TEST DRIVE ; no. 1
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:

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 RECRUITWell 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!B ; MISSION TIME
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.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...C ; STORM THE CASTLE
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.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!D ; PICK YOUR OWN
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!Just like it says, if none of the others appeal to you, feel free to make up your own prompt!
ali al-saachez ● gundam 00
[ the choice was screamingly obvious. he'd gotten sick of playing nice fast. the mercenary life was made for him—never getting chided for killing in excess or for not bothering to take a razor to his face—he'd be a fool to bypass it. there's no talk of much that's familiar but he dares to stay optimistic. you could find opportunity in the strangest of places if you looked hard enough.
what he has bypassed is a few moments of relaxation. instead, he heads back out to the city to take a gander around. occasionally, he stops someone with a friendly smile. ]
'Scuse me, are you new around here?
B
[ look, there were only so many things he was willing to do for the sake of a client. he could usually avoid working with riffraff by demonstration of his skill alone, thus avoiding a stupid job like guarding a field of cucumbers, but the sad truth is that he doesn't have the precedent of reputation here. so sad. except even if you looked closely, this guy just looks rightly pissed off. the only thing that would turn the tables was if he'd get a chance to see some action. he paces in agitation, rattling the sword sheathed at his side, and squints at the other person on this job with him. ]
Fall asleep in unfamiliar company and you might not get the chance to wake up. Catch my drift?
[ it's not an explicit threat, okay? just a reminder to stay focused. ]
A!
that's right, this girl.
actually, roxy's just weak to talking to people in general, so when she's drawn to a stop she gives this guy her own brand of charming and friendly. squaring her shoulders back, roxy crosses her arms over her chest in a relaxed fashion. ]
The newest of the newbies, that's me. Sup, bro?
no subject
anyway, he's no less friendly as a result. there was always room for exceptions but he'd rather not get off on the wrong foot if at all possible. ]
Oh, great, me too. I'm just looking for a second opinion. How do you like the place?
no subject
Meh, can't complain. [ she shrugs a little, then takes a look around the marketplace. ] I been in worse places, but 'tween you'n me? This shit looks like somethin out of an RPG and that? That's pretty effin' awesome.
no subject
he follows her gaze and then directs it back to her, his smile seemingly reinforced. video games? not quite, but close enough to what he'd been wanting to hear. ]
But it's fishy, right? I'm no technology expert, but you don't wander into a video game every day. And speaking of tech, it doesn't look like there's much of it.
no subject
[ and roxy's always been more of a fantasy enthusiast. ]
Yeah, not gonna lie, but this place smells worse than a fish market in the afternoon.
(no subject)
b
so she's playing with the cucumbers...trying to make a cucumber tower...and starts with a high-pitched squeak when she's regarded by her superior (is this guy her superior? he looks like he is)...]
S-Sorry!
[well, now that he's talking to her, she springs up from her seat and sidles on up to him, seemingly oblivious to his shitty mood.]
Seiko-chan was just keeping the vegetables company. Hey, don't you think it's weird they'd make us guard them like this? It's an easy job, but asking pretty girls and big muscly guys to watch over a garden is a little...
no subject
Stupid? I know. It's a test.
[ not that he likes it, but he has to assume that's what it is. why else would they be sent out here to guard a bunch of shitty vegetables? he can also only think of one reason why Seiko would be keeping the cucumbers company. ]
Eat any and you'll fail.
no subject
[she looks like someone poisoned the waterhole or something.]
Maybe, maybe this means they want to see if they can trust us... And if we pass, we'll get promotions!
[please give her a moment to clutch her cheeks and sparkle as she imagines all the cute jrpg outfits waiting for her. maybe if she guards enough vegetables, she can equip princess clothes! how cute!
--but her totally chic daydreams are interrupted by her pouting up at her partner. gosh what a meanie!!!]
I wasn't going to eat them! I was just playing around, that's all! Look, I didn't even bruise them, see?
[POINTS TO HER BEAUTIFUL CUCUMBER TOWER!!!!]
no subject
if he didn't think he was being tested, this babysitting job wouldn't last long. he raises an eyebrow as he glances between Seiko and her tower. ]
Uh-huh...
[ as perplexing as it is, he doesn't actually care. if there were really anything to handle, he was prepared to take care of it. but he might as well use this to his advantage. ]
Playing around on the job, huh? That's not going to score you points either. Maybe I should report you.

B for BAD ASS
This isn't my first all-nighter on the job. [ Truthfully, he would appreciate being allowed to sleep in exchange for switching shifts. He was tired! But he had to show a degree of professionalism around his partner. ] Besides, you look like you could have a friendly face. I'd fall asleep around you any day, if I got the chance.
[ He grins teasingly... Oh wait, was that gay? Aoi wouldn't know, because guys back home don't take teasing as flirting. ] And I think you're smarter than that. It'd be kind of obvious who the culprit was if I were killed tonight.
did you mean b for blatantly homosexual
and it may not sound like he's flirting to him but it sure makes him laugh. had he just proved what an idiot he was in 10 seconds flat or was he imagining things here? people were too trusting. he grins, expression gaining menace. ]
We're here to guard the crops from wandering animals, right? Who's to say that a big, bad wolf didn't rip your throat out while you were catching some Zs?
[ are there wolves here? he doesn't even stop to consider it. in any case, he's lightening back up a little. ]
Don't worry. Just keep your eyes open.
b for... back off... biatch
He reminded him of a certain someone, only with a sense of humour. He was a bit of a nag, wasn't he? He couldn't be too surprised, since it wasn't often you came across someone who was willing to work with the team and expect not to be dragged down. People weren't trusting enough. ]
Alright, you win. I'm not going to fall asleep. You could have just asked nicely instead of creeping me out.
B)
once it becomes apparent that he's already won, he turns and stretches his arms out above his head with a groan. ]
Yeah, well, asking nicely doesn't make for a very interesting night.
[ it never really did. ]

a for he is A creep
I would think it's obvious how new all of us are, isn't it?
;) he'll be whatever you want him to be
Oops, I guess you're right. What do you think of the place so far?
no subject
no subject
Kind of a culture shock. It could be worse. [ but he's quick to dismiss that. ] Where's the exciting part?

what up B
Are you speaking from experience? It's clear that you're awake.
no subject
...Maybe I'm just inventive. Big shots don't take jobs like this.
[ he starts to head over to where the other man is sitting, leaving his temporary post. ]
The hell are you doing?
no subject
I'm compiling a report of what I've seen. [ He glances up at him tiredly. ]
It's rather boring. I'm afraid if I let you read it, you'll only get more restless. [ You know, that's said so kindly, but it's a bit mocking of his disposition. ]
no subject
You're writing up a report about nothing and I'm the one that's restless?

Blah blah, he's shaken out of his thoughts by (what he sees as) an unruly-looking man's inquiry. ]
Ah, I guess you could say that. Do I stand out for it?
no subject
the newcomers like himself probably won't know much though. Ali just wants to cover his bases. ]
Oh, no, I was just hoping I wasn't the only one. It's a bigger place than I'd realized.
wait no thats A
That would be right. Actually, I'm a little lost.
