Test Drive Meme


the t e s t d r i v e meme


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.

Terrence Torrence

(App for reference! Also open to anything else, even if I didn't post a starter for it. Also also willing to do prose or any other tense if you're more comfortable with that!)

02.) On the Plane
Goodness. When I was promised first class seats I was expecting an electronic massage and cup holder, not a complimentary lap to sit on!

[Seriously, though, how the hell did this happen? Knight flying here, people. One that could probably buy this entire airport besides. All considered, though, Terrence seems more amused than anything by the mix-up as he approaches the seat thief.]

Could I trouble you to double-check your ticket..?


06.) Pensive
[Terrence is so busy pacing that he doesn't even notice his fellow knight enter the common room. It's only once they either make a noise or he gets about a foot away from running into them that they have his attention. Obviously he's been at this for a while, completely consumed by... Something.]

Ah... Apologies.

[After a beat, he begins to study the other's face for a few moments before giving them a somewhat lethargic finger gun. The gesture is rather ambiguous, as is his tone.]

Say, you don't have any expectations of or emotional attachment to me, correct..? Let me dump my insecurities on you for a bit.


07.) Beach Episode
[While the contrast against his stark black hair and fur makes Terrence's paleness clear, it becomes elevated to an entirely new echelon on the beach. 'Ghostly' wouldn't be inaccurate, though he himself would prefer something more flowery like 'ivory' or 'alabaster'. It's likely he'd be reflecting the sunlight and blinding everyone entirely if not for his sandy perch beneath an immense, nearly equally bright yellow umbrella. His swimsuit is a simple black speedo that compliments his previously mentioned fur well and makes clear the lagomorph has nothing to hide.

Terrence peers over a pair of enormous sunglasses at the approaching knight with a playful look.
]

I'm not going to lie, I only voted for a day at the beach so I could check everyone out. So far?

...Nice.


09.) Denny's
Why the hell are we at Denny's, the participation trophy of restaurants?

[It isn't disgust or disdain in Terrence's voice, no, more like... Pity. He stares a hole in one spot of the menu for what seems like several minutes, clearly not actually reading a thing on it.]

...Raspberry tea, please.

Red Leaves Gyre on the Grey Lake

[personal profile] sustainer 2019-01-06 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
app here

01. Awakening
[Gyre fell asleep late last night, and he wakes up late because of it. The afternoon sun hits him fully in the face before he blinks and turns over in his sleeping bag. He wants a few more minutes. Just a little more, please. He knows he needs to hunt today, and he needs to finish his journey to his little home to check up on it, and he always hates meditating too late in the day, but just a minute or two more]

[He can't. Now that he's awake, he can feel sweat pooling in the small of his back and one sharp blade of grass digging into his neck. He sighs deeply, a harsh rattle in his throat, and he forces himself up sitting, still wrapped tight in his sleeping bag. Give him a second, Fen. He'll blink the sleep out of his eyes soon]



05. Discomfort
[There is no fucking way he's sleeping in a bed tonight. He laid down for about thirty seconds before his back started hurting. The cushions are too soft and he hates the pure luxury of it all. Who needs a bed like that? Who needs three pillows for a single head!]

[So he scrabbled together the pajamas the Wizard provided him, and now there is a wild elf loitering under the blue magic streetlamps out in front of whatever hotel he got shoved into. He's listening to crickets chirp and pacing, walking through the hotel's little garden path. And then doing it again. And again. Maybe he'll just sleep out in the flowerbeds tonight. That's a thing that's totally reasonable to do, right?]



07. Beach Episode
[Hey! It's beach time! Gyre doesn't get to see the beach very often, so he's taking the best advantage of it he can right now. Which is to say, he's laying in the sand, just out of reach of the waves. He's either wearing very small shorts or absolutely nothing at all beside his collar depending on what you want this scene to be. Either way, he's covered in tattoos and there are some pretty bad scars in his shoulder and his stomach. His legs are spread wide, his arms stretched up over his head, his whole body sprawled as wide as he can. He just looks like he's melting delightedly in the sunshine basically someone definitely needs to come mess with him]


Or any of the others are good too!

