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.

[Ashley's been staring at the screen for several minutes now. She knows that she's expected to make public posts like everyone else here, but she doesn't like having to deal with others, so the majority of her network use so far has only been in private messages to her teachers, asking for clarifcation on various assignments and whatnot.

Today, however...she was pretty much told to make a post and actually talk to people; it didn't matter what topic she decided on, just that she had to go and say something. Apparently, her lack of socialization was starting to get worrisome for the faculty.

Sigh.]

I would have preferred ringing in the new year with my family, but no, I had to be stuck here instead. Whatever.

Does anyone here actually do that stupid resolution stuff? If so, what kind of outlandish goals did you set for yourselves this time?

And before you ask: no, I don't.

i dont think theyre so outlandish
in fact setting goals for yourself is pretty admirable
i only set very realistic ones because theres no reason to worry about them i think
things like that should come naturally!

my resolutions were to make new friends and hopefully to make better grades

Those actually make sense, so it depends on the person, I guess.

I have relatives that like setting stupid ones, and then they complain that they'll never be able to actually do them. Or maybe they do it specifically so they can complain. It wouldn't really surprise me, knowing how a few of them are. I don't know for sure though and I don't actually care enough to try to find out.
