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!

To be fair, I'm not using chemicals in a large enough amount to cause anything bigger. I've carefully used the mass-energy equivalence equation to make sure of that!

I do not find hurting oneself to be acceptable.

It's flattering that you care but some sacrifices have to be made in the name of progress.

[She clenched her jaw for a moment before responding.]

There is nothing to be flattered about. What kind of progress?

The progress of that inevitable thing that we all call grades. A horrifying thing, I know.

Your worries are about... your grades? [Asked the straight-A student.]

Always. Keeping straight 100%s is one of my goals.

A noble goal. And achievable without being reckless.

A little excitement in everyone's life should never be considered a bad thing.

We have too much of that here as it is.

When it becomes the norm, that means it's not exciting anymore.

Are you truly insisting on being a proverbial ray of sunshine?

Is it too much for you?

It will not cause me to wilt, if that is what you are asking.

Then there's no problem. You don't have to worry about a thing, friend. I'll do all the bright shining for you.

I am certain that your attitude will attract bullies.

With a stalwart companion like you, that shouldn't be a problem.

[...]

I do not recall agreeing to that.

[Never mind that she would if she witnessed it. It would be against her stupid code to just let it happen.]

With my awesome powers of insight, I've already divined what our future would be.

[No, she hasn't at all.]

And what does it say?

[Whether Saber was playing along or not remained to be seen.]

It says my powers are best used in pairs since I can't really do much for myself.

That does not--

[Saber paused then and frowned. If she couldn't do much for herself, then it was her duty to aid her. Even if she didn't like it. She then sighed.]

You can call me Saber. It is more fitting these days.

Palutena. That's my name. It's a pleasure.

I am sure you somehow manage to find pleasure in everything.

[It was an enviable trait.]

There's no sense in not trying. Giving it your best is how you get things done.
