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. |

It was worth a shot. They flump down again, sitting now.
"I know I'm not big and cool like a dragon or tiger but I've done some really cool things and you will too! Do you have heart, kid?" They can do motivational speeches, just look at them go! They're trying to make sure this kid doesn't pass out but. If he did, fine.
no subject
After a bit he signs again.
"It's not you I'm worried about, I know you've done some really great things...but..I can't do this! I can barely make myself go outside when I absolutely have to go get something I can get delivered!"
Yeah this kid was absolutely terrfied but at least he didn't seem to be on the verge of passing out?
no subject
"Want to show me around your place? Tell me about you?" That seemed like a pretty safe place to start. They were curious what he'd answer with, here.
no subject
"Sure, sure I can do that."
He offered his hand to Qus so they could climb up his arm or something if they wanted to.
no subject
"Lead the way, show me whatever you want."
no subject
It was filled with puppets.
There were puppets everywhere.
Sitting on the sofa, in a chair at the dining table, on the floor holding books like they were reading- they were all sorts of sizes too from small dolls to life sized puppets.
There was even a puppet lying on the bed like a dive and the bed looked like it hadn't been used in a while.
no subject
That's a lie, the moment Qus starts seeing the way they're all positioned they're rethinking their stance. Why were they all set up like they were living here?
"Here I was thinking you lived alone." They say half as a joke and half as a way to keep themselves from leaping over and turning the puppets' heads to look the other way. Every time they realize they're looking a puppet face-to-face they llook the other way.
no subject
While Qus was, understandably, unnerved by the room, Seth seemed to calm right down, like there was little that could bother him right now. This was his safe space. Where he could retreat to from all the anxiety and the overwhelming world. Still he chuckled quietly, and a little awkwardly at the statement.
"Well, others don't really count them as living with me. But I'm happy to have them. Living with many friends is much better than living alone after all."
no subject
They had to roll with it, because this was their knight this year. They slowly float off of Seth's shoulder and float in midair like they're dangling.
"They're staying here, right?" They say, idly looking around again at all the faces.
no subject
The initial response is fast and instinctive before Seth then explains in more detail.
"Since I really have to go and be a part of this, I want to at least have them with me! If I didn't...then I'd be all alone...far away from here... with nothing comforting with me..."
He looks genuinely terrified at the thought of not having his puppets with him.
no subject
"I guess somebody'll have to bring them. Sorry I can't help you carry any." They scritch at one of their ears with a paw as they think of all the various human organizations they've met throughout the years. Somebody was bound to help their knight.
no subject
And then he started kind of sign-muttering again.
"Of course, that's alright I understand...I'm used to carrying them so I'll have no problem packing them up but...I'll have to get a lot of big boxes for them, they probably wouldn't be allowed on the plane...god I feel so bad they probably have to travel in the cargo...oh the poor dears...Marion's going to give me an earful at the very least about being treated like luggage...Abigail I can probably take with me on the plane since she can travel in my bag..."
