MONTHLY TEST-DRIVE!

[nukeoleptic]

THE TEST DRIVE MEME

• Got a character you're thinking of reserving/apping this round? PUT THEM HERE! • Threads here can count as your third person sample! • Comment with your character's name and canon! • This is open to everyone! Also, test drivers can tag other test drivers. :) • Make up your own scenario or have them walk into all the doors or leave it blank for others to do it for you! • OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, they may realize that Asgard is, for the moment, completely overrun with furry animals! The city's natives are busy trying to herd cats and dogs out of the streets, the park is thronged with friendly and curious rabbits, and a small army of capybaras seems to have started a parade around the castle. Something is going on -- the natives seem exasperated as anything. Help them out? Adopt a ferret? Try to wade through goats to make it to your welcome house? At least they're non-aggressive.. for now! Make sure to have fun, and as always, feel free to hit the mods or players up with any questions you might have! ♥

Princess Aurora || Disney's Sleeping Beauty

[cursedtosleep]

[Having pricked her finger, Aurora wasn't sure if she was dead. Some part of her was sure this was Maleficent's doing but this place and those who called themselves gods was... Well she wasn't really sure what to expect. Regardless, this felt like the forest with so many animals. She longed for her own friends, for her aunts... for that peasant boy. She didn't know when or even if she would see them again. The last she knew was to be denied to her as she was to marry the prince.

Aurora was strolling along and paused when so many cats and rabbits and birds were just running around. She had never been in a town before, much less a city. She looked up as ab owl was watching her closely.]

Why hello there. [Aurora meant for the address to be towards the owl, however it was easy to mistake her greeting to any passerby.]

Alvin | Tales of Xillia

[trustexercises]

"Right, gotta hand it to those maids. This is the most interesting definition of a war that I've ever heard," Alvin says after a while. He's been walking around for a good fifteen minutes or so, but "walking around" isn't as easy as he'd like it to be. There are animals everywhere he goes, and while he's made enough cats jokes about Jude and Milla, he somehow feels like he did something to deserve the real thing.

Oh, wait. He did.

Alvin pauses and rubs at the back of his neck, temporarily bemused. "Well, I figure it's one way or another. You either gotta adopt one or try and force 'em on someone else. Well, what do you say?" He turns toward the person walking closest to them, as if they wanted to be in on this conversation the entire time. Well, clearly they did, right?

Alvin certainly thinks so.

Hanji Zoe | Attack on Titan

[titanscience]

[After the whole deal with the grey maids, Hanji was left to go out into the world and explore the city. She still has no damn clue what is even going on, but figures the best course of action would be to search for any fellow members of the survey corps. After all she hadn't been alone, therefore it would make no sense for her to be the only one brought into this place.

Instead though, all she finds are.. rabbits. A lot of rabbits. Rabbits that were cute at first, but now they seem to be following her.]

Eh? Ehhhhh?!

h.g. wells | warehouse 13

[mirabilis]

[ This wasn't the place, and it was far from right. She had the trident, and she'd been on her way to Yellowstone National Park. Except Helena hadn't ended up there, not unless a castle was something that had been built in her years bronzed.

The explanation that she'd received had sounded far more bizarre than waking up in 2010 after over 100 years 'asleep', and that was coming from a science fiction writer and Warehouse agent. And a time traveller.

Although, if she let it settle in rather than brush it off for disrupting her plans Helena might not have found it so bad. Or odd. There was something to be done, and had, even if small animals were currently overrunning the streets.

It was an almost obstacle course trying to make her way through the streets, but Helena was curious to see where she'd been brought, and what there was. If there was something she could do - make a change, or even strike a bargain then she'd try. She had a plan to return to, and it needed to happen ]

[clean_cut_corporal]

[ Hanji wasn't the only one to have found themselves in this, strange, new world. Her Lance-corporal was also there, finding the rabbits a nuisance also. ]

I doubt its anything special. Its not just you they are following.

[He said, as he came to walk up beside her. Giving a light booting push to one of the overzealous rabbits by his feet. ]

Levi || Attack on Titan

[clean_cut_corporal]

[ There was nothing about this situation he'd found himself in, that was comfortable. The maids for one, Levi found them very disturbing, he didn't like the fact they were trying to touch him, let alone attach a strange dirty bracelet on his wrist. However, once explained to him the importance of such a bangle, Levi sighed and allowed it.

