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!

[So... Someone might be stepping into that garden to take a cucumber, or maybe two. Try not to judge him too harshly! He lost his nerve when trying to join a guild, and this is what he's been reduced to... Stealing produce in the dead of night.

Only enough to get by though, so it's okay, right??]

I am he who hath entrusted his soul to the eternal vortex of time. Ye know me. And if ye do not, ye shall be made to to know me.

[Listen closely and Madao may listen to mutterings from the supposedly asleep guard. But they're just night ramblings, so he can still continue with stealing cucumbers, right? Maybe open up a roll shop and sell cucumber rolls exclusively? Yeah. What a nice idea.]

It shall be engraved upon thy very soul; Lezard Valeth. If ye shall accept the brand of Hel upon thee, thy sanctions...

[HOW DID YOU KNOW?! The only way to bypass the intimidating guilds is to sell cucumber rolls to the fine people of this city!

But wow, that sleep talk is getting a little heavy over there. He must be really into his dream! It would definitely be okay to grab a few more and stuff them in his pockets. Seriously, it should be fine, so he's doing it.]

[A light purple flame glows brightly behind Hasegawa. His shadow extends far as if attempting to preserve the darkness of the night, but with futility. Behind Hasegawa, a large, skeletal dragon with a humanoid frame stands with a sword held in one hand.]

Dragon Tooth Warrior. A little much for patrol duty, I know, but I can't tell you how frightfully bored I am. So go on, then. Will you scream? Or will you proceed to wetting your trousers?

[Removing the book from over his head, Lezard places it at his side and glances over at his two new friends.]

[He stops his pilfering when he notices that weird light. Slowly, he turns, and when he sees what it is there behind him, he drops his cucumber. He's shaking, and frozen in fear, until he hears the pants wetting comment!]

H-hey! Wait a minute! You're going to accuse me of that before you even get to know me?! You brought something like this, straight from the depths of Hell, and you have to throw in some insults too?!

It sounds as if the expression you're looking for is "adding insult to injury".

[Lezard stands up and shakes his head, giving a shrug and a smile.]

And I detect a total lack of wound on your body, forgetting about that terminal malfunction of your mind. Unless, of course, you're asking me to give you one. My mission actually advises me to do so even without asking.
