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. |

What are... [...does he really want to try to work through an explanation for this from a nonwild elf? The guy has moved out of the sun at least] I don't care what you do, as long as you stay there.
no subject
So what's the deal with that ink? [ His eyes widen, and he makes a sort of :o face as he tilts his head. ] Man, if I'd have seen that when I was younger I'd look so much cooler... [ And then he looks sadly upon his goth weeb skin zoo. Garrot loves em to death, but... maybe he'll get some rad geometries after all this. ]
no subject
[An idle curiosity that becomes just the biggest grin in the world. He loves his body and his various mods and he's all too happy to talk about them]
My uh... [What's the word for this relationship? There are a few that work, and he supposes it's easier to just pick one]
My wife wanted to use me as a canvas, so I let her. She does such good work, I didn't even think about saying no. [He raises an arm, turning it around so he can admire the coil and angle of the lines where they end just before the natural black of his own skin] She started here and [shrug!] I never told her to stop.
[And then he finally turns his attention to Garrot again, looking over his tattoos for a moment... then reaching out to run a couple fingers over the wolf on his calf. The touch is thoughtless, like he's used to close contact without it necessarily meaning anything]
I like this one.
no subject
Oh man, I love that one. [ He chuckles, and just shakes his head wistfully. ] So back in my heyday my crew and I got into a barfight and we were all pretty wasted, but apparently I just ran across the room whooping, like a wolf, and I gave him a flying knee, right to the face. [ He looks a little sheepish for a moment, but continues. ] There was so much blood they thought I went for the throat, and once we got thrown out we went and got me that to commemorate it.
[ He's beaming, like it's one of the proudest accomplishments in his life. Like a proud father of violence, who has no children. But then he quirks an eyebrow. ] So does your wife do commissions? Because I'd totally pay for quality work like that.
[ For some reason it seems like bad taste to ask if she can make a really metal, bitchin' monkey somewhere. But damn does he want to ask anyway. ]
no subject
[He doesn't look up from the tattoo until Garrot starts asking about his wife... and uh, and he's not gonna hide the absolute distaste in his eyes at the idea of commissions? Yuck]
She uh... hasn't got a lot of use for money. Maybe if you catch her interest, she'll do something on you.
