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, as well as the weekly updates to make sure you have all your ducks in a row.

She put her hands on his shoulders and looked him very seriously in the eye.

"You don't need to excuse the ones who hurt you. The only chains on you are in your own mind."

He blinked several times, then laughed, though the laugh was a little too forced. "Spark is a cat," he explained, hoping she didn't press. Spark was a cat, but... He still refused to believe that Jacob meant to hurt him. It didn't help how often Dominic had said similar things about Jacob, but... The three of them were brothers, Nd... And even after Barthis, Greg couldn't give up on Jacob. Couldn't.

"A cat?"

Welp.

[gregorydeegan]

"A cat," he agreed. Okay so there was more of a story to Spark thn that, involving mutant powers, and genetc splicing equipment, but his father told it better, so he skirted the issue. If course, his father told every story better....

"I...have misinterpreted the situation. My apologies."

She realized her hands were still on his shoulders and abruptly let go, taking a step back.

"I tried to help when you didn't need it, you tried to help when I didn't need it. Key concept? We both tried yo help." He grinned at her, and reached until he found his walking stick... With the tips of his fingers, juuuust too far to grab with dignity. Not that he had much left. Not that he ever had much at all. He could use hi mutant power.... But somehow he knew he was going to be too stubborn for that.

So he took a lesson from the cat. Clearly if he was still sitting on the floor, it was because that was exactly where he wanted to be. Yep. He was here by choice, he totally meant to keep sitting on the grass. Right.

"I'm Gregory. Gregory Deegan, yes that Gregory Deegan, no applause necessary." He grinned. "Though if you really wanted to give me a hand, I suppose it would lift my spirits." Another grin as he waited to see of she caught the double meaning. Nit quite a double-entendre, but close enough.
