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.

I'm from the Netherlands!

[Which is not a direct answer, but it's as close as he'll get unless it really is necessary for some reason - Hungarian, it should be, then there was Polish which he still speaks rather well, but then there were Dutch and now also a bit Turkish...]

I see... [Not much indication as far as language goes, but it's not a truly important matter...]

My name is Naoto. What's yours? [She's stuck here for who knows how long, she might as well try making friends!]

here we come to the part that I'm still unsure about.

You can call me Zag! That's not my real name, but nobody here can even pronounce my real name so Zag works. ...Or Gary. If Zag doesn't work-

[And then he laughs.] And you name sounds like a car brand!

Oh well, there's still time to decide!

A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Zag. [A slight tip of the hat.]

... it does?

Yeah, like "And here comes the new Naoto, you can get this model in five colours and with lots of extra features". It sounds like Honda, only longer.

And it's great to meet you, too! [The tip to the head is answered with a playful military salute, though the boy isn't standing straight for it at all.]
