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.
I wasn't hiding from anything. [ His new form gives him a lot less to be afraid of, surely. His claws are pretty sharp. And you don't want to see his fog form. He presses a hand to the branch, leaning closer. At least Xigbar seems to be taking his arrival well enough. His aloof attitude kind of makes him uneasy, if he's being honest. But what can he do to Roxas here? ]
I don't know why, but they took me into the hospital a while ago. I've been in there, but I was here with Xion before, for about two or three months.
[ He gives Xigbar an up-and-down. ] You... Nothing's happened to you yet?
[By this point he knows Xion by name. The bullshit with that circle thing. So he doesn't have to fake anything beyond having more knowledge than he has about her]
[ Now he's piqued Roxas's curiosity more than his wariness. His brow uncreases, gold-yellow eyes pulling wide open as he watches Xigbar from the tree, his voice quiet. ]
Yes. I am a wild checkerboard monster at night. Fear me.
[That would be the absolute flattest tone he could possibly muster. Is he doing a good Saix impression? He thinks he is just maybe too much sarcasm spread all over it.]
[ Roxas is from mid-Days canon point. He has no idea what a woman is and ice cream is the only form of nutrition he's been getting. Good luck getting him to know a lot of vocabulary. He might have been able to come up with a few things until Xigbar mentions harmless, which he absolutely is not at all.
He walks himself back a bit on the branch, looking over Xigbar with squinted eyes as he tries to suss out his answer. What's black and white and dangerous? A skunk? Roxas presses his lips together to keep from smiling. He has to think of a monster. But what would it be? He shakes his head. ]
I... guess a dog could be black and white. [ A dangerous one? A wolf...?? ]
When I changed, it hurt a lot more than just being uncomfortable.
[ Anyway, there are more important things to talk about now. He's not getting down from the tree, though. Being up there makes him feel safer. He tilts his head, his feathers smoothing and eyes locking no Xigbar again. He's right; he can't see any changes on him at all for the moment, though he's only been here a month... ]
Did they find you in the water too? [ He narrows his eyes. ] Xion and I thought that we might've been abandoned by the Organization.
Saïx is here? [ Roxas knew about Larxene and Axel, but when did he show up? Though another surprise is that Xigbar is interested in helping him at all. He shakes his head. ]
I can find my way from up here too. [ But Roxas still has more questions for him... ] I mean, we can leave, but I wanna ask a few more questions. ...What did you come in here for, anyway?

Should see me when the sun's down.

What happens when the sun goes down?

I turn black and white.

If that's not what it is then what do you mean?
no subject
What else could possibly be black and white.
[A beat before adding an even more vague addition than last time]
And as harmless as me.

[If you need more hint than that you may very well get an 'Oh... Kiddo...' and sad face because he feels so bad for you]

I... I don't know. Some kind of tiger?
no subject
Typically viewed as an herbivore.

[ Roxas's own transformation was painful, and it hurts when the fog rolls in, but every night? ] Does it hurt?

[That would be a shrug to go along with that statement]

Nah. It ain't even just the three've us, kiddo. Larxene, Saix, Axel... [Aqua, Kairi, Riku clone...] They're here too.
You need help gettin' outta here? My sense've smell's gotten a hell've a lot better since a festival that happened a bit ago.

no subject
[Just to challenge himself, indeed.]
What other questions d'you got?
[He's willing to answer, even if they're snarky. Prepare for snark.]
no subject
I wanna know if you've found out anything about how to reverse all of this.
no subject
[That would be an eyeroll now]
