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.

[ Takakage follows the trail of paper balls to where a certain young lady was sitting.

He clears his throat slightly to catch her attention. While his expression is still gentle, his voice has a certain firmness to it. ]

Excuse me. Could you please clear these up?

[ Referring to her balls, of course. Cleanliness is paramount in the library. ]

[ ooc: he looks visually about 20 so she could mistake him for a student :'D ]

Leave me a-

[And as she turns to look who's talking - oops. Did she really throw that many of them?

Going a bit red, here.]

Stupid things! Ugh, fine.

[thirdarrow]

[ Her caustic remarks fail to elicit any visible sort of reaction from him. ]

The library is a public place, and its cleanliness is the responsibility of all who use it. There is a dustbin beside that shelf, kindly use it if you need to dispose of anything.

[caliginosa]

[Grumble. Grumble. She starts to gather the pile up and deposit the lot.]

[thirdarrow]

[ He watches the girl work, not leaving until she has cleared up all her trash. ]

Try not to waste so much paper. Many of them can still be used.

[ Referring to the crumpled sheets, of course. ]

[caliginosa]

...What's it to you?

[And more grumbling.]

[thirdarrow]

Paper costs resources to produce, and thta's something the school is paying for.

[ It seems that she probably hasn't realized his identity as a teacher. ]

[caliginosa]

[Cue a slightly baffled look, here...]

[thirdarrow]

[ He sighs a little before continuing. ]

You're wasting paper. It matters because if you used less, other people could have had enough paper for their own studies.

[caliginosa]

You mean they don't?

[thirdarrow]

[ Sort of. ] Not if you waste it so extravagantly.

[caliginosa]

This is "extravagant"?

[Doesn't that mean... parties and things? she thinks.]

[thirdarrow]

Extravagant. Excessive. Unnecessary.

[ He says this with a slight gesture. Simple synonyms. ]

[caliginosa]

Oh.

[Hmph - well, that makes more sense, at least.]

Fine, fine! I'll be more ...careful.

[thirdarrow]

[ He gives her a slight nod in affirmation, but does not speak. If there's anything else she wants to mention, now would be the time. ]
