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! ♥

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?

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.]

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]

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.]

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?

sobs

[sharingone]

Three months.

[Three whole months. And they are still no closer to resolving this mess, to getting back home.

He should have dealt with it by now.]

Naruto's here too. Kakashi showed up a few weeks ago. [There's sort of a snort after that though. Fuck Kakashi and his trolling.]

STILL CRYING

[slugly]

[Three... months. Her head hurts. She'll figure it out later. Sasuke is talking to her normally and that DEMANDS attention. ALL OF THE ATTENTION.

Next topic.

A snort is very Sasuke-esque. Old Sasuke. She can't help the way the corners of her mouth pull up slightly.]

And he's acting like his usual self?

DRIES UR TEARS

[sharingone]

If you mean he's acting like a dick, then yeah.

[Do something about your team leader, you two. And yes that is what he meant, since he still doesn't really count himself in that.]

[He assumes she means Kakashi anyway. To be honest he could say the same for Naruto too :T]

THANK

[slugly]

[he is so counted you can't escape

But she left it open for interpretation.

That makes her smother her smile. If he is acting... in that way and Kakashi (or Naruto) is still breathing then that actually means positive things. Right?]

Not exactly.

[still ONE WAY to put it]

gonna behave for a bit

[sharingone]

Then what?

[What did you meeeean Sakura.]

:>

[slugly]

I only mean that's not the word I would use.

[sensei is just sensei

except this is weird for her talking about Kakashi like things are normal again

a part of her just. doesn't know what to think. but she's trying ok]

:> :>

[sharingone]

[Yeah, he figures as much.

Urgh lets not talk about Kakashi.]

I'm over in Hel.

[Which means he is expecting to be told where she was placed without, y'know, actually ASKING.]

:>>>>>

[slugly]

[Good thing Sakura can speak some Sasuke-ese, although she's PRETTY rusty.]

I was told I was in Thor.

[Naruto seemed pretty nervous about it for some reason....]

I was on my way to the Welcoming Hall before I--

Before a few kids hit me with some snowballs. It's a nice change.

:>>>

[sharingone]

[Thor.. like that Karui girl. The house with ridiculous strength. From what he'd seen briefly at home, Sakura can pack a powerful punch and it seems as though she might get the chance to keep it.

He doesn't really respond to it, though he makes a mental note. Luckily he isn't assuming he will be on the receiving end of her fist.]

I guess if you find that sort of thing entertaining. [He certainly does not. Luckily they haven't dared throw one at him yet.]

:3cccc

[slugly]

[If he plays his cards right...]

Compared to what's going on at home.

[and there's really SO MUCH she wants to ask about home and his choices and why he wants to be Hokage but this doesn't feel like the right time]

[sharingone]

Yeah.

[Which reminds him. One of his favourite Asgard hobbies happens to be shooting down any grand ideas that the Gods are doing them a favour or that they actually belong here. That this is their problem.]

They keep harping on about how we can't go back until we win this war for them. But nothing's happening. [He says that NOW..]

[slugly]

[HERE WE GO.

Sakura had been thinking about this a lot in her walk from that nicely decorated grey room to the outside. It's not their problem but if it WAS real then even if they defeated Obito and Madara and saved the world, they had this problem too.]

That prophecy. Do you think it's true?

[sharingone]

That we need to win the war to save our world?

[He actually pauses for a second, and there is a deep sigh as he thinks on it.]

...There is no proof, either way.

[He doesn't want to believe it, really doesn't, but with the way things are going it looks as though they have no choice.]

[slugly]

I guess not.

[She smiles at him in that FAKE sorta way she does sometimes.]

It does sound like the way home though.

[sharingone]

Yeah, except there's a war with no real army. Not real leadership. Work around that.

[He doesn't really mean to snap at you Sakura but it is ridiculous from a Ninja point of view. If they are meant to be at war they shouldn't just be fucking around here.]

[slugly]

[she doesn't know it yet and while she might have flinched from Sasuke's tone before now she narrows her eyes slightly

besides she doubts SASUKE can really follow any leader unless it's a wife]

We're bringing color and life back to the bleak, to change a pre-destined outcome.

Does that need an army? Leadership? We know what needs to be done.

[... right? by the end of it she sounds so UNSURE because why would Sasuke be mad

maybe that he doesn't have many feelings to share.....]

[sharingone]

This city is at war. The enemy can strike again at any time.

[Nobody knows when. He has already witnessed it.

He died because of it.]

[slugly]

[srs time

All she had been told so far is that it's her duty to bring color back to Asgard, nothing beyond that-]

... What enemy?

[and why did that maid decide to leave THAT out]

[sharingone]

Some woman named Thiazi, she rules one of the other kingdoms.

[Yeah they do a good job of not mentioning that when you arrive how about that]

[slugly]

[Outside of Asgard, he must mean.

maid also failed to mention kingdoms exist OUTSIDE Asgard but whatevs]

Is she the one making Asgard the way it is?

[look they are being ninjas]
