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!

[ you know, now that he really gets a look at her, this is a pretty young girl. she's just a kid. there's no telling why they're here, but considering the immediate push to join up with a guild, he's got to assume that fighting's going to be involved. that's where his optimism has come in anyway. if they're recruiting kids though, how exactly did that bode?

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?

[ it's true, roxy's not a lot older than sixteen, but she's definitely not one to be underestimated. she didn't exactly grow up in a normal world, after all, and as such she doesn't seem that phased at her new surroundings. hell, if you ask her, this is better than—actually she was just asked, wasn't she? ]

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.

[ yeah, there's no telling that kids can be tough. they're easy to manipulate too, so grow them up right and you've got yourself a functional army. not that he'd... do anything like that, of course (not here and now), but he knows it's worth giving the younger ones a second glance if they can prove themselves.

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.

Oh man, it's all hells of fishy round here, but the tech's not the reason why. I mean, you gotta expect in a fantasy game that shit's gonna run on magic and stuff like that, not computers. You add in computers and robots? You're more in the sci-fi genre.

[ 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.

[ thank god she's here to break it down for him. no, but really, he doesn't know the difference. what he knows is that this isn't anything like "home." it seems natural to ask what gives. ]

You suggesting we get out of here? Because I'm not much of a fish man myself.

[ honestly though, how they'd do that without some of that sci-fi gear, he has no clue. she'd hinted at magic though. and it sounds crazy but he's willing to roll with it for now considering the circumstances. ]

What do you figure we have to do, sprinkle a little fairy dust?
