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!

Oh, pfft. Come here.

[Toph gestures and heads for one of the store rooms scattered around the school.]

What kind? Regular because you have the touch of death, rubber, something else?

[realmenknitplushies]

[Sighing, here, as he hopes that's the worst of it.]

Long insulated ones. Guess they're some sorta rubber.

[Take them off to work on a thing one minute, find out they're gone the next...]

[fuckuimametalbender]

[Toph fumbles for the switch (for his sake) and walks along the shelves, feeling the boxes and what's inside. She finds the rubber ones and grabs a pair out.

They're hilariously small]

These big enough?

[realmenknitplushies]

Uh.

[Six foot tall student, very small gloves, not the ideal match. He looks at them, at his hands, and is forced to admit-]

...Probably not.

[fuckuimametalbender]

...get over here so I can feel your arms.

[Sigh being blind]

Or is that not safe?

[realmenknitplushies]

It'd probably shock ya. Dunno if it's really dangerous but... [Shrug.]

[fuckuimametalbender]

Right.

[She holds out the box]

Find a pair.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Eh, it's fine by him. Going a bit red in the face, but it's a minor issue for the moment. He carefully takes the box.

Digging around - well, these ones aren't perfect, but at least they fit...]

...Thanks.

[fuckuimametalbender]

Not a problem. Just remember, this is a school full of mutants with powers and not a lot of control. We have spares of every safety thing known to man and then some. Ask next time?

[realmenknitplushies]

[He scratches his head for a moment, looking the other way. Of course there'd be any number of spares. But having 'ask the teachers' be his first resort isn't something he's used to.]

Y-yeah. I will. I just kinda ... panicked for a bit.

[fuckuimametalbender]

Eh, it happens. Not like I didn't break a few things when I was here because someone pissed me off.

[She grins]

You in the combat class?

[realmenknitplushies]

[Kanji actually manages a relieved smile at that. A teacher admitting to trashing the place?]

Yeah, I am.

[fuckuimametalbender]

[Please, it's Toph.

She grins and offers her hand]

I'm your teacher, Toph Beifong. [Bender noses her knees] And that's Bender the guide dog.

[realmenknitplushies]

Oh! R-right... [Keep polite, keep calm... let's not wreck more impressions than he already has. Taking that hand for a shake, then.]

[fuckuimametalbender]

Which one are you? My reader doesn't work on the attendance and I haven't got a braille printer yet.

[realmenknitplushies]

[...Oh, right.]

'm Kanji Tatsumi. Uh, tenth grade.

[fuckuimametalbender]

And I'm guessing you have electric powers. Fun. Good thing we do this outside.

[realmenknitplushies]

[Nodding, and just to make sure-]

Yeah, that's right. And, uh, good.
