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. |

Seth types in his phone again as he keeps sipping, though unfortunately for Garrot's hopes his face has gone back to remaining blank. Sorry Garrot this kid can barely emote.
"It's really good. I actually love sweet stuff. I'd say this is pretty worth dealing with the scent of coffee here."
no subject
"Huh, well..." Garrot mulls something over for a moment, before just kind of shrugging. "You'd probably hate bars then. Alcohol tends to smell worse and sometimes people mix it with coffee." He won't mention the fact that they're usually pretty loud and that drunk people happen, or, well. The more he thinks about it the more he might actually mention those things.
"...You might just wanna find a smoothie shop, though."
no subject
Seth momentarily makes a face at the idea of mixing alcohol and coffee before he types in response.
"I know what bars are like and I definetely would never step foot in one. And...well...I don't really go out much...I like to stay home... it's safe there."
no subject
"But hey, think of it this way." He's smiling, and even gives his compatriot a thumbs-up! "Once we get through this, you'll be a celebrity and you'll be able to hire a bodyguard and go wherever you want! You can be safe everywhere!"
As far as Garrot is concerned the only way to be safe everywhere is to be combat-trained in a world without the Wizard but, like, details. And of course he's not going to acknowledge the fact that at least a few people die against the Wizard every year, either... Instead he'll just grin as encouragingly as he can muster.
no subject
"But that'd mean having a stranger looking over me at all times. Not a friend but a stranger...I don't like that idea...I don't want to be a celebrity..."
