THE TEST DRIVE MEME

• Got a character you're thinking of reserving/apping next round? PUT THEM HERE! • Threads here can count as your third person sample! • Comment with your character's name and canon! • This is open to everyone! Also, test drivers can tag other test drivers. :) • Make up your own scenario or have them walk into all the doors or leave it blank for others to do it for you! Reserves are here, and open on February 23rd at 12:01AM CST. Application information (including the list of pending apps) is here, and they open on March 2nd at 12:01AM CST. OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, they walk out into the city to find aromatic flowers sprouting pretty much everywhere. Vines twist up the sides of buildings and creep across the streets, topped with enormous and colorful blossoms. Careful not to trip! Make sure to have fun, and as always, feel free to hit the mods or players up with any questions you might have! ♥

Stiles is in a good mood. In fact, he's in a great mood. He has a girlfriend, he's got his best friend here, his dad's here... it's all one big happy super powered family, and he's not the only one out of the magic loop this time. Look at him, being all useful. Stiles Stilinski is on top of the world.

Until he hears that voice that he'd know anywhere. It's not his mom's voice, but damn if it doesn't bring up a faded image of her before the real face pops into his head. No way. No freaking way. Oh my god, Scott was going to have a cow.

If he could find her. "Melissa? Mrs. McCall?" Looking around, looking around, looking ar-- oh, hey. There she is. "Hey, hey Melissa!"

Congratulations, mama McCall, you have one excited Stiles running your way. Ignore the dragon on his shoulder.

[mccallmeback]

A) they'll discuss using her first - oh hell, who even cares anymore. Where Scott's nation goes, so goes Stiles. It's a wonder Allison, Isaac and Lydia aren't here. (They probably are.)

B) Is that - no, no, that couldn't be a dragon because much like werewolves and kanimas were, dragons aren't real. One thing at a time.

"Stiles," she says as he comes up to her, a little taken aback by the excitement. (Not that it's not exciting to see her, she's an amazing woman - it's just... she practically sees Stiles every day.) Guess, it's time to acknowledge the dragon? "You realize just because I'm here doesn't mean I can feed you." But, there's a playful undercurrent. "At least not until I find my way... back." She gives a quick glance behind her.

"Stiles? Is that a dragon?"

[teenyoda]

In a minute, pseudomom, because you're getting a hug first. A huge one. Hugs. SQUISHES. Then he'll draw back and give her a looking over, making sure all's well with the mama of his bff. "Um, what? Oh, yeah, Hale. Don't worry, he doesn't get much bigger, so no eating or anything. When did you get here? Where are you staying? Have you been placed? Where's your bracelet? Does Scott know you're here yet? He lives with me and my dad, who's also here. My dad, that is. We're all here. One big household of McLinskis. Should I take you there?"

Stiles was in ramble mode, mostly because hey, no ADHD meds here and proxymom was here.

[mccallmeback]

That's a lot.

She's grateful for the hug. Stiles squeezes her - rambles on, confuses her and she picks out certain things she can answer. Not that she doesn't pinpoint one important thing. "Your dad's here?" It'll feel good not to be the only adult in the know.

Derek didn't count because he hung around with teenagers and Peter didn't count because he was a duplicitous ass. She knows he's why Scott is what he is. So, having a sensible adult here she can trust too, that they can trust, is a good thing.

"Wait, how -- you live together? The three of you. You guys moved quickly."

[teenyoda]

"Quickly? What? No, oh, aha. No, we've been here a while. Time's sort of this thing that's completely broken here. I've been here for months. Scott's been here over a year. Dad's been here a little while too, though he's sort of the newest recruit, so to speak."

She was taking it well, considering. But he didn't expect anything different.

[mccallmeback]

"Right. A year." This is when he pulled one over on his best friend's mom, is surrogate mom. Some group trick? A weird joke? Because Scott was just with her. Asking how won't help. How only makes her worry more. But, it sounds as if everyone is safe and that is what matters. No, that is what matters.

"I woke up in Sigyn house. The letter called me a healer." Technically, it told her she had the power of healing, but this is Melissa McCall. Isn't that her power every day?

[teenyoda]

"Yeah? Well great. That's always a good power and I don't think we have anyone in our little group with that. But, you know, nurse and all, kind of makes sense. Hey, you want to come back to our place? I mean, at least just to visit? I'm pretty sure my dad won't have a problem with you moving in, if you want, and I know Scott would be cool with it."

No... this wasn't Stiles totally pushing for a family home. Not at all.

[mccallmeback]

"Moving in?" Gosh, you work fast, Stiles. "How about, help me find Scott. Then we'll see about who's moving where." Because the narration decided this is before she's seen Scott.

[teenyoda]

"Yeah, yeah, totally. Um, I don't know where he'd be at right about now, but we can go check out his pet store." Yes, Mama, your son owned his own store, one where he sold furry things.

[mccallmeback]

"His pet store." Excuse her for repeating everything you say, Stiles. "Of course my son owns a pet store. Do you know if he's working today?" She walks in whatever direction Stiles does, keeping close. She's gathering information, taking intuitive leaps. Like Melissa McCall does, she takes things in stride. Because, when she has the information, then she can help. She needs the fact, just the facts (m'am) and sometimes, her own thoughts remind her of her age.