With brows furrowed into a deep set knot, he glanced around. No giant walls, no Titan's either... And not a familiar face in sight. Infact, the only thing he could see, were various animals. Some he recognized and others he'd not seen since many years ago.

He wasn't exactly pleased about said animals though and the moment a rather friendly cat took to rubbing itself up against his leg, he only frowned deeper. ]

Shove off! Tch I need a broom ...

[ Waving and shooing at the feline, just as a curious dog trot over, opening it slavering jaws and gave the lance-corporal a long friendly lick to the back of his hand. Of course this made Levi cringe, staring down at his drool covered hand in utter disgust. ]

... And a clean cloth.

Tenth Doctor - Doctor Who

[timelordee]

Well now I've seen everything...

[Here he is. The Doctor. A bloody Time Lord. Stuck and powerless to do much of anything in such a place. And to top it off, he's kinda stuck in the park between a heard of goats trying to eat his coat stoppit goat, that is his favorite! and a flock of bunnies that won't move.]

Blimey, and I thought the RatRace of the Thatsadorian System in 2417 was bad. [So, it'll be a funny scene as he attempts to not step on bunnies and--] Stop that! I like this coat! Not like I got the TARDIS to change anymore! [Huffhuff. Rude, goat. Rude. >8(.]

[Oh. Saying that kind of brings it to reality, doesn't it? In a way, he'd hoped he'd banged his brilliant little noggin and was dreaming. The Doctor will let out a heavy sigh. Someone please help this poor sod out of this bunny forest. Before they bunny sniff him to death.]

Giselle | Enchanted

[myheartsduet]

[She's fidgeting nervously with the bracelet as she walks, using her off-hand to circle the band around and around her wrist. Another world. Another set of rules to get used to, another chance to get dirty and hurt and make a fool of herself. And no Robert. No Robert, and no Morgan.]

[Not even Edward. She'd gladly take Edward right about now, and that's saying something.]

[Her glum mood doesn't last for long, however. After all, the new city she's come to seems to be overrun with small, furry critters, and Giselle does love small, furry critters. She stops fidgeting with her bracelet and almost squeals with delight (okay, DOES squeal with delight--just a little) as a white ferret scampers up and stops in front of her.]

Why hello there! Aren't you just the cutest thing...

[She pauses right in the middle of the road and crouches down to get closer to eye-level with the ferret. Is she talking to you? Did you happen to trip over her as she stopped?]

Elphaba Thropp | Wicked

[unnaturallygreen]

[She is not in Oz anymore. That much, Elphaba's managed to figure out from just a few minutes here. For one thing, there's a lack of people screaming and running away from her in terror, which is a relief, really. The very fact that she isn't in Oz anymore is less of a relief, and knowing that she's been pulled here to fight some war just makes it worse. And anyway, how can she fight a war if she can't cast spells?

At least there's an abundance of animals running around. Granted, it doesn't look like any of them can understand her, but still.

She's currently sitting on a park bench, her distinctive hat pulled low, absently petting a white cat as she rereads the letter and the "guide", her expression tense. Occasionally the cat lets out a purr, and she glances at it with a half-smile before she turns her attention back to her letter.]

Crowley || Good Omens

[exserpens]

[The first thing he does, once out of sight of the castle, is duck onto someone's front steps and pull out his mobile. It's sleek and black and top-of-the-line for 2008, and he's got the number for Down Below on speed dial. Not that he's expecting this to work--but then again, if he were expecting this to work, he wouldn't be dialing Down Below anyway.]

[Sure enough, nothing. Nada. Not even the recorded message telling him how important his call is, and someone will be with him momentarily, thank you. (He'd thought that one up, by the by.) Slightly more panicked, he tries the angel's shop line.]

[Nothing. Bloody he- er. Bloody somewhere.]

[He slips the mobile back into the pocket of his suit jacket and rakes a hand through his hair. What now?]

[trustexercises]

Oh, me? Thanks! Well, to tell you the truth, I actually hear that a lot.

[It's not that Alvin isn't sharp enough to realize that she definitely hadn't been speaking to him, but he can't pass up on the opportunity to have some fun with it. ... Then again, being compared to that animal isn't exactly the height of fun for him. It's a bit too close to what he figures some people would see him as.

Then again, clean slate. No one knows that here. Easy going!]

[2cool4guardian]

[A mobile? Now that's a sight Jack hasn't seen in a while. And not only that, the man actually tries to use it. Jack chuckles from his post on a windowstill, ready to do some teasing.]

