TEST DRIVE ; no. 1

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!

Y-you...!

[Gareki is still out of breath from all of that running to form much of a coherent sentence. Akari may not be surprised, but Gareki sure is. What is a Circus doctor and researcher doing here of all places? Not like he could ask that question because the older man just did.]

I'm—!

[But he's quickly cut off by the sound of running footsteps. Not to mention, he clearly hears someone shouting out orders to capture a "suspicious-looking young man".

Excuse him, Akari, as he tries to squeeze through and hides himself from view. But the scenario speaks for itself. He's running from the authorities.]

[ Although he can tell Gareki is obviously their target, it would be wrong to assume fault without any proof. And natives of this world hadn't exactly proven themselves to be overly friendly toward newcomers... ]

There will be time to discuss how many of us have been brought here later. [ In gross scientific detail, naturally.

Akari shifts subtly, moving into the guards' line of sight. With any luck, they'll move right along. Still, he aims for subtlety, keeping his voice low and trying not to look at Gareki. ] For now, why are you being chased?

[ Not that it suits him to turn in a familiar face just to curry favor with these people. He'd just like to learn the truth. ]
