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. |

Look, don't you worry about that, and hit record already. [ Then Garrot puts on a reassuring voice, and just shakes his head for a few moments. ] If I start choking, just grab this chair and smash it over my head, that'll help! [ It will not, he's fucking with you, Little Miss Finishing School. ]
You think you can handle that? [ He smiles expectantly, and nods ever so slightly. The words that follow are so fast that he clearly doesn't care how she responds. ] My life is in your hands! [ Then with no hesitation and maximum exaggeration and melodrama, he snatches up a spoon, scoops off some of the Jello Meal, and brings it slowly towards his mouth. Garrot goes out of his way to smell it like the self-destructive fool he is, and there's an immediate grimace of despair aimed towards his new friend. And then...
CRONCH? SQUAMSH???? Whatever eldritch sound came from eating a spoonful of this nonsense probably had a lot of apostrophes. Garrot's jaw drops slightly, and he stares into the distance like a man who's seen the void. He's actually just trying to goad Matilda into reacting, but he can't say that... ]

Garrot's done it. He's found a way to shut Matilda Hamilton up.
She tries her best to keep at it and record this entire event, but that look in his eyes fucking terrifies her, and before she knows it, she's dropped the phone and is screaming, picking up the chair beside him EXACTLY LIKE HE TOLD HER TO. Upper body strength isn't exactly one of her specialties though, so it's taking some time for her to try and heft it above her head...]
no subject
Hmph. [ Garrot clenches his teeth and forces his body to swallow the meal-monster. It's just one bite, he's handled worse. ] Wait. [ The word is about as clear as can be despite the gelatin remnants, but he stands up, towering over the poor girl. A hand darts out, sure to show off those claws, before gripping one of the chair legs before she can do anything reckless. He's glowering. ]
You don't want to do that, right? [ There's a hint of a smile at the edge of one of his lips. Truth be told he's trying not to laugh in her face, because that'd be even more embarrassing. But also he's kind of angry and baffled and trying to gauge the chances of whether she'd listen if he told her more blatant lies. ]
no subject
Y-you told me to!

[ His other hand goes up and grabs the body of the chair, and a nod of the head ideally communicates that she can let it go. Garrot's got this, he can put down a chair, he's an adult! ] Quick reflexes, and you were decisive even though it turned out to be a bad call. Some people would freak out and freeze up!
[ And he laughs, partially to try to show the poor girl that it's okay, nobody's dead, it was just a bad joke gone worse. But he definitely doesn't want her to feel bad, so... ] I mean, get some training so you don't believe everything you hear, and you could probably be pretty great in a crisis! [ And now he's just. Smiling. Like that standoff with the chair never happened. ]
no subject
Truly?! [Now this she hadn't expected, why, it's almost a compliment] You think I might be good at something someday? I did freak out, but when I freak out, I always just do the first thing that comes to mind! Normally, that's a bad thing. People say 'Matilda, you complete imbecile, why did you drop a pitcher of water on the Duke's head at tea?!' and I'm like, awhmahgawd, he was being like, way too handsy with my sister, I had to do something! It's just never the right thing. Or like, if someone falls, I'll probably scream first. But then pick them up, and I'd get all dirty. Which isn't right.[Once she's got a word in she just kindof like rambles the entire thing off, her expressions changing to match the narrative in her weird story.]
