This test drive is meant to provide those who are interested in applying to the game an opportunity to not only experience the setting and mechanics, but to interact with players and characters already in the game!
The threads on the Test Drive Meme may be used for both sample sections of the applications and those already in game may use the threads here to supplement up to ten comments for their AC regardless of whether the player you threaded with applied.
It is up to the discretion of each individual player on whether they would like to use what happens here on the Test Drive Meme as their IC intro into the game.
PLEASE REMEMBER: The monster your character picks will not be official until you are accepted into the game. This is your opportunity to try out all sorts of monster types until you find the one that suits you and your character best!
And without further ado:
"Welcome our dear guests! We've been waiting for you!"
The Prompts:
Prompt 1 - Arrival: Having just arrived to Halloween Town, you may feel a little queasy. That is entirely natural. You're in a giant circular room with whatever it is you may have brought with you. A very tall figure walks out of the shadows and he's incredibly pale... that is until you realize the hand reaching out to you is not bone-thin, oh no, it is actual bone. Meet the ruler of Halloween Town and the king of Halloween, Jack Skellington. He greets you with a big smile and exclaims with joy how happy he is that you made it and how much happier he is to see you, one hand held out in greeting and the other holding the Jack o' Laptop he has ready for you.
Perhaps you stay to listen to him explain what awaits you and he will then happily escort you outside into the town to provide you a quick explanation before he excuses himself to greet the other new arrivals, leaving you to explore the town. Or, perhaps, the mere sight of a skeleton was... not what you were expecting and you ran out screaming before he can get more than a "Hello-" out.
Either way:
Prompt 2 - The Town: Whether you ran out screaming or were guided out into the town, there are most certainly monsters and ghouls all about. If you were patient enough to wait for an explanation, you know that they are the residents of this holiday. If you ran out screaming? Well, you might be getting more than a few scares- we mean... stares. But the town is just waiting for you to explore! But something is strange. When you look into a mirror or see a glass you look just a tiny bit off. And perhaps you feel just a tiny bit different.
Maybe you don't even have a reflection and all you can feel at the moment is a deep need to feed. Surely someone can help you... provided you can stop screaming at the sight of the citizens long enough.
We wouldn't recommend attacking any of the citizens, however, newborn monster that you are. We wouldn't want you to be a spirit so early in your visit.
Prompt 3 - The First Door: You've now been in Halloween Town for several days and while the zombies eat brains and the vampires drink blood, no one has tried to attack you (unless you've attacked them first, of course). The mayor, driving in his car announces a town meeting! Everyone must come to the Town Hall, even our new arrivals. Jack and Sally explain that Easter is nearly here! And the Easter Bunny has been kind enough to invite you all to experience what it's like to get ready for the holiday! It is time to take your trip through the Hitherlands to the door of Holidays. The path is laid out with Jack o' lanterns and linked bat-light strings between the trees to guide you to the doors. Don't mind that rather ominous entrance, within is perfectly safe... well... at least we think it is. As you travel along the path, you'll come across all the doors, but the one you are seeking is the one currently open. Trying to open the other doors, be it with spells or with force will result in nothing. Do you go in? Do you head back to the town?
Prompt 4 - Easter Island:Welcome to Easter Island! You may need to squint at first, since it's so bright and colorful, the complete opposite of Halloween Town. But once your vision adjusts, you'll notice something... different. You will find you are no longer any monsters but instead you're- well... to put it quite plainly, you're adorable! You have been turned into the citizens of Easter Island! The Easter Bunny welcomes you warmly, quite surprised to see so many adorable newcomers! And you'll find, perhaps without surprise at this point, that you can understand him. So what does he have planned for you?
Prompt 5 - Easter Egg Hunt: No matter what cute, adorable, and fluffy animal or egg ghost you've been turned into, there is an Easter basket waiting for you to go on a hunt! Throughout the entire island, that's yours to explore, are all sorts of different colored eggs. Each differently colored egg offers you a special reward or a certain kind of magic.
If you find:
A red egg: Will make you more inclined to hug and cuddle with the next person you see. A pink egg: Is a dark chocolate egg! Mmm chocolate. An orange egg: Is a milk chocolate egg. Mmm more chocolate. A yellow egg: Will suddenly turn into a small plush animal that replicates the animal you got turned into. It's so soft and fluffy. A green egg: Will turn into a little plastic egg-bracelet or egg earrings. Don't lose them though, the Easter Bunny asked Lady Luck to imbue them with a tiny bit of luck. A blue egg: Will make you burst out into song and you can't stop until you finish that song. A purple egg: A couple extra Holidollars and you get to take that with you back to Halloween Town.
