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.

[Sighing again, Zian crouches down a bit because he's a seven-foot guy and he wants to be on equal level with this kid. Reaching up to his mask, he turns down the translator volume slightly before signing.]

Alright. This discussion is just running in circles. You're obviously to upset to listen, and I'm getting frustrated and I'm not going to yell at a kid. That's not the kind of man I am.

I'm sure you have a reason to think like this, and I'm not forcibly changing your opinion. Just trying to say things every single mutant in this world would say. Not just here, but everywhere. I'm living proof of that.

It is frightening for people, and bad things are happening to mutants in other countries that tried the same laws. The fear that the same thing will happen here is real, whether or not it will actually come to that. America is not infallible, history is obvious about that. Genocide of native Americans, slavery - it's not a new thing.

...but I'm getting off topic. It's obvious why the professor brought you here, and I'm willing to bet my life it's not to kidnap you and bring you harm. However, this is a school of frightened kids and hormonal teens that you've just pissed off, so just try to keep the MRA opinion down a bit. I don't want you in my office for anything related to school fights. Preferably just flu shots and colds.

[Eren continues to glare angrily. Not even some 7 foot tall weirdo can intimidate him!]

I know what mutants think about it. That's not hard to figure out.

And how is this genocide or slavery? That's totally different! It's just being careful! So that people can be protected. We already have the census. There is going to be a war, and we have to be ready for it.

I'm not going to be quiet about my opinion. I have as much of a right to say my opinion as anyone else here in the United States of America. If people can't deal with a different opinion, that's their fault. They can be as mad as they want. You're not going to have to heal me, so don't worry about it.

And I was kidnapped.

That war is kind of the thing we're trying to stop, but okay.

[Siigh.]

I'm not even an American citizen and even I know that the freedom of speech thing is about the government being forbidden to censor you, not you having the moral right to spit your opinions to a school full of refugees trying to get by in a world that fears and hates them.

I'm not even saying you should be completely quiet about them, either. Just try to be more careful of who you speak with - for their sake and your own.

It is going to happen. It's just a matter of time! Anybody can see that.

[Eren has no faith in your efforts to stop it.]

No! It's not like I'm yelling fire or something. I'm saying that I agree with something the government is proposing, and that's my constitutional right! So I won't be careful at all.

[He means it, being careful is for losers!]

[Gosh, kid. That's like screaming racist stuff in Harlem. Plus you heard like only 12% of what he said.

Zian feels really, really bad for Eren, but he has to admit that it isn't his job and he's not a psychiatrist. Just a medic, and the kid wasn't bleeding. He just didn't want him to end up doing that.

He grew up with the morlocks. Eren would have been dead in five minutes. Five, because some might have been against hurting a kid.]


Fine. Please be careful, if not for you, but the little kids.

[He's not racist!!! Also, he doesn't get it.]

Okay, fine, I'm not gonna let anyone bother any little kids!

[That appears to be the one way to even partially get through to Eren.]

But that's it!
defibrillating: make it explode again please (hey that's cool)

[personal profile] defibrillating 2014-11-06 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[Really, that's all he could ask, now. He'd done his best... but he'd make sure someone qualified took a long, long time talking to this kid.]

[He's not expecting to be thanked, so he folds his arms and frowns.]

Yeah. You don't have to thank me. I wouldn't have done that anyway!

[He's not some jerk who's mean to kids!]

Alright, alright. Go get some food or something and chill.

[personal profile] garganteren 2014-11-07 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, fine!

[Eren still sounds defensive, just because it's hard for him to stop arguing once he's started. But he really has nothing to argue about here.]

Not that I'm going to chill.

[In case you thought he would actually relax, he is pointing out that he won't!]
