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!

[Another pause, as Elsa tries to work up the courage for what she's going to say next.]

I'm grateful that everyone here is so considerate. My stay here so far has been much nicer than I expected.

[Of course, she expected to be gunned down and killed by anti-mutant radicals as soon as she arrived, because that's just how Elsa's life works.]

[And he was half expecting everyone here to be gun-toting xenophobes, but in the end, he's glad he gave it a try.]

Well, everyone at the school has been a newcomer at one point or another.

[And most of them know what it's like. The loneliness, the fear of getting run out of other communities.]

The library's over here.
