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!

[ mako takes a second, ignoring the first part of dave's outburst to wipe the blood off his mouth and spit the rest off to the side, fingers lingering over the split. this'll be fun to explain to his girlfriend. ( ._.) "yeah babe, i agreed to fight a twelve year old and then he headbutted me so i threw his ass in the dirt."

not your best plan mako, not your best plan.

at least he feels kinda sorry. a bit. look, he's even leaning over to offer dave a hand. ]

Sorry man, forgot you weren't in pads. Wanna try and walk it off?

[ His eyes are closed and he's back to sprawling fully against the ground before he feels the presence of Mako leaning over him. And at that, Dave pops one eye open and bends his neck to stare blankly at the jock through his tousled shades.

First you insult his stature, then you outright imply you thought he was on his period? God, he'd call you out on it... but he's not in the mood.

So he doesn't answer Mako; instead Dave slaps his hand away and uses his own strength to prop himself to a point where he's sitting up — maybe that pain was a bit of an exaggeration... ]

[ ...With his feet spread out in front of him, he stares idly into space, not making a sound. ]

[ And then with one quick gesture, he flips Mako the bird. ]

[ ... ]

C'mon, there are worse ways to lose a one-on-one. [ here's his hand again, you baby, get off the ground. he'll get you some ice if you want it that bad. ]

[ Does he look like a b*tch?

He doesn't need ice, he's just a little shaken by this whole event. And slowly dawning is the slight realization with how pathetic he's been acting... so it's about time he finally speaks. ]

...Yeah. [ A grunt as he glances at Mako's hand for a moment, before taking it. ] Hate to be that guy who'll have to tell Berserkers everywhere they friggin' suck.

[ Haha, well... ]

Against a Punisher, anyway.

[ mako laughs quietly as he hauls dave to his feet, ] Eh, I think I played it more like a Pugilist anyway. Punisher probably would've tried to set you on fire or hex your eyes out right off the start.

[ aren't you a mage, you big jock ]

Nice thought. [ Let's not focus on both the sheer pain AND embarrassment that would bring.

He stands upright, brushing the dirt off of him and patting his nasty-looking forehead. ] Hey, uh. Between you and me — if there's like, the slight chance you'd ever decline the night job privileges you just won, consider a small trade-off. Y'know, I get bathroom breaks, you get a pair of these swag-ass aviators. [ He points to his shades, which have cracked just a bit from the fall. ] Consider it a grand souvenir of this night. Put it on and let it resonate your teen tossin' confidence with ease for months to come. I know it ain't detachable, like a prosthetic arm or some shit, but it's the best I can do. I'm desperate. I need bathroom breaks. I need to pee.

[ ... slightest quirk of an eyebrow. ]

Go, I don't care. [ HE DIDN'T EVEN FIGHT YOU FOR THE BATHROOM BREAKS...? ]
