DECEMBER TEST DRIVE

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! ♥

That's something else. But she's attacked several times in the months I have been here. Infiltration mostly, with spies and genjutsu-typed attacks.

[Serious ninja stuff is the shit he does best after all. It's important though because they don't tell you shit when you first get here.]

[THEY REALLY DON'T Sakura was probably going to go out and gather intel after checking in on the Welcoming Hall

Maybe she'll just hang around Sasuke in the snow HAHA THATS NOT WEIRD AT ALL RIGHT where's Naruto then they could be Team 7 doing ninja things. she was taken too soon from her canon they just got together again]

For what purpose?

[Yeah this is not weird and slightly awkward at all.

Could be worse tho]

She's the enemy. The one who's supposedly for helping cause Ragnorak. [That whole universe destruction thingy]

[THEY'RE TRYING or she is. she doesn't know about Sasuke and ninja talk was a hell of a lot easier than

anything else

but it's still a lot of guessing and not knowing and she wants to look into it more before she has any sort of discussion where she could look stupid. she especially didn't want to look stupid in front of Sasuke even if he knew she JUST got here and wouldn't know a lot

FOR NOW at least she has a heads up that this wasn't going to be easy as she thought. what was, anyway? she could also be on the lookout]

So... Hokage...

[NOT AWKWARD AT ALL]

That's quite a change.

[Oh are they coming back to this.

okay.]

I have my reasons.

[That he can say but its sort of weird being out in the snow with little kids running around still.]

[do you want to go somewhere more quiet Sasuke

Sakura honestly can't think of anything else at the moment as it was one of the last things that was said before she was here. outside her small speech about how she wasn't a weak woman and she was just as harshly trained as the two of them]

I'm sure you do.

[she says it quietly and doesn't push it even though she's SO VERY curious

Naruto took it seriously enough]

Did you plan on joining the snowball fight, too? [She bends down to scoop up some more snow, packing it into a ball]

[He's walking.

You come too Sakura.]

No. It's childish.

[THANKS FOR THE INVITE

but she falls into step easily beside him like it's the most natural thing ever though it has been FOREVER AND A YEAR. she's still a little cautious but it doesn't override Sakura's inherent need to be with teammate]

It looks fun.

[might be teasing but also sincere

she wouldn't have tried to join otherwise]

[It's dumb standing out in the cold like this. He hates it.

And he didn't invite her but sort of suspected she would follow anyway, but it's okay. Going to step into the tea shop that it is conveniently just down the street idk.]

I'm leaving. Stay and throw snow at people if you wish.

[IT'S TEMPTING

FOLLOWING OK SHE CAN GO TO WELCOMING HALL LATER, after one small glance back to the kids who are playing in the snow and a small smile, remembering a time when Team 7 would have stayed a bit longer and they could even talk Sasuke into lobbing a few snowballs.

They would have devised a plan to ambush Kakashi, most likely. It would backfire and she would have to watch Sasuke and Naruto pelt each other with snowballs before she got angry and made a SNOWBOULDER. And thinking about it is bittersweet. Her heart hurts because Sasuke's new attitude reminds her she can't have those days back.

BUT SHE CAN'T LEAVE HIS SIDE. NOT YET. She looks around curiously at the tea shop, inhaling and reveling in the new warmth because HER FACE still stings with cold, apparent in her red nose and cheeks. A warm cup of some drink actually sounds really good but--]

I don't have any money...

[she murmurs it to herself]

[He opens the door to the place, stepping inside and letting his arm hang on the door so that it doesn't smash into her face or anything.

It's warm in here at least.]

It's annoying, but I guess I'll have to pay for yours too.

[It's not really meant in a mean way though, just that Sasuke way. In his months here when he wasn't busy being so angry at people he had at least learned to be a little considerate towards those around him.

It was a slow process, rebuilding any sort of familiarity with any of them, but it was happening. Gradually.]

Pick what you want.

[regularly that sort of thing would make her go into a tizzy about HOW SASUKE-KUN IS SUCH A GENTLEMAN KYA but she just gives him a grateful, tired smile after her obvious initial surprise. It's the sort of surprise someone would expect when the person opposite is someone she loves very much and had almost killed her the last she saw him

not annoying enough though, she guesses. and she would comment but she feels like they're walking on thin ice already]

Thanks. I promise to pay you back when I get the chance.

[she feels like it needs to be said, IF tHAT'S WHAT BOTHErS HIM she doesn't know anymore sob. but he's actually offering to buy her tea? THAT's.... THAT'S SOMETHING. she doesn't know if she can trust it but it's something and she will watch carefully in case it's poisoned

she orders a sweet tea that looks pretty appetizing? and once their tea is ordered she breaks the new silence with something else that's bothered her.]

I don't understand how you can be here for three months. You just--

[A pause while she gathers the right words, she doesn't want to say something that will turn him away or annoy him or WORSE CANCEL HER TEA]

I just saw you on the battlefield.

[ITS YOUR FIRST DAY THIS ONE IS A FREEBIE OK

USUALLY YOU GOTTA WORK FOR IT.

He makes a small sound in acknowledgement, though he isn't going be demanding she pay her back at any time. He orders some sort of black tea for himself and pays for the two, moving off to the side as they wait for it to be made.

Also wow SO RUDE lucky he can't hear that poisoning thought.]

