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.

[Gilberte returns the smile, pleased as well. She's enjoying herself. Well, she loves art, and this girl already seems so intelligent, so fascinating. She does love artists, and talented people.]
Watching people, yes. I enjoy that also. People are always so interesting, so much potential... Who knows what they might become?
[That statement could be quite normal, taken at face value.]
No, this is a part of my mutation! Once I was... much smaller.
[She shapes the air with her hands, tracing a girl-shape much more within the realm of normalcy, not tiny, but not giant, either.]
As I am a knight, it is only fitting! That I should be strong in body as well as in mind.
no subject
[Yes, this is a completely normal conversation, nothing strange here!
Gilberte mimes that shape, Ryuuna sits up a little straighter, leaning forward in her seat.]
Woah, really? That's so cool! I'm kinda jealous, actually... [Because there are absolutely no downsides to visible mutations, right? Really, Ryuuna is just as fascinated by mutant bodies as she is plain old human ones, and she's always been a little disappointed that her mutation doesn't involve anything cool, like sprouting spikes from her skin or something.] Now I definitely wanna draw you! Ah, but— A pose, a pose...
[She needs a pose to draw her super cool new friend in!]
no subject
[Of course, it would take another artist to understand!]
Yes, vraiment. My power is to make things more beautiful.
[NO, IT ISN'T.]
But you need not be jealous, you are beautiful already!
[She agrees that there is no downside to visible mutations, and she loves looking different. She wouldn't want to look normal! Not that she thinks Ryuuna does. She waits patiently on the artist's decision. She does tend to be a drama queen and attempt to take over in drama club, but she respects the work of other artists in their own space.]
I will take on any pose you desire!
no subject
[She rubs the back of her neck, her smile turning faintly sheepish. She does pay a lot of attention to her appearance, so she typically takes compliments in stride, but this one is different.]
Now I'm really jealous, though. [Though the statement sounds entirely good-natured. She lifts the hand that hasn't been fidgeting with her pencil and flexes her fingers.] All I can do is patch people back together. Real boring, you know?
Anyway— Let's get something that shows off those lovely arms of yours! [Ryuuna taps her pencil against her lip again, then traces a circle in the air with its tip.] Turn around a little, hm?
no subject
[She actually compliments a lot of people, because she finds people very interesting, for—various reasons, but she means it sincerely in Ryuuna's case.]
Boring? Not so, not so at all. To shift and steer the body—perhaps you could "patch them up" better than before! I can do such a thing, perhaps, but—ah, c'est interdit! [She puts a finger to her lips, as if she is telling Ryuuna a secret.]
Hmm, yes! Let me see! [Gilberte obeys, perfectly pliable and willing to shift to suit. She whirls in place, spreading her arms wide.]
no subject
[Apparently satisfied with what she sees, Ryuuna gives the order to halt. Behind Gilberte, there's the sound of the chair's legs scraping against the floor, so presumably she's scooting herself into whatever angle she wants to draw from.]
Yeah, I guess it's not all bad... [But that's not something she can talk about with someone she's just met! Even if she does seem like her kind of person.] What do you do, exactly?
no subject
To patch is to change. So, if you are an artist, you can be creative!
As I said, I make things more beautiful. I make them different. A little twist, and that suffices. I change them from the inside out.
