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.

[What is it that's making her so upset about this conversation? It isn't really the other girl's apathy towards the poor. She's not really someone who can cast stones about that, if she's honest.]

[No, it's that her apathy is so unpersonable, so offputting, and she so clearly doesn't care. She doesn't care if Krista thinks poorly of her at all.]

[It's a little sickening to realize she's sort of jealous of the honesty of it. Not to mention the unimaginable confidence it must take to just... not care if anyone likes her.]

[Historia isn't that strong. She's not nearly that honest.]

Maybe not. But I don't need my studies to be able to help them now.

Then [leaning in a bit - if she was there in person, it would be the difference between more distance than is polite in a conversation and less distance than is comfortable in a conversation] just drop out and do that full time, if it is so important to you. Maybe someone will think you so admirable that they'll even provide you with food and shelter for your trouble.

[Something about that strikes through the core of her. Admirable. Is she that easy to see through, or is it just a coincidence, a shot in the dark?]

I don't see why I can't do both.

[siesinddasessen]

So you're just going to split your dedication in even parts and apply half of it to each studying and volunteering?

[Leaning back a bit, her face resting on one of her hands, the other making a vague gesture that could be a lot but definitely isn't encouraging of what she just proposed.]

Well, if I stay in school, I'll learn more things I can do to help. But I can still help when for now when I'm not too busy at school! On the weekends, or in summer...

And then after you were in school you can go to college, find a rich guy, marry him and have 1.9 children so he'll keep you and use your time to do volunteer work instead of working.

[She's going to make that face again.]

I didn't say anything like that!

[She doesn't have the first idea what kind of life she wants, other than "one where people like her". Somehow, though, something about that rings really, deeply wrong.]
