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! ♥

Definitely not.

[He waves his hand airily.]

My life isn't that exciting. [Carrying concealed weapons aside and all--]

Rather than me, wouldn't it make more sense for it to be you? Since you're the battling type.

[crowover]

[Nice deflection there, Yusuke.]

What, just because I practice martial arts? I’m just a passionate young man who loves to hang out with his friends!

[Though “hanging out with friends” often means “battling golems in an attempt to defeat an evil mage”.]

[not_sasuke]

But that's the perfect set up for a manga protagonist if you think about it. With your martial arts and strong bonds with your friends, evil stands no chance.

[Or... something like that, right? Yusuke's admittedly not that much of a manga person. Going all the way to the city from out in the middle of the forest just wasn't really worth it.]

[crowover]

[He can’t help but laugh. Not that the description isn’t accurate, but if his friends back home had to pick a protagonist it would probably that sourpuss, loved-by-all-girls Yuu-kun.

He kind of wish Yuu-kun could listen to Yusuke right now.]

HA! I think I’d do better as the hero’s rival who is also his great buddy and way cooler than him.

[not_sasuke]

So it's fine if you aren't the hero, as long as you're better than him?

[crowover]

Exactly! Cool rivals are more popular anyway.

[not_sasuke]

Is that how it goes?

[You learn something new every day... Even if it's hardly any information worth knowing. He casually stuffs his hands in his pockets, his eyes occasionally flitting towards the trees lining this particular street. If he could find one tall enough to reach a rooftop from, it could come in handy...]

[crowover]

Pretty much. You don’t read a lot of manga, do you?

[Mikazuki probably won’t be able to keep up with a jumper without his psychic powers. A good tree might be just the thing.

Because he’s about to give Magical Girl recommendations.]

[not_sasuke]

Not really. I told you, I'm out in the middle of nowhere, right? It takes a while for anything to get into town from Tokyo, and getting into the town proper is way too much of a pain.

[crowover]

Don't you ever get bored, living like that?

[not_sasuke]

[He shrugs.]

Not like it can be helped, right? And besides, I'm not that interested in living the city to begin with.

[crowover]

But now you don’t have a choice!

[He spreads his arms, gesturing to the city around them.]i

Maybe you’ll like it.

[not_sasuke]

Not if I can help it. There's a reason I want to talk to those gods.

[crowover]

Maybe you can send them a message ask for a meeting.

[He fiddles with his bracelet.]

With this thing. It looks pretty sophisticated.

[not_sasuke]

Oh, this?

[He pushes on the jewel and brings up the screen.]

I already checked. Half the time the one I want to contact just doesn't even bother with a proper response before he shuts them down.

[crowover]

Which god? Tell him that if he doesn't answer you set his shrine on fire! They've gotta have shrines.

[not_sasuke]

It says he's Odin. I did some asking around and it looks like he's the leader of the gods here.

I'm not going to risk ticking off a god like that. I just want to go home again.

[crowover]

You're probably not the first to say that, Yu-chan. Why would he listen to you of all people if you don't do something to stand out?

[not_sasuke]

It's worth a try, isn't it? I'm seriously not suited to this war anyway - I'm more likely to be a liability.
