DECEMBER 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! Reserves are here, and open on November 24th at 12:01AM CST. Application information (including the list of pending apps) is here, and they open on December 1st at 12:01AM CST. OPTIONAL SCENARIO: After your character receives his or her bracelet and the run-down from the faceless maids in the castle, they walk out to find the city blanketed with snow and in the middle of what seems to be a snowball war organized by the Native children! Be careful on your way to your Welcome House: snowballs are flying, and these groups of giggling kids don't seem to care who gets caught in the crossfire. Make sure to have fun, and as always, feel free to hit the mods or players up with any questions you might have! ♥

hey bb

[sharingone]

[Walking through the city.

It's gotten cold, colder than it ever would in Fire Country and he kinda hates it. There is SNOW everywhere and some of it's melting and ninja sandals have suddenly become the stupidest footwear known to man.

Actually maybe he is out right now looking for shoes or something, but whatever was going on has been forgotten because he's stood in the street, watching a familiar pink haired girl chuck snowballs at little kids

das my girl]

Sakura.

Woooooo

[kuramaless]

I know--

[He sighs, pulls a few face whilst he thinks about what's actually going on her, and finally settles on something like a smile - even if it is vague.]

We can't though, you know? I mean, a bunch of people've tried but it's like they say yeah? Until we get all the colour back and end the-- war stuff here, we ain't goin' anywhere.

[He shrugs, lets his hands swings by his sides and takes another look around.]

It ain't that bad here--

Welcome Hall? Er, nah, I was in the middle of a snowball fight.

heyyyyy >:3c

[slugly]

[Ninja footwear was already pretty dumb, lbr. Luckily, Sakura's war gear is a lot warmer than her usual skirt, short, boots, red top combo.

Oh crap, someone here knows her name. The snowball she had been ready to chuck slides out of her hand as fast as the smile slides off her face.

And she spins around to see

WELL THAT'S EVEN LESS EXPECTED THAN RANDOM SNOWBALLS THAT HIT HER

Although this could be like a giant snowball hitting her because hello

sasuke]

S... Sasuke-kun?

choooooochoo

[slugly]

[She still doesn't understand how Naruto knows all this but is 100% certain if she asks she will just get even more frustrated so she doesn't. ALONG WITH EVERYTHING ELSE, she figures she'll understand in due time

Snowball fights WERE preferable over life or death situations at home, it's true]

... You didn't throw those snowballs at me earlier, did you?

Tweeeeet twwwweeeeeeeet

[kuramaless]

[No one understands it, really. Sasuke least of all, and he's still hell bent on finding a way to get back home despite the things they know having been here for this long.

All his thoughts sort of come to a stop with the accusation though, and his mouth works for a moment before he slowly shakes his head, spinning around and pointing to-- the children that aren't there anymore.]

Uh--

how u doin

[sharingone]

[And now comes that part which always happens. Where he has to figure out a person's last memories before showing up in the city, and their reactions can be vastly different depending on where they are in relation to him.

He steps closer.]

I'm guessing you arrived here today. From the war? [He hopes at least, that makes things a little easier. Perhaps.]

rockin robin

[slugly]

[SUDDENLY DOESNT FEEL BAD FOR GETTING HIM WITH ONE EARLIER though she hardly felt bad at all in the first place snowballs are a lot softer than Sakura's punches

she follows his finger and then just raises an eyebrow at him

YOU WERE SAYING?]

[unchain]

[pretty much nailed that one right on the head there, cowboy.]

Fair enough. [Elizabeth starts to swing her arms while they walk.] What kind of world are you from? [never ending questions with this one.]

'cause we're really gonna rock tonight~~~~

[kuramaless]

[HEY THAT WAS TOTALLY NOT HIM. NOT HIM AT ALL! WHY WOULD HE?

He glances back at beautiful radiant wonderful Sakura laughing awkwardly.]

Guess they er, ran away or something.

better now ;)

[slugly]

[Sakura's reaction will probably ALWAYS be the same, along with Naruto's

She doesn't step back but she is a little wary, heart beating quickly

DOKI DOKI SASUKE is he making small talk with her]

You just said you wanted to be Hokage.

[that's all she can remember right now, faced with the second person on her team with this dream]

hehehehe

[slugly]

[BECAUSe HE'S NARUTO AND A PRANKSTER AND WOULD DO THAT THING and you're sweet talking will not work nope

well, at least she got him back already]

You probably scared them off.

B)

[sharingone]

[Ah, he remembers that. She's from around the same time as he and Naruto. Within minutes, actually.]

I meant it.

[You know. Like literally everything else he has ever said. But okay. This makes things easier.]

We're trapped here for now. We haven't found a way back and our chakra is sealed. [He doesn't look too happy about that. This would be a lot simpler if he could do something.]

[hisstrength]

[She considers her options. But offer or no offer, she's already got a map and a destination.]

