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.
[ She would never admit to using the information to her advantage. ]
[ But that's what she did. That's what she always did. ]
[ But she's stopped, and she's not walking with him anymore. If he's going to keep walking, she's not going with him. She's stopping here and letting him go. ]
[He keeps going for a little bit, before realizing that she's not just hanging back, but stopping completely. He stops and turns around to look at her, observe her posture.
Bah. It would be so easy to leave her behind, especially with the nonsense she's been babbling. But he can imagine Red giving him a stern finger-wagging for leaving her alone in the middle of the forest.
He sighs, lifting up a hand and giving her a "come on" gesture with his fingers.]
[ She folds her arms, choosing to stay put and stare at him as he beckons her to join him. ]
We are finished. [ She states it simply, as if there is no room for argument. ] And you desire my presence less than I desire yours.
[ Also pay no mind to the fact that she's settling her arachnid body down onto the ground, taking up a permanent position that she can't be forced out of. Just try it, Boxer, she isn't gonna budge. ]
[...why does he suddenly feel like he's dealing with a child?]
Making it sound like we started walking together because we wanted to hang out. We're trying to get out of here, remember?
Unless, of course, [he spreads out his arms to gesture to their immediate vicinity.] you think this is the kind of place you want to sleep tonight. Hey, I ain't gonna judge.
[ She glances around the immediate area, at the trees, and the memory of the childlike voices comes to her mind. This isn't at all the kind of place she wants to stay for any period of time, and yet being with him is even less appealing. ]
[ So yes, he is dealing with a child. Stubbornness manifesting in a very childish way. ]
I can get out of here without you. [ ...that's a lie, but she says it with a straight face to not give away how much of a lie that actually is. ]
[ That's probably for the best, considering that she can't be trusted to be reliably logical anymore. She's an unstable mess, and everyone that knew her before could see it. It was only new acquaintances that she could fool. ]
[ Of course, she would never acknowledge anything. She had made mistakes but she was not a mistake. She was not wrong. ]
[ Which is why she doesn't follow him... but once he takes a handful of steps? She decides to at least set the stage for the future. ]
I won't let you have her! [ There's finally emotion back in her voice, but it's too much of too many emotions to be clear on what she's really feeling. ] I can't have her, but I won't let you have her either.
[Her outburst doesn't even make him flinch or misstep in his rhythm. It's like she didn't say anything at all. The only validation she gets for her efforts is when he raises up an arm to wave at her with the back of his hand; he doesn't even turn his head to look back at her.]
See you around, Sybil.
[More like hopefully not, but still. You're nothing but a nuisance to him at this point, a fly circling the drain...]
[ Well, at least she doesn't get up to chase him. He gets the last word, because she'd rather be done with him. She'd rather feel like she won some small victory here, by saying what she had. ]
[ Though wether she actually believed what she said or if she'd do what she said remained to be seen. ]
[ There was still a part of her that only wanted Red to be happy, and then there was another part of her... ]
[ She didn't know. She didn't know anything for certain. Not now, not anymore. ]
[ At least she was rid of him for now. And hopefully for much longer. He had to be gone, too. ]

...Suit yourself.
[But at this point, he can say that he offered to help her.
He'll walk in a straight line, at least, so she has a window to change her mind.]
