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.

"I'd much rather just stay at home in peace. If I didn't know that I'd end up on the Island sooner or later whether I wanted or not I wouldn't have come at all. Besides I doubt I'm going to be that admired."
Seth had typed quickly and then let the text to speech function play.

Seth actually winces ever so slightly at how loud his neighbor is getting.
scandeled: (gasp)

Matilda was still chattering on when the text to speech started-- but once her brain catches up, she falls completely silent. She looks so surprised, it's almost like she's about to apologize or something-- and then-- "Oh my gawd, you're going to be so totally admired! You don't have to worry about that, don't be so modest."

Seth glances away sighing, taking his oldest doll from his bag to hold to his chest as he typed again.

"I doubt it, they'll just find me weird like everyone else. Really I wish I could just stay inside my hotel room the entire time I'm there."
scandeled: (grin)

"Oh, that's alright! People think I am weird all the time, and some of them still like me!" That was phrased in an oddly chipper way and was....extremely self-aware of Matilda.

"Hey, what's that?"

Seth is very reluctant to answer.

"It's a doll. I made it years ago."
scandeled: (gossipy)

"Oh! It's cute!" She sounds sincere, at least, even if it's not traditionally cute. "Wow, I can't believe you made something like that. That's very inventive of you- you must have a very artistic spirit! I'm so utterly jealous of that. I don't have an ounce of creativity in my bones."
silentwords: (surprise)

Seth is taken aback by that. She thought Abigail looked...cute? Not creepy?

"Really? I'm...glad. Most just find her and the others creepy. I haven't had the heart to upgrade like Marion though since...she was the first I made."
