This is for anyone wanting to test out their characters in the setting before applying, and to see if things "click". 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 takes the sound as yet another bird, though one that she hadn't heard before. Nonetheless, her attention remains on the leaves and the sky, interrupted at first by a passing insect... then a sound.

The moment she hears it, her body tenses a little, as she turns her head to face it. The sight of the strange, birdlike boy does not alarm her, but she eyes him carefully nonetheless.]

[Oh, no. She spotted him. The boy really doesn't want to talk to anyone right now despite the fact that she's in his spot. Little does he know that it's not really -his- spot.

He reluctantly approaches the odd girl while keeping a good distance away from her.]

Pardon me, but I usually sit here.

[She watches his movements - careful, hesitant... he's not looking for a fight. He seems interested less in her, and more in where she is. Is she not supposed to be here? No, he doesn't seem to be admonishing her.

Eyes still on him, she shifts on the bench, moving a bit over to one side. She doesn't look to be leaving, at least not without some sort of understandable command.]

Right.

[Venom sighs and notices a tree nearby. Instead of possibly sharing the bench with her, he crouches down. He takes off with a powerful wing flap, landing comfortably on a branch.]

[As he flies to the branch, Yvette can't help but stare in awe, her mouth slightly agape at the sight. It was certainly prettier than any of the usual birds that flew over the grounds. Even after he's landed, she watches, entranced by him.]

[Venom tries to inch further into the tree's shade, wanting to escape the staring. He hates being stared at, and hiding himself behind a book isn't going to help.]

Please stop. I'm not going to bother you.
