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.

Different-colored eyes don't kill people.

....Uhh, yeah they do. Or can. Whichever--the point is that the eyes and stuff is genetic too and that's not being sick!

Well, if people with different-colored eyes die because of it, we should try to help them too, and fix the gene if we can. Are you saying we shouldn't try to help people with genetic disorders? Like hemophilia and cystic fibrosis?

[Sorry, Sam, the Friends of Humanity make these kinds of comparisons all the time.]

[ EREN THIS ISN'T FAIR HIS EDUCATION IS LACKING EVEN AT THE BEST OF TIMES... ]

W...well....

[GOING TO FRIENDS OF HUMANITY SCHOOL GIVES YOU A SPECIFIC BUT INTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE SET.]

Even some cancers are genetic. But we shouldn't try to help those people either, is that what you're saying? Because their genes made them that way.

There are mutants with mutations that hurt them, or hurt those around them. They want to be normal again. Shouldn't we help them?

[ He's going to start thinking Eren's a genius. How dangerous. ]

O...of course we should help them! And the other people too!

[Well, Eren thinks he's pretty smart, thanks for noticing!]

Right! That's what we should do! These people need our help!

Yeah!

[ ...Err. ]

--But only if they want it!

I didn't say we were forcing people, did I?

There are enough people who want to be helped.

And...that's where someone like me comes in, right?

Yeah, right! You could help everybody. If we can get your power strong enough.

I wonder how I'm supposed to practice it... Should I just shake hands with a lot of people? Or like high-five them?

[Eren almost laughs at this.]

More like low-five.

[Get it, because you're short!!]

[ Sam would be so proud of son's first crack...if it wasn't over his height... ]

Geh--!

So you should stick with handshakes for now, unless you grow out of it.

[Ha! While Eren has the advantage, he is going to press it!]

I will!! I will grow out of it, and one day I'm going to shoot up like a tree--! A tree, you hear me?! Like eighty feet tall!!

[ What a bully...???? He's going to try and grow just to spite you Eren. He'll grow taller than you and look down on you and lord his height over you for the rest of his life.

That or buy platform shoes. ]

[Sam's the bully, forcing people to be his son! Who does that?]

You'd be sorry if you were that tall.

[Trust Eren, he knows.]

I told you, it doesn't matter how tall you are now!

[Even if he then went and teased you for being short.]

[ Sam can't handle all this hot and cold treatment Eren!! Are you trying to make him happy or sad or what here. ]

But...you just--!

[He doesn't know! There's a lot he doesn't know!]

You shouldn't ever let anyone make you feel small.

[But teasing him about his height is different and okay!]

[ That is not how that works at ALL, wow!! And he's wondering here if he should call Eren out on that but dealing with him is exhausting enough already huffs. ]

I know that...! I'm older than you, of course I know!

You keep acting like you want some mutant power to make you taller or stronger. But you don't need anything like that!

[Teasing people is one thing, but people wishing they could fix things with mutations is completely different.]

I don't need to be a mutant, I just need to be tall! It was just an example--like an auto-matterpea! [ Onomatopoeia, but what he meant to say was "hyperbole"....... ]

What? I don't know what you're talking about.

[Not only is Eren not up on his literary terms, he just has no idea what Sam is talking about.]

Don't worry about what you look like.

But I want people to think I'm all dependable and look up to me... [ u tried, Eren. sort of. ]

Being tall has nothing to do with being dependable! Someone can be tall and irresponsible!
