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, Matilda didn't ask for this either, she had been under the impression she'd be riding private first class. That had been the entire So while they aren't quite double booked, she is sitting in the seat next to him, and she is pouting a little bit. So poor Seth has a little bit of reprieve, until she gets sick of pouting, and decides to instead lean into his personal space and peer at his questionnaire.


"You haven't finished that yet?"

Seth would have let out an 'eep' if he could, but alas, there was no sound as he jumped back slightly, looking pretty pale, though his expression remaining blank.

This was definitely another thing on his growing list of "why him". Having someone sitting right next to him. He was definitely not comfortable. He hadn't gone outside in ages and so this was pretty much the first time in perhaps even over year he'd had to be this close to another person for long periods of time.

Well at least he managed to nervously shake his head so that was something I guess?

If she notices that he didn’t make a single sound she doesn’t seem to notice, continuing to invade his personal space. Her hands are perched on the armrest as she leans over him, peering curiously at it— then she sits back, on her knees in the seat while she faces him. “Oh! I already finished mine, it was so great, like a magazine interview! Isn’t it soooo~ooooo interesting? The whole wide world knows our names now! Our lives have become so illustrious!”

Seth however shook his head again, this time far more vigorously. The whole world knowing their names now wasn't at all fun, or even interesting, really he'd much preferred that people didn't know his name.

He looked anxiously, though to other it likely looked more like a blank staredue to his very poor capabilities of expressing himself, at the questionare, gripping the papers a bit tighter, reading over the few responses he'd managed to write down...that were definitely the polar opposite of himself, describing him as outgoing if not materialistic.

He chewed his cheek as he set the papers down for now, leaning against the seat as he started getting his phone out. There was no way he could focus on the questionare right now, and due to the talkative nature of the woman next to him he had a feeling he'd need his text to speech function in the phone sooner than later.

She bounces a little in her seat, making room for her poor neighbor grab for whatever he needed to. “Oh, you don’t have to be shy or nervous about it! I’m sure the world will just completely adore and admire you! Even if you’re one of....” She lowers her voice to a hushed whisper, her voice completely scandalized— “those knights—“ Oh, she’s back to sounding cheerful now “Everyone has fans who love them! It’s going to be such a wonderful adventure together, my heart swells at the very aspect! Bonds will be formed that can’t be broken! The very fate of the world will be decided! Romances sparked! Action! Passion! Thrills!”

...She’s only getting more excited and louder as she goes.

"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)

[personal profile] scandeled 2019-01-10 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
"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?"
silentwords: (Default)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-10 08:31 am (UTC)(link)
Seth is very reluctant to answer.

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

[personal profile] scandeled 2019-01-19 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
"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)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-19 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
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."
