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. |

Web
[3. The Island]
Being a native, Web didn't really need an airplane to get to the island. Probably for the best; they'd rather have solid ground under their hooves if they were going up that high, thank you very much.
However, not all of the Knights came from the island itself. Everyone knew that! So when they got the word that some of their fellows were arriving, they made their way to the airport, weird disheveled alarm bird in tow. (They never called the rooster that to its beak, of course, but that's what it was to Web.)
They might've underestimated the amount of people there, though. They're still not that comfortable around that many people in one place, so instead of waiting in the airport proper, they're outside in the sun, waiting. When they see someone else with an animal, they wave one fuzzy arm in the air like a goof, hoping it'll get their attention.
[5. Discomfort]
Web is not used to cities. Web lived most of their life in the woods, and was still adjusting to living in a small town after that little... incident...made goat herding non-viable for them. Being this far away from nature for this long is making them a bit antsy.
Climb-the-walls antsy, even.
Because this evening, that's exactly what they're doing to try to calm down: they're climbing up a slightly older, near-vertical brick wall. Oh, did I mention that they're doing this seemingly without much effort? Sure, they're keeping themselves steadied with one hand on a stone above them, but the fact is they're walking up a goddamn wall like it's an easy platforming section in a video game...
5 obvi
"What the fuck?" The doctor's words are... loud, even by his standards. Luckily, he seems to catch himself before he keeps shouting. Garrot squints his eyes a bit, and sees that the figure is... probably on two legs? Doesn't mean much all things considered, so instead he calls out in a more nighttime-appropriate voice.
"...Are you the first monster? Are you the first monster, and lost?" He blinks a few times. This is weird. "Have you forgotten about gravity?"
no subject
"Haven't seen a faun or a goat before, have you? I'm Web. I'm actually from the island here, and a Knight, believe it or not. Nice to meet you. Just a sec..."
Very calmly, they readjusted their footing so they could start climbing back down the wall. Wouldn't do to give someone a crick in their neck for a conversation, no sir.
no subject
"So you're a Knight too, huh Web?" Garrot doesn't sound off-guard by the name, because his own name is native bugbear, and that's just a lot. "Are you, uh..." He scratches at the back of his neck, still perplexed by the wall-walking and the awkwardness of the conversation.
"Do you think you're ready? For, you know, Knight stuff?"
Re: Web
After Seth had finally gotten everything sorted out, his luggage being delivered straight to his hotel room he stepped out of the airport, though he was somewhat fretting over the fact he was separated from his puppets, minus Abigail. Qus is probably napping in his coat pocket or smth idk.
When they see Web waving an arm in the air he looks confused, but seeing the rooster he puts 2 and 2 together and gets 4 so he heads on over.
no subject
"Hi there, name's Web. I'm from here, and it's nice t' be meeting my fellow Knights. What's your name, friend?"
They're considerably more relaxed now that they can focus on one person instead of looking around - and worrying about - a giant crowd.
no subject
"Ah, I'm Seth. It's nice to meet you?"
The voice coming from really doesn't match Seth's appereance at all, so that's kind of trippy.
03
Unfortunately for him, it's an emergency door which means there is an alarm following his exit out into the sun. He looks baffled by the sound, looking behind himself as an enormous dire boar comes out into the light as well. They look quite the pair, rushing down the sidewalk away from the crowds and the loud bells.
It's not until he sees Web's arm waggling around in the air that he pauses, squinting. Who is this person waving at? He points to himself after a second. Me?
no subject
"Howdy!" they call, waving again to Gyre. "You're a Knight too, right?"
