THE ACADEMY AGE MEME

The Academy Age Meme



"No, you can't eat yourself if you henge into a bowl of ramen, go sit back down"


Ah yes, another long-awaited Sunshineverse meme!

As the name suggests, this meme is fairly straightforward: bring out the cute academy aged icons, because we'll be playing everyone as their young, academy aged selves! This time it's pretty straightforward, but here's a step by step anyway.

Step one: Post a top level comment with your character's name and affiliation at the time of their academy training. You should probably include their age--again, at the time they'd be in the academy--along with it. If, for whatever reason, your character didn't go to a ninja academy, probably just post them as a child around the time other kids would have been in the academy

Step two: Given the nature of this meme, you may want to include a scenario or two for people to tag into, but otherwise, it's a good idea to include relevant information people will need if they tag your character. If during their childhood they refused to leave trees, preferred to henge into a puddle to make people slip on them, or killed people indiscriminately, these are good things for people to know.

Step three: Tag to others, and relive your high school Academy days!

NOTE: Ages in this meme are synched up. That means school-kid Karin won't be able to kick it with school-kid Kushina. But! A school-kid Karin could end up interacting with a somewhat younger than current canon Kushina!

BONUS NOTES!

1: Although it isn't required to, all tags and threads in this meme can absolutely count toward actual in-game history for the characters involved!

2: Threads that count for history also count for activity! Just like the test drive meme, if the threads count for history, they also count for activity

3: Don't forget the NPC journal! This is a great opportunity to interact with dead/distanced/etc characters that would still be around or would be prominently involved with the history of your characters, and that's what this NPC journal is there for! Use it!

4: Most important - Have fun, you cute little ninja terrors

"I'm Rin! Where are you from, Peter?" Maybe, just maybe, Peter could be a friend?

"Grass. It's pretty far away from here. It's why my parents brought me with them."
pinnedbangs: (bitty in the snow)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-10-26 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"Grass?"

He had never heard of such a place before. Huge misty fields of nothing but grass come to mind. Perhaps these people lived underground...

"What's it like over there? Is it bigger than here even? Are there tall buildings and underground buildings an-and mole people?"
lostmarauder: (Disgruntled)

"Do you live in a puddle?" He huffed then shook his head. "No, it's just... Grass." He gave a helpless shrug. "It's warmer than here."
pinnedbangs: (bitty knows dragons are real jeez)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-15 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
"Of course I don't! I live in a house!"

He huffed right back and crossed his arms. Potential new friend or not, Rin didn't take kindly to feeling insulted or embarrassed. He wasn't sure how he should feel about that comment. It sounded like a genuine question to him.

"...I wanna see it one day. Right now it's warm. D'you mean it gets even warmer? ...Can you take me with you when you go back?" And then Rin could come back home tomorrow and tell his family all about Grass.
lostmarauder: (Quiet Smile)

"I don't think my parents would let me. But you can sneak in with us if you want! You know, if they don't catch you at it?"
pinnedbangs: (bitty in shock)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-16 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can?!"

That sounded too good to be true, like the beginnings of an adventure! ...But that's exactly why he seemed to wilt a little.

"What if they do catch me? Will they just take me back home? ...I can't be gone all day. I gotta be home by dinner."
lostmarauder: (Uncertain Grin)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-11-20 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
"It'll take more than dinnertime for us to get back to my home though." He shook his head at him.
pinnedbangs: (bitty nose bleed)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-23 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh. That's okay, I'll go another time. Will you bring me something from Grass?"
lostmarauder: (Overexcited)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-11-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Next time I come here I'll be really sure to bring a present okay?"
pinnedbangs: (bitty ready for action fais)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-29 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
"...D'ya mean it? Stick a 'undred needles in your eye 'n everthin'?"
lostmarauder: (Quiet Smile)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-11-30 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
"Mm! My parents are merchants, I can do it! ... But it might be a while." He couldn't really help that.
pinnedbangs: (bitty proud o ur dreams)

Rin bounced in place, unable to contain his excitement for a second longer.

"Does that mean you're my friend now?" One gift doth not a friend make, but Peter seemed like a good person. And he actually spoke to Rin as if he were another kid instead of challenging him to a fight for breaking someone else's nose.
lostmarauder: (Humoring You)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-11-30 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah... I guess we can be, but it might be a really long time before I see you again."
pinnedbangs: (bitty shame fais)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-30 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
"...Oh." He looks younger than his age in that moment, with his quivering frown and glassy eyes. He's not going to be sad about this, no sir.

"Fine. For today only."
lostmarauder: (You're Screwing With Me)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-11-30 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
"That doesn't mean I'll forget you." It's weird, actually feeling like he should do the protecting for someone. But... nice.
pinnedbangs: (bitty IS A MAN)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-30 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
"It's okay if you forget. It happens when you get bigger." These were the facts of life, after all.

"But let's go do something now before you have to go!"
lostmarauder: (Ah ha... um...)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-11-30 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
"I won't forget!" He already had one person he had to be sure to never forget, he could make it two. Easy. "But okay. As long as I don't have to get back up a tree."
pinnedbangs: (bitty in the snow)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-11-30 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"...If you say so." He's not going to believe it until he is an enormous adult with bulging muscles and a goatee. "I wanna ... I wanna do something only a big kid can do! What is it?" Why, yes, he is asking Peter what older kids did for fun.
lostmarauder: (The Hell is This?)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-12-08 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
"Um. I don't know? I read a lot..." He was not gong to be helpful for this line of questioning Rin, he was that kid people chased up trees.
pinnedbangs: (bitty knows dragons are real jeez)

[personal profile] pinnedbangs 2014-12-16 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Nonsense! There had to be something on his big kid mind that was absolutely barred from little kids!!

Oh, ew... Rin pulls a face at that. "Reading? Like sitting down forever and only looking at words? That's what my brother does and it's booooooooooring."
lostmarauder: (Uncertain Grin)

[personal profile] lostmarauder 2014-12-17 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"But a couple shinobi I know snuck me scrolls that have jutsu, so it can't be all bad, right?" He doubts the other boy will be convinced but...
