THE TEST DRIVE MEME

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!

We also ask that you please pardon our dust. We're working very hard to get this game up and running and hope to be open by September 1st!

[There's something really familiar about that voice, but five years is a lot of time for it to change, so he can't place it right off.]

... Yeah.

[fuckuimametalbender]

It's Toph Beifong, the blind girl. Only, uh, now it's the blind teacher.

[icy_heavens]

[... Oh. Right. That clicks in his mind.]

So it's pretty safe to say you didn't get hit with it, then. [Lucky you.]

[fuckuimametalbender]

Nope. Welcome to the future, sorry we don't have hoverboards. Stark's holding out on us.

[icy_heavens]

So what part of the looney bin are you in charge of?

[fuckuimametalbender]

[You can hear her grin]

I got Miss Shego's old job. Combat 101.

I wonder if this is the part where I'm supposed to lay my head on the desk and question what my life has become.

[Because you know he'll be taking combat classes. No way in hell is he not picking up where he left off.]

[fuckuimametalbender]

On the plus side, I'm not mildly psycho?

[icy_heavens]

[To be fair, part of that comment is because he's adjusting to the fact that people he's gone to school with are now going to be his teachers. Wait until he finds out Fai is one of his science teachers; that ought to be good.]

Well, I wouldn't call her psychosis mild. But yeah, I guess that's a point in your favour. [He's actually going to miss the crazy woman, in his own bizarre way.]

[fuckuimametalbender]

Hey, she always pointed it in the right direction. That's mild enough for me.

[She misses her, too]

And hey, my class comes with a free puppy!

[icy_heavens]

[He's not entirely sure when he'd developed that weird grudging respect for her, but it's there all the same.]

Had it pointed at me often enough. [Not the violent kind, outside of class, anyway. The other kind of crazy wound up shoved at him because he's so humourless. And he would back-sass her a lot. Shut up, that was totally smart.]

New one, huh?

[fuckuimametalbender]

Yeah, Badger got sick a year or so ago. I have Bender now, and she's not nearly as relaxed.
