( the test drive meme )

This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before the game opens, 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.

you can always bring her into the test drive and see how it feels? (:

[lastplaceigo]

Oh no, no... I wouldn't want to confuse you or anything.

True enough, but that'd require picking 15 icons out of my 80+ making a new journal >.<;

[black_lily]

I'm not going to be confused!

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

A healthy assumption. For now, that is what you'll be doing, especially during scene transitions.

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

... I already gave it away.

[green_eyed]

Reluctantly, she allowed it. But there was still a clear amount of tension in her, especially in the way she extended her hand. The thumb, of course, was probably going to bruise pretty badly.

yeah, picking icons is always the hard part. D:

[lastplaceigo]

Are you sure? I mean, you couldn't even do the multiplication...

[lastplaceigo]

...Oh.

That's dumb.

I'll think about it for next app cycle. Don't want to overload myself @_@

[black_lily]

I was never taught multiplication before, but now obviously I can do it!

[Okay, there would be more complicated problems with multiplication, but she didn't know that.]

true that!

[lastplaceigo]

What's 212x10?

[black_lily]

What...?

...

[Give her a moment to think about it. She's trying to add it up in her head. If only she knew she could just add a 0 at the end of 212...]

[sogyo_no_kotowari]

Now now, don't let your hopes sink. Just because you're not a lead doesn't mean you can't steal the show.

[lastplaceigo]

[Margot will tell her that little trick later, of course, but right now she's going to bask in this.]

I'm waiting!~

[black_lily]

B-be quiet!

[She's not giving up! She's getting there... she thinks...]

[lastplaceigo]

[grumblegrumble] Fine, fine. I'll take... whatever is left, I guess.

[lastplaceigo]

[She gives her two seconds of silence before humming the Jeopardy theme with a huge grin plastered on her face.]

[black_lily]

I-I said be silent!

[A-almost there... maybe...? Wait, no, she forgot to add that bit, does she have to start over...?]

[rider_pictures]

"Yeah that's going to bruise. Here." He reached into his backpack and pulled out a chemical compress, breaking the small package. "Hold this to it, and use this as well to keep the swelling down." And he also offered a small package of ointment too.

Inside his pack, she might be able to glimpse something odd -- a cellphone and a belt of a very distinct model nestled deep inside it.

[lastplaceigo]

...

...........


.................

[And then she laughs.]

Okay, okay. I just can't. I'm tutoring you for sure.

[black_lily]

Y-you...!

[Maybe it clicked, or maybe she's just guessing, but-]

It's... it's 2120?! [But she really sounds like she's guessing rather than having figured it out...]

[lastplaceigo]

...Yeah, nice guess. Just don't forget to show your work.

[black_lily]

But I can't show what's in my head!

...

And it wasn't a guess! [It totally was]

[lastplaceigo]

Then explain it to me like I'm five.

[black_lily]

What? What does that have to do with anything?!

[lastplaceigo]

Because I want to know that you understood it. So explain to me how you got to that answer.

[black_lily]

That...

...

[Her poor pride. She won't get any tutoring if she acts like she knows everything... but her pride if she admits to guessing. Wait, she doesn't need to admit to guessing, right?]

A-anyway, I will allow you to tutor me.

[There! Pride intact! Mostly...]
