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.

[With a sigh and a shake of his head, Adachi puts his finger gun away. Wow, Adachi's best Clint Eastwood impression got no reaction.]

Not much fun, are you, kid? It's a movie! Dirty Harry. See what I mean, it's easy not to know what people are talking about if you don't watch enough TV. And then you don't get the joke, which was really funny.

[Shh, talking to actual people is not necessary! It is just a pain in the ass. Listen to Adachi and his flawless English. You don't see him going around talking to people, and he's doing great.]

Just hang in there! That's what you're here in school for, to learn. I bet in no time you'll be better at it than an old man like me.

You would only be an old man if you were a TV character.

[See, he knows things. Just not American movies yet.]

And your English is very good.

[Adachi laughs.]

That's good, kid. Yeah, I heard in America, they lock up their actors over 40. Only let them out for a remake.

[He shakes his head at the compliment.]

I've been here a couple years, that's all.

[And he does study a lot. Sometimes there's not much of anything else to do.]

They call that full immersion. But kids' brains are better at learning languages, right? More flexible and stuff.
