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.

[Kanji's not sure what's more surprising-- that this kid's speaking in a language he understands, or that he got a response at all.]

I ain't staring!! You just--- looked familiar, or whatever! A guy's allowed t'look!

[buzzkilldetective]

You were staring and it was making me uncomfortable.

[Don't mind her if she's a little snappish, she's just tired and has a headache.]

... Though, you do look rather familiar. I'm certain we haven't met, but... [You know, she'll just. Wander over that way so she can get a better look.]

[chairguillotine]

[Oh. Oh shit. Here they come. Kanji grips the handle on his suitcase a bit defensively, frowning hard.]

Y'see what I'm sayin', right? [Hey, Naoto, now would be a great time for those powers to kick in! Because guess who was on TV for beating up punks in his neighborhood?]

[buzzkilldetective]

[Yeah, the wheels in her head have indeed been turning! She remembers that program and the exact time it was showing.]

... You were shown on TV. You're... from Inaba, right?

[chairguillotine]

...You saw that, huh? Just for the record, that show's full a' shit.

[He mumbles, quietly embarrassed. Of all the things to be recognized for, even here..]

[buzzkilldetective]

I only had the television on for background noise that night to be entirely honest.

The only reason I really remember was... Well. [There's an uncomfortable pause.] Well, it's... [Cough.] The reason I'm here. Eidetic memory is part of my... mutation...

[chairguillotine]

[...Long, awkward pause. What the hell does 'eidetic' even mean?]

...Uh.

Mine's... um... stuff doesn't hurt me. I guess.

[buzzkilldetective]

... ... Err. I mean... I have an unnaturally outstanding memory... in a way. I can recall things that have happened and notice things that I might not have realized prior.

Superhuman durability? [Or something like that.]

[chairguillotine]

Huh! That's, uh... pretty impressive. ...Really impressive.

And yeah, sounds about right. [A short huff.] I wouldn't really call it super, though. Not when it gets ya sent halfway around the world to some snobby 'Institute' because they think y'might be dangerous...

[buzzkilldetective]

[Flatly.] It's not nearly as wonderful when it's coupled with enhanced senses.

If it is beyond the peak of what most people can deal with, I would indeed consider it superhuman. I'd certainly rather not be here myself but Grampa presented me with little choice in the matter.

[chairguillotine]

Just said it was impressive, that's all. [Grunt.]

...Man, this stinks. The hell are we doin' all the way in America, anyway?!

[He knows why, but dammit! He's frustrated!]
