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.

[network/video]

[Hello, everyone. There's a lady on the network looking a tiny bit reticent. She speaks.]

Io̧kwe. Eta...Eta in Kakyuu Lerooj Utṃaan. Kwo jela ke kajin Kinmo? Ijaje...

[She stops. She speaks in English, albeit haltingly.]

Hello and fuck you. I am Kakyuu. I talk to this and others hear. Is... this true?

[...Don't mind the "fuck you", everyone. She thinks it's a greeting. New Yorkers.]

[Varon would laugh if it didn't seem all that uncommon for foreigners to pick up on the swear words first. He rolled his eyes at the idea since he's had to flip off a driver or two on the way here. His own Australian accent is pretty evident.]

Nice bunch, yeah? If I didn't know any better, I'd say that euphemisms would be the language of choice in the States.

[If he wasn't slightly amused and a bit selfish, he might have helped her out a bit.]

[Nope, he's not about to teach English. He scoffs and shakes his head.]

Get a dictionary and figure it out.

...Oh.

[Well, she does know that word at least. Its a book. She could do that.]

Ara ara, where did you learn such a word?!

[personal profile] osmanthian 2012-12-05 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
The city. I lived in the city.

Well whoever taught you that was acceptable public language was very VERY wrong.
osmanthian: (princess//!!!)

[personal profile] osmanthian 2012-12-06 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Wrong...?! What is wrong about it?
princesstenko: (come closer)

[personal profile] princesstenko 2012-12-06 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's a foul term. Especially unfit for young women such as yourself.

...Oh...It is?

I did not know that....so many strange things.
princesstenko: (bell around her collar)

It is certainly not how a young lady should speak.

I'm going to refer you for extra tutoring with one of the English instructors. That should sort this out.
osmanthian: (kakyuu//speak on serious matters)

[personal profile] osmanthian 2012-12-07 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Extra...two touring?
princesstenko: (angels bring you in)
