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!

[ In comparison to Dio's whimsy, Gwendolyn is serious and stoic, and has been standing alert nearby with her spear leaning on her shoulder more casually, but her hands never leave it. She's diligent with looking over the field, though even she would admit to herself that this was hardly the most exciting mission to have...

Though as her partner suddenly sits up, she looks to the sky too, and for the first time that night, smiles. ]

'Tis a beautiful thing. Though... [ She hesitates, since she's not really one for idle conversation, but continues out of politeness, ] 'Tis also strange, to see the sky so still. For a shooting star to be so rare, it feels odd. Perhaps it is an sign of good luck to come for you.

[Stoicism is not even a problem for Dio; indeed, he hasn't given any indication all night that he's bothered at all. Getting her to smile is a kind of private victory and he sits up again, looking through his finger-frame at her instead of the sky.]

Think so? Wait for another one, then. You can have one too.

[Dio that's not how space works... It's the thought that counts.]

Perhaps.

[ After the glance to him, she looks up, half wishing to see one too, since it would be an odd comfort. ]

Where I am from, the sky constantly swirls, and the stars are never as still as this. You can see shooting stars often, if not constantly. [ She shakes her head lightly, but she's still smiling, since it's oddly nostalgic. ] It is odd, how even such basic things seem to stray from what is expected in this place.

[Dio hums and looks up, too. A swirling sky... truthfully, stars are beyond his concern, as skies go. Adjusting to a new world, as well - he's experienced, and he sympathizes, but--]

Constantly? [He almost doesn't believe it, it sounds so unreal.] Then you must have all the luck you need!

[ She wonders about that much, and brushes a lock of hair behind her ear idly. ]

I would not say that much. If it is commonplace, then it would not be so lucky an event, would it?

It's lucky if you want it to be.

[He tilts his head to smile broadly at her. Don't be so strict!!]

I don't want to think of a world where good luck is rare. How bleak!

...I apologize. I did not mean to imply that luck is rare.

[ She can't turn off her strictness, sorry!! But she does look genuinely apologetic, and maybe a little surprised. After a somewhat awkward pause, she offers, like it's consolation: ] —Instead, we find luck in other phenomenon, if that should be more of a comfort.

[He thinks about that. If she comes from a place with a strange sky, are her lucky phenomena completely ordinary to him? That makes sense.]

Like what? Is it interesting?
