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. We also encourage you to check out the "!!event" tag on the IC comms to brush up on the story so far.

[She shrugs, tilting her head the right.] I guess. But sometimes there's no other way. Kill or be killed, that kinda shit.

I like to believe that there are always other options.

Maybe but they ain't always simple.

[he gives her this look that basically says you're speaking from experience, aren't you, which means he's also thinking the exact same thing]

Sometimes you just need to survive, yeah?
wickedwe8weweave: (♏ I've got a one-way ticket to destiny)

[personal profile] wickedwe8weweave 2012-11-11 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[She side glaces at him before giving a nod.]

Yeah, anything to survive.

[halfhearted smile]

Hopefully things will be easier here.
wickedwe8weweave: (♏ Yeah I'm gonna let it slide)

[personal profile] wickedwe8weweave 2012-11-11 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
For the most part they are.

[personal profile] loyalservant 2012-11-11 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
For the most part? What's harder?

[he gives her a grin, thinking that she's going to say dealing with people like him]
wickedwe8weweave: (♏ I know I won't be leaving here with yo)

[personal profile] wickedwe8weweave 2012-11-11 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
You think correctly. Plus school work, it blows. And teachers.
loyalservant: (uhh what)

[personal profile] loyalservant 2012-11-11 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Must be difficult being surrounded by people like me. [he nods wisely] I don't mind school work or teachers though.

[schools and students on the other hand.... let's just say he's thinking about how he was bullied in the past]
wickedwe8weweave: (♏ Yeah I'm gonna let it slide)

[Vriska never did school before her arrival at the Institute so it's been a change for her.]

Lucky you.

I've had a few drop my class, so talk to your counselor and we can work something out.

-Well that blush on his cheeks definitely wasn't from the steam.-

Ah, it's... nice to meet you, Hina. -And hopefully this time he won't faceplant in the creek.-

School isn't too bad if you don't stand out for the wrong reasons.
wickedwe8weweave: (♏ Yeah I'm gonna let it slide)

[personal profile] wickedwe8weweave 2012-11-12 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs.] I've been here five years, I don't worry much about standing out in the wrong way.

Leo, of...the world. [Bastet laughs and shrugs] I can claim this as home but I've been most places. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Karaya though.

Likewise! I didn't realise anyone else was out here; sorry about that.

[ It might be a somewhat boyish looking girl, or it's an effeminate boy, it's hard to tell and in any case it's hardly what matters at present.

What does matter is the fact that he/she is singing opera whilst standing on one of the cafeteria tables.

[Well, that is just beautiful. Random acts of opera can never be a bad thing, so he stops and listens, looking positively enchanted. And when she appears to be finished, he applauds enthusiastically.]

That was beautiful. Who are you, and where have you been all my life, hmm~?

[ She leaps down from the table and transforms her landing into a gallant bow, catching one of his hands to kiss it. ]

With all the wrong people, obviously.

[ You can't blame her, Fai is pretty and she does have a bit of a thing for blondes.

Her English is good but the French accent is still obvious.

Julie d'Aubigny. And who might you be?

[Oh lord, the stranger has an accent on top of the opera voice, and just kissed his hand, allow him to gently swoon. Except he won't, but he'll kiss her hand in stead and grin.]

Fai Flourite, and I am very glad to have finally encountered my saviour in that case. Will you sweep me away from this drab everyday existence, Julie?

[personal profile] mllemaupin 2012-11-14 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Too bad, she would have enjoyed catching him. But the kiss is nice too. ]

I would consider it an honor and a privilege. Are you aware that the people here have no idea how to make coffee?

[ No, it is not an abrupt change of subject, it is in fact a very relevant question. Drab coffee makes drab everyday existence even more drab. ]
comparative_insanity: (Or it's real but it ain't exactly there)

[personal profile] comparative_insanity 2012-11-14 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[That just makes him laugh, because personally he find that to be a perfectly logical leap.]

So my brother keeps telling me. In very expressive Italian, usually while gesturing in the most offended manner possible at whatever coffee it is that has irked him in the first place. Personally I am not allowed to drink coffee. It makes me jittery.

[personal profile] mllemaupin 2012-11-14 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Does your brother look anything like you?

[ Another perfectly relevant question that has everything to do with the subject at hand. ]
