Welcome to the Test Drive! In this post, you'll be able to interact with others to get a feeling for your character. All threads below will be considered non-canon unless otherwise stated. Multiple different scenarios are available, you are welcome to post multiple comments with different scenarios each or post one single comment containing different scenarios.
i n s t r u c t i o n s • Post with your character (note character name in the subject).
• Other people reply to you by picking a number from the scenarios in the subject line.
• Have fun!
o p t i o n s 01 • AWAKENING. Your character has just woken up, or turned a corner, or blinked and now their animal companion has joined them. How do they react? What were they doing beforehand? How are they going to handle the news that they're a knight now? For this thread, you'll be threading with your animal companion. (You must provide the thread-start for this option)
02 • ON THE PLANE. You were promised a seat on a plane out to the island but it looks like you and another Knight (or the Princess) were double-booked! Chat it up with your fellow fighter, commentary from your animal companions is optional.
03 • THE ISLAND. You've just landed and you're somewhere on the island. One of your fellow companions is nearby and they sure do look like they've just landed with all their luggage still in tow. Or they're already wearing an Island tourism shirt. Or who even knows, but you're both here!
04 • COFFEE SHOP. All you wanted was a Latte, or a Frappuccino, to consider why you're here on the island and what you were going to do until the first monster showed up... Instead the barista called for "Drink for the Knight" or "Drink for the Princess" oh shit, but this isn't your drink! Or maybe it is your drink but someone else is there! Why would two knights have gone for coffee at the same time? Or did you get confused for or with the Princess? Come on, man, there are only so many unicorn frappes in the world.
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort. Go for a walk, go outside, looks like you're not alone in your discomfort. New island housing is wild!
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. First night on the island is rough. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • BEACH EPISODE. You're on an island!! There's beaches everywhere, there are pools on every street. Endless water opportunities, chances to fool around and relax before things get serious. You're not the only good guy to have had this thought! What are you both up to?
08 • LOCAL FOOD. You've been dying to eat X, a dish that you've seen numerous other knights eat on TV. Now YOU'RE a knight (or the princess) and you're eating it yourself, there are kids at home that'll be excited to eat this food because they saw you eating it! You might even get a commercial spot to advertise this food when you get home. Awesome! Except someone else is here, what if they get the commercial spot? Huh.
09 • DENNY'S. It's 3am and you've arrived at a Denny's. You're almost certain that there's not a Denny's on the island and you're not even sure you walked in here? But it is what it is and the server is already bringing you a menu and taking your drink order as one of your fellow allies slips into the booth across from you. Have you met them before, or are they new to you? Your animal companion is here, too, and they're ordering something as well.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario. |

[And there she is. And the sight of her makes him immediately angry? He's not exactly sure why, but the frilly nightgown is definitely part of it. Despite the distress gripping his chest, he wants to leave her to her tears for just a brief, brief moment]
[Wait no she's seen him. Fuck. Okay, he can't let her just keep weeping. What if something's really wrong? He begins approaching, looking her over, his voice this deep baritone purr: ]
Are you hurt?
no subject
N-no, not exactly... [She does a big sniff, peering up at him with big watery eyes.]
no subject
Uh... okay. [He's immediately tempted to leave, and he does turn slightly as if he's just going to walk the fuck away like a jerk]
Not exactly?
no subject
What, don't you hate this too? [She doesn't wait for him to press, just goes on, still sniffling and rubbing at her eyes.]
This was supposed to be a grandiloquent adventure! I thought it was going to be thrilling and fun, not deadly! [AND ALSO THERE ARENT ENOUGH PILLOWS IN HER ROOM. But also it's terrifying to realize knights actually die and dont just get shipped off to an underground bunker to live in.]
no subject
Don't lots of people die here every year? [He's pretty sure he's heard that? He's sorta kicking himself for not paying attention to the wizard all this time at this point]
no subject
Yes! But I didn't think they were factual deaths! I thought it was just for entertainment, you know? Who would actually put a bunch of randoms on an island and make them fight actual monsters to demise?! That's like, completely messed up!
no subject
[There is an undisguised disdain in his voice all of a sudden! He is ready for the wizard to kill the world if death is an entertainment product for these people holy shit]
no subject
I just said I didn't think they actually died! Of course I wouldn't find that engaging, I thought it was all a beguiling media scheme! And finding out it's not and I'm one step away from mortal peril is like, completely-- [sniff sniff sniff]
no subject
You have a whole team of people to help you. Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones.

We can only do our best to defend each other.
no subject
Their hearts are probably in the very throes of despair too, but I'm out here crying. That's detestably feeble of me, isn't it? [She doesn't wait for a response, an expert at talking down to herself and having others confirm her fears. Instead she offers a meek smile.] So I should do my best, too!
no subject
You should. [...] If you need help learning how to defend yourself, you should ask for it.