Seth Samara

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
App here for reference.

01. Awakening
Seth had been working yet another new puppet, though at least it was a commission this time, because what else does he really even do this sad young man. So he'd been very very absorbed in it and so understandably when he after blinking Qus is just suddenly there he does what any reasonable person does. Jumps back startled and spooked and screams though there is no actually sound due to him being mute, ending up falling flat on his ass, the chair he'd been sitting on now fallen over.


02. On the Plane
Why was this happening? Why him? Why couldn't he just not have been chosen as a Knight and stayed inside the comfort and safety of his home?

Instead of that he's now on the flight to the Island, trying to focus on writing down the answers for the questionare, not that any of them actually describe him, as he's answering as if he was one of his many puppets, mostly Marion but there were a lot of others in the mix too.

Except he's struggling because even though he doesn't usually get sick on car rides or flights or such, his nervousness and anxiety are making him queasy.


03. On the Island
Welp, he's here now. Of course when he first landed he immediately decided that he couldn't do this and tried to get back on the plane that had flown him there but too late, the plane was gone. And now he's just standing there with his luggage that consists mostly of large caskets containing his many, many emotional support puppets. Well except the one his holding tightly to his chest.


06. Pensive
Welcome to stress hour. It's the first night and the stress of everythign that's been happening has finally really set in for Seth. He was first pacing in his room but after "complaints from his puppets" for being distracting, he relocated outside, and is now pacing there, making quick handsings in front of himself, his version of muttering.


Or come at me with any of the other ones, I'm not picky.

Terrence Torrence here comes Seth

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 01:20 pm (UTC)(link)
02.) On the Plane
The "seat thief" in question jumps slightly at the sound, having been rather engrossed in making anxious motions to himself, turning to look at Terrence with...a pretty blank face with the only thing showing his surprise being his very very slightly widened eyes, which honestly with his usually half-lided and downcast eyes probably looked more like blank stare.

Though he hastily took out his ticket to double-check like he'd been asked to, mouth opening just a sliver as he realized that his seat was actually across from where he was currently sitting.

He got up quickly, moving his bag on the otherside of the table, making a few hand sings to apologize as he moved to sit in his correct spot, directly across from Terrence. Perhaps strangely for Terrence he didn't seem to recognize him at all.

05. Discomfort
Low and behold though, Gyre wasn't actually the only one outside. Seth was there too...along with one of his about human sized puppets who he was anxiously signing to, and then moving the puppets hands to sign back.

To someone like Gyre who actually knew sign language the conversation was going about as follows: "I can't just kick them out of the bed! They claimed it the moment we got here, besides you know what a tantrum they'll throw if they have to sleep anywhere but on a plush bed!" "Seth you're a goddamn knight now, you need to sleep if you're going to survive this. Marion will just have to settle for the sofa." "But I could sleep on the sofa too..."

[Matilda seems to be trying to rival Terrance in terms of paleness- except for she has no one here to remind her to apply sunscreen or sit under an umbrella, and so it just hasn't really crossed her mind yet.

Her freckles are already multiplying, and they were barely visible under her makeup when she landed. And she physically recoils when Terrance speaks to her, leaning back dramatically like he's physically wounded her with his comment.]


Awhmygawd you did not just say that out loud!

[She clutches the volleyball she's holding closer to her chest like it might make the red polka dot bikini she's wearing more modest (it doesn't). And in true Matilda fashion she's gone full out extra with heart shaped red sunglasses over her eyes and... she's still wearing those dumb rose tinted goggles over top her head. At least they might actually have a purpose on the beach.]

