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

[She narrows her eye and stares at him for a few moments.] Not a very good job!

So you think I'm fun?

A little.

[bright smile!]

I've won you over.

I only said a little. [She holds up a hand and holds her thumb and forefinger barely apart.]

You're lying, it's at least this much. [he holds his thumb and forefinger a good two inches apart]

[She shakes her head as she reaches over and attempts to force his fingers closer together.]

[he laughs as he tries to get his hands out of her reach]

You won't lessen this friendship.

[She tries a few more times before stopping.]

Nuuhuh! It's not a friendship it's a partnership.

Partnership, friendship, it's the same thing.

How is it the same thing?

You keep me around and enjoy my company.

I'm not sure that's always true for partnerships.

Maybe you've been i the wrong kind of partnerships then.

[She gives a lazy shrug.] Or maybe you have.

Nah, I'm never wrong.

[except when he is, and he's usually told about those times in great detail. he's not exactly sure why he's friends with Arthur]

And delusional.

Remind me never to introduce you to Arthur or Morgana.

[then again, Morgana would probably love her and they would terrorize everyone together, and if Arthur was here he'd have bigger things to worry about than him and Vriska deciding he's an idiot. he flinches a bit at the thought]

[She doesn't bother to ask why since his mind tells her almost immediately. She laughs and shakes her head.] I think everyone's an idiot until proven otherwise. You, you aren't an idiot.

[he's genuinely startled by that] Well you're the first to think so.

It's all there in your head. Which, by the way, you really need to work on your defense. Plus I don't think an idiot would figure me out so quickly.

I'm a good judge of people is all. [he dismisses her claim of his intelligence, even if he is rather smart (remember that medical knowledge he ran through earlier? idiots don't know things like that)]

Is my mind really that easy to read?

I've had little difficulty this whole time. It might be because you lack defense or it might be because you're relax and letting me in. Either way it's not safe.

Eh, I don't think you can do much with what you've learned about me during this conversation. I'm not worried.

[maybe he should be, but he feels like they've connected and he can trust her]

That's only because it's the surface stuff I've been nabbing. But if that's as easy to grab as it's been the stuff below it likely isn't that hard to get into either. And I'm not the only telepath around.
