TEST DRIVE MEME - High School AU Musebox!

High School AU Musebox!

Test Drive Meme

Rules:
1. Post with your character. Label header with character name and canon/OC, and grade level or staff position.
2. AU them into the setting! They've always lived as a normal human, and are currently attending the high school. Or are just now attending.
3. Write a prompt for them with the AU so that others can tag you back.
4. Tag around to others, make new friends/tag with old ones, shenanigans, shipping, skipping classes, you name it! The only limitation is something not normal your imagination!
5. Have fun!

Keep in mind that:
- The principal is referred to as Principal Not-Appearing-In-This-School, because he's never around.
- This is a high school, not a college, so everyone's at school at the same time, there's usually 3-4 different lunch breaks depending on where you are in the school at lunch period.
- Threads in this test drive meme CAN be carried over as 'canon' to the musebox itself! So long as all parties involved are okay with this.
- Keep in mind the usual RP rules; IC /=/ OOC, no metagaming, no godmodding, be cool, treat your fellow players with respect.

Wow... that's really neat!

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...! It's a lot of fun, and we get to learn about all kinds of animals...

[twotailedgenius]

You three must be really good with animals, if you're taking care of all kinds...

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] W-Well, we do our best...but we really love animals, and enjoy taking care of them...

[twotailedgenius]

It's great that you've found something you love so much, too. I... I'm not quite as good with animals. [He rubs the back of his neck.]

[strengthinkindness]

I'm sure you could be...sometimes it just takes a bit of patience and some kindness...

[twotailedgenius]

Y-yeah... maybe... I guess I just need to be able to read animals better... I've gotten bit a lot when just trying to be nice... I've found lots of nicer animals too that like seeing me around the park and such... but some are just plain mean.

[strengthinkindness]

Oh, I'm sure they weren't...animals can seem that way, but there's always a reason for it...

[twotailedgenius]

I guess... I mean, I like most animals a lot too, but it still makes me a little uneasy, you know? Sometimes I wish it was a little easier to know not to pet an animal if they look like they want me to.

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...sometimes they can sense uneasiness...and if they feel there's a reason to be uneasy, then they'll get defensive...

[twotailedgenius]

That makes sense... so I need to be more confident, then?

[strengthinkindness]

[She nodded.] Mm...but you still have to let them know that you're not going to hurt them. They can also get uneasy if you come off too aggressive...

[twotailedgenius]

O-oh, no, I'd never try to come off too aggressive... I hope I wouldn't seem that way, anyway... so then, I just have to find a good mix of seeming gentle and confident...

... Um... w-would it be a lot to ask if... you came with me to the park one day and showed me? ... How you do so well with animals. Maybe... maybe I can do better with some help...

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...I wouldn't mind...I just hope I can help...

[twotailedgenius]

[He nods.] Thanks... any help at all is better than nothing, I'd say.

Oh, yeah... you heard about the school-wide dance coming up, right?

[strengthinkindness]

Oh...y-yes, I think so...

[twotailedgenius]

Were you planning on going?

[strengthinkindness]

Mm...my sisters and I all talked about going, I think...

[twotailedgenius]

[He nods.]

If you do... mind saving a dance for me? [He smiled a bit.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She blinked in surprise, then blushed as she glanced away.]

O-Oh...um...o-okay...

[twotailedgenius]

I-I mean, you don't have to... i-if you prefer not to dance, but... I-I'd like to dance with you once, I think...

[strengthinkindness]

M-Mm...I...I-I wouldn't mind...

I-I'm...not that good at dancing, though...

[twotailedgenius]

Hey, that's fine. I can dance pretty well. I can teach you a little at the dance, even. I'm sure you'll do great.

[strengthinkindness]

[She smiled shyly and nodded.] I-I'd like that...

[twotailedgenius]

[He nods a bit.] Then it's settled.

[He looks at his phone, and his eyes widen a little.] I hadn't even realized how late it was getting. I've gotta go... but hopefully I'll see you at the dance?