[Who needs three pillows for a single head? Not Matilda Hamilton, that's for sure. She could use more. And it's not just the bed, okay?! But she can't sleep without the room at a very precise sixty-five degrees, and she misses the sound of a cozy fire burning at the same time as a night breeze being allowed to whisp into her bedroom, or without her goose feather down comforter imported internationally-- okay, but really, it's not just the bed! She's homesick too, and worried she'll become the next big international meme for doing something dumb on television, or like, she might die (but that's not as big a concern as the prior worry...) and all of this has made it impossible for her to sleep too. So, as Gyre prowls the hotel's garden, he might start to hear the distinct sound of a woman ugly-crying.

Matilda's found herself a nice little bench to sit at in her ridiculous frilly nightgown, and she's full out sobbing. Choking on her tears, there's some snot involved-- it's full out and it's gross. He might want to run while he can-- oh, wait, she's seen him, and it hasn't stopped her crying.]

Look, Matilda didn't ask for this either, she had been under the impression she'd be riding private first class. That had been the entire So while they aren't quite double booked, she is sitting in the seat next to him, and she is pouting a little bit. So poor Seth has a little bit of reprieve, until she gets sick of pouting, and decides to instead lean into his personal space and peer at his questionnaire.

Re: 2

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth would have let out an 'eep' if he could, but alas, there was no sound as he jumped back slightly, looking pretty pale, though his expression remaining blank.

This was definitely another thing on his growing list of "why him". Having someone sitting right next to him. He was definitely not comfortable. He hadn't gone outside in ages and so this was pretty much the first time in perhaps even over year he'd had to be this close to another person for long periods of time.

Well at least he managed to nervously shake his head so that was something I guess?
scandeled: (grin)

[personal profile] scandeled 2019-01-06 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
If she notices that he didn’t make a single sound she doesn’t seem to notice, continuing to invade his personal space. Her hands are perched on the armrest as she leans over him, peering curiously at it— then she sits back, on her knees in the seat while she faces him. “Oh! I already finished mine, it was so great, like a magazine interview! Isn’t it soooo~ooooo interesting? The whole wide world knows our names now! Our lives have become so illustrious!”
silentwords: (Default)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 08:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth however shook his head again, this time far more vigorously. The whole world knowing their names now wasn't at all fun, or even interesting, really he'd much preferred that people didn't know his name.

He looked anxiously, though to other it likely looked more like a blank staredue to his very poor capabilities of expressing himself, at the questionare, gripping the papers a bit tighter, reading over the few responses he'd managed to write down...that were definitely the polar opposite of himself, describing him as outgoing if not materialistic.

He chewed his cheek as he set the papers down for now, leaning against the seat as he started getting his phone out. There was no way he could focus on the questionare right now, and due to the talkative nature of the woman next to him he had a feeling he'd need his text to speech function in the phone sooner than later.

Dr. Garrot Murtakhor

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-01-06 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[ App here. Will (try to) match commenting styles (and maybe forget)! ]

[ 01 - Awakening ]
[ THUNK! The frozen tofu slammed into the kitchen floor, the doctor's ragged breath barely audible over the hum of the open freezer. This couldn't actually be happening, right? Today, of all days?! Garrot's heart almost beats it way out of his chest as he double- and triple-checks the circumstances.

The kids left twenty minutes ago to see a movie, get arrested, fight crime, whatever, he doesn't want to pry. So this fucking magic monkey shouldn't be here for any of them. Unless they forgot something and turned back and his oldest came back inside and- she's old enough, this could be hers- if it is, maybe she's just pranking him! Yeah, she definitely would, but that'd mean she got back into the house without him noticing which, uh, unlikely. ]


So... [ He addresses the creature, nonchalantly bending over to snatch up that tofu and inelegantly toss it into the freezer. There's a small crash because that's a frozen brick slamming up in there. Then, with the theatrics expected of a cheeseball father of four who moonlights as a professional wrestler, one clawed finger gets pointed right towards his little spirit guide. ]

You're here for me, right? [ The words come out with a bit of a gravelly snarl, and his other hand pushes the freezer door shut and... stays there, almost like it's holding him upright. ] 'Cause if this is a joke and you're here for one of my kids, I-

