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!

A
[He hadn't really decide which guild to join but there was no harm in checking all the guilds available so he had all the information necessary to make a sound decision. It would had been best if he had his Gundam but that was seemingly impossible, at least for now, so there was no point in wasting time and energy being angry about his situation. He needed to survive first before he could focus on finding a way out.

Stepping into the main hall, he looked around for the reception or information counter, as he eyed the surrounding and the people inside. It was important to know what he was getting himself into as he had no intention of joining a guild full of unfit people.]

You. [He called out to the nearest person.] Where is the information counter?

B
[He stood leaning against the scarecrow, quietly eyeing the field of cucumbers he had to guard for the night. He came prepared, having took a good amount of sleep prior to his mission time so he wouldn't fall asleep but he underestimated the pull of sleep when one had literally nothing to do but keep watch. He sighed, beginning to regret taking this mission but it was literally the only thing he could do because his level wouldn't allow him to take on any of the more interesting ones. Toughing this out would test his patience, something that was never his strong point to begin with.

Rolling his shoulders, he stood away from the scarecrow with the intention of patrolling the cucumber field for the eighth times. He turned to his partner before setting out,] I'm going to round the perimeter. Keep watch.

[ To be quite honest, Ace didn't expect to be partnered with such a... cautious guy. Not that he minded. Ace himself always preferred that kind of method, and thus why Tieria's movement didn't come out as weird as it was to Ace than how it would come out to random people. In short, there was an unsaid aptness between the two. Thus why he said nothing much even until his seventh patrol. Ace would let his assigned partner to do things his way, just like how he would do his own.

After some time, things indeed got bored quickly and that prompted him to find a spot to relax for a bit. Sitting comfortably just right next to Tieria, Ace merely tilted his head a little, a sigh coming out from his mouth no sooner. ]

Again?

[ Not that he would do any attempt to actually stop Tieria, but this guy's such a busybody, even more than himself. ]

[Not knowing who his partner was until the mission started, he came prepared for the worse but Ace was proving to be someone he wouldn't mind working alongside with. As far as he could observe, Ace was calm and alert, both traits he valued in a person. Their lack of words however, was proving to be a hindrance to keeping wake, at least for himself. To be honest, he missed the laughters and chatters of his comrades as well as the mechanical chime of the Haros whenever he worked in the hangar. Being alone in a foreign world and having only his own thoughts for company, he was beginning to feel the weight of loneliness. However, none of that had anything to do with his mission, neither were they helpful in any manner so he pushed his thoughts to the back of his mind.

Pausing in his steps, he looked down to his partner and asked in a slightly exasperated tone.] I am not going to risk falling asleep and fail the mission for both of us.

[ The tone in Tieria's words were already more than enough for him to guess what was on his mind, and the meaning of the words that he said in that said tone proved it even further. Ace, though, wouldn't disagree to Tieria's point. Staying like that would only pull the trigger of his eyes to close. ]

Your concern is most appreciated. [ He sighs, before he rises from his seat. ] But to be quite honest, I am not sure whether I am going to be able to keep my eyes open if I were to reside like how I was just now further.

[ Read: He's coming with you. And he's not taking 'no' as an answer. ]

Fine with me. [Picking up the shield from the ground, he buckled it to his arm securely and set out for their patrol. Unused to lunging heavy lance and shield around, he grimaced internally to himself. Only the fact that he had to get used to them in order to master them kept him from abandoning his weapons. He was actually thankful that as a newcomer, he hadn't been given real armor yet because he wasn't sure if he would be able to move in decent speed otherwise.

Making small chatter was no specialty of his but the last thing he needed was to bore himself and possibly Ace to sleep on patrol. Not to mention, some noise could be good deterrent as they warned trespassers of guards stationed on the field.] Have you explored the city?

[His eyes darted across the field, alert and watching for any sign of movement while they make their round together.]

[ Tieria's strict answer was all it takes for Ace to tighten the bag of throwing knives around his hip tighter. While unlike Tieria, who seemed to yet to adapt to his current weapon, Ace was already used to carry that much with him. Well, the comparison of the weights between a lance and throwing knives were uncanny as well. So that might be rather invalid.

At first, Ace thought that he was going to be the one to initiate the conversation between them, but since Tieria seemed to be taking the lead... Why not? ] I have. [ A slight pause. ] Not much, however. You?

[ While he spoke, his eyes traveled around the other side of the farm, trying their best to notice even the slightest of a movement. If there was any around. ]

[It didn't take too long to for him to realized that neither Ace or himself were any good in making small talks. While Tieria himself didn't normally care about it, right now however, was a time where he would actually prefer someone who were more sociable than himself. At least then, they would be able to progress their chatter easier.]

I haven't seen the whole city yet but it looks like there are different districts with distinctive roles. I've only had the chance to explore Steelmount and Tinwick.

[Still vigilant, he watches the perimeter, adjusting the lance periodically so he could carry it comfortably.]

[ 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. ]

[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?

(deleted comment)

[He listens attentively to her explanation, perhaps with an expression and disposition that's far too serious for someone who bears the face of a teenager. From her explanation alone, he's tempted to turn around and leave. There's no way he will reduce himself to a bard if all he's ever going to do is sing. He's a Gundam Meister and while he's not trained specifically in any martial art style, he can fight a lot better than a normal person. There's no way he'll waste all his training to sing. Not to mention, what can singing do anyway? Scare away monsters?

However, none of those thoughts make it out to the conversation at hand as he reply the girl.] I'm undecided as of now. It seems we're not allowed to change guild once we joined one. I intend to check every guilds before making decision.

How long have you been in this guild? What's the quality of the instructors?

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[ this all comes as a surprise, but relatively speaking, he was used to surprises. surprise attacks anyway. and his reflexes are honed as a result. Tieria's fist meets his open palm as he blocks a punch, eyes wide to match a widening grin, the force behind the blow unexpectedly strong. ]

What a welcome!

[ instead of releasing his fist, he holds tight. if he can keep his grip on him, he'll use it to yank his arm with an intent towards dislocation. ]

Who are you again?

[ he can come to a variety of conclusions fast—this is someone from home, someone who knows him, someone who he's affected directly through some killing or another—but those are just observations. as far as actually caring was concerned, he doesn't. ]

[The grin on that face makes him boil inside and he wants nothing but to wipe it off, preferably with Ali's own blood. This man who existed to feed on conflicts that cost far too much lives to count for. He will avenge Neil, definitely. He will take this monster down and end him. Definitely!

When he doesn't release his hand, Tieria didn't fret but instead he dugs his feet in and use it as a leverage to swing a kick at the mercenary.]

DIE! I'LL KILL YOU!

[He doesn't care about those questions and neither is he planning to answer to someone like Ali.]
