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 then she's gesturing at him, and he lets himself rise slowly. When his head breaks the water, he doesn't take the usual gasping breath, but also doesn't speak right away. Instead, there's this weird leaking from his collar, water spilling down his shoulders and chest. He doesn't seem to mind though, looking at her and then pointing towards the rocks. That way?
no subject
She starts swimming towards the rocks, but carefully; she doesn't dive underwater or let her arms or legs break the surface and splash, so while she's much slower, she's also much quieter
no subject
Once he's there, he very carefully begins to pull himself up out of the ocean. He's trying to keep the splashing to a minimum but there sure is just water pouring out of his neck at this point. He's just trying to keep his head near the ground as he pulls himself up and begins to climb the rocks. He wants to get a little higher so he can spy around, see if these fat little boys are anywhere close by.
no subject
When she crosses a ridge, she peers over and sees about three sea lions relaxing in what kind of looks like a natural pool created by the rocks. She quietly slinks back and gestures excitedly at Gyre, mouthing “They’re here!!!”
no subject
He's climbed up top in a moment, only slowing once he's close enough to look over the top. He's careful after that, only very slowly peeking up over the top of the rocks, scanning down below and, somehow, grinning even wider when he sees the pod. Wherever she ends up, he isn't paying attention at all, every bit of his focus drawn to the three little nuggets below. Give him a second, he's loving this right now.
no subject
While he's preoccupied, she takes a minute to look at the collar on his neck, trying to figure out why the water behaved so strangely around it before. She's seen a lot of weird stuff in her day so she's not really perturbed, but she IS curious.
