Hello, True Believers!

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!

AND REMEMBER, RESERVES OPEN JUNE 3RD!

Research is important!

Yes, very cute. They're good dogs, very well-behaved!

[It doesn't hurt that Ivan's power affects them somewhat as well.]

I had to leave them home because of the laws, but I'll see them again when I visit. I hope they don't miss me too much.

No, it is my pleasure! A graduation and a wedding, these things only come once in your life. So, then I will!

[Sorry, Feliks, you're friends now! And Ivan being Ivan and Russian and rich, he will be sure that Feliks receives a generous cash gift. And maybe some lovely Russian porcelain. That won't be awkward at all!]

[niepokonany]

I guess two dogs are probably a little much for a dorm room, huh? I know some people keep pets around here, though! Like, this is Mokona...

[He finds a picture of the (rather smaller) dog on his phone, displaying it.]

And yeah, I guess those are both pretty good excuses for a present! You'll just have to let me get you something cool when you graduate, then.

[That's going to be incredibly awkward. More so because Feliks is awkward at the best of times.]

[truba]

Yes, I could bring them, they have their vaccinations, but I have a roommate, and the room is small. I do not think it will be allowed.

[Not that he wouldn't do it, but he's being polite and following the rules of his host country. And importing and exporting the dogs back and forth will probably make them unhappy. He looks at the dog on Feliks' phone, leaning in again.]

Mokona! Very cute, also! This is your dog? Maybe I could get another dog?

[A little, cute one. He likes dogs.]

You can get me something! I like presents. I am sure you will like yours.

[Since it's going to be a lot of money, and who doesn't like that? It's present enough for Ivan for Feliks to suggest that they will still be friends by then. He beams.]

[niepokonany]

Yeah, maybe you could! I know Feli used to keep a bunny around, it was way cute.

Mokona's not mine, though, she's Yuui's? My brother-in-law's. We babysit sometimes, though!

And good call, I give totally sweet presents.

[truba]

A bunny?

[That's another excellent idea. He wants a bunny.]

So many good pets to have, it is hard to decide.

You are good brothers, then! Do you have a pet, Feliks?

I meant you would like the one I will give you! But I am sure you will give me a good present. You will have years to think of it. Probably I will not believe how good it is, it will be so good.

[Obviously, that's what's going to happen.]

[niepokonany]

[He shakes his head.]

No, we don't have any pets. I keep pushing for a pony, but it's a no-go so far. Lame, right? I might have to settle for something a little smaller. Maybe.

[He doesn't really give up when his mind's set on something, though.]

And yeah, I'm sure they'll both be awesome!

[truba]

You should have a pet! Ah, you want a pony?

[Imagine if Ivan got Feliks a pony as a present. Because now he wants to get him one.]

Why should you not have one, if you want one? It could be a small pony!

They will be. Awesome.

[Definitely.]

[niepokonany]

I mean, if someone's gonna get a pony, it should totally be big enough to ride on, but I'm not that big, right?

[...Not that he's thought about what kind of pony would be ideal for him, or anything.]

[truba]

Yes, you're very small, my friend! Me, I would need a much bigger horse.

[He laughs.]

For the best ride, maybe it should be a larger pony, not a very small one. Medium.

[niepokonany]

Right, like a kind of average-ish pony!
