TEST DRIVE, JANUARY ROUND

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:

  • 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!
  • NEW! Players with characters already in the game can earn up to a maximum of 3 coins by replying to potential character threads! You will need to have your normal 20 comment AC in the game. You cannot use this to go over the bonus 10 coins per month total, but you can use it if you are missing some threads to reach that coin total. Same rules as normal bonuses apply.

Sample scenarios:
SCENARIO ONE: So you've just arrived, fresh out of the hospital, and already the natives are trying to get on your good side. Offers of food, shelter and other luxuries in return for hoping you don't eat them. They even have some helpful pamphlets to share with you. "How To Deal With Changes", "Alternatives to Human Flesh", "What to Expect When You're Expecting (to turn into a monster)" are all great pamphlets. There's even some detailing certain monsters, and the changes they go through.

Among these however, are some... not so helpful ones. "Bunnyipyips And You", "Axe Thief Axehounds," and "So you're becoming a Fur Bearing Trout" among others.

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: You've heard about the fog, but you've never seen it before. Now, the mist surrounds you. Barely able to see before you, you need to get home - and fast. It's far too dangerous in this situation.

SCENARIO FOUR: 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.

It's fine. I shouldn't have yelled like that. It's just.. my hearing is really sensitive. You might as well have been yelling right into my ears.

[She rubs them to try and sooth them a little, They still kind of hurt.]

I know I'm scary looking right now. I shouldn't have startled you.
summersmiles: (baffled by your dumb)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-19 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no! I'm sorry!

[Nightmare deer or not, Olette hasn't been eaten or harmed, so now she feels ultra bad about causing harm.

She shakes her head, waving her hands as Xion explains.]


No no you're okay! I was just a little jumpy. I'm trying to get home before anything happens!

[You know, before she ends up sprouting god knows what]

Do you want some help? I can see just fine in the fog.

[So naturally she's offering.]
summersmiles: (Oh! Intelligence!)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-21 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! That'd be great!

[But how does she know she wont eat her later. She'll be on her guard.

Throwing shoes is out though, that did nothing]

Where are you trying to go? Just stay close.
summersmiles: (One of these days bam columbian necktie)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-21 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a place I'm staying at, a few blocks away from here. [She thinks. Look, the fog makes it easy to get lost.

And staying close seems like a bad idea, but she can't risk getting lost in the fog, so she'll keep near nightmare deers side.]


... Thank you for offering to walk with me. I really appreciate it.

Do you remember the street name? It'd make it easier if you did. And it's really no problem. [She doesn't want to start moving until a street name is mentioned. It wouldn't do to start going the wrong way, after all.]
summersmiles: (internally screaming)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-23 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Cruiser Road. It's a small apartment above a tailoring shop.
poppetstrings: (Default)

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2015-01-24 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think I've been there before, but I think I can find it.

[Xion nods at her, moving off to check the street names. True, she doesn't know where the street in particular is, but she does know that a tailor shop can only be in a few places in Vandare.]
summersmiles: (My eye colour keeps changing like balls)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-27 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Olette moves to fall in beside Xion, slightly behind so she's still leading.]

Thanks for this. How long have you been here?
poppetstrings: (∞ 001)

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2015-01-27 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Six months now. I was part of the first group that arrived here. Or at least, there hasn't been anyone before us for a long time, I think.
summersmiles: (I look into the horizon and I see dumb)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-27 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Six months? You're kidding, right? Is there no way to go home?
poppetstrings: (∞ 005)

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2015-01-27 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
No, none. Or at least, none that we've found. We probably wouldn't still be here, if we had found a way out.
summersmiles: (I admit that's pretty big)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-27 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
[That renders Olette speechless for a moment or two. She'd only been here for a bit and she's kept hope that she could find a way to go home, but six months and...]

Has anyone left? Does everyone who ends up here stay?
poppetstrings: (∞ 005)

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2015-01-27 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
A friend of mine left. I'm not sure if it was voluntarily or not. I haven't seen him in a few months.

[She shakes her head sadly.] And I know it's not because he's dead either.
summersmiles: (My eye colour keeps changing like balls)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-27 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you know...?

[She's not sure if she really wants to know]
poppetstrings: (∞ 026)

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2015-01-28 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Because I've died before. You just wake up again a few days later.
summersmiles: (Your sense of style is appalling)

[personal profile] summersmiles 2015-01-30 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[That's something Olette wasn't expecting]

You've died?!
poppetstrings: (∞ 005)

[personal profile] poppetstrings 2015-01-31 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
It was an accident. As long as you're careful you shouldn't have to worry.
