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.

[When he leans forward, she takes a step step back, the expression on her face only growing more pronounced.]

Hah! Don't think to put yourself in my league. Compared to me, you're a dog. A mangy one, at that.

[With that said, she thrusts one arm out in front of herself, palm pointed toward him and fingers splayed. He should be out of reach at all times!]

Don't come any closer, dog! I don't play with dirty animals.

A good comparison. I like dogs. Thank you!

[Even if she sounds unfriendly, this is a compliment, regardless of her intent, so Enkidu isn't bothered.]

Who do you play with, then?

[Enkidu also doesn't follow instructions well. Instead, Enkidu comes closer, butting her hand with their head, laughing. Twigs and all.]

[She would probably say something further snooty about their blithely taking her insults in stride, but then Enkidu butts her hand. In record time, she backs up several feet, clutching her hand to her chest. Her eyes are wide. Her mouth hangs agape.]

Y-Y-You...

You touched me!

[Enkidu looks up, blinks. That wasn't the reaction they were expecting. It's a little extreme! To Enkidu, physical contact doesn't mean much at all: a simple, casual, thing. It's kind of a funny reaction. After a moment, Enkidu laughs.]

I did. Should I do it again?

[They're getting along so well!]
draculove: (i don't want to hear another)

[For a moment, Enkidu's response leaves her speechless. Then, she sets her hands on her hips and glares, leaning forward herself.]

Did you fill your ears with dirt, too?! I told you not to come any closer!

[Unthinkingly, her wings unfurl partway around her. Despite all her calling other people animals, she's not unlike one puffing up to look more intimidating now.]
