TEST DRIVE MEME

So first of all, welcome to Dyspros' very first test drive meme! We're happy that you're interested in the game, and we hope that you have some fun playing with the setting, regardless of whether you decide to join or not.

As a general reminder, we recommend that you look over the game information before jumping in. In addition, if you decide you're ready to join, you're welcome to put in a reserve, and applications will open on May 4th at 12:01 AM (EST). Finally, if you have any questions or concerns, please send us a message!

So now, without further ado, let's get to playing:

A ; NEW RECRUIT
Well then, welcome to the guild, Initiate! After some thought (or maybe the choice was obvious), you've finally settled on a guild, and you're ready to get started. You're welcome to check out your accommodations and see what kind of people you'll be living with for the foreseeable future. This is your home now, so hopefully you get alone with them. If not, then you can just spend all of your time sharpening your skills!

Whether you're just claiming your bed or you're jumping right into the thick of things to practice or sign up for a mission, a new recruit is unlikely to go unnoticed.
B ; MISSION TIME
It's your first mission, which is pretty exciting, right? You have all these pictures in your head of going off to fight a dragon, to come home with great riches and valor...

Too bad those missions are for the higher ups.

No, it's the middle of the night, and you're out guarding the small fields just outside of town from wild animals. Right now you're standing by the cucumbers, which are considered especially important to guard, for some reason. You have to fight off sleepiness somehow, so maybe an animal will come out for you to scare off, or maybe you'll just end up chatting with whoever is stuck doing this with you.

Or you know, if you're a dick, you'll steal the vegetables for yourself.
C ; STORM THE CASTLE
Okay, the missions for initiates are pretty lame, and you're ready for some real fighting. You can go alone, or you can go with some other people, but it's off to Castle Dyspros! You'll find a variety of creatures to fight, and the power of teamwork will help you make progress through the castle!

Or you'll die. There's that too. Good thing it's fairly inconsequential, if weird!

Either way, have fun fighting to your heart's content!
D ; PICK YOUR OWN
Just like it says, if none of the others appeal to you, feel free to make up your own prompt!

[ Ossidia resumes her usual demeanor once Sena reminds her of the initiate's presence. ]

Intelligence was never a strong point for you lot. [ Ossidia dips a bouquet of roses into the cauldron. Once she pulls it out, it looks prettier than ever. More fragrant, even. ] Its success isn't entirely dependent on me, you see. I say that because you will be delivering it.

[ SHOVES THE BOUQUET AT HER, AHAHA ]

Bring this to Firuze and make him smell it.

Well, we had things similar to magic that were just holograms...

All of you are so impatient... I will personally teach you in due time, if you wish. [ Ossidia leans backward as if to sit down, and the two undead children holding Leon earlier disassemble and rearrange themselves to make a chair for their master. ]

But first, there is something you must do for me.

[ Leon doesn't say at her remark. It isn't productive to ruffle the feathers of the woman who will be his teacher. Though when the two undead children let him go, he instinctively rubs his arms and straightens his sleeves. ]

Yes, what is it?

[The moment passes, and Dio feels... better, somewhat. Discussing more serious matters can wait, but right now, while they're here - Lucciola has an awkward-looking lance. Everything in this place is kind of clunky and awkward, but then, most thinks compared to the Guild are clunky and awkward. Dio finds them charming.

He lets go of Lucciola and takes a step back.]

I hope it's decent. [Briefly, he considers asking if they should have a friendly little spar to find out! but - not now, not yet. Instead he looks around before doing the most logical thing possible, which happens to be stooping down to stick his hand through a gap in the vegetable patch's fence (someone should fix that) and plucking a cucumber out. They won't miss one, certainly.

He holds it up. Who's ready for the most dignified exercise of new equipment.] How well does it deal with moving targets?

[And then he tosses it up in the air. This is definitely the best reunion anyone could have asked for, courtesy of Dio.]

A.]

[ He didn't really want to pick dancer of all things, but there he was, sitting on the edge of a stage in the Guild for Performers, ruffling through a few papers. Maybe he can tell people he's a paladin or something else.

It might be obvious-looking, a guy in a skintight, sort-of-armoured red and black outfit with a black eye mask, in the performance area. HE'S ACTUALLY A SUPER COOL HERO...!! One who's trained in acrobatics, yeah... ]

B.]

[ Mission time. This was something he knew very well - though, uh, Gotham's missions were way different. In a place like this, Gotham was a little. Dreary.

But that's not the point. Now there's a guy in an above described superhero outfit perched on a roof. And there's the same guy flying across the night sky, landing on the next roof. Which might be right next to your character, yeah. ]

Hey there.

[ He'll continue on unless someone wants to ask him why he's flying around doing flips and shit. Or unless someone else flying around almost crashes into him. Stuff like that. ]

You're forgiven! [ this she says more cheerfully, almost grinning. very simply she accepts his answer, nodding. she can't keep her curiousity down, however. ]

Did you used to do this too, back home? [ all the worlds she'd heard of so far were so very different and she often found herself asking after the homes of everyone she's met. ]

[ having walked once around the cucumbers, al is now back at the starting point where her partner for the night is. settling down beside him, holding her sheathed sword close to her in a hug, she peers curiously over. ]

The book... What are you reading about?

