TEST DRIVE MEME

1. Post a comment with the journal of a character you've considered apping. Make sure to put the name of the character/canon in the subject heading and post a comment as if they're already in the game! It can be a voice post, video or text post; it can either be an intro or a "been there a while" sort of deal. Anything goes!

2. Tag around with others - potential characters or characters who are already in the game - to see how well they fit.

3. Get a better idea of how well they'd work out in game, and app or not app accordingly!

4. Have fun! And we pretty much just mean "app" by that last one, fufufu~

[She gets the drawing but not the artist.]

Okay, starting over... You're obviously not human.

[alldevouringabomination]

Poyo?

[It appears that she is distressed by him. Why he doesn't quite get. After all, all of the other aliens he met never acted this way towards him when they first met.

He presses his face closer to the viewfeed.]

Gie.

[wayoutsidethebox]

[She's not upset so much as...confused. Very confused.]

Oh... so, not English. [But he hardly seems dangerous.] Me? I'm Skye. Thanks for the, uh, thanks for the picture.

[alldevouringabomination]

Ee!

[You are very welcome! Wing Kirby nods in response.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

So, do you happen to have a name?

[alldevouringabomination]

Kirby!

[Not a Pokémon, honest!]

[wayoutsidethebox]

Kirby. Okay, cool, we're getting somewhere. I'm Skye. I guess this is where we would do the handshake.

RP needs more silly and awkward moments.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby flaps his flaps like they were made of jello.

Turns out that conversation with an alien kid, even one that mostly understands other people's speech, can have awkward interpretations?]

[wayoutsidethebox]

No, not like... [She brings her arms out and reaches to shake one with the other.]

Am I really doing this? [Yes, she is.] It's like a greeting here. Shaking hands.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby mimics her.

Given that both of them are communicating through video, this looks quite silly.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

[This looks extremely silly. Still, teaching and learning and all.]

Yeah, only, normally we use one of my hands and one of yours. How do you guys say hello?

[alldevouringabomination]

Hiiiiii!

[You did ask.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

[She did. This earns a laugh, a good one.]

Fair enough. You know, you're pretty cute for a small, pink, round... thing. What are you guys called?

[alldevouringabomination]

...

[She just had to ask that.]

Uuu...

[He scratches the back of his head. GJ, Skye, now he's the lost one.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

Okay, next question... How much English do you speak?

[alldevouringabomination]

...

Eee.

Puuu.

[Beat]

Gfie yre ahoo.

[No comment.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

So, does any of that mean 'very little'? But you understand it?

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby dumbly nods. It sounds contradictory, doesn't it?]

[wayoutsidethebox]

[Kind of, yeah.]

Can you repeat what I say?

[alldevouringabomination]

Can uu peeaat whasay?

[...it's rhetorical.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

[Hm, she'd found out pretty early on that there was a built in translator to this thing, too. Did that make it a physical problem? An inability to form words?]

Guess it's not that important. You, uh, you like to draw. I guess.

[alldevouringabomination]

[This mun's headcanon is that Kirby just isn't old enough yet to form words.

Kirby nods! He draws a picture of himself drawing.

DRAWCEPTION]

[wayoutsidethebox]

So, little guy, what kind of world are you from?

[Even as she asks, she keeps an eye on the drawing pad.]

[alldevouringabomination]

[Yes, that's a planet.]

[wayoutsidethebox]

A star. With rings like Jupiter. You're from Starupiter. Nice.
