( 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.

"Madame Fanny was on pointe by age nine, and invited to a proper company at sixteen. She's strict, a little crazy, and impossible for any other dance teacher to come close. Michelle who helps out at the studio was hand picked by ABT and gave that up to be a Showgirl in Las Vegas," Sasha explained, with the same tone someone would list off groceries, or boring historical facts she's been asked to repeat a million times, "So yeah, big difference between them and anything this freakshow has to offer."

"I couldn't wait to be out of Paradise, it had no movie theater, everyone knew everything about everyone else, TAFT POKI RIP would shut down any chance for something good to show up in town, and the only reason I stayed was my friends and my dancing, so yes. As soon as I get out of here I'm going to get on with my life and never look back."