Dunno if you noticed, but you aren't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. [The change of the name in the quote was totally in purpose, thank you.]

[myheartsduet]

[She looks up, blushing slightly.]

Oh, hello.

[Rather than rush to stand, she waits just long enough for the ferret to scamper up her arms and perch on her shoulder before straightening back up. At least the animals in this place seem to like her. It's familiar, and comforting, in its own small way.]

[She gives him an embarrassed smile.]

I'm sorry, I didn't realize anyone was standing there. Are you... new here too?

[sexyoldgirl]

[A woman steps up outside of his animal trap to pick up one of the bunnies. She may hold it awkwardly (she's never held one before) but it's gentle and caring.]

Even if she was here, she wouldn't be able to replace that coat. Joplin doesn't just hand them out to just anyone.

[Then she tilts her head curiously.]

What would you even say to explain that to her? 'A goat ate the other coat' just sounds rubbish.

[unnaturallygreen]

And hello to you too.

[Elphaba's somewhat distracted right now, rewatching the post that came with the guide. She doesn't spare a glance upward from her bracelet to Aurora as she speaks.]

[fantastix]

Try milking them. I don't think they'll like that, not with your hands.

[He has been in this situation before. Which is why he mostly finds this hilarious.]

[exserpens]

[Crowley glares, though he's careful to do so from behind the ever-present sunglasses rather than over top of them, as he'd like to do. There's no telling what sort of reaction his eyes would produce, even if the rest of him is near enough to human in appearance. (In actuality now as well, he grimaces inwardly.) The result, of course, is that he appears to give Jack a rather blank look.]

Does that make you a flying monkey?

Re: Elphaba Thropp | Wicked

[fantastix]

It's really not all that much to know, is it?

[And there's a big-eared man in a coat, arms crossed over his chest as he watches the woman and the cat. Curious. She looks just like a classic witch, but it's best not to assume.]

[unnaturallygreen]

It's a lot to take in, though. [She looks up now to meet the man's eyes.] I take it you're more experienced in this matter than I am.

[2cool4guardian]

[No need to worry, Jack can sense that glare. It's the kind of reaction he usually gets, after all. And funny thing, this "being human now"...]

Flying? [He snorts.] I wish I still could. But the higher-ups don't exactly like letting us be how we're supposed to be. Lost anything else besides signal?

[trustexercises]

Do I have a new guy smell about me or something?

[He actually pauses to obnoxiously sniff the air in jest.]

For what it's worth—you don't. Maybe it's a guy thing.

[Alvin easily shrugs, not giving much more thought to it. He knows he's been working out this place, but he likes to not look that lost. Then again, he mastered the world of Rieze Maxia just so that he could act like he knew everything.

Oh, and just so he'd have less problems. No one's gonna trust a mercenary who doesn't seem like he fits right in.]

I'm Alvin. New guy meeting new girl. Aren't we lucky?

[timelordee]

[JOPLIN. Now there's a name he hasn't heard in a while! It brings back a little smile because seriously. Seriously.]

Rubbish, that's for sure. [He shakes his head, turning his look skyward.] I think I'd rather live without it than try and explain it.

[But. There's always that liiiittle tiiiiny detail of HOW THE HECK DID YOU KNOW THAT? Play it cool though Doctor. This is a new place, and rules are different here.]

What I want to know is how you might've come across that bit of information. Not like many people were there and all. [:D...]

[fantastix]

Not as much as you'd might think.

I've done a fair bit of travelling, me, but not like this.

Not stuck---not since that one imprisonment a few centuries ago, but that's ages.

Blaine Anderson | Glee

[justlove]

[To say that all of this is a little confusing would be an understatement.

The explanation he got was straightforward enough, but that didn't mean he wasn't feeling a little bit of disbelief. Things like this just didn't happen to him, or anyone that he knew and hung out with.

But here he was, stuck in a place filled with gods and who knows what else. He didn't think he could be blamed for walking around with a wide-eyed, surprised expression on his face.

This was definitely going to take some getting used to.]

[sexyoldgirl]

[Ever so gently she uses her foot to send the bunnies moving so that there's a path to a clear space for him.]

Thought as much. You'd be much better off not letting them eat it at all.

[The same way she knows everything. But she can't help but give him a knowing smile.]

I was around. I'm always around.
