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!

[...He instictively just looks really worried the moment Feliks looks grumpier. What did he do.]

...You're not really mad at me for not knowing this, are you...?

[niepokonany]

[Congratulations, Jack, you've unlocked Catty Mode!]

Not mad, no. Stunned, a little? Like, seriously.

[the_prodigal_son]

[He's not really sure what to think of this tbh.]

I kind of haven't been out of the.. house.. much. Mostly just been living in Kansas with someone who survived the Holocaust so we don't... talk about... the rest of the world... much.

[Let's be honest both he and Tenenbaum would much rather forget the rest of the world exists. People like Fontaine are out there.]

[niepokonany]

How do you know about that being a thing and not know about Poland existing?

[Also, is this how people feel when they talk to him about academic stuff he slept through because it was boring?]

[the_prodigal_son]

Because Tenenbaum talks about it a lot? I'm not sure what exactly happened there, I don't like the tone of voice she gets when she talks about it.

...She said Hitler invaded Poland, I figured it was a city or something.

[niepokonany]

Yeah, no.

It's like. Way bigger than a city.

[the_prodigal_son]

Oh.

[A long pause ensues.]

So are you completely Polish or... only half? I'm only half Russian so I think that's why I can't speak it...

[No Jack you don't gain languages genetically.]

[niepokonany]

Um, completely?

...Have you like, lived in Russia? And talked to people there?

[the_prodigal_son]

No. My father is Russian. But my mom's American. I don't, um... I don't exactly know either of them. Well. At all.

[niepokonany]

Ooookay. Well, if you didn't grow up in Russia, I mean, that kinda explains it, right?

[the_prodigal_son]

If growing up with it had anything to do with it I'd speak German and Chinese.

[niepokonany]

...I legit can't tell if you're being serious right now.

Like, really?

[the_prodigal_son]

Of course I'm being serious.

[This kid doesn't really stop being serious. Unless he sees something really cool.]

[niepokonany]

There's no way! You're totally messing with me!

[the_prodigal_son]

I'm not messing with you.

[A pause.]

...I might've gotten the smoking habit from Tenenbaum, though...
