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.

The dichotomy between typist and voice gets another small, well-natured grin out of Terrence, who continues looking at Seth's face even when he types.

"Ah, sorry," he offers with a chuckle, shrugging sheepishly. "I can leave you be if you'd prefer. I'm a bit antsy about the trip and a nervous talker, myself..."

"I really don't mind, you can talk all you like. I'm really nervous myself, honestly I'd much preferred to just never go and stay home but, well I would have ended up there sooner or later from what history says."

Seth gave a nervous shrug at the end.

Also nervous? History..? And there's only so many connecting flights one could get off on... Terrence's eyes light up in realization as he leans forward in excitement, "You're a knight, aren't you?!"

Nevermind that so is he.

Fanboy.

Poor Seth jumps a little when Terrence leans forward, shrinking into the backrest of his seat.

"Oh...y-yeah...I mean I'd highly prefer not to be but.."

Though the trepidation doesn't immediately come through in the text-to-speech, Terrence is fairly versed in body-language and slowly backs off, not wanting to overwhelm the poor guy. Instead, he holds one hand up to the side of his face to offer a conspiratorial whisper (which isn't actually very covert at all), "I'm actually one of the knights this year, too!"

Seth is definitely surprised, but it puts him a bit at ease, the edge of his anxiety receding. Knights were generally good people, not all of them as records showed, but most of the time, so it really helped to ease his anxiety in being out in the open, let alone in a plane where he wouldn't have any real place to hide.

"R-really? Oh wow that's a surprise. I mean I didn't think there'd be another Knight, or the Princess, on the flight...I kinda left things a bit last minute since I'm very reluctant to go in the first place. But well since I'd end up there anyway I'd rather take the fact this way I'm allowed to bring as much luggage as I can. Though I feel bad they all except Abigail have to travel in those crates..."

Terrence likes this one, he's decided. Seth's straightforward reactions are making it so tempting to mess with the guy, but that'd be rather cruel while he's trapped on a flight for the next several hours. Not to mention a bad idea if they're going to be working together at saving the world and all!

Wait, what?

"They..? Are you bringing pets or something?"

"Oh, no, no, they're not pets, they're my friends."

Seth actually smiles slightly, a change of pace from his otherwise generally blank expression, as he said that as if it was the most normal thing to say as he holds the doll to his chest tenderly. Soon ending up kind of rambling momentarily.

"But having them all here would take up so much space, besides other consider them just toys, which I really don't approve of. They're precious and dear friends of mine, especially Marion even though they can be such a diva."

He then goes on for a while about his puppet friends, until he realizes exactly what he's doing...and promptly freaks out a little all too aware how others tended to view his hobby.

"Oh- oh god, I'm sorry, god I ended up just rambling and- gods... they're puppets...my friends...are puppets..."

He looked incredibly embarrassed, and awkward, but also kind of fearful, like he was bracing for something?
