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.
Please read through the Rules and FAQs thoroughly before playing.

2 - Lose something? (Ragdoll) [Sun is nothing if not adaptable. That's what he's always told himself and believed. Not many people move around from kingdom to kingdom on Remnant after all.
But this might be a little out of his league. At least going to other kingdoms didn't get him turned into some stuffed animal version of himself. With no separate fingers. Awesome, right?
But hey. As he's moseying around town and taking in the sights, he's trying. This place wasn't that scary. It was actually kinda cool in a way.
...Until he feels like something's missing. A weight off his lower back. Sun stops right in his tracks and checks himself over, mostly in the behind region.]
Uh, g-guys...
[It's not directed at anyone in particular, but he is starting to look a little horrified now, if not at least disturbed. The searching is a little more frantic now and he fully turns around to look at their surroundings.]
Where's my tail???
[Plush version of himself or not, limbs just don't magically pop off.
...Except there is a golden coloured plush tail thing that looks like it's trying to escape his owner. Oops.]
4 - Sun the Bun's Eggcellent Adventure [Suuuure. Why not? Lets waltz into a random open door to another magical holiday land that he's never heard of just because the big skeletal boss man said so.
...This is starting to be too much for him.
At least he was getting used to the whole plush doll version of himself. But a bunny rabbit? That's just great. Well, at least he still has his tail, though a bunny with a monkey tail is a really weird sight.
(It really doesn't help that for once he feels short against anyone who's become a fawn or lamb. Argh. He wants his height back please!)
Not to mention this is a really weird body to get around in. How do rabbits deal with these crazy long feet anyways? Attempt after attempt to just walk has landed Sun on his face and he swears this is the dozenth time that he's faceplanted into the ground.]
Anyone figure out how to walk with these legs?
Wildcard [Hit me up with another prompt if you're not fond of these ones.]
[Rocket hasn't had the joy of losing any limbs yet but he's been warned. Several monsters he's run into since arriving and being abandoned by the skeleton jerk have told him that he needs to be careful of his stitching or else!
He's thrilled. Really.
The ragdoll raccoon is the midst of stalking through town after a failed attempt at finding answers in the graveyard when he finds himself face to..er...face?..with a wiggly looking snake thing. But that's not a snake. Is that a tail? The raccoon's ears perk as he watches the thing wiggle it's way down the sidewalk before he manages to get a foot down on it to still it's progress.
The stitching is still visible and it's not hard to put together that it belongs to another ragdoll which prompts him to look around for the owner, spotting Sun up ahead on the path.]
[They're like kindred spirits at this point. Kindred, thrilled, doll-like spirits.
But at least Rocket's had the luxury of being told not to bother his stitching. This is going to be a lesson Sun's not going to easily forget.
He glances over and... and down at the raccoon, blinking a little owlishly. Yeah, he's used to seeing people with animal features, but he's never seen a Faunus that looks completely like an animal.
But hey. This guy is nice enough to bring back his tail, which is now trying to thrash it's way out of Rocket's paws as if it wants to get away from Sun himself.]
Uh, yeah. That's mine. [This is beyond weird and he watches his tail move about with a slightly disturbed look before taking it from the other ragdoll.]
Never, ever thought I'd lose my tail this way, heh...
