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.
How many inquiring minds? I'm not sure I want to be popular around here.
[That may or may not be a joke, but it's delivered as if it's a completely serious statement. Either way, though, she answers Terezi's question shortly afterward.]
I'm Rin. Or Tezuka Rin, I guess, but just Rin is fine.
I've never met a troll at all before. It's nice to meet you too, Terezi. So far, at least.
[That wasn't said out of suspicion toward Terezi, it was just a thing Rin thought to say. She does that sometimes.]
I would shake your hand, but, you know.
[If Terezi has taken a good, long smell at Rin by now, she probably knows what the human girl is talking about. That is to say: Rin has no arms to speak of - the result of a birth defect.
[Terezi sniffs the air, ah, so that's what she was talking about. She had frankly not noticed until now, more occupied with the conversation and the scent of Rin's hair, which she would describe as "strawberry ice cream."]
Oh! I would say I see... [She points to her seared bright red eyes.] ...but I don't.
[Rin raises her eyebrows in surprise, before her mouth widens into a slightly goofy grin. Now it makes sense why this weird girl was licking those pamphlets.
...well, sort of, at least. It makes as much sense as people turning into monsters, or Terezi being a troll, at least.]
So THAT'S why you were licking stuff. I thought maybe they had flavor text or something.
[Nevermind that that's not what the term 'flavor text' means.]
[That doesn't sound like something that should be true, but this girl's eye do look pretty burned up. And, again, it makes about as much sense as anything else that anyone has told her in this place.
Either way, Rin accepts it all the same.]
That's good. A lot of people are upset about that sort of thing.
[Which Rin gets, she guesses, but she's been handicapped her entire life. It's never been something she has to cope with, it's just an integral part of her existence.
Which isn't to say that her life doesn't have its fair share of problems - especially now that she's been stranded in a strange place - but Rin's never really been upset at her disability about that.]
[For Terezi, losing her eyesight was an important event in her life. Aside from the obvious of no longer being able to see, it brought her closer to her lusus, opened up a brand new world of possibilities to her, and best of all, she got to rub it in Vriska's face afterwards.]
I am! You're welcome to do whatever you like to confirm that. I could poke you with my horns? Let you see my teeth up close? I promise not to bite!
[She drifts off, her mind returning to the pamphlets. Terezi just got those, so she must be new, right? And if any of this nonsense about transformations is true, then things could get really strange really quickly, for a lot of reasons.]
...if you're a troll, then people are going to start turning into you. That's going to be weird.
[There's a pamphlet on trolls right? Searching... searching... ah, here it is! Terezi can't wait to see what it has to say about them and takes a gigantic lick. Then she frowns.]
This is all wrong! Nothing about this stuff is even remotely right!

Mine's Terezi!

Nice to meet you, by the way. It's not often I get to meet humans face to face!

[To her, the text really is flavor text. The ink used in the pamphlets tastes like black licorice.]
I don't need eyesight! In fact, I'm glad I lost it!

Are you really a troll?
