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.

Text; Yes. Good.

I'll put in the suggestion box. Maybe they'll give us points for cultural diversity.

Culture?

[He knows a couple of definitions of that word, but from where he stands nothing really covers things like that.]

[littlerabbit]

Yeah? Caramelldanses comes from [ ...from? ] some foreign country, right?

[scares]

Not "culture", though.

["Some foreign country" confuses him for a moment until he realizes that, yeah, someone who doesn't know languages besides English and Spanish would probably be unable to place it. ...Or at least he assumes that she would only know those. That are the ones that Americans speak, right?]

[ Actually, in her case it's just english. She doesn't pay attention in spanish class. ]

Different countries have different cultures. That's why they call it multiculturalism.

Not everything from a country is culture.

[...actually now he wonders if that means that she would call McD's culture.]

[littlerabbit]

No but it's still a part of it. Like, I don't know, baseball and apple pie.

[scares]

Americans don't have apple pie?

text

[littlerabbit]

Of course we do, it's a stereotypical part of our culture. Together with baseball, oppressing the natives and the right to carry guns.

[ That last bit is a joke. Kinda. ]

[scares]

Is that so?

[Which in this case means: I read this and processed it and it makes no sense to me. Or at least most of it.]

You don't think so?
