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.

I'd use photos but that's impossible to crystallize =(

...ooooh.

[She looks thoughtful for a brief moment and then concentrates, withdrawing all the loose pieces to pull herself together as much as possible. She even gains some ghostlike hair from the tiniest, almost dust-like diamonds.]

That is a good power. Maybe not for us...

[She slowly falls apart into a more whirling, spread form, unable to keep her full self for long.]

...but for others. Maybe you can help them. Stop their power when they can't control it. Like a hero.

yeah )8 weh

[sugoooi]

...You think so? I thought it might just make everyone mad--because it gets rid of all the cool stuff they can do. Do people really go out of control here??

[expensiveglitter]

Some have really strange powers that might be hard to control. Maybe it would give them a headache and they need to take a break, and you can do that for them!

[sugoooi]

I wonder... I mean, I'd like to help if I can! It's just that I feel like I'd be a bother in most cases. [ But if there is a chance to do something like that of course he'd be willing. If there was a way a power like his could actually be used for something, he's for it. ]

[expensiveglitter]

Maybe if it's an accident or if you do it for fun, people might be bothered and maybe a little annoyed... but not if they need help. You can help.

[She giggles a little again.]

If we still had our body, we'd hold your hand all the time so we could be a real girl.

[sugoooi]

[ Oh no...that's so sad. And adorable. Sam feels a swell of botherly pride here and his pity for her overflows :c ]

Y-you would?? Really...? [ GULP. ] I'd never let go, I promise!

[expensiveglitter]

[Aw, Sam. You made the broken girl happy!]

We like you, you are nice. [She flows backwards a bit, swirling around like a little ballerina-slash-glitter-tornado.]

Will you be our friend? What is your name?

[sugoooi]

[ It's like watching the insides of a snow globe all move at once; it's pretty, and just a little mesmerizing. ]

I'm Sam--what about you? We can definitely be friends!

[expensiveglitter]

[Exactly! She'd be very happy if she knew that's what he thought. She liked snow globes.]

We don't remember our name, but we call ourselves Glitter. We like Sam. Our friend.

[sugoooi]

[ He'll have to figure this out one day and get her one c: ]

Glitter huh? That's a cute name. [ Though he feels back she can't recall what her own was. Part of her mutation, he wonders? ]

[expensiveglitter]

[She'd be sohappy to have a glittery friend!]

You think so? Thank you, Sam!

[She swirls around again, giggling a little. Unfortunately it wasn't part of her mutation to be so odd and forgetful, but the fact that her mind was a little broken from breaking apart into tiny diamonds long before her mutation was actually finished.]

[sugoooi]

Yeah! Hehe. [ He grins big and wide, all cheer himself. She reminds him a little bit of his younger sister...albeit much older. Molly's only 6 after all. But Glitter makes him feel cool and brotherly. ]

How long have you been going here?? I only arrived a little while ago when they found out what I could do.

[expensiveglitter]

[Even if she might look around ten, she doesn't quite act it - so Sam's big bro feels are totally valid.]

Um... just a few days, too! They saved us from our daddy and said I could stay.

[sugoooi]

Your...dad? [ Oh no...he's not sure he likes the sound of this. ]

[expensiveglitter]

Mhm... he's the one that broke our body and tried to sell us.

[That sounds bad (and kind of is), but not in the most disgusting way.]

[sugoooi]

Wait--he broke you?! [ Is that why she's in pieces instead of one whole chunk...? Is she not made of diamonds then? Diamonds are supposed the be the hardest thing ever, he thought. ]

[expensiveglitter]

[She nods a little at that, looking down at the mass of crystals were her feet should be.]

He was mad at us for being a mutant. He broke our shell and we fell out. We weren't done yet.

[sugoooi]

But--you're his daughter! How could anyone do something like that to someone they cared about...

[expensiveglitter]

[Just an average kid in an abusive family with a drunk dad and a scared mom.]

He just hated mutants a lot.