I'm already headed somewhere.

[The welcome hall, obviously. Plus, you know, following strangers home? Really not on the agenda. Not everyone's Abnegation.]

Besides, I'm not sure you have answers everyone else doesn't.

[She taps her bracelet.]

hahahaha >_>

[kuramaless]

[HE WOULD NOT. He-- would not.

Sweet talking seems to be working though, doesn't it?]

... Er, maybe.

[Or maybe it was you. Who throws snowballs in people's faces at point blank?]

Hey er, which house did you say you were in?

[hisstrength]

[Tris turns around very quickly when she hears the snowball impact on something not far behind her. Nobody should be sneaking up on her like that... or perhaps she really should pay more attention. What's that word though? She frowns up at him, curious.

And shrugs.]

It's just snow.

[Unless there's some actual threat somewhere she's unaware of so far. Hmm.]

i was like WHAT CANT HELP WHAT

[slugly]

[okay sas okay

He definitely does. That's why it's so hard to swallow. hurhur

Sasuke never looks happy but Sakura isn't too PLEASED either with everything all crazy.]

... You've been here longer than I have, haven't you?

[slugly]

[ONLY WHEN YOU SAY SHE'S MORE WOMANLY

sakura does but that was your own fault!!]

I didn't.

[kuramaless]

[Sakura is very womanly. Veeeery womanly. Look at her... womanly hair, and forehead and-- yup.]

Oh. Yeah right.

Which one you in?

[slugly]

[NOT FOREHEADLKJKLgjdsslgkjs

yeah, which house mun lol

Sakura looks upwards thoughtfully]

Thor.

[FOR NOW because it makes mun laugh]

[kuramaless]

[YES FOREHEAD. ALWAYS FOREHEAD. LOOK AT IT. IT'S JUST THERE.

which house indeed. lawl.

News that she's in Thor however, makes him visibly swallow.

Mun is cruel. SHE DOESN'T BELONG IN THOR.]

Oh--

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

"I'm afraid so. I was awoken here within this very hour." Brushing away the snow had done little to alleviate the damp that had seeped through to drench his clothes, but Horatio couldn't bring himself to be too open about his discomfort. Surely he'd embarrassed himself enough for one day. Instead, he held his arms stiffly at his sides, "I am glad of your acquaintance, all the same. Lieutenant Horatio Hornblower, at your service, Sir."

There are going to be a lot of Sir's in this soup...

y because he's worth it. also it works best against azkaban stank.

[doggedly]

[There are Knights of Walpurgis--Death Eaters, whatever the hell they're calling themselves--that could, by force, have found out some of that information. The thought makes Sirius feel sick, but he doesn't allow it to take any real root, just translates it into the tightness of his jaw, his clenched fists, his narrowed eyes--he's suspicious, obviously, she knows far too much.

But he does snort, once, when she says that Remus has a problem with nights.]

'A problem with nights'. You really are good with words, aren't you.

[And all right, maybe it makes him soft-hearted, but when she steps in close and gives him that look--wary, hopeful--it's harder to maintain his mutinous expression. She might have learnt it by force, and she might be a really good little actress, or operating under some curse--you can't be too careful these days, right--but... Merlin. Maybe he wants to trust her, because she knows so much, and she's so willing to offer proof--someone lying would insist on their word alone, right, they wouldn't be so stupid as to offer to contact James or Lily (whatever a text is). Maybe because he doesn't know where the hell he is, not really, and anyone that knows James and Lily is at least--a starting point.

All right. So. He unclenches his hands, anyway, rubs one over his mouth like he's got to clear it off. It's more a gesture of tension than anything else.]

Look, beyond a book, I don't know what a 'text' is, all right, so don't-- bother with that. Anyway, I don't want you running off before we've finished. [He gives her another once-over, his gaze a little more searching this time. Still a fit girl, still a fit girl that knows about him, but now a fit girl that knows a great deal about him and is, apparently, a time-traveler.] Who told you, about-- Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs? Let's start there.

[slugly]

[OMFG U R DEAD TO ME

MUN IS A TROLL

she notes his reaction]

What's wrong?

[kuramaless]

[THE TROLLIEST.

WHAT. SHE CAN'T NOTE IT. There is no paper. :| Does she even have a pen????]

Ah- nothin' nothin'! I'm in Freya, Sasuke's in Hel. Er, Gaara's got his own place an' Itachi's in Heimdall...

[TOPIC CHANGE. TOPIC CHANGE.]

[hedoesntrow]

Don't expect you to believe shit, pal. Just telling you what might've happened. [He shrugs, knowing stubbornness when he sees it. Not that he can blame you, Joel. If he'd been separated from Elizabeth by being brought here, Booker would have torn Asgard apart to find her.]

They aren't interested in giving us explanations, that I've seen. Decent enough place, though. Wherever your kid is, she's probably doing fine.