[teenyoda]

"Not really sure. It got kind of trashed and they've been building it back up, and, um, I might have been distracted lately and haven't been by. Plus he only just woke up from his gray nap, so..."

He was rambling on still, mostly because he wasn't really sure what to say or how to say it, but feeling like there was this weird little pocket of Beacon Hills starting to build itself up in the city.

[mccallmeback]

"Trashed? Trashed how? Is Scott okay?" And now, she'll stop because Stiles needs to give better, shorter, slower answers. "Stiles, What is a gray nap?" Give her something. Breathe. Maybe locate some of the ADHD medication you so clearly, well, need is harsh and she has seen worse.

She's seen him worse, too. Never leave him and her son alone on a Saturday afternoon with a kitchen full of microwavables. Ah, the early teenage years of Scott and Stiles.

[teenyoda]

Sorry, mamasita. No meds here. This was Stiles au natural. "What? Oh, yeah, no, that happened a while ago. We've just all been busy and pet shop rebuilding was sort of low on the list."

Oh, right, the gray nap. "You see the people around here? The ones that look like they're all non-colored and grayed out? They're kind of... why we're here, I guess. Well, that and supposedly 'saving the worlds of everyone'. But the bracelets they give you, they keep us from going all grayed out too, and Scott lost his. So he went gray and took a nap. Sometimes people go home for a bit and sometimes they just snooze. But he's fine. Seriously. Totally good."

your stiles bb <3

[mccallmeback]

"Stiles -" No, she'll get the how another time, maybe from Scott. Probably from Scott. She looks down at her own bracelet. "Scott misplaced the bracelet that keeps him from being a noir zombie." That sounds like her son. "Okay. Take me to Scott's pet store."

♥ You'd better bring her in

[teenyoda]

"Yes, ma'am." He gives her a salute that's half mimicked by the dragon on his shoulder, who gives her a squawk before settling down around Stiles' neck. "This way. If he's not there, it's kind of up in the air where he'd be. He might be at home, but he doesn't usually just chill out there."

♥♥♥ lmao, that sounds like a threat

[mccallmeback]

"He's cute. Hale was it?" The teen set's fascination with the Hale family was a thing. Knowing Stiles, it was a dig. He always had a sense of humor. "Scott? At home?" Come on, she knows her son. Scott is never home. Except when he is. Which is almost never.

Because, neither is she.

>> It might be.

[teenyoda]

"Yeah. My girlfriend drew him for me for Christmas. Well, Christmasish, not like they have the same 'holidays' around here. Yule, I guess?" They kept walking and Hale looked over when he heard his name, licking his lips before settling back down. There was a laugh at that and a nod. "Yeah, and with everyone else sort of being here too, he's got a lot on his plate."

... I'm scared. (But also planning on apping her.)

[mccallmeback]

His girlfriend.

Drew him a dragon.

For Yule.

Because of course she did.

"Everyone else who? Allison?" If he confirms that. "Isaac?" Thinking through her list. "Is Derek Hale here?"

Be afraid. Be so very afraid.

[teenyoda]

"Yep. Allison, Isaac, Derek, my dad, Lydia, Erica... and yeah, she knows what happens back home. That wasn't a fun conversation."

I am. I'm shaking like a leaf.

[mccallmeback]

Time really is broken here. She guesses it was only a matter of - well, time before time completely broke around them.

"No, it wouldn't be." She's sorry that any of them have to have conversations like that, have to go through what they do day in and day out. They're too young. They're just kids. But, her son is also a man. That includes Stiles. And too much tragedy has pushed Isaac to growing up fast as well.

"Where is Isaac staying?" Because, he was living with her and Scott and she'd like to not leave him out on the street.

Like a leaf on the wind? (ducks)

[teenyoda]

"Isaac? He's staying in a house by ours with Erica. And no, it's not like that." Get your mind out of the gutter, not-Mom. Isaac had no interest in boning Erica. He was too busy pining over Scott.

WASH FEELS

[mccallmeback]

"Trust me, I have no intention of thinking what it's like," she replies. That will be interesting information for later. "Good, he has a home. How long has your dad been here?"

YOU CAN'T TAKE THE SKY FROM MEEEEEEE

[teenyoda]

"Not too long. Mostly everyone was here by the time I got here. Dad was sort of the last to arrive. Well, Lydia was, really, but she'd been here a few times before. This is the first time dad's been here. I think." Stay with him, Melissa. It was a bumpy ride.

WILL NEVER BRING MEEE DOOOOWN OOOOHOOHOHHH

[mccallmeback]

"Just how many time has Lydia been here?" Because, she's attempting to stay on the bumpy ride with him. But, it's a lot to follow.

[teenyoda]

"I don't know? This'll be her third time since I've been here." He shrugged. "I've been here before, so I've been told. It comes and goes as to if we remember it or not. Kind of stupid, if you ask me."
