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!

[heedmywords]

All a garden is in danger from are vermin: insects, rabbits, and the like. Indeed...

[Holding up a sword bought from town and looking at its tip, Maximilian frowns, bored out of his mind. His normally pristine white coat and pants are now covered with mud and dirt. Forget the pittance earned and ranks acquired. There is nothing here that could further the crown prince's acquisition of power in this place.]

What is needed is not a sword, but pesticide. Otherwise, this is a job for felines, not man. This is naught but work meant to keep idle hands busy, you understand.

[colress]

Precisely! And if there ever were a chance of running into a threat of the human sort, it'd be incredibly slim!

[not to say that there aren't beggars in this town because he's seen Plenty, but colress highly doubts any of them will come this way since the authorities apparently (finally) took notice... even if that was the reason. all he knows is that he's been assigned to a joke-of-a-mission and he and his feet are not enjoying it At All.

he shifts his position so that he's not quite slouching on the fence as he was before, bringing a hand to his chin in thought.] It almost makes you wonder why the farmer spent money on hiring guards for this garden rather than baiting a few strays? The latter seems like the far more inexpensive option.
