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.

[Skaar nods in answer to Apollo's question before asking another of his own.]

Why are you a rabbit out here?

[He would've assumed the place would have plenty to eat so the students don't have to go foraging, but he could be wrong.]

[Apollo swallows the meat that's in his mouth and bites into the rabbit again, tearing off another piece.]

Cuz I was hungry and felt like something fresher 'an what's in the cafeteria.

[Said like it's completely normal to do something like this.]

[Well, that answer makes sense. When you're hungry, you get food. The fact that he chose to get it from someplace else is irrelevant.]

Oh. They don't mind?

[gotthescent]

Doesn't matter what they think. [A crunch as he bites through a bone.] Fresh meat's the best kinda food!

That's true...[Walking over, he sits down across from Apollo.]

[Apollo focuses on Skaar as he sits down.]

If you want some you gotta catch it yourself. I ain't sharing.

I didn't expect you to. If I wanted it, I'd have to take it. That's the way it's done.

[He lived by those Darwinian principles for several years before getting "civilized".]

[gotthescent]

Yeah, it is. Food tastes better when you have to work for it too.

[Civilization is overrated.]

Re: [Action]

[sonofhulk]

You appreciate it more when you have to work for it.

[It is....except for milkshakes.]

[gotthescent]

Always gotta appreciate food. Without it you die, so you gotta eat whenever you can.

[I guess that explains the oddly adorable set of pictures on his app then?]

Re: [Action]

[sonofhulk]

I was told I didn't have to do that anymore since food's no longer scarce. I'm not supposed to have to worry about whether or not I'll be able to eat later.

[Yes it does. XD]

[There's just the legs and butt of the rabbit left now.]

You always gotta make sure you eat. Never know when you won't be able to. Only reason anyone wouldn't eat whenever they can's cuz they've never been starving and don't know any better.
