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!

[... See the world spinnin' upside down, a mighty crash without a sound!!]

[So Sonic's not entirely sure why he's here; being born with super speed meant that he had to get used to controlling his powers pretty quick (ha!) so that purpose for being in the school was out the window... But misgivings about the education side of the institution aside, he could get behind the whole idea of finding some sort of peace and freedom for mutant kind everywhere.

And at least this place was big enough to warrant some exploring! With loads of people to meet too!

He would have just left the cafeteria with snack in hand, but the sight of someone sitting at a table that looked like an art store exploded above it was enough to make the speedfreak stop and investigate-]

Hey, these are pretty good!

[ooc: idek if I'm applying with this character or not BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? /throws down this tag anyway]

[I CAN FEEL YOUR EVERY RAGE, STEP ASIDE I'LL TURN THE PAGE, BREAKIN' THROUGH YOUR CRAZY MAZE, LAKE A LASER BEAM MY EYE'S ON YOOOOOOU!!

--Uh? Oh, thanks!

[It takes a second for Beat to snap out of his little work mode. When he looks up, he finds a blue-haired kid who he's never seen before (though that stands to reason, since he's never seen most students in the school before).]

I'm just gettin' the designs done now for when I finally get my spraypaint stash back.

sweet soul brother

[WAATCH ME RULE THE NIGHT AWAY, WAAATCH ME SAVE THE DAY, FEEL MY STORM IS GETTIN' CLOSE HEADING YOUR WAAAAY]

[he's picked up one of the designs on the edge of the pile and is looking at it and a few other ones. He seems to be pretty interested in them, considering he wasn't dashing off at the sight of the next shiny thing in their immediate vicinity riiiiings]

So someone snatched your stash? Whaa? It's not like spraypaint is hard to find either... [cheeky grin] Unless you were planning on tagging some places once you were done with the design phase...?

[SAHNIC HEROOOOOOOES, SAHNIC HEROOOOOOOOOES]

[Beat fixes a deadpan stare on the blue-haired kid. Come on, man, get with the program.]

What else am I gonna do with them?

[greaterspeed]

[he shrugs]

I don't know, post them online and get internet fame and glory? [grins] What? Sounds like something people would do! Not everyone's a go-getter, y'know.

[he goes back to flipping through the papers on the table] Course some people will probably recolour it for themselves and then slap a watermark on it, but eh, internet. So you gonna go get some more spray paint first or what?

[skullphones]

Pshh. Just putting them online is no fun. There's no danger in it. Throwing a tag up on the walls and then bolting before the cops get you, that's fun.

[Maybe not for Mr. Lightspeed over here, but some of us still have to work for our clean getaway.]

Yeah, 'cept I gotta go into the city to get some. They got smart and made it near-impossible to find any around here since I left.

[greaterspeed]

[he points to Beat with a grin] Now that! That sounds like a party. Clearly you've got vision.

[yeah well, he probably got thrown in here after the cops finally caught him. Maybe. You can have all the speed in the world; can't help if you accidentally run into a dead end]

... Oh! So you're the guy the whole 'no spray paint' rule is in place for. Man, what a waste too. These would look way past cool on the walls 'round here... [think think] Saaaaay... If I went and got some for you, mind if I tag along?

[is that pun intentional? It was probably punintentional]
