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.

Kanji's a bit of an early riser himself, and since he'd arrived at the school he'd taken to walks around the campus, venturing out a little further each time. This morning, though, he stops short, distracted by the man practicing in the courtyard.

Tai chi, right? It was so different from Kanji's way of... well, doing just about anything outside his-- erm. Hobbies.

It's like something out of a movie. He wants to say something, but the combination of language barriers and really not wanting to break the guy's concentration keeps him shut up-- at least til he's done.

When Jackie has finished the form, he notices Kanji standing off to the side. He hadn't been expecting anyone to come by, but he smiled cordially enough and gave a wave of his hand.

"Good morning."
