( 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! Feel free to consult the institute tour and dorm guide for setting info. We also encourage you to check out the "!!event" tag on the IC comms to brush up on the story so far.

Found the problem, it's in these lines: (a-b)(a+b) = b(a-b) a+b = b Since it was already stated that a=b, that means (a-b) = 0. This means you can't factor out (a-b) like that; involves division by zero. Got anything harder?

Hello James.

I'm Makoto.

Is there something you need to know about this school?

[And here Makoto thought she could get some downtime by reading a book inside of her room.

I guess that's not going to happen now, is it?]

Can I help you?

For Midori? A bit of both. The relaxed atmosphere is relaxing, which is probably the point behind it to begin with, but sometimes it feels just a little too relaxed, and the music is somewhat distracting. That she isn't much of an art person doesn't really help matters, but she'd needed to fill some extra time somehow and this class had appeared to be the easiest solution.

Whenever Reki walks by or one of the other students tries to sneak a look at her work, all of the light appears to escape from the canvas, masking Midori's project in a sheet of black to prevent it from being seen until she's actually ready to show what she's got.

Which admittedly isn't actually that much. Again, not much of an art person.

Nice to meet you, Makoto. There are probably a lot of things that I should know about it. Is there any rules against using our abilities?

Reki was sorely tempted to blow smoke at Ran, but didn't want to chance her actually having a coughing fit. "Great, i'm getting a health lecture from a pokemon. Didn't I see you eating grilled eels the other day? Jesus, you wanna talk about dirtying your mouth..." Reki was, of course, well aware that kitsune traditionally had nine tails and that was where pokemon had gotten it but wanted to get Ran's goat at least a little.

"Let's see...Hakurei keeps falling asleep and when he's awake keeps asking me how art is supposed to help him get rich. That kid's like a tiny Tony Robbins. Mizuhashi lurks in the corner and practically has a spasm whenever anyone paints better than her. Hitsugaya paints and draws like a robot. It's like, Is this visual representation acceptable, human teacher? Beat actually puts some effort into it, mainly because I know he's out tagging on the town. Which is the sort of thing teachers are supposed to stop, but hey, at least he's making something. Cocteau offered to be the class's nude model. Egbert actually does some pretty good fanart for crappy 80s movies. I'm thinking of getting them made into t-shirts. Margatroid keeps bringing her dolls with her to class and it's creeping me out. Hoshiguma has punched through more canvasses than I can count."

Whoops. That had just come tumbling out.

That would depend on how your abilities work. You can't use them to cheat on academic tests or endanger other classmates. You're expected to keep them under control as much as possible.

That sounds reasonable. Is there a curfew or anything here?

Reki catches a glimpse of Midori's painting from the side. Yet when she walks towards it to take a look, it blackens again, like a laptop with a privacy screen. What the hell.

"What are you doing." Sassy grey haibane.

"It's not ready yet." A simple enough answer. "I don't want anyone seeing it until it's done." Using her photokinesis to prevent having an unwanted audience? You bet.

She would have preferred a seat over by one of the corners of the room to reduce the need to do something like that, but the seat she had now was one of the last ones available as the rest were already taken.

Around 9pm. If you wish to stay out of trouble, don't be out long after dark.

I've received a small plastic spinning top with a card that read, "Same thing, right?"

I, for one, would be simply ecstatic if someone asked me what anything Jewish meant. They obviously need the education.

9pm? That's pretty early, isn't? There anything else you think I should know?

[network; text]
I figured it's about time I confessed to this. You know how some students were going on about seeing ghosts a little over a month ago? Those weren't really ghosts, those were just me playing around with my flashlight and drawing some shapes with it. I had to keep myself busy somehow. That and it seemed appropriate given that particular holiday. And hearing about the reactions was pretty funny, I'll admit. So, you know, in case anyone's still wondering what that was about. Yeah. My fault. Sorry? Can we just say I was practicing?

Very good, as usual, Midori-san, but you'll have to wait until class for more. That was just a little teaser.

"Ara, ara... It sounds eventful." And hilarious. Which just makes Reki being so mopey up here by herself that much more suspect. "I'm mostly getting my kicks teasing my classes with trick equations. Old habits die hard, and whatnot."

She let out another little sigh, tails swaying a bit. Couldn't keep avoiding the point forever... They didn't have all night. "But... are you alright? You seemed to be in poor spirits before I showed up. You know if you need to talk about anything, I've got ears to spare."

