( 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 hops over the back of the couch and lands neatly beside John.]

Wouldn't it be more fun to oh, I don't know, do real ghost hunting?

I guess, but I think any ghosts we'd find here would end up being students or something.

Oh, so you don't believe in the real thing? [She raises a brow and grins a bit.] Obviously you've never been the abandoned factory just outside town.

Huh? Of course I do! [aaaand all of his attention has now shifted to vriska.] What factory?

[She does her best to keep her her grin on the more natural side.] There's this old factory just outside town. No one really knows what was made there but the story is there was a fire that killed most of the workers back in the day. At that time majority of the workers were children and it's said their spirits still haunt the place, looking for the one responsible for setting the fire.

Over the years the factory has switched hands, some have tried to rebuild it and reopen it but every time they got close to opening their doors again weird things start happened and people start dieing. So now it's just standing there, empty. They say some nights you can heard the roar of a fire and screams.

Oh, wow. [he rests his chin in his hand, looking thoughtful.] That sounds like a case unfinished business! And not in a justice-seeking, Patrick Swayze sort of way.

[Vriska simply smiles and nods. She doesn't understand what he means but really doesn't want to listen to an explanation. Then again she doesn't really have to ask since he's thinking about it. She gets enough right there from his surface thoughts.]

Guess so. But they say that the owner of the place locked the kids in so they couldn't escape the fire.

Why would he do that?

[She shrugs.] Who knows.

[he frowns.] They sound like pretty vengeful spirits. I mean, I can't blame them, I would be pretty pissed too if some douchebag locked me in a burning building.

[Vriska grins and gives a little laugh.] Yeah, probably. So, what do you say to checking it out? [She'd have to let Juri in on this to see how bad they can scare John.]

Well, yeah, but we need to be prepared.

[She raises a brow, choosing not to look in his head to see what he could mean. She'd rather hear the ridiculous idea.]

Prepared? How so?

[in the most serious tone he can muster:]

Flour.

[She stares at him for a moment before she nearly falls off the couch in a fit of laughter.]

Woah, hey! What's so funny?

[Give her a few moments, she's going to need it.]

Flour? The hell we need that for?

It's a totally legit way to get ghost prints! [SIGH.] It's nothing Spengler-esque, but you can use it to figure out where the activity is mostly focused.

Sounds like a lot of work.

Not really, you just chuck it over the floor and leave it for a while.

And then what? Wait? Booooooooring.

Well unless you want to get possessed or some shit, yeah.

I think it'd take more than a little vengeful spirit to possess me.

Careful, the ones who say that in movies usually end up dead or crazy.

[She grins, showing a fang.] Don't you know, I'm already crazy.
