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.

He doesn't care one way or the other, he simply lifts his hand in polite refusal. His voice is soft and smooth, melodic and clear, the music teacher, robotics engineer and stealth trainer isn't without his reasons.]
No, thank you. Your generous offer is best served with those that will take it more graciously than I. However, they are your students as well.
[action]
[He was about to plop the bottle down onto one of the lounge's tables, but now he slides it back under his arm instead. It rests against him when he takes up a chair.]
Me, I haven't seen the inside of a classroom here yet. Can't say I know much about the kids who'll be in'em, either, except that Xavier scraped them all together.
So, I think I'll wait a while on calling them "mine," too. If that won't start things off on the wrong foot between us.
[action]
[Lee is still watching him carefully and even though he hasn't outright said it, he's suspicious of this new teacher. His words scream bigot.]
Regardless of your reasons for being here, until I understand fully your intentions, you and I will be at odds. Your history with us has been long standing and not for the better until recently. Some call it turning over a new leaf. I hope that is true in your case.
[He lowers his chin, silver eyes locked on Al, he's not taking any chances with giving any false pretenses. He wants to make it clear that he's keeping a close watch on Al.]
[action]
[Al's brow raises slowly. He briefly entertains an unconvincing smile, then decides even that's not worth the effort.]
Don't think for a second that my leaves are any fucking different than they've ever been.
That said, you want to burn your time trying to ferret out dark intentions that your head-reader Xavier hasn't been able to, you go the fuck ahead. My delicate feelings'll survive your staring and not having a drink on me.
[action]
Lee isn't about to start a fight so he instead smiles congenially with a plaintive nod.]
I have no intentions of doing so. What agreement you and the Professor have come up with is between the two of you.
[He stepped forward slowly and leaned over one of the chairs.]
However, I am not so easily convinced. You can keep your drinks.
[action]
[Al stares him down for a moment longer before turning back around. He moves the bottle - a Japanese whisky - up to the tabletop at last before leaning back.]
Guess I'll have to find someone else to get the tour from.
[action]
I'll leave you to it. Another time.
[Lee gives a small bow at his waist that's very straight-laced and indicates his mistrust before he smoothly turns and walks away. Still, his temper is in check, he removes himself from the area before something happens that he may come to regret later.]
