( 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.

She was mildly startled at the sudden applause. She hadn't thought anyone else was in here. Huh. How had she missed that, anyway? Well, maybe the other girl had just come in.

"Yeah, I'm getting better at this distance. Getting it far enough isn't an issue; just need to work on my aim a bit."

Sango was a good shot, in general. Just not a perfect one; it wasn't anything she couldn't work on, and she of anyone didn't mind hard work.

"Did you just come in here? Sorry I didn't notice; I was a bit in the zone."

Kenzi focused on one of the balls and sent it back across the court where it settled back on the rack. "I was sleeping up here." she responded with a yawn.

She did the same with another ball as she stood and began to make her way down the bleachers. "The aim is always the hardest part." She squinted over at the far hoop and attempted to send one of the balls through it without actually guiding it through the hoop.

She missed by at least a foot.

Sango blinked. "You were sleeping in here?"

Why would anyone even try to sleep in the gym? It was a place that was bound to get noisy or crowded or both. She'd seen people having naps on the roof, or in the nearby woods, and she could at least see some sense in that. Her mind was having difficulty trying to compute this one.

She would have apologized for disturbing the girl, but she watched with interest as her powers were displayed. Sure, she missed by quite a margin, but that was still impressive, in Sango's mind.

"Oh, you're telekinetic? That's always seemed like such a useful power, to me."

Kenzi nodded as she brought the ball back to her. "Yeah. No one was around and I was attempting to study but then I kind of dozed off." Study? Yeah right. She had been watching some movie on her phone.

She squinted across the court and sent the ball flying again. This time it hit the backboard and bounced to the ground, causing her to scowl.

"It's pretty useful. What's your power?"

Sango picked up another ball, aiming a bit more carefully this time. And that care was so close to being rewarded when her shot hit the backboard and bounced out a few inches away from the hoop. Always just on the edge of getting it.

"Nothing flashy, honestly. Enhanced strength and endurance. Bit of an accelerated healing factor."

She'd never been one to wish that her power was something more visually impressive. Her ability could get the job done. What more did she need than that?

Well she was doing better than Kenzi. Without using her TK she couldn't get the ball to actually go in the hoop. That might be partially due to the fact her vision isn't that great.

"Definitely useful." Sure she could, seemingly, increase her strength and endurance but it's wasn't something natural. "Always wished I had healing. Can't tell you how many times that would have come in handy."

And partially due to the fact that Sango had been a star athlete since her childhood. Aiming from this great a distance was something new to get used to, but she had a good base to work with.

Her look softened into something more thoughtful at those words. For an advanced healing factor to be considered so handy . . . that had to be rough.

"Pretty dangerous where you came from?"

Kenzi gave a shrug as she sent a couple balls up into the air where they started doing figure eights. "You could say that."
