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.

Oh that was the best power, the best power. Her eyes widened as she took in his transformation. Ears! Whiskers! Whiskers of all things!

Thoroughly distracted from her perdicament, panic the cat disappeared, fading out of existence much the way it came in. Loneliness still stuck around, sniffing at the offered food, meowing--she thinks-- but unable to actually eat it.

Her hands fly to sign--but then she remembers she's not at home anymore, people don't just know how to do it.

So she scribbles on a piece of paper.

'It can't eat. It's not real, just mind things. Some are more real than others, try to pet it!!!'

For all they act and look real, she has had mixed result with the touching part of things.

Liir was as yet still unaware he'd let his power slip out and puzzled at her apparent interest in him, as he thought himself quite boring, with some justification.

He hesitantly reached out and tried to scritch the psychic projection cat, or whatever it was, behind its ears. That her projections would take the form of cats actually made sense to him, given what he'd seen of Meulin from being her neighbor in class.

[hearmyfeels]

It feels real, solid, for about 2 seconds before the projection slips and goes all non-corporeal. The cat itself seems to waver a bit as well, going see through for a moment before flashing back to normal. She scribbles down another note, sliding it over to him so he can see. It's starting to get a little more embellished, complete with cat faces.

'ヽ(=^・ω・^=)ノCute right??? They aren't really cute when they show up, because it means im not feeling my best (= TェT =) but they're a nice comfort when im alone.

Not so much in class tho.'

She gives a sneaky glance towards the front of the class. So far so good.

Cat, not-cat then cat again. How curious. Also curious, why people continually reveal their feelings to him. It must be the curse of being a quiet person. Or perhaps Meulin doesn't mind being vulnerable that way. He can't imagine that.

He scribbles his own note down and passes it to her.

"Yes."

Then his number, to text to.

[hearmyfeels]

Oh, his number! She pulls out her phone, quickly tapping her number into her phone. Once again glancing up front to their teacher, she ducks her head a little and taps out a message with rapid movements. She's obviously far more used to typing than writing out longhand.

'(^・ω・^) Aha! What do you want your name to be in my phone? Quiet Cat Guy? Your face is a cat by the way! Do you do that all the time or just when you see a cat? Is that your mutant power?'

It's so much easier to communicate with her phone. At some point during this exchange the cat in question started wavering back and forth between solidness and not quite.

[friendofdorothy]

There is a moment where his eyes go wide and he blushes...green? Then he types out a reply, agonizingly slow. The only reason he's not using a flip phone, and thus making it even slower, is that the school provides him with a smartphone. Meulin certainly is a lot faster. He can barely follow the speed of her thumbs.

"Liir Ko. I can imitate the physical traits of any animals I have encountered. And occasionally communicate with them. But sometimes that happens. How embarrassing. Sorry."

What the hell is he apologizing for? Well, he's just the type that is in a continual state of apology for being. To distract himself from that, he watches the cat as it seems to illustrate Schroedinger's famous thought experiment all on its own.
