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.
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.
[Not very accurate? Someone was leaving her false evidence? What a shame. Terezi wrinkles her nose in disgust and crumples the pamphlet she was "reading" before tossing it over her shoulder.]
Does this mean there's no such thing as fuzzy fish? How disappointing! This place is going to be boring!
[She looks downtrodden for a moment before an idea comes to her. She perks right back up, grinning.]
UNLESS... the truth is even better! Mister Blueberry Bubblegum! You must tell me!
[She's just beaten out Jetstorm's nickname of "Sunshine" there with that one.]
I haven't seen any in any of the rivers or lakes here; half the things in the pamphlets are something the locals made up, and they don't even bother with most of what we have turned into.
[Please have noticed the pervasive theme of people turning into monsters, strange not-human lady.]
[His first thought is that he's covered in scales, has wings and claws, and is standing in the middle of a bunch of humans, how could someone miss that it was true from that?]
[And then there's an implication that sinks in. And promptly skitters off to ponder how the Hell someone could read by taste, a train of thought that is promptly abandoned as nonsensical, useless, and not worth thinking about too hard.]
...You're blind.
[he's keeping as level and careful a tone as he can on that one, even if he is blunt as a bag of hammers. There's metallic claw-clicks as he walks over to something more within arm's reach.]
It's true. Starts about a month after you show up - I've been here six months now.

So that thing about turning into other things was true? You smell like a dragon and you also smell like a human. It's weird!
[She pauses for a moment.]
Weird, but not bad!

Can I touch you?
[Terezi doesn't wait for an answer and immediately reaches for an arm, complete with grabby hands.]
Can I taste you?
