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! ♥

[He's been brought here to fight a war without choice, away from the king he follows, and it's not even a good time of year. There's snow on the ground and he's not really dressed for it in his leather and cloth but in the grand scheme of things it's a small price to pay really to be like this and the children are happy so he can't complain about that. In fact it's rather thrilling to know that children, somewhere, are happy even if it's not Camelot at the moment.

So really it's with a grin, after several moments of contemplation at his situation because he could get rather deep into his thoughts or go off yelling at some unseen person, that he decides on something more fun. That being to bend down with his shield over his head to cover him as he scoops up a handful of snow to throw at the nearest person. Without looking naturally at the person before him as he throws it.]

[ Greg yelps as the powder scatters down his back. Okay. Realistically, he ought to have expected that walking into the middle of a snowball fight meant that you would get hit with a few. Maybe even by some medieval asshole straight out of one of those weird LARP games.

What he hadn't precisely counted on was being able to feel cold. Alright, in the abstract, sure, he wouldn't usually have bothered with the coat -- but there's a difference between ambient temperature and freezing slush running down your back, and it's not one that he's entirely pleased with. ]

What the fuck, dude?

[ He holds his hands up for surrender...realizing in the process that he probably ought to drop the snowballs he's already holding. It's not really a call for peace unless you rid yourself of weapons. He's a rational adult here, he can exercise a little restraint.

Well, maybe not.

He's a bit giddy -- blame it on his first daylight in thirty years. Greg brings his arm back hard, overhand, and wings his ammo in the knight's direction. ]

Suck it Trebeck!

Ow! [Gawain's handful of snow hits something, all right. And it's one disgruntled, spluttering warlock, who quickly gets over his indignation and stares down at Gawain with mock seriousness.]

A shield! You know that's cheating, right? [Before Gawain can answer, Merlin cups his hands over his mouth and calls to the children around them.]

We have a cheater here! Get him!

[Hopefully, Gawain's caught on by now and started running, but if he hasn't, he'll find himself bombarded by snowballs from every direction.]

[ Ghanima is not intending to become a part of the childrens' game, though she sort of becomes so anyway since the young ones fast pick up on the fact that it doesn't matter how hard they try, she always seems to be able to avoid the snowballs they hurl in her direction. Through subtle twists and delicate footwork she is able to proceed calmly along her way in spite of the near constant bombardment.

That is, until Gawaine decides to join in.

The snowball hits her right in the back of her head, and she spins around to level a cool stare at the playful knight. Her eyes are unnaturally, luminously blue, and the air is no longer filled with snow balls, but rather muted giggling as the children wait to see what's going to happen next, now that someone managed to hit the impossible target. ]
