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.

Wow, you're really mad, huh...? Go on and be mad. Why not? There's a lot to be mad about.

[Adachi stands staring at him, and though he's not where he seems to be at all, the fake version of him stands staring, too, eyes shining. He doesn't know if he should laugh, or what.]

It must have hurt a lot, right? What they did. I know what it's like, to be treated like shit.

[Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about, and he doesn't care, but it's easy to see that this is one of the more fucked up members of Professor X's enclave of misfit mutants.]

I get it. Well, for a little while, you can't hurt anyone and no one can hurt you, but you're not even gonna appreciate it.

[He's used to not being appreciated. He doesn't even want to do this.]

[Oh, it definitely hurt. He's not sure if it's physical or emotional pain he's remembering, but it's all just a blur of betrayal and terror. Everything from his conception to the moment he shoved a gathering needle through Fontaine's chest. All the mind games and torture and so, so much pain...]

Fuck you! Fuck you, you don't know jack shit, you- he just sat back and let them- motherfucker did nothing but lie and I trusted him and-

[It seems Jack isn't completely here. No, his mind is jumping back through the snatches of real memories he has, the few bits and pieces that prove everything good in his life is a lie. Everything good is a lie. Even the Institute is a lie, he's not safe here at all, is he?]

I don't wanna be stuck in here with you, you're just like him!

[denialism]

I know more than you think I do.

[He knows the general formula.]

Me? I didn't do shit to anyone.

[All right, he did kill some people, true, but not—directly, with his own two hands. Would it have been better, if he had? Easier? Would he have felt better about it?

Well, he was just offering them a better life. He thinks.]

I'm holding some brat in detainment who doesn't know how to follow the rules. That's it. No one's asking you to trust me, and I don't remember you trusting me for one minute now that I think of it. [But this makes sense, because...] Who trusts cops?

[the_prodigal_son]

F- fuck you! [He backs up away from Adachi and shakes his head pointedly.] I don't trust you- he'd say that too- and I said I lied, it doesn't matter anymore! It doesn't- I just wanna go home!

[He's shaking heavily now, and of course he's too stressed out to think straight. Fontaine- Adachi- the line between that's actually happening and what he's scared of happening is really getting blurred.]

I killed him and I'll kill you too if you don't let me out!
