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.
The pamphlets exaggerate a little, but they're not entirely untrue. [Of course, Lithuania can tell by the way she backs up she's realized that. He stays where he is so as not to frighten her more.]
[Koharu pulls one away from her chest long enough to glance at it again. Exaggerated in what way? Will she turn into something with green eyes or the like? Are the changes less than they say or perhaps not everyone who comes here has to turn. She looks dubious but eyes don't lie. She blinks a few times to be sure.]
Your eyes are all green.
[Yes Koharu, state more of the obvious. People love that. She's wrinkling the pamphlets, crushing the corners and edges with her tight grip]
[Koharu feels embarrassed by her immediate visceral reaction to his inhuman eyes but she doesn't step any closer. The monsters eat people right? But they were people?]
Does everyone? Change I mean. You don't seem that bad.
Everyone who washes up in the water has. [So far, anyway, but Lithuania doubts the latest arrivals will be any different.] People turn into different things, though there seem to be a few groups of creatures.
[It sounds so inevitable, so final. This will happen and it happens to everyone. Her nails bite into her palm but she hardly notices how much tighter she's gripping. The paper doesn't stand much chance against long nails]
I don't suppose this is a haunted house? Contacts and makeup?
[She smiles faintly, aware of how silly it sounds. Like a child.]
I'm afraid not, Miss. [Carefully, Lithuania lowers his hood, revealing the sharp bright green of his skin and the rue flowers and vines that make up his hair.]
[She takes a few more steps back, eyes wide at the sheer extent of his transformation. It was impossible to tell what he might have looked like before this. She can't see edges of his natural hair peeking out or a shimmer of peach or brown below the green skin. If it was a costume, it was better than anything else she had seen. Like a movie. If a movie featured a perfectly polite plant monster.]
How ... Does it hurt? [She seems careful, half afraid of provoking and half afraid of offending.]
No. [Some of it had hurt coming in, though, like his sharp, wolf-like teeth, but he doesn't really need to frighten the woman more.] It all feels normal now that I've adjusted to it.
[She looks at the delicate yellow flowers curiously and back to his face. No, there's no way to tell what he's like.]
It's kind of pretty? [She has the look of someone who is trying to convince herself of something. Not that it's pretty, but maybe that it wouldn't be so bad. She suddenly remembers they eat people and it becomes a lot harder]
