TEST DRIVE MEME

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. The reserve date has been announced. 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.

[AM says nothing to give away that he's not human. Even if the body language may seem unnatural to observers, he will not take any chances just yet. Don't ask, don't tell, he figures.

In a way, AM is afraid. He hates the vulnerability of this body and how unused to it he is. If he cannot find a way back to civilization or find a way to survive in this forest, he could indeed die or become so severely impaired. But he doesn't recognize it as fear. It's just anger and irritation, a growing impatience with this whole situation.

So of course he's not afraid of attracting the source of the laughing; he's merely angry at it, angry at the unknown. So he scoffs at the notion.]

I simply mean that producing noise would not guarantee anyone finding us, since we have not found whoever is laughing.

[How much does he have to explain? Is this human a hindrance or a help?]

I suggest we move and take note of any landmarks.
