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.

Hm... it seems like it would make it harder to really care about the patients with so much happening.

[Not everyone can know their patients by name and babysit their kids on Sundays, Zian. Pretty sure that's just a morlock thing.]

Oh! [He almost hits a hand on a nearby lamp as he signs, still not quite used to the area.] Yes, I'm ready. Should I stand.. or sit.. or lie down?

That is indeed true. Doctors generally get to know their patients a little. Some intensive events do happen from time to time, but it is generally rare.

[ He looks a little alarmed when Zian nearly knocks over the lamp, but as soon as the other man is clear he relaxes and returns to his usual calm expression, ] Whichever is comfortable for you. It will not take too long.

[ It doesn't matter what pose Zian is in. After all, his scan isn't a planar one - he can do it from any angle. ]

[He doublechecks the lamp and then takes a seat, as that seemed the easiest choice.]

Okay! I have to admit that this is really interesting. If you can use that power to find out what's wrong with someone, I'm sure I can heal it more effectively. Teamwork and all that!

That is exactly what I had been envisioning. [ He says this with a smile. With his sensing abilities and Zian's healing ones, they'll be able to patch up people faster than ever. ]

Alright. Please hold still.

[ Takakage closes his eyes, exhaling deeply as he extends his awareness outwards. Zian's water signature is easy to lock onto, but discerning its specific structure will take some time - especially given the other's distinctive anatomy.

It takes a while - around five minutes to fully register everything. Most of Zian's organs are in the right place, but Takakage can 'see' where the surgery had corrected some flaws here and there. He looks up again after he's done, a little tired out from the effort. ]


That should be it. You are in quite good shape, I must say.

[ Everything's working properly and merrily. ]

[Zian remained still and calm, taking easy breaths as Takakage worked his powers. While he couldn't feel anything, it still made him really curious - it was not like he had ever had an MRI scan before.

Maybe he could convince the other guy to come with him to the morlocks some time and work that power there as well. (...or maybe not. They tended to be violent to outsiders.)

Zian did have a somewhat unique anatomy both due to his mutation and the medical corrections and removals his father had made when he contracted the Contagion - but aside from being a little bit underweight due to being an idiot and forgetting to 'eat' sometimes, he was otherwise in top shape for a young man his age. It was nice to hear it from a third party.]


Thank you! I try to keep busy and do some exercise.

ps: congrats on getting in!!! \o/

[ An actual MRI involved getting in a narrow tube and sitting in between two really big magnets. It is probably not too comfortable an experience, especially since Zian probably had metal inside him. It won't be pretty. ]

That is good. [ Takakage says this with a nod. ] I'm sure you'll set an excellent example for our students.

[ He's half-jesting, of course. Most of them don't exactly eat balanced diets, but as X-men they would need to at least be decently fit. ]

Wheee! Do you want to make this canon?

[personal profile] defibrillating 2014-10-14 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeaaah, that would literally tear him apart.]

Don't hold me to that, pretty sure I slack off just as much. [He'll read comic books in the infirmary when nothing else needs doing.]

I'm really glad to be working with you, doc. You seem like a decent guy.
thirdarrow: (chibi ♒ Falco amurensis)

yes please!

[ That manages to make him chuckle. ] Ah, you flatter me. I still have much to learn.

[ There's a lot that he could have done, especially when he still had a family - but the wistfulness in his expression lasts for only a single second. ]

I am honoured to be working with you as well.