But perhaps an egg hunt isn't something you're interested in! That's completely fine, the citizens need a lot of help getting ready for Easter for people! There's all sorts of jobs you can do! There's egg painting, egg counting, egg gathering, and basket weaving! All of these jobs pay Holidollars and you're making holidays wonderful for children everywhere!
Just don't drop the eggs! We don't want to make more egg spirits! Dropping an egg will bring you a whole day of bad luck as well.

Oh dear, Snow White was quite worried that she had ended up in the wrong place. She tried not to get too frightened when Jack came forward, and she was quite glad she hadn't because what a nice skeleton! Though she didn't know enough skeletons to ever be a judge of a bad one. She was sure all skeletons were nice. She lifted up her skirt as he guided her outside and her eyes widened at the sight of the town.
"My! What an interesting little town!" she exclaimed as he bid her ado and she went about on her own. "Now I wonder where I should start!" moving over to someone, she lightly tapped them on the shoulder. "Why hello there! Are you new here too?"
2 - The Town || Lycanthrope (Prey animal - Deer)
She did feel a bit more skittish, she would admit, but otherwise she wasn't quite sure what was so scary of the town, everyone seemed so nice. And Snow wasted no time in making friends with the animals, but then, she had always been able to understand them and they her before coming to Halloween Town.
So you might see Snow White with a very... different breed of animals following her around. Rather than woodland creatures (though there were some of those too), bats, cats, crows, ravens, rats, and even a few snakes were following her instead.
"Now wherever I find to stay, we'll have to make sure it's neat and tidy!" she smiled to a series of noise. "Perhaps we should help others find a place to live as well! You've all been terribly helpful!" Snow White said, looking at them. A cat meowed, warning her that she was about to run into someone and she turned back around, nearly nose to nose with the person.
"OH! Oh dear, I'm so sorry, you aren't hurt are you?" she asked even though she hadn't even touched them.
The tap on his shoulder gets Sora's attention, but it's the person who's doing the tapping that causes surprise. It's a pleasant surprise though, even if, with her being one of the princesses of heart, he feels like he should be protecting her and taking her somewhere safer.
"Hey! Snow White, did Jack bring you here too? Oh..." It occurs to him, so he asks, pointing to himself, "Wait, do you know who I am?"
"I will once you introduce yourself," she giggled. Snow White was a bit used to people knowing her as she was a princess, but she felt a bit bad that this young man wanted her to know him. "And then once you tell me, why, of course I'll know who you are."
"What a wonderful name! Well, you already know mine, so how do you do, Sora?" she giggled quite pleased to make an acquaintance so quickly.
"And my, you've been here before?" she wondered how. "Well, I'll be sure to come to you if I need, and you're always welcome to come to me for something to eat. I'm really very good at baking. I'll have to see if I can learn some new recipes, seeing as this place seems so fond of sweets! Ah, but first, I need a place to stay, I don't suppose you have an idea for that, would you?"
"Thanks!" It wasn't often Sora had people commenting on his name, it's surprising but well-received. He laughs a bit. "I like your name, too! I'm pretty good. I might have to take you up on that offer of sweets sometime. Uh... Yeah, I don't really have a place to stay either, come to think of it."
He looks around as if something would immediately reveal itself. It doesn't.
"I know there's like an area with houses and stuff, but you'd probably have to have money to pay for one, right?"
"Well, why don't we look together, I'm sure we can find some place, and perhaps we should stay together until we can find a place of our own. Wouldn't that be lovely? Don't worry about something like money, I'm sure once we explain our situation, the people of this town will understand."
"Yeah, that's true. And Jack's actually a real nice guy, we can always get help from him if we need it."
Live with Snow White? That comes a little unexpectedly, but it would sure beat being alone and he could make sure she was safe, too. He gives a resolute nod, a determined fist, and a smile.
"Okay, let's do it! Uh... let's head this way, I think I remember Jack's house being over here." He attempts to lead her to what he remembers as being the residential area.
"I'm sure he is! He was very polite when we spoke, perhaps a bit rushed for time though," she laughed.
As soon as he said yes, she clapped.
"Oh I'm so glad! I would hate to be lonely in such a new place!" Since Sora attempted to lead her, she took him by the arm, her other hand picking up a bit of her dress. "Lead the way then. I wish they had given us a map, at the very least!"

Though, first Jack, now her. It was kind of sad, but not as bad as when Pooh kept calling him "Somebody I don't know."
