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.

It's the truth. You're not normal.

[He's never actually had to interact with mutants before, and it's weird. He doesn't like it.]

I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings.

[He still feels bad, but of course he can't expect to make friends here! It's better for Sam to just accept that, too.]

You still don't need to call me a freak--! You don't need to call me names! [ Too late you already made a friend and subsequently hurt his feelings all in one go. ]

[He doesn't like this at all, AND THEY'RE NOT FRIENDS.]

I guess I don't need to... but that's what I think.

[So he'll think it! Even if he doesn't say it!]

But fine, I won't!

[As long as Sam knows what he thinks.]

You're heartless....

Yeah, I am. That's why you shouldn't be friends with me.

[Although as he says it HE IS FEELING REALLY BAD, so he's probably not actually heartless.]

[ Eren probably looks like this ]

Well too bad!! Someone needs to look after you and teach you to be nice!

[PROBABLY.]

I don't need to be nice. I mean, I don't need to be taught! I know how to be nice, around normal people.

You should be nice to everyone who deserves it--! Don't be stingy!

What makes them deserve it?

I'm not stingy. I'm selective!

Well...what a baby huh? A baby can't do anything to make it deserve it! Or a little kid. You just take care of them because it's the right thing to do no matter what right??

Yeah, of course I'd do that for a baby or a little kid!

[However, he has an impeccable logical argument to offer here.]

You're not a baby, are you?

I'm a child at heart. And you crushed it like a grape.

How old are you, anyway? Twelve?

I'm almost sixteen!!! [ SHRIEK... ]

What, really? You can't be older than me!

[He'd felt bad about being mean to someone younger! But he's not younger at all!]

Don't you know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover...! Just because I'm short doesn't mean I'm a kid!

But you kind of talk like one, too.

[Wow Eren, you are only 14.]

I'm totally mature!

More like totally immature. You said you're a child at heart, anyway!

[See how he pointed out your contradiction? He's so smart.]

You can be a child at heart and still be an adult y'know! It means you aren't super-serious and you still know how to be happy and find joy in life like when you were a kid. It's a good thing.

[ He would've brought up Santa as an example but he's sort of not real. It probably wouldn't help his case. ]

You can be an adult and be immature.

What's wrong with being serious? There's a lot to be serious about. I don't see any reason to be happy here.

You're alive and in good health aren't you? And you have food and water and a place to sleep at night. A lotta people don't even have that.

Sure, things could be worse, but that doesn't mean I have to like them as they are. Things could always be worse. This isn't what I wanted.

[He wanted to do what his family thought was best, but he can't do that here. He can't—do that to himself.]

Would you rather me sick and starving?? Eren, you gotta be grateful for the good stuff in your life! If you only focus on the bad then you're never going to wind up happy that way...

And hey! You've got me! Mr. No-Go. One high-five and you're as bland as...uhh...anyone, I guess.

No, I don't want that... And it's easy for you to say, it's different for you.

[Although Sam does make one good point, about his power.]

Yeah, that's right!

[He brightens briefly, but then is just as quickly crestfallen.

But you can't make it stick, and they're not going to let me take you home with me.

[For one thing, that would be horrible.]
