TEST DRIVE ; no. 1

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!

[ Just her luck!!! ]

Ooh, [ She hides behind her sleeves, ashamed of her mistake. ] I did not know how to say it. Forgive me...

[hisname]

[ Where's Leo to punch him when he needs him!! Elliot looks less annoyed though, mollified by her apology and the knowledge that he shouldn't be a jerk... ]

Just remember for next time. [ sigh the tsundere life ] Anyway, what do you need a spellcaster for?

[peachbaths]

[ Kougyoku's just glad he isn't shouting at her! ]

I wanted to try something. [ She flourishes her weapon. ] I could enchant my sword with water in my world, but I cannot do it in this one.

[ She's a punisher, though. A punisher that doesn't know Spellsword... ]

I would like to be able to do it again. There are other ways to become stronger—but this reminds me of home.

[hisname]

You were a fighter back home? [ the 'BUT YOU'RE A GIRL' part is so obvious even if he doesn't say it out loud. Even though he's seen a number of kick-ass girls here but still?? It's hard to get used to the idea. ]

[peachbaths]

Yes! I don't mean to brag, but I am one of the strongest warriors in the empire.

[ She doesn't mean to brag, but Kougyoku flips her hair. You're so old-fashioned Elliot gosh. ]

Though it appears that I will have to relearn some skills...

[hisname]

[ didn't she just brag?! He takes a moment to look her up and down, Kougyoku... ]

Really .....Aren't you a little short to be one of the strongest? [ she's the exact same height as Oz okay, he's getting shorty flashbacks ]

[peachbaths]

Height doesn't have anything to do with strength! [ RUDE, ELLIOT. She does the angry stomping dance.

Which ends up stirring some monsters awake. Not that Kougyoku's noticed! ]

[hisname]

You need to grow at least ten centimeters taller before you can say something like that! [ Elliot, whose rules are you quoting?? But before he can go on, he pauses at the sound of footsteps. Her angry stomping dance can't be that loud... The torkrote slowly shuffles closer, not bothering to hide its presence. ]

...But words are useless. If you're really one of the strongest, then you should show me! [ WHO WANTS TO DO A MONSTER FIGHTING COMPETITION Y/N ]

[peachbaths]

[ YYYY

Kougyoku gets her sword ready once she sees the torkrote. She's faced monsters like this before, no big deal. But then, more monsters begin crawling out of hiding... ]

Very well. We shall see who lasts 'til the end!

[ But right after she says that, she attempts to defend Elliot from an incoming rablanc attack. ]

[hisname]

Oy, you should worry about yourself a little more! [ he's about to cast a first aid immediately, but she's not hurt and it looks like she's holding her own, huh. Maybe she wasn't bragging for nothing after all. Elliot pivots so his back is against hers, switching his grip on his two-handed sword quickly enough to fight off the torkrote. ]

Don't fall behind!
