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.

[He's tempted to admit he has his own booze... a lot of his own booze... but Booker is a man of temptation and bad life choices. He takes the bottle and indulges gratefully.]

Folks like me work better on that mentality. [He hands the bottle back, now missing half of its contents.] Simpler for everyone that I keep to myself.

[He takes a moment to shake his bottle, feeling and hearing the significantly reduced liquid sloshing about inside. Well, he'd just have to refill it later.]

Until things get too much and you've become a fuse waiting for just one spark.

[He knows what that's like.]

[This gives him pause. He knows what that's like too, and he's used to using it to his advantage. Taking it out on the people he's hired to. But he is trying to convince himself he's retired from violence. And that means he no longer has that outlet.

He scratches his stubble idly.

So far it has. [He shrugs a bit - he checked when he had a particularly bad time getting away from ghosts of the past.] But if you do manage to destroy it, at least Xavier isn't lacking in funds for repairs.
