As is tradition, in remembrance of friends we lost in December, Test Drive is here a few days early. ♥

Tag into this post with characters you're thinking of apping to the game (characters who are not currently in-game or currently reserved by someone else). It can be just a tag, a brief EP, whatever you want. You can be new to the game, or simply want to test out a fresh pup. Tag each other with these characters or those already in game, and have fun.

[ Glinda draws in a breath, opens her mouth as if to speak, then pauses for a prolonged moment, her expression somewhere between surprised and confused. It's very clear that this idea has never occurred to her at all. It seems worth entertaining, too — at the very least, it would be simpler, and no one would be stuttering over it again — but then that thought reminds her of why she decided to change it in the first place, and she dismisses it. ]

Theoretifically, yes, it would, but... Well, it's a long story. You see, I had this professor who was always saying it wrong. Glinda instead of Ga-linda. One thing led to another, and eventually, it stuck.

[ Rose would be the first to admit that she's not keeping up with evolving young-person slang, but she does betray a flicker of a frown at 'theoretifically.' Is that what people are saying these days? This is why she prefers talking to truckers.

Aside from that — well, and also aside from what a wild swing of a name 'Galinda' is in the first place — the explanation is easy enough to follow. ]

Yeah, that makes sense. I mean — and not to be rude or anything — but if your parents were going to name you something that close to 'Glinda' of good witch fame in the first place, they might as well have cut the extra syllable themselves and denied every wise-ass you'd ever meet the satisfaction.
