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.

Re: Action

Don't strain yourself trying to think of a story, I can already hear much of it....

Ah, but at least remember there is a cafeteria on campus.

[She was already filling in whatever he might tell her with her assumptions, at least with her hearing abilities it was generally accurate, as long as there were desires to follow to a logical conclusion. But this usually meant she would skip parts of a discussion at the dismay of whomever she was talking to. But in this case perhaps it was better, Booker wouldn't have to try and badly explain a bad situation. Though Miko wasn't sure if she should feel potty for a pathetic man, or shock that someonecould really hit so low.

And as for the lunch, are you sure? You seemed interested. No reason to hold back.

[The wording immediately sets him thinking about mind-readers, but after Xavier he's really too nervous about those to follow the thought. He just scratches his neck.]

No, I know, I'm uh... I'm a little nervous about going in there. Big crowds and all. [Sigh.] And I couldn't take your lunch, miss. It'd be awfully forward.

[He does kind of really want it, though.]

[divine_spirits_universe]

[ It was nearly the same for most situations, at least in the end resauilt.

Why not enter when everyone is in class or away? I'm sure there's down time at some point. And really, its not forward at all. You want it, and I really would rather not seeing you dig in that trash... So let's think of it as a trade.

[wherethelightwontfindyou]

...I guess if it's a trade...

[He sloooowly reaches over to take the meal. Okay, lunch today is going to be awesome. He mumbles a quick "thanks" before storing it away to eat where she doesn't have to see him shoving it into his face like a crazy hobo.]

And seriously, the trash thing... isn't a big deal. It's a waste just throwing that food out anyway. Kids in Africa... and... all that junk.

[divine_spirits_universe]

I would agree if you were in a place with no other options.

[Or at least did it in the dead of night or hidden off somewhere no one would ever see. The man wasn't homeless and the school provided a lot. Though she did know habits were hard to break,and one must show compassion for their fellows. Which is why offering her lunch filled for both, compassion offered, and problem solved, even if temporary.]

You don't have to try and explain yourself, I accept you.

[And accepted him as a long term project, or at least as long as she was interested.

[wherethelightwontfindyou]

["I accept you". She reminds him of a certain pair of twins he both deeply respects and never wants to run into ever again.]

I don't need you to accept me. [Which he says mostly for pride's sake.] ...But thanks.

Why are you being so nice, anyway? You need something? [It's mostly just teasing to keep the conversation going, but he is kind of curious about her.]

[divine_spirits_universe]

Need? Not especially. I make it a point to do what I can when I see a need. Only expected of anyone decent.

[It also strokes her ego and she never has anything to lose by it. But in general? She liked to meddle in other peoples affairs when the potential arose, even if she would say otherwise.]

But as I said, think of it as a trade. It does us all better, you, the school, the students, everyone, to at least keep the rummaging out of the public eye.

[wherethelightwontfindyou]

...I guess you've got a point.

[He doesn't have to like it. At this point he's pretty used to not liking other people's motives or thoughts.]

I'll try and keep my... rummaging... out of sight, then. [SIGH he just wanted some chicken. And he bets he can find a soda or something if he searches hard enough....]

[divine_spirits_universe]

Good. And remember, they do have chicken in the cafeteria. As staff you can probably just go into the kitchens and take some from the counter, and get a soda from the refrigerator.

[There was that creepy not mind reading again.]