[ Then there's a look of pain on his face, because he's not sure what he'd do. Also because he'll have to come up with a new dinner plan because he should not be near cooking implements anymore. But... details. ]

[ 04 - Coffee Shoppe ]
Hey!! [ A deep, gruff voice shouts at the barista, who seemed to have failed one hell of a perception check as she disappears into the back for a moment. The voice's owner, an over-seven foot man with claws, fangs, weird ears, and a ridiculous ponytail is wearing an expensive three-piece suit and holding one such Unicorn Frappucino in hand. Left in the lurch, Garrot lets out a very crestfallen sigh. ]

Man, now how is the unicorn supposed to have a sugary-sweet horn if there's no cookie? [ Cue a dejected whimper, like a child. The good doctor is wholly unaware that anyone else is here. ] I paid extra for that cookie, too...

[ 07 - Beach Episode ]
[ As a man of the frigid north, Garrot relishes any and all time he can spend on a warm beach. And without children to keep out of trouble or work meetings to attend, he's like a kid in a candy store! Sporting a pair of dark green board shorts, all those tattoos, a beer, and a surfboard often stuck in the sand nearby means that he looks like he'd rather be surfing than...

a) Building a Sand Castle
With just a few cups and a scalpel, Garrot's spent a fair amount of time in the morning building a sand castle that reaches up to about his knees. Anyone that can get within a few feet of him can hear long, deep breaths. Anyone who looks at his eyes will see them flicker from their normal dark green to a bright teal before some calculated motions add or remove sand from whatever piece of the castle he's building. Occasionally, he'll chuckle about something.

b) Lazing on the Waves
Garrot might have that surfboard, but he's not really using it to surf. In fact, as the afternoon starts to wind down, anyone that goes to check out the man laying down on a surfboard will find that he's... asleep. And snoring like a woodchipper. Someone might want to help him... ]

[ 08 - Local Food ]
[ You happen to walk by to see Garrot seated in a restaurant's courtyard, but as the waitress approaches him, stonefaced like someone who has Seen Too Much, she places something on the table. ]

Oh, wow! [ He's holding a smartphone camera towards himself and sporting a toothy grin, making a few faces and trying to get the angle just right. Garrot's eyes flit to the gelatin mold and his face turns a little green. ] That sure looks like something I, a doctor, am gonna eat on camera! [ It's clear he cannot believe what's about to happen. But then he pokes it gently once and just starts laughing. ]

[ 10 - Wildcard ]
[ Hit me uppppp. ]

3!

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-01-06 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Those are caskets. And that person near them is holding a puppet. This is a bit odd even for him, but since Garrot's looking at someone with a lot of luggage who just arrived, his gut tells him he's probably staring at another Knight. Or maybe the Princess. Or a rich tourist who wants to see monsters?

"You look like you need a hand!" Garrot shouts the words as he starts an approach, intent on getting answers with a smile. The big guy's obviously not hired help since he's in a suit with an outdoors backpack slung over his shoulder and a rolling suitcase lazily dragging behind him.

"That's, uh... a lot of stuff for one person." He laughs awkwardly, eyes darting to the caskets. Don't ask what's inside. Don't ask what's inside! It's rude! "How can I help you?"

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-01-06 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Between their tattoos, their hair, and the small shorts they're both wearing, Gyre and Garrot look... unique. The doctor, however, is looking directly at Gyre from a few feet away, entirely eclipsing the sun's rays across most of the elf's body. Is this intentional? Maybe.]

You, uh... you alright there, pal? [ Garrot's eyes, sporting similarly dark sclera, scan up and down his friend-to-be. The tattoos are awesome and the scars are, uh, worrying from a medical standpoint. But they look cool too. Garrot doesn't want to say that he thinks the guy looks like an awesome video game character, but. He sips his beer and then he's grinning. This is wild. ]

Just sayin', I'm a doctor.

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth can't seem to get a break as he, once again as is almost customary by now, he jumps slightly from being startled when he hears Garrot, before hastily turning around to look at who the voice belonged to.

