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.

[Mutants are weird and gross ok?]

They're my family, of course they love me! And I love them. They want what's best for me—not this. So why should I be taken away from them? It isn't fair.

[sugoooi]

Ahh, that's a relief... I was worried--you have really great parents! You're lucky. I heard a lot aren't like that. [ Granted his own are part of the minority who actually didn't mind and more wanted a better life for Sam than anything else, but. ]

I don't understand why they'd want to keep you away from a family that loves you no matter what...

[garganteren]

Yeah, see, they are great!

[Eren may be leaving out some important details.]

I don't get it either. We should have the right to live our lives like we want! The news media's always calling us extremists and stuff, but this is America, and everyone has the right to their own beliefs.

[sugoooi]

--So long as they don't infringe upon the rights and freedoms of others! [ Yeah ABOUT THOSE DETAILS... ]

[garganteren]

My rights weren't being infringed on, so they should send me back!

And yeah... it's not like they hurt any mutants, they just don't like them. People do have the right not to like other people.

[Details, what details?]

[sugoooi]

But they like you...so that's one mutant! [ Sam's taking this as there being hope for the FoH. ] You're not so bad. Don't beat yourself up.

[garganteren]

Yeah...

[He actually feels a bit conflicted, BUT he can't be a hypocrite! He must remain true to his ideals. He can't be given a free pass just because they care about him. He knows that. Not when humanity itself is at stake!]

I am a dangerous mutant. I shouldn't be allowed to endanger innocent members of society.

[When in doubt, quote the party line!]

[sugoooi]

So...why don't you stay until you can control yourself and stuff, then bust out! That's why I'm here!

[sugoooi]

...Well, not to bust out or anything after, I think my parents are just gonna come pick me up like normal, but you get the point.

1/2

[garganteren]

Yeah, I could play along for a little while, and then break out when they're least expecting it!

2/2

[garganteren]

[Wait a second...]

But don't tell anyone else about that, okay?

[sugoooi]

Of course! Friends always keep each others' secrets! You can count on me! [ Mind you this is a T E R R I B L E secret to keep and he doesn't even know Eren's name, but shh. Sam holds a fist against his sternum proudly anyway. ]

SAM IS KILLING ME

[garganteren]

[This kid is so weird! Are all mutants this weird. But it does make it kind of hard to be mad at him.]

Uh, we're not...

[Well, he does want this kid to keep his secret, so he's not going to protest too much EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE DEFINITELY NOT FRIENDS. He's not going to say they are friends and be fake, though.]

Good. Because it won't work if they find out about it.

[Ignoring the fact that the school is run by a mind reader...]

sdmjfs I'M SORRY PLEASE LIVE

[sugoooi]

[ It's okay SAM'S MIND IS A FORTRESS by accident...ish... ]

Don't you worry, I'll make sure you're reunited with your family if it's the last thing I do! [ Though if they know he's a mutant it probably will...be.... ]

no i'm already dead and it's your fault

[garganteren]

[But Eren's mind is the opposite of a fortress!]

Really? Why would you do that?

[Seriously... Why?]

oh noooooo :c you had your whole life ahead of you

[sugoooi]

[ Eren's mind needs more mental legos. ]

Well...'cause we're friends. Why else?? You should always help someone in need! [ Mutant or not. It's just the Right Thing To Do mister ]

alas... i hope you're ashamed of yourself

[garganteren]

I told you we're not. Friends.

[He can't lie and say he's someone's friend. That wouldn't be right.]

I don't even know you!

[Plus, you're a mutant! Eren does believe in helping people in need, but mutants aren't in need—!]

so very ashamed

[sugoooi]

You know my name and birthday don'tcha? That's more than enough! [ Sam is is need of a friend!! ]

good, you should just hope no one decides to avenge me!

[garganteren]

But you don't know mine!

[Ah ha, he has discovered a flaw in your logic.]

And that doesn't make any sense, anyway. That's not how you make friends.

[Sam, why did you pick the mutant-hating extremist as your friend?]

I will sic sam upon them as well

[sugoooi]

[ because he is the one most in need of a friend ]

It totally is! And if you're so worried, just introduce yourself. I don't bite.

you monster

[garganteren]

[Eren folds his arms.]

No, it isn't. And I won't.

I'm not scared of you.

/elmo emote

[sugoooi]

Because I'm totally harmless, duh! Like a cat. [ meow. ] Now introduce yourself~

[garganteren]

Harmless... So what's your power?

[Maybe a harmless mutant would be less bad?]

And you can't make me introduce myself if I don't want to.

[Now he's just being stubborn.]

[sugoooi]

[ Ahh...the one question he actually doesn't really like to answer. He feels like it'd just be so unpopular with people and honestly a pain, given what the school's for. Sam rubs the back of his neck guiltily and tries a weak chuckle. ]

My power's uhh...well. It kinda--stops other powers. And stuff.

[garganteren]

Really—?!

[Eren practically shouts. No, he actually shouts.]

You can do that? You can make it go away?

[That's what he wants more than anything! To be normal again! And go home.]
