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.

"Totally not. More like an accidental illusionist," said with an added snerk, "I don't really mean to make people see what they do."
Here, she takes a small break so she can cough into her hand a bit - being outside for a long time is a little stressful on her lungs - but she's still smiling.
"You're just lucky you saw a cat. Coulda been way worse."

Well, that explained the confusion, plus how easily he had fallen for it. On a good day, Shindou could shield himself from weaker psychic probing if he knew to be on guard against it. Whatever kind of projection Sabitsuki gave off was a different story.
His brow raised slightly at the coughing, but he simply nodded.
"Some kind of psychic, then?" And, oh, right, he ought to remember his manners, now that scratches behind the ears were off the table as a greeting. "Ah, I'm Shindou Takuto. Did you just transfer here?"
no subject
After that, though, she continues - but not about her powers. Just a sly grin, and she speaks up again.
"So... you're a fan of music, huh? And classical, from what I'm guessing."
Said with just the slightest of snerks at the end. She's not trying to be mean, of course - just nosy. It's much easier to probe a person's mindscape than actually interrogate them.

Shindou was just about back on even-kilter, reaching out to give the girl's hand a light shake, when she smirked and dropped that tidbit about his music tastes. Without thinking, he tilted his head "yes" - but the rest of him was lighting up with concern again. He hadn't even felt her dipping into his thoughts. For that matter, he hadn't even been thinking about music!
"...Could you not do that?" Politely but still plainly a touch bothered. "I'm not great around psychics. With keeping them out and things like that."
no subject
She doesn't see the big deal, after all; not the kind for blackmail and all that.
"... You should come by my room some other time instead, then. I can't be out here too long or I start hacking up things I probably shouldn't, so it's not like I can stand around chatting you up...
As much as I'd like to."
This kid interests her, after all - such a weak mental barrier. Poor kid didn't even notice.

"Invasive" was a better word. "Hacking up things," however, pulled his attention away from that subject. He'd thought those coughs from before hadn't sounded like they came from a winter chill. That made it sound really serious...
"Oh. You should get inside, then." He glanced back towards the front of the building, where some of his fellow gym students could be seen jogging by on their own laps. "I need to get back to class, anyway. What room are you in?"
no subject
Having him around might be nice.
... Oh - though she definitely has to add --
"If you talk to a guy with crosses on his eyes though - you and me? Never met. Got it?"
All in all said pretty seriously. Shindou meeting Smile... probably definitely maybe won't go well. Perhaps.
