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.

Ain't met the law-man yet who couldn't.

[Al sinks into an easy smile.]

Tell you what, you happen to spot the brat who made off with this, holler, and we can split the day's spoils.

I still got another fuckin' class left to go, anyways.

[denialism]

Right... Yeah, we're all a bunch of drunks. Surprised we ever catch anyone!

[He keeps the forced smile on his face, but he couldn't exactly accept the offer, even if he had some kind of power that would allow him to find a bottle of whiskey hidden somewhere on this huge campus.]

All right, you're on. I'll take you up on that.

[Since he has absolutely no intention of looking for it, then he doesn't have to reveal that he's forbidden from drinking, like he's some kid.]

Fortunately for me, I've got no class.

[Okay that pun was pretty bad, but he's proud of himself for managing an English pun nonetheless. Progress!]

[blackdarjeeling]

Drunks or other, less easily negotiable pains in my balls.

[Though Adachi's reply seems to have snuffed out whatever hope Al had of recruiting him as a useful second hand at hunting down his liquor. His ingratiating turns into a dull stare, before he gives a half-shrug.]

Sounds merciful. They got you making rounds, then? Nosing out which student's cutting class to grow weed out of the dorms...? Though, personally, I always figured any local supply had to come from that garden our Queen of Sheba headmistress' got going...

[denialism]

Well, since I'm not exactly a drunk, I wonder if that'll make me the other kind?

[Nope, Adachi is almost aggressively non-useful! It's a real talent.]

Who me? I'm mostly perimeter, you know—if you ever wondered what poor guy patrols all the exciting, empty parts of the estate, you're looking at him. So I deal with people trying to get out and people trying to get in. Or I would, if that happened a lot.

[There's other staff with powers better suited to finding pot and other illicit substances like that. Not that he never looks for contraband or goes on patrol in other areas, but when you're not allowed to enter half of the dorms, it doesn't make you very useful in that department.]

I don't know much about that stuff. You'd have to ask one of the other guys. I've never been in there. But if she's growing it, it's automatically not a problem. I don't want to get on her bad side. That's a case of legality by association.

[blackdarjeeling]

[Dryly:] Let's hope not.

Border patrol, huh? Must be a lot of marching the fuck around.

[Al swivels around, turning away from Adachi and the desk to look off towards the door. Since this guy's no help, obviously he needs to decide where to start hunting for drunken delinquents. His tone's distracted as he answers back.]

Important work, though. Wouldn't want a flock of geese settling in without the esteemed Professor's say-so or whatever the fuck.