And uh, let's just say that due to his very large stature and him clearly not being hired help well...it doesn't exactly set him at ease. As much as he'd just like to accept the help, he can't just trust the man right away, he was a man right?

So hesitantly he starts to dig inside his bag for his phone, and the magitech device to take out some specific flowers to hand to the guy. A Marvel of Pery, a sycamore, a red carnation as well as a striped one. He gave the flowers to Garrot before quickly typing on his phone to use the text to speech function.
"Who, exactly are you?"

Here comes anxious boy Seth

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
04. Coffee Shoppe

Seth was struggling at what to do, as when gotten his Unicorn Frappucino, mainly because Marion would bitch at him if he didn't try it now that he had the chance, except his had come with a cookie even though he hadn't paid for it. He'd been anxiously wondering if it'd be okay to just start sipping it anyway, when he heard Garrot shout to the barista and looking dejected...with an Unicorn Frappucino in hand.

Oh boy. Of all the people to get his drinks mixed with...

He very hesitantly started to approach Garrot with his own Unicorn Frappucino in hand, swallowing a bit nervously when he showed it to Garrot, cookie horn and all.
"I think we may have had our orders mixed up." Came a very monotone and rather deep sound from his phone.

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-01-06 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Garrot is a doctor, a man of science, a man of the stage, so he's a little disappointed in himself that he pauses and stares for a second before awkwardly taking the flowers and sliding them into the breast pocket on his suit jacket. It's weird, but it's not that weird. Babies are weirder than this.

"My name's Garrot and, uh-" he blinks for a second, processing the phone doing the talking instead of the person. But then curiosity starts to overtake him. "Do you have a sore throat? I'm a doctor, I could probably take a look at that if you want."

And then his curiosity gets worse. "Wait. Are all those boxes filled with flowers, too? Are you like a florist or something?" Garrot's eyes squint for a second as he glances at his pocket and then speaks with parental-worry kind of urgency as his eyes grow wide. "Do you need these flowers back?!"

[personal profile] daddykong 2019-01-06 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
At first, Garrot had assumed that the voice came from some grown-ass man, with a cookie slapped onto his coffee. Nope. Not at all. So when Seth had showed the Unicorn Frappucino with the horn, the big guy let out a thrilled little gasp and offered the cookie-less drink as a trade.

"Th-thanks. These sorts of things are normally too sweet for me, but I promised I'd try one of these for my daughter, and this," he gestures at the building and the island as a whole, "happened before I had a chance back home. So I'm doing it now." And then he offers a confident thumbs-up.

It sure would be a mood killer for him to mention that he had no way of knowing if he'd survive the coming days, so he just... represses that anxiety and smiles like nothing's wrong.
silentwords: (Default)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
At first Seth wasn't sure how to respond to the slew of question that followed after the response to his own...

But miraculously how genuine Garrot was and his curiosity managed to actually somewhat easy Seth's anxiety, not feeling too threatened by him now. Sure he was still a bit intimidated as Garrot was over a foot taller than him, but he felt a little bit more comfortable talking to him now, in his own way.

"No, no, you can keep them, I have many more stored. Though no, I'm not a florist and...they're not filled with flowers. My name is Seth, and I... I make puppets. Just like Miriel here." He briefly motioned to the puppet he was holding onto, in very good condition but still clearly an older one, before continuing to type into the text to speech function. "And well... I'm mute." He kind of awkwardly made a few signs with his hand to make a point. "But not many know sign language so..."
silentwords: (Default)

[personal profile] silentwords 2019-01-06 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Seth more than gladly takes the order he was meant to receive, nodding slightly in acknowledgement, as he began to type into his phone again.

"No problem. I was wondering why my order had a cookie on it, and when I heard you shout I...kind of figured we had our orders mized up. I'm not too much for fancy drinks either...I don't get out much but, I know Marion would tear me a new one if I didn't try one out now that I'm actually outside for once...and likely will be for the foreseeable future..." Even with the monotone voice from his phone and how blank Seth's face was, he still managed to look a bit dejected at the idea of being outside.

