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!

[ Nowi gives a slight laugh, she's used to this by now ]

I know I don't look it, but I'm 1,000 years old, give or take a few years. Once you hit 400, you kinda stop keeping count. It's, well...it's quite complicated really. But I know you're busy...

[ MAYBE THIS WILL DRAW HIM IN ]

[assiduous]

[ YEAH YOU GOT HIM...

sarcastically, ] Okay, you're a thousand, and I'm Princess Yue.

[nowiwins]

Who's Princess Yue? Do you know an actual princess too?? I know princesses! and queens!

See? We aren't that different at all, we probably have a lot in common!

[ WOW YOU SAY PRINCESS AND SHE FORGETS THE ACTUAL QUESTION ]

[assiduous]

[ goes back to his book, bc... no he doesn't know any princesses. except the time he bossed general iroh around a little bit in the sewers...

princess iroh ]

She's the moon spirit, so. No, probably not.

[nowiwins]

Oh wow! That sounds really interesting, could you tell me about her? Instead of playtime, we could have story time!

[ Nowi situates herself next to him and looks up at him with her wide, child-like eyes ]

1/2.

[assiduous]

[ ... UH. ]

2/2.

[assiduous]

[ slkdfj ]

I... don't know the whole story.

[ and he'S SUPPOSED TO BE STUDYING? ]

1/2

[nowiwins]

[ Hmm, well, that's a bit odd ]

2/2

[nowiwins]

Surely, you must know something about her! I love stories about spirits and magical-like things!

[assiduous]

[ mako highly suspects that this kid is an overly excitable member of the performer's guild, which is why she's making such a big deal about princesses, and wants to play games and hear stories ]

If I tell you, will you find someone else to hang out with after?

[nowiwins]

[ After?? Nowi can do that. He said nothing about hanging out later that day... ]

Yes. After you are done with your story, I will go try to find someone else. Hopefully just as interesting as you!

[assiduous]

[ oblivious to his impending demise, mako shuts his book and leans back on his hands, trying to figure out how to start and tell the story... too bad he sucks at communicating... ]

Okay, um. Princess Yue is the moon spirit, and... [ uh ] She's got these fish... One fish is the ocean, and one is the moon. They live at the North Pole in pond in a garden that's always spring time.

[nowiwins]

Oh, um. That's it??

[ Nowi sits and thinks really hard for a bit ]

So. This princess lives in the North Pole and controls fish?? But, at least it's always spring time! I guess...

[assiduous]

I think she might actually be one fish. Or she lives in the Spirit World or something? I told you, don't know the story.

[ SORRY NOT SORRY ]
