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.

If it's a strong enough urge to make you leave in the first place, isn't it more than just 'what you're used to'?

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I mean... it might be instinct or something like that, too. My people weren't exactly totally nature wild, but we were still kind of, you know...

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Well, either way, you're a little uncomfortable indoors it seems. Is there any accommodations that would make it easier... to... [She pauses, frowns, and mumbles something in Japanese, as though working out how to phrase her next bit.]

Is there anything that would make it feel more like home for you? If nothing else, I'd suggest... leaving a window open. We can't have you outside, though. Not here. Not with... things as they are.
soundandfurry: no more duran duran lyrics from here (across this threatening sky)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
If it were that easy, I'd have tried it already.
blooming_resonance: (005)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I wasn't expecting it to be easy. [She presses her fingers together.]

Hm. What sort of... things do you think of when I say... to think of... 'home'?
soundandfurry: (callin' all freaks)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
... Bamboo. And Mamma.
blooming_resonance: (Default)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Bamboo is easy enough to come by. I'm sure we could even find a... larger... plant of it. Several of them, even? [She stops, then smiles again.]

Unfortunately, I can't... think of anything to offer for the other. I once offered a much younger girl a doll when she missed home. I don't think... it would help you, though. Perhaps some kind of... familiar scent?
soundandfurry: (Smell like I sound)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
A familiar scent? I'm not sure...
blooming_resonance: (004)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if you think of... anything. Anything at all. Let me know?

As I said we can't... have you wandering around outside after hours. For your own safety.

[She pauses, frowns, then ventures a question;]

That said, being who you are... how do... you feel about the moon?
soundandfurry: (tomorrow is yesterday)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's both comforting and... embarrassing.
blooming_resonance: (Default)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
Embarrassing? How so?
soundandfurry: (each morning I get up I die a little)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
The moon cycle is what controls how, uh... wolfy I get.
blooming_resonance: (Default)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
Well, naturally. It has influence over... many things, other than that, as well. I just wanted to make sure you don't resent it for that. If it's comforting... I may be able to... help.
soundandfurry: (floating around in ecstasy)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-05 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
Well, no, I don't quite resent it... But I do wish I had more control.

Either way, the moon is an important thing to my people. Or... was... -It's hard referring to the wolves in past tense, still.-
blooming_resonance: (012)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-05 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Her smile turns sympathetic at the wish for more control. It may not be the moon, but there's aspects of her own power she can't control. And it affects her negatively, as well.

She swivels around in her chair a bit, and stands up to walk over to the shelf behind her, where a somewhat elaborate carving of the moon sits.]

Where I'm from... [She pauses, trying to figure out how to word it. It's not so easy in something other than Japanese.] The moon also is... very important. For different reasons. No one's... a wolf there. At least I don't think. Even more than the sun, the island's god of choice is... the moon. [She rests her hand atop the carving, and cants her usual smile over her shoulder at Kagerou.] Because of this... I might be able to help. If you would like something symbolic.
soundandfurry: (the sick and tired refrain of everyday)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-06 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
You mean Tsukiyomi? -Kagerou looked at the carving, tilting her head quizzically.- Never really been religious, myself...
blooming_resonance: (Default)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-06 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Not... necessarily Tsukuyomi. Our customs are a little different. [She pauses, then laughs, softly.] The moon itself, not as represented with a god, but as it is. Where... the lunar eclipse is sacred. The moon is the soul.

Still, it means the Tsukimori Miko make interesting charms and other trinkets.

soundandfurry: (I'm lost and I'm found)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-06 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... It is really beautiful. I like it.
blooming_resonance: (003)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-06 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that seems to settle that - Kagerou gets to get a little trinket from Rougetsu.

Not the moon thing, obviously, it's kind of huge, but something else from Gesshou, probably.]

Now. Is there anything else that helps keep you calm and settled at night? Do we need to change your schedule around some so you can stay up later... Within your room? Or something to make you sleep earlier?
soundandfurry: (I howl and I whine)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-06 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... I dunno. I'm just... I wish I wasn't here. I wish I didn't have to be here. -Things were better when it was just her and her mother.-
blooming_resonance: (011)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Sakuya's smile turns a little pained, and she returns to her seat.] I know. I'm sure if it... [She stops and seems to think better of speaking on it.] ... I know. [Well it's either here, or she goes back to... brain surgeries and attempts to cure her.]

The world is... an unsafe place at the moment. We have a safe haven here. It is not perfect and... I won't pretend it is. But as things are...

It's better. And, there is safety in numbers.
soundandfurry: (following the trail of tears)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-07 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
I was safe with Mamma... I could have done fine on my own, with what she'd taught me...
blooming_resonance: (015)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-07 11:52 am (UTC)(link)
I don't doubt that you could have survived. [She presses her fingers together.] I wonder if it wouldn't have... become very lonely though.
soundandfurry: (flowers bloom in to red and whites)

[personal profile] soundandfurry 2014-10-07 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I could have made friends! I couldn't be the only one out there...
blooming_resonance: (Default)

[personal profile] blooming_resonance 2014-10-07 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
And what is so different from making friends here?