It's just how it happens. Like some sort of space-time jutsu. We all remember different events, that Gaara doesn't even know about the war. My brother is here.

[He can't explain how it works, only the effects. He can't say what happens once you return either, but..]

Kakashi's memories are further ahead than mine. Somehow we can be there and here at the same time.

[WELL SHE TRIED TO POISON HIM TOO...

THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS THE HEALTHIEST

She stands beside him and looks at bit longingly at the little tables with chairs. CAN'T THEY SIT DOWN?

There's a sharp intake of breath, body stiffening. Itachi is here. Her eyes study him VERY VERY carefully from the corner of her eyes but he doesn't seem... to mind. Not enough that she can tell there's a reaction. As far as she knows FOR SURE, he still hates Itachi. But after her chat with Naruto in the Land of Iron, she thinks something is going on.

And now, that idea solidifies even more. Also, wasn't Itachi DEAD? By Sasuke's hand, on top of that. She stares down at her fingers, misses her gloves especially in this weather.]

-- Memory modification is also an option. If they can transport us from other worlds and take away our abilities, it's possible they could have that sort of power.

[Poison each other and punch Naruto what a trio they make

And they can sit down in a moment but waiting on tea first since they DONT SERVE YOU you just gotta wait and pick it up first. But look its almost done.]

[And yeah, there's a lot of info that she's missed out on.]

True, but I don't see the point.

Besides, we all remember the same events, just from different times.

[but there is love DEEP DOWNnn]

It doesn't seem like there is one.

[There was a point to taking away their powers and bringing them here but the memory thing? Never explained. And they're grasping at straws when it comes to an explanation.

And not having one is just a little bothersome.

Sakura is in the dark forever YOU ALL ArE RUDE]

What do you remember?

[THE HOKAGE THING OBVIOUSLY but beyond that]

You punched one of the Juubi's clones pretty hard.

[Annihilated it even. Sort of changed the landscape a little too.]

We'd only been fighting together a few minutes when we appeared here. [It's a 'we' since not only was it from the exact same point in time, but he and Naruto turned up here at the same time too. They had even mentioned how odd it was Sakura wasn't there too, since the three were stood so close at the time.]

[SHE DID? AND SASUKE SAW IT? REMEMBERED IT??

We. Together. It makes her heart swell in hope like it usually does when Naruto talks like things are going to be okay.]

Oh.

[Sasuke you will learn this is a normal thing for Sakura especially if she's GOING TO BE IN THOR.

The coloring of her cheeks isn't just the cold now.]

I don't remember that.

[Though she rubs her forehead distractedly.]

It happened.

[Like how Kakashi remembers them doing stuff they don't, and so on.

The tea is read now and put on a tray thingy so he picks it up and carries it over to a table- back a little towards the corner because less PEOPLE always a bonus.]

[And he'd actually forgotten, until she presses against her forehead like that.]

If it hadn't happened, I wouldn't know about the seal, same as that Hokage's.

[She follows him and takes her seat NO COMPLAINTS and then is picking up her tea off the tray and curling her hands around it for warmth.

Aaaah... so nice. Much better.

Her seal? Her eyes widen a fraction and she reaches up to touch her forehead again, knowing it's not there because she's not able to pull at any of her chakra. Slowly it falls away, back to cupping her drink.]

It's not that I don't believe you. I just don't remember it. It's bizarre.

[Her sigh is bit frustrated like she spent YEARS gathering and saving this chakra and she can't even FINISH THE JUTSU or USE IT all she knows now is that is WORKED and she punched a Juubi clone enough that it affected Sasuke so much he remembered it. BUT SHE DIDN'T.

THAT HOKAGE HAS A NAME and she's the best Hokage tyvm she will supply him with that name]

Same as Tsunade-sama, yes.

[They're kind of surrounded by them on the battlefield, she will help him keep track you're welcome]

Yeah, that's what I said. [Kind of haha. Even though yeah, sort of got a Hokage collection going on right now GOTTA CATCH EM ALL...

He'll sip at his tea now because, well. Nothing immediately comes to mind and he isn't exactly the most talkative person in the world anyway.]

[it isn't tho but she's a little amused, brows lifting. she doesn't really think again about a poisoned drink as she lifts her cup to take a sip of her own. she exhales happily while that warmth travels through to the tips of her fingers to her toes

SOMETIMES there wasn't any need to talk and Sakura enjoys the rare companionable silence with Sasuke for how long it lasts. or until her mind gets away from her

she gnaws on her lip a bit]

You said that woman, Thiazi, came in and infiltrated with spies and... illusions.

Did she attack you? [And by YOU she generally means EVERYONE like Naruto and Kakashi and Gaara and Temari and whoever else]

[Sitting in silence drinking tea was by far the most normal thing they had done in years. Which makes it entirely abnormal.

Then she brings up Thiazi and fuck, that scowl is back on his face again. Perhaps she hadn't meant it directly as in him but considering he was attacked and by who, he assumes it to mean so.]

Yeah. She didn't take possession of me, just some of those around me.

[she's kind of uncomfortable tbh

what

she sputters a bit around her cup, coughing on tea EMBARRASSING]

P-Possession?

That's what happened. She took possession of people in the city. Not any of the natives, just people like us.

[He isn't going to go into details though. He's hardly going to blurt out that Naruto sliced his wrists open and watched him die.]
