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.

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.]

[sugoooi]

[ Oh gosh that was a loud outburst--Sam jumps and fidgets with his hands together in front of him. ]

I...er, yes?? But not for good or anything--at least, I don't know if I can do it for good... It only happens when I touch someone.

[garganteren]

Oh.

[Not for good. Well, he's a little disappointed. He wants to be fixed.]

But maybe it could be for good? If you tried harder? You said you can't control it yet, right?

[sugoooi]

Yeah... We don't know when it started or how it works yet. That's why I got sent here. [ He's still not entirely sure about it, honestly. It's a little freaky to know that when he touches someone it undoes all that. ]

I don't know if I could make it for good...I could try?

[garganteren]

So you could fix me, maybe.

You'd really do that for me?

[It almost seems too good to be true. But maybe it could work!]

[sugoooi]

I could definitely try! I think you should like who you are...but if you think you might hurt someone 'cause of it, I'll definitely help you.

[ BECAUSE HE'S A GOOD GUY ]

[garganteren]

The things I do are wrong. I shouldn't be able to do them.

[If he's a mutant who can make people not be mutants, then he's better, right? The Friends of Humanity could use someone like him...]

I'm Eren.

[sugoooi]

It's nice to meet you Eren! [ That's a Name--and a victory. For him that's confirmation enough of their being friends, and although he's been reluctant to do it since arriving Sam holds out his hand to Eren in greeting.

ALSO WOW don't give him to them please what a terrible idea ]

I'll do my best to help you with your stuff, promise.

[garganteren]

I don't know if it's nice to meet you, because I don't want to be here.

[It would be for everyone's good, including Sam's! Eren may not be the best friend to have. But he means well! NOT THAT THEY ARE FRIENDS.]

Thanks.

[After a moment, he holds out his hand. At least if he touches Sam, he'll be normal for a little while, even if he doesn't feel any different.]

[sugoooi]

[ FRIENDS FOREVER, DEAL WITH IT. Handshake seals the deal and Sam's going to have the biggest grin ever as he gives him an enthusiastic shake. ]

Hehe, anytime! What's your power anyway??

[garganteren]

[More like friends never! A handshake is not a contract, Sam! Eren has not agreed to anything.

And talking about his power makes him uncomfortable. But it's only fair that he tell Sam, especially if Sam's going to fix him.]

Uh... I turn into a monster.

[sugoooi]

Hey, c'mon! That's no way to talk about yourself...! You're not a monster. [ He figures it's just Eren giving himself a hard time...yep. ]