[ welcome to the the performers' guild, tieria! the nearest person is one sword -- thankfully, sheathed -- hugging teenager who doesn't mind the sudden question.

she points in the direction she'd come from. ] This way, down the corridor. I'll show you.

[ without waiting for a reply, she's turned and leading the way. ]

[ contrasting with louise's restlessness is al's calmness. it doesn't take her more than a second to consider it before she's hopped to her feet and has a hand stretched out. ]

Let's look around! We might spot something.

[He eyed the sword in her hands, wondering briefly if he had stepped into the wrong guild. However, one glance at the rest of the people hanging around the hall answered his doubt via colorful props and costumes. This was certainly the Performer's Guild and the sword she was holding must have been a prop.

Following after her, he took the chance to survey the interior. It was grander than the other guilds he went to earlier; namely the Warrior, Archer and Disciple's Guild, with big halls and high ornate ceiling. He wasn't sure if this was a guild he wanted to join because performing was the last thing he would consider under any circumstance. But he would survey it nonetheless if only to gather information and to determined if there was anything worth learning here.]

What sort of things do you learn here?

Most likely. If we should prove unreliable, they would have little reason to trust us with greater tasks in the future.

[He follows her gaze.]

Though it could also be that guarding the fields is just a pretense for something else entirely.

[ miraculously sena's managing to restrain herself from a HDU tirade... but then again it's probably not so unusual given how badly sena wants that potion. exhibit a: look at this gross dungeon ]

Is that really all I have to do? That sounds way too simple! How exactly is this supposed to work anyway? I don't want to be blamed if he ends up wanting to become my servant instead of yours!

[ not exactly the smartest thing to say to a yandere ]

[Watching people... YEP SHE'S DEFINITELY A WEIRDO.

And the authorities have left by now so it's okay to leave. He quickly picks himself up and ditches her.]

[Five minutes later, Gareki ends up coming back. Seems like they are still on the lookout for him.

Great. He's stuck with a strange girl.]

Spying on people isn't very polite.

[ now that's funny. if he knew he was being doubted, he'd definitely make it a point to dismiss that right away. for now, Ali doesn't have anything in particular in mind—he's just assuaging his boredom. maybe Aoi should consider himself lucky if he's concerned about standing up to him.

the gesture of the sword to his shoulder only exerts his presence. he even lets it be pushed away, chuckling as he lowers his arm to his side. ]

You don't have to be so touchy. It's the same for me.

[ he turns on a heel, showing his back to Aoi. ]

But would it kill you to have a little fun?

[ with Ali, it might. he neglects to make note of that. ]

[ while he's already happily situated himself with the mercenaries, he still ends up wanting to make a full round of what he can. connections, you know, are important. it wasn't unusual for him to consider stepping behind someone's back for a better price. so he's wandering out in the main hall, having left the fighter's guild, when he happens to be addressed by a commanding voice. as far as he knows, it's a stranger. ]

You're a fighter?

[ and he chuckles, apparently bemused with the idea. ]

[And there's a gate here so...]

Guess it's easier to get two initiates to be guard dogs instead.

So, what made you take up the job?

[The cash isn't bad but the glamour-- is uh, lacking.]

[When the man who answered fell into his line of sight, his calm demeanor immediately vaporized as anger and rage overtook his senses. He could recognized this man even from his grave because this was the person he wanted dead by his own hands. Without any warning at all, he lunged at man, nevermind that he was in the hall of a guild, aiming a fist right at the offending face.] ALI AL-SAACHEZ!!!

[Despite looking nothing like a fighter, as an Innovade, his reflex was faster and his punch was heavier than they looked. Though, against someone like Ali, it might not be much of an advantage but Tieria didn't care. All he wanted was to hurt or even better, kill the man who killed Neil and he didn't care if he had to do it barehanded.]

Ah, wait!

[ reaches out! ...ah, now she's all alone... weh... ]

[ Oh yay he came back. ]

I'm not spying on them! You make it sound as if I have ulterior motives. Don't you ever go people-watching?

[ Kougyoku is awed by Al's fighting style — she has never seen a fighter with movements so fluid. When Alyona parries, Kougyoku pulls away and stands back to brandish her sword, now covered in frost. ]

Oh, are you not part of the warrior's guild?

[ And she jumps back into the fray to strike downward. Making casual conversation while sparring, yep. Totally normal. ]

B. [ It was only natural that Pascal joined Salamander and Gold, they would have everything she would ever need to do research. Or blow things up that was an important factor as well since you’ve got to have some fun with science if you do all the boring stuff that goes along with.

But all that stuff could wait since there was something far more important… she was hungry since she skipped lunch. ]

Anyone here know where I can find something to eat? I can go for some bananas or even something with them in it like pie.

[ But reading is boring! Kougyoku sulks at his suggestion. As much as she is terrified of asking others, she wants to talk to people. ]

Th-thank you. I see... So I am truly so inept at talking to others that even strangers notice.

[ She is so ashamed!!! Unfortunately, her attendant isn't here to save her from embarrassing herself and do damage control. Instead, Kon gets a crying Kougyoku.

She is literally crying. ]
