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.

All in good time.

[There's a sudden dryness to Al's tone that suggests this is classroom-appropriate idiom for, "When I damn well say so, now quit interrupting."

But since this lecture seems to be going along better as a dialogue anyway, he decides to roll with it -- and drops the Glock he's been cradling this whole time unceremoniously down onto Rinka's desk. She gets stared down for a moment, like she should already know what to do with it.]

Take that apart first. Empty it and then take apart the slide and barrel for me.

[The weapon's already unloaded, but Al doesn't bother to mention that explicitly.]

This isn't action movie bullshit. As painfully boring as it's gonna be for me, nobody's moving onto field training until you all know what the fuck you're dealing with. How to handle these things and how to use'em so the only ones who end up dead are the ones you want that way.

[Rinka looks down at the gun then back up at the teacher. Then back down at the gun. Carefully, she picks it up. It's heaver than she expected. After a brief inspection, she spots the small button that ejects the magazine. She relaxes a little when she sees it's empty. She then places the two pieces back down on her desk.]

That's all I know how to do. How do I take the rest of it apart?

[If she hadn't seen Kyotaro remove the magazine from a gun that one time, she wouldn't have been able to even manage that much.]

What, daddy didn't teach you that part?

[There's a small snrk from Al, before he reaches to point at a lever on the gun's side.]

Grip it in one hand, then pull back the slide with the other -- just far enough that you can unlock that. Then slip it off down the front. After that, you're gonna carefully lift the spring inside away from the barrel, then slide that off, too.

You got it, or should I take over?

My father doesn't have a gun. I saw that... from a friend. He grew up in a rough place so he'd seen guns before.

[It still bothered her a little that Kyotaro had so coolly handled that gun. It seemed so at odds with his usually warm personality. But perhaps if she'd grown up in that war torn nation, she too would have parts of her that could be cold like that. She listens to the teacher's instructions, then after a moment manages to dismantle the firearm. She lays each piece on the desk carefully, noting how they fit so she can put it back together properly if he tells her to.]

Like that?
