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. |

[For most, a day at the beach means a day of fun in the waves, sipping cold drinks and relaxing. But for Luka, it's an opportunity for career advancement. Naturally, he could only be seen at the best beaches, and any beach worth it's salt is always occupied by lurking paparazzi hoping for those coveted, sexy A-lister bikini shots (or embarrassing, unsexy ones-- those sell too, and often for more).
For the occasion, Luka's arrived fashionably late in over-the-top couture sunglasses and with a small entourage in tow. He's heard rumors that some of the chosen Knights will be here today -- and he's come looking to "network". He's currently standing at the shore line conspicuously posing when he's alerted to the presence of a Knight, and makes his approach with a friendly wave.]
05 • DISCOMFORT
[Luka's retreated to the roof of the hotel. He's leaning against the brick structure, anxiously smoking a cigarette. The sounds of the bustling city night life below are calming, but it's still not enough to shake the discomfort that's plagued him for hours now.
He sighs and stubs his cigarette out with his boot, startled to hear someone else climbing the stairs to the roof.]
no subject
Except it wasn't.
Seth was really surprised to see someone else there, smelling a hint of cigarette smoke, but he can deal with that. At least it wasn't the smell of coffee.
no subject
"Sorry, no time for pictures. I'm trying to have some private time, you know?"
no subject
So Seth ends up just being very, very confused when there's no response to his signing from the other, not knowing they were blind.
no subject
Are you just going to stand there or what, kid? If you aren't going to leave, I'll have to.
no subject
"I don't what you're talking about, I just came here for some fresh air as I figure there wouldn't be people here. And I haven't just been standing here... can you not see well? Or do you just not know about sign language at all? I thought since I signed my response you would have confirmed if you know sign language or not..."
07
[This does him no good at all, and he's forced to acknowledge Luka's wave before he gets very far at all, bringing himself to a stop with a little huff]
Yes...?
no subject
So I've been told you're one of the chosen Knights this time around. Care for a photo opportunity?
no subject
You want a picture? With me?
07
Shit! [ He left his phone back with the rest of his stuff on the other side of the beach! This is the worst time to have gone for a run to destress because now poor Garrot is more stressed than he's been all day! Especially because Luka just waved at him! ]
Hahaha- oh, uh... me? [ He approaches, a bit more sheepish and awkward than should be reasonable for someone of his over-seven-feet build. ] My daughter and I are fans and I'd be flattered if we could get a picture but I don't have my phone and-
[ The doctor goes red in the face. He's being an idiot and he'll never get a picture and his daughter will never believe him and it's going to be the worst and he's gonna feel so bad and so on, forever, parental guilt. Poor guy. ]
07 • Beach episode
Discomfort
[She wasn't really - she had made herself known deliberately. She'd actually been silently watching him for a few minutes - not because she'd been following him or anything like that, but because she'd been surprised someone else was awake and up on the roof at this hour. She also couldn't help but be really curious about him - she'd sold enough fake autographs to know who Luka was, but she never thought she'd ever meet the man in question.
She approached him, making sure he could hear her steps.]
You got a smoke?
