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.

"With a name like Skaar, I have a feeling we'll be pretty good friends,"

[Gregory said with a grin. A name like that either he was trying to be ironic - which could be amusing, threatening - which could be hilarious, a rocker - which could mean a new band-mate, OOOOOOOR.... he could be like Greg, putting his handicap out there in the forefront, in everyone else's faces, so that they didn't harass him about it. What fun was it to taunt someone who got to the joke first and beat you to the punchline? ]

[sonofhulk]

Really? Why?

[Considering the history behind his name, Skaar wasn't sure if what Gregory said was a good thing or not.]

[gregorydeegan]

"Never mind," he said with a chuckle. "Well, welcome back. If you ever need someone to chat with, my door...and my couch fort, are open."

[He shifted the camera to show that he was, in fact, laying in a huge couch fort.

[sonofhulk]

[That...was a really good idea. He wants a couch fort now!]

Can I make a couch fort too?

[gregorydeegan]

"SURE!!!!!!!"

[sonofhulk]

[His device is set down as the sound of movement is heard a short ways away. After maybe a minute or two, it's picked up again and Skaar is sitting inside a couch fort of his own.]

I like this.

[gregorydeegan]

"Best. Things. Ever!" he agreed.

[sonofhulk]

What was your name?

[Skaar liked the idea of having his own little private nook that he could set up whenever he needed some alone time. Even if it was just made out of couch cushions.]

[gregorydeegan]

"Oh, right. Sorry, I'm Gregory. Gregory Deegan. Yes, that Gregory Deegan."

[sonofhulk]

"......should I know that name?"

[Being stuck in a 5 year Phoenix nap will definitely keep someone out of the loop.]

[gregorydeegan]

[He grinned a bit. People didn't always ask.]

"Maybe," he admitted. "Probably more familiar with my dad, though. Donovan Deegan," he nodded. "Of course most people in America don't know him either."

[sonofhulk]

Oh. Sorry, I don't know who that is, but lots of people know who my dad is too. His name's Bruce Banner. The tv people usually just call him the Hulk.

[gregorydeegan]

"Oh! He's a scientist or something, right? My brother has something he wrote, or something. I remember him and Luna boring me all night talking about the "Banner theories" I think that's what they were talking about, anyhow." [Because Dominic and Luna? Science geeks. Completely.]

[sonofhulk]

That's right. He also works with the Avengers. I...don't know much about the science stuff he does. I guess it's pretty important though.

[gregorydeegan]

"I don't know much about it either. I'm not as smart as they are." [He said it with a smile. Make fun of yourself, and others are less likely to do it for you.]

[sonofhulk]

How long have you been here at the school?

[He doesn't recognize Gregory from his time before so knows he arrived after Skaar was put to sleep.]

[gregorydeegan]

"Not quite a month. Still getting settled in, though my family did come in to help out. So pretty well unpacked, just finding my way around, getting used to things here in America."
