Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: This is a trial thread for Drift for the second sample of Ace D. Monkey's application. Headmaster Cid welcomes a new arrival to the Final Fantasy VIII world. ...written in commentspam because this mod feels more comfortable with it than third person. D:

[ The Headmaster waved the next student out of his office, chuckling at the confused look upon the poor girl's face as she exited. Many of the new arrivals had come into his office looking a mixture of confused, frightened and, in some cases, angry, and he'd been doing his best to assuage the worries of his new students as he explained everything he could about the Garden and the world at large.

Peering down at the next student's file, Cid adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat, rising to his feet to poke his head out into the hallway. ]

Ah, is Ace...er, Monkey, with us today?

Quite a name you've got there! Very original. I like it.



Come in and make yourself comfortable. I'm sure you probably have questions...it's not every day you end up in a completely different place with no idea how you got there, eh? Still adjusting to the new environment?

That's good, the more experience in battle you already have the better. And yes, from what I've gathered, there aren't many people arriving from worlds already familiar with our system of magic. However, the classes we have here have been designed to familiarize even those with absolutely no prior knowledge of paramagic with the systems we use in combat.

Now then, I would like to ask you a few questions to better understand where you're coming from. First of all, can you briefly describe what sort of world you come from and what profession, if any, you had?

So would you say that you follow orders well? Or do you prefer to do the ordering?

Not to worry, I'm simply making a few notes to keep track of things. From what you've told me, I think that you would be a perfect candidate for our SeeD program. You would have to learn about magic, but that's what the classes are there for.

Oh, that reminds me. Are you familiar with...I suppose the best term to use would be "monsters", as I don't believe other places have the same beasts. Large birds, tentacled creatures, dragons and the like? If you aren't, would you be afraid to fight them?

I've fought plenty of weird things before. Seakings, Devil Fruit users, dinosaurs...

[wrmods.livejournal.com]

Good, good, good. We happen to have T-Rexaurs in the Training Center, so that might be a welcome sight if you enjoy fighting against dinosaurs.



Well, I have no worries about whether or not you'll fit in, Ace. I do hope that you enjoy your stay and ensure you that the Garden will do everything within its power to provide you with anything you might need here.

Aaand it's ooc time now.

That should be good! Thank you for applying, and we'll get to your app sooner rather than later. I'm glad you chose the trial thread option, I was wondering if anyone was ever going to give that a try. :)

And to bed for me! :D

Thank you! And I was going to write a prose sample, but the trial thread seemed like too much fun - I'm kind of surprised more people didn't take it. o7
