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.

Oh, cheer up. If that's how you introduce yourself to everyone, I'm gonna guess you don't have a lot of friends. [Says the girl that's friends with a robot.]

Plus I still got this. [She holds up her left hand and wiggles her fingers. It's pretty obvious her arm is fake.]

-Gaige, of course, is absolutely right. Which just makes Parsee MORE defensive.-

Don't pretend you know me, newbie.

[Oh, sure, ignore her arm. HOW DARE YOU.]

Man, people like you are easy to figure out. Look at how you're acting now!

Maybe I'm just having a shitty day.

Maybe you just have a shitty attitude.

Looks like I got ya with that one! [Insert one cocky-ass grin.]
green_eyed: ('djyou say something stupid again?)

[personal profile] green_eyed 2013-05-04 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah yeah, whatever.

... Neat arm. I'm jealous.

You know how much it sucks to lose an arm? I didn't like any of the crap they tried to fit me with so I made one myself. [One-handed.]

I don't know, but I doubt missing a limb would really have much impact on the amount of stares I get as is.

You're getting noticed if they stare at you. Least people don't try to avoid looking at you because you're missing a limb.

...

Unless you are missing one.

[personal profile] green_eyed 2013-05-05 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't like being noticed.

[personal profile] preshrunk_cyberpunk 2013-05-06 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
Then cut off an arm or a leg and everyone will pretend you don't exist so they don't feel awkward.

Pretty sure that'd piss some people off.
