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.

There's nothing wrong with my self esteem! I'll do what's right even if it's not good for me, because I want what's best for everyone!

I'm not a jerk. I don't want to hurt innocent people! I should be spied on because I'm a danger to humanity.

[sugoooi]

What makes you so dangerous anyway?? You look totally normal to me...! [ Mind you, like, 90% of all mutants look like that...but...you know. Shush. ]

[garganteren]

I don't always look like this. When I'm dangerous, I look like a monster.

[And he doesn't want to be a monster.]

But you know it doesn't matter how mutants look. The worst ones can look just like humans.

[sugoooi]

Because they are human...! [ LOVE THYSELF, EREN...that's so sad ): ] And so're you! We all are okay, no one's a monster!

STOP BEING SO CUTE SAM

[garganteren]

No, you're wrong, I am a monster! And everyone knows mutants and humans aren't the same! I'm not human anymore...

SHHHHH

[sugoooi]

YOU! [ Sam stands up straight very suddenly and shoves a pointed finger right up at Eren's grumpy mutant face. It's an incredibly dramatic point. Very intimidating. ]

How many toes do you have?!

[garganteren]

[Eren is taken aback and takes a step back. What's he talking about?]

Five! On each foot, I mean. But that doesn't mean anything.

[sugoooi]

[ There is a method to his madness. BELIEVE IN HIM WHO BELIEVES IN YOU EREN or else ]

Shush! And how many fingers?? Answer...!

[garganteren]

[He doesn't believe in Sam, Sam is a weird mutant!]

Ten. Altogether...

[sugoooi]

[ Despite the misleading colour of his hair, he still has a soul ): he swears. ]

And two eyes and two arms and lungs and a heart right???

[garganteren]

Yeah, I got all that stuff! But so do monkeys!

[sugoooi]

[ Oh...shoot, that's right. Hrmm. ]

W-well! I know but--shush!

[garganteren]

No, I won't shush!

[Ha! He found the loophole in your logic, now he's going to look smug about it.]

We're a whole different species!

[sugoooi]

[ Oh my gosh Eren HOW PETTY ]

That doesn't even count!! Monkeys are totally different from people! Do you scratch your butt in public?!

[ Because apparently that's the defining criteria here... ]

[garganteren]

No, I don't! What's that got to do with it? Two species can be different and both not scratch their butts!

[sugoooi]

But monkeys always scratch their butts... It's on Youtube all the time.

--Look the point is I'm trying to say you're still human!! Okay?? Stop beating yourself up over having an extra gene.

[garganteren]

I don't watch Youtube.

No, I'm not human, and neither are you.

[sugoooi]

I am trying to cheer you up, stop arguing with me!!! Go and watch the monkeys and you'll see what I'm talking about!!

[garganteren]

No! I don't want to be cheered up, and I don't want to watch monkeys!

[sugoooi]

Everyone wants to watch monkeys...!

[garganteren]

You're wrong, because I don't!

[This argument is really getting intellectual.]

Why would I want to sit around and watch some stupid monkeys?

[He's actually indifferent to monkeys, but why's this mutant kid so into them?]

[sugoooi]

[ WOW this kid, and he's 16!!! He's just short. How rude. ]

Because they're funny! And cute! Haven't you ever seen a Slow Loris before?? They're so tiny!

[ He will get out his phone Eren don't you tempt him ]

[garganteren]

[Well, Eren is 14, but he's taller than him!!]

Monkeys are ugly, and they smell.

[He's just being difficult, but he pauses.]

No—what's that?

[sugoooi]

[ Have respect for your elders! ]

They do not--here, look! [ Let Sam just yank out his phone and fiddle with it for a moment, before triumphantly turning it towards Eren with this photo on display. ] It's super-cute, right??

SAM IS STILL THE ONE WHO'S CUTE

[garganteren]

[No he won't respect any mutant ever!]

Uh...

[Oh no, it really is cute. Damn it.]

It's okay... It's not a mutant, anyway. It's a normal animal, right?
