THE TEST DRIVE MEME




Hello, True Believers!

This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the applications open, see what clicks. Multiples will be allowed for this post, and you can generally assume any threads are a self-contained continuity unless you feel like getting creative.

Just post a thread with your CHARACTER NAME and CANON NAME in the title with a prompt and others will reply. Prompts and threads can be action spam or prose or whatever. These threads can be used on the sample section of your application, as well. Go out and have fun!


Be sure to read up on all game information and the "!event" tag to make sure you have all your ducks in a row.

You learned a new language just from reading some books and dictionaries, WITHOUT a teacher?

I'm officially amazed. That's some dedication right there.

...Well, it was also part of my schooling.

My parents wanted me to work in diplomatic relations when I got older, so they encouraged me to learn it.

Yeah, but you could've done a different Germanic language for diplomacy and suffered much less for it.
frigokinetic: (Explain ❄︎ and never get too close)

Many countries are beginning to use English as the standard. I know some other languages as well for those who do not.
turbedon: (and they'll show us)

Cool. Guess you're on top of being good with the language part of diplomacy at least then.
frigokinetic: (Smile ❄︎ How to pretend you're fine)

[personal profile] frigokinetic 2014-10-04 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I am, yes.

Do you know any others?
turbedon: (never meant the same)

[personal profile] turbedon 2014-10-04 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I can understand a few, but actual ability-wise I'm starting to get pretty fluent with French and German. Think I'll try for Japanese next.

I am learning German as well. Maybe we could practice on each other some time, if you want to.

That'd be great.