But god that voice really didn't fit him. Especially how deep it was did not at all match the thin and lanky barely 6 foot Seth.

Terrence's brow raises slightly as the passenger signs at him, recognizing the motions in general but not actually understanding them. Still, the man seemed to both hear and comprehend him before. The rabbit knight seats himself and offers his best 'I really don't mind' smile.

"I apologize, but I'm not fluent in sign," he states, leaning forward and extending one hand. "Terrence; pleased to meet you. I hope you don't mind if I talk enough for the both of us..?"

Honestly, it was kind of nice not being recognized.

Haizea

[personal profile] tropicalstorm 2019-01-07 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
(here is app for your convenience)

1) AWAKENING

It had started out as such a lovely morning.

Haizea had come down to the communal kitchen that morning and found not one, not two, but ALL SEVEN of the kids she was currently looking out for waiting for her. The youngest was about 11 and hurting, the oldest 17 and on track to go to university. One of them had made a huge stack of pancakes, which Haizea was thankful for since she didn't have a single clue how to make them herself.

Halfway through the morning, her second in command, a man named Reggie who'd been part of her gang since they were kids, suddenly burst into the kitchen, looking panicked, and Haizea sits up very straight indeed.

"Zea, there's uh. In the lobby, there's. There's a dragon." He finally manages, and Haizea feels her blood run cold.

"Which one are they here for?" She asks, quickly trying to think if there's a way, any way, she can get her kids out and away from all this.

"Zea....... it's you. They want you."

And Haizea is not sure she's ever felt more surprised in her entire life. Her? The dragon wants her? Why? Why now? But she doesn't have long to question things before the dragon follows Reggie into the kitchen.

2) ON THE PLANE

To anyone unfortunate enough to be assigned seat 7A, or even 7B or 7C, you'll have to deal with a very sleepy Haizea who has currently sprawled out across all three seats. It's kind of impressive actually, she's not especially tall but is managing to take up a stupendous amount of space. And if you were to get close enough to her to smell without touching her, you'd definitely catch a whiff of alcohol on her breath.

The last hurrah of a party her gang threw her before she had to leave was QUITE an experience, you can probably catch the aftermath of it on the local news at 6pm that night.

7) BEACH EPISODE

Literally anyone at the beach will have a hard time missing Haizea. The moment she gets close enough to see the shore, she takes off towards it at a sprint, hollering loudly. Once she gets a bit close, she starts ripping off her clothes, first her jacket, then kicks off her boots and has to kind of hop out of her jeans. In one surprisingly careful moment, she pulls the ribbon out her hair, tucks it into the pocket of her jacket, and then immediately runs directly into the ocean.

This is 100% why she literally always wears a one piece swimsuit under her jeans and jacket, lord she loves to swim. Pools are fun, but the ocean is her favorite. As soon as it's deep enough, she dives in and stays underwater for a surprisingly long amount of time before surfacing quite far out to sea. She stays out there for at least 20 minutes or so before she lets the waves carry her back to the shore and she washes up on the beach, just laying in the surf, breathing heavy but smiling widely.

Haizea is also outside, but she's just sitting and staring at the moon. There's a lot on her mind, but she catches sight of Seth pacing anyways. When she notices he's signing though, that's when she gets up and starts heading towards him. She waves to get his attention, then carefully, with one hand, starts signing at him.

"H - E - L - L - O" she mutters to herself as she spells out the sign. She hopes she remembers this, she never got the hang of full signing but she memorized the alphabet at least.

Haizea remembered a little late that she actually probably shouldn't just..... leave her street clothes lying around while she swims? But who can she pawn them off on.......... wait, wasn't that guy a knight too? Let's find out!

"Hey there! Can I ask ya to keep an eye on my shit for a bit? Just don't want nobody thinkin' that they can just walk off with it, I like this jacket a lot." She plops the clothing down nearby Gyre without waiting for a response then just kinda gestures to all of him.

"Cool tattoos, by the by."
