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!

( iva is taking this job far less seriously. she's done her time in circus, was initiated like everyone else in the higher ranks and she has the scars to prove it, so being reduced to such a demeaning task...talk about bullshit! )

I'm bored!

( she drawls, her face pulled into displeasure. )

Isn't having both of us here overkill? I'm giving the mission coordinator a piece of my mind after this.

[ leave it to iva to be upset for two about this. ]

Now, now.

[ though he definitely sees her point. they've both put the rookie stage behind them long ago and they have more than enough scarring on their bodies to show it.

however, hirato isn't planning on letting the mood grow sour just yet, which is why he's as cheery as ever outwardly. ]

You never know when insects of mass destruction could make their move, Iva.

I've dealt with those, you know-- actual bugs of mass destruction.

( she gives him a wry look, a little less upset now that she at least knows she's being heard. iva can bitch up a storm, of course she can, but something about hirato always grounds her to at least mild maturity. maybe because he's her captain and the two of them need to lead by example... )

Somehow, I don't think these are going to hurt anyone.

( iva lifts a hand, a fat fuzzy kawaii caterpillar crawling across her manicured fingers. bugs are stupid and gross but this guy is the most interesting thing to happen to her all night so she isn't quite ready to murder him just yet. )

Yes, Iva. I know you have.

[ there's something in the way he says it that's unusually genuine for him. in all honesty, however, she's hitting the nail right on the head here. even if hirato tries harder to hide it, he's every bit as irritated by being treated as some kind of rookie who couldn't kill a fly properly. ]

But for now I think it's best to play along.

[ aww, what a cute caterpillar. hirato thinks bugs are pretty cool tbh.

anyway, he turns considerably more serious after saying that, the usual smile gone as if it had never existed in the first place. this is a problematic situation and the responsibility to solve it definitely rests mainly on his shoulders... too bad he hasn't found a single clue so far. ]