Reki raised an eyebrow, but made no objection. At least she was participating.

"You got it." She could call attention to her and humiliate her, but that wouldn't be what a good Haibane did.

She came back when the class was over.

Well, darn. I was kind of wondering how much extra credit I'd be able to get on this one, Ran-sensei.

[Yes, she's joking.]

Do you mean class tomorrow or sometime next week, though? [She doesn't dislike the class, else she would have been actively giving Ran trouble, which she's not. But, she'll still make it clear that she'd like to get things done as soon as would be reasonable.]

While the other students filed out of the room, Midori remained in her seat. She didn't have any classes immediately after this one, and she normally used the spare time to pick something up in the cafeteria, but this was the best chance to show what she had done.

So, when Reki returned this time, the canvas was not masked in the same way it had been multiple times before earlier in the class. The image that now sat on it wasn't particularly bad, but it wasn't anything really mind-blowing either. It was a simple image of what looked to be a school's auditorium, which itself was done well enough, though the little figures meant to represent the kids on the stage could probably use a little work. The interesting part of the image, however, was the seemingly-random circles of blue, white, and yellow that were laid out on top of everything else.

Before anything could be said, Midori shrugged and spoke up. "Painting isn't really something I like, but since it's part of the course, I can't really argue against doing it." Considering she chose to take the class.

Just wait for her to figure out how this class ties into one of the possible uses for her power. She might enjoy it a bit more then.

"Of course you would, Kitsune."

Caught. How to play it off? She wouldn't believe her if she just pretended everything was fine. Well a better lie had a kernel of truth in it, after all.

"It's nothing. The moon just reminded me of an old boyfriend. He was kindof an idiot but sometimes I still miss him."

The ends of her wings blackened almost imperceptibly, like Pinocchio's nose.

[Network ; Video]

[When the feed turns on, the people watching will be greeted by a rather pale-looking young woman with an obvious fondness for black clothing. She gives a short but friendly wave and a bright smile as greeting, before returning her expression to a more relaxed state.]

Say...has anyone ever noticed that this academy is lacking in terms of extracurricular activities? I don't mean physical activities, as we have a good sum of those...rather, I'm talking about activities that don't involve so much physical effort.

I for one would love to see some clubs rise up. A drama club, a chess club, perhaps even...a poker club? Of course, we wouldn't gamble anything, it could just be for fun!

[No sound comes out of the goth's mouth for a few seconds...and then she closes her eyes and lets out a soft giggle.]

It's just a thought, though admittedly one I can't seem to get out of my head. Would anyone else bet interested in setting up some clubs to brighten up our days? Surely I'm not the only one who thinks things have gotten slightly...dull around here.

[Celes gives the camera a final smile, before turning it off and cutting the feed.]

[Prose 1]

As stated in her post to the network, Celes really does not like physical activity all that much. She would much rather work her mind than work her body any day of the week. However...she doesn't mind exploring. She's only been her for a couple of days, so she hasn't really seen the entirety of the school just yet. However, she is making an effort to change all that by roaming around the school. Most likely you can find her walking down the corridors, curiously looking around.

This is indeed after the club network post she made, so you can always speak to her about that in person if you prefer it that way.

[Prose 2]

Classes have ended a few hours ago and the gambler had no homework what-so-ever. As such, she decided to go hang out at one of her favorite spots, the library! ...it beat being bored in her room, okay? Besides, they had sets of chess and checkers there and the librarian let her play cards so long as she didn't bet anything.

Casually, Celes strolled into the room at about three o'clock in the afternoon. After scanning the library for a few seconds, she takes a seat closest to the shelf with all the game sets and pulls out a deck of cards from her purse, placing it on the table. It's very obvious she's rather bored, as she performs a series of elaborate (but rather simple when you know them) card tricks with her deck. That is...until your character walks by. She'll offer them a bright smile, asking them ever so politely: "Hello there, fancy a game?"

No.

Be cautious. The brotherhood attacked the school recently.

They did? I knew about the attack at the protest, but I didn't know that there had been another one.

One of these days you're going to have to figure out that kids don't really have rights, Princess. Not any that adults care about anyway.

Hey wanna-be, here's a useful tip for you. No one cares about your story, so stop trying to show off.
