on levels she couldn't even begin to express. No camera. No mace. No taser. No gum. Definitely not on her top ten vacation spots.]

[Time to take command. He draws his gun - she might note if she studies weaponry that it seems rather...well. Vintage.]

Wet gun. No bullets.

No matches? Nothing used to mark a trail?


isitapony: (Frown - 2)

[personal profile] isitapony 2014-07-05 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
Tried rocks on trees, but I kept passing the same markings even though I took different directions. I'm kind of thinking that something's rotten in Denmark. Or... Woodmark. Whatever.
theasset: (hm. no.)

[He scratches his head] You think someone's fucking with us. [The giggling voices, the voices that sound like Steve.

His thoughts are interrupted by one trailing laugh, as if he's said something hysterically funny before he's up on his feet]


...I suggest climbing a tree.
isitapony: (Close - Smile blue toned 1)

[personal profile] isitapony 2014-07-05 08:51 am (UTC)(link)
That might be somewhere along the lines of what I was thinking. I'm not sure if I'm adequately equipped to climb these trees.

[Case in point that the nearest branch was still about five inches over her reach.]

[He grins at her] Ah, a chance to repay my rescuer.

[Picking a tree he reaches up and holds onto the branch easily, before looking back at her, fear crossing his face. Genuine fear.]

...I uh-

If I fall.

[He lets that hang]

...Never mind.

[And he's up. Hey who knew trees were a lot like fire escapes?]
isitapony: (Profile - Down 1)

[personal profile] isitapony 2014-07-05 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets a laugh -- up until she sees the actual fear there. Okay, so, the human monkey was afraid of heights? Maybe he shouldn't be in trees then.]

If you fall, I'll make sure not to be under you. How about you just don't fall? Does that work for you? Works for me.

Ha, Ha, Ha - a comedian. She's a comedian. - [He honestly can't recall the last time he was this good at climbing. But that's ok. Necessity is the mother of invention after all. He disappears into the foliage for a moment. Before calling down]

It's kind of neat up here!

Reverse psychology won't work on me. Or, it won't make me fly. You're going to have to enjoy the neatness all on your own. And maybe clue in the tiny blonde on what you can actually see.

[There's a figure scaling down the tree with a grin but he waits until he's a few feet above her to start talking again]

No buildings around means no smoke or anything to block out the stars and with lights these days...well lights where I'm from it's getting harder and harder to see the stars at night. Man, when you get up there though it's beautiful.

[He hesitates for a fraction of a second before jumping to the earth. It's a six foot drop so he's dazed for a moment, lying back in the dirt]

Just this great big dome filled with diamonds.

[She gives him a look, like she's trying to figure out if he's serious or not.]

We're lost in the Forest of Evil Children and you're taking a moment to enjoy the scenery? Okay. Priorities. Clearly I'm the only one that has them.

[Bucky... she's so disappointed in you.]
theasset: (hm. no.)

[personal profile] theasset 2014-07-07 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
We don't really have trees in New York City. I mean Central park is getting there and eventually they say it'll be nice but the only forests I've been to are usually full of people that want to kill me.

[He raises an eyebrow] So do with that what you will.

I had an idea though. Do you have anything on you?
isitapony: (Look - Give or take 1)

[personal profile] isitapony 2014-07-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Right. So someone's not used to being social. Got it.

[She held her hands out to her sides, showing them as empty.]

What you see is what you get. I didn't exactly get to pack for my kidnapping.

[personal profile] theasset 2014-07-07 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
What? No no. I mean just - the stars. You ever...climbed a tree? [He frowns before shrugging]

....Same. So it's time for Army survival training. You hungry?
isitapony: (Frown - 2)

[personal profile] isitapony 2014-07-07 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
When I was eight, sure. [And maybe to get into a window if one went close enough to a house she needed to get into, but shh.]

Uh... that depends. If you hand me bugs and tell me to eat them, that's just not going to happen.

[personal profile] theasset 2014-07-07 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
...No. [He points at a bush and pulls on it revealing strawberries] ...How lucky are we huh?
isitapony: (Look - Side 1)

[personal profile] isitapony 2014-07-08 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She looked at the berries, then back at the bush. Then back at him.]

You really want to eat magically appearing strawberries from a forest that's keeping us trapped in it while we're surrounded by invisible children from hell? That sounds like a good idea to you?
theasset: by <user name="easystreet"> (For I could dance all night)

[personal profile] theasset 2014-07-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[He tosses the strawberry to the side] ...well what would you suggest we do princess.

First and foremost? Drop the 'tude. Secondly, I'd think getting out of here would be a big priority, but that sort of depends on if the Children of the Pains In My Ass are going to be helpful or keep giggling to the point where I actually discover a newfound ability that is catching them and sitting on them.
