Test Drive Post!


Sunshineverse
Okay everyone, it's time to test some people out! The rules of the game are simple. You have a character you would like to try out as a native to the setting of this game. You want to see if this is the right setting to play said character in, right?

Well, then all you have to do is drop them into this post as a top level comment with this as the header:
Character name | Series (OC's just put Original here) | Planned Village Affiliation

Then you comment around and play with everyone else!

If you need some ideas on how to get started, you can drop your character in during the middle of a mission, have them at an eatery around their village, or maybe even just doing weapons practice. It's up to you how you want to set out, so feel free to put your characters in this version of the Naruto universe however it most seems appropriate. Just be sure to say where you put them somewhere in your post though, otherwise two people might not even be threading in the same country.

One last thing! Remember that your character was born in this universe, so whatever else you decide, your character is a world native, even if they might be a tourist in the village you decided to test them out on.

And that's it. Just be good to each other and have fun! Threads you do here can count toward future activity checks, so long as the person you're threading with gets in too. These threads can also be used for samples on your application.

Neji nodded, though the thought of his father actually visiting brought to mind the number of things wrong with the place.

"It's not much," he said honestly, fighting a sudden bout of self-consciousness. "I'll need to get at least a pair of chairs and a decent table.."

There wouldn't even be food in the fridge if Izumo and Gai hadn't stopped by occasionally. He was getting worse about eating properly lately, buried in studies as he had been. It was mostly a place to study, then crash and wake up to start over again. That he didn't really have guests went largely unsaid, mostly because he didn't want to provoke any 'girlfriend' references Hizashi might have heard in the compound in the wake of his absence, or around Headquarters, once it'd made it around the rumor mill proper. They really, absolutely did not need to have that talk on any level.

"But that won't be an issue." Wasn't like it needed to be expensive, particularly nice looking furniture. After all, once he was done with his intensive studying, he wasn't sure how often he'd use the place. The independence and privacy was nice, but he'd probably find himself home more often than not.

"At any rate," he said, standing. "I've kept you from your report long enough."

He wouldn't he a Hyuuga if he hadn't heard the rumors circulating, to be honest. A girlfriend..... He supposed he wouldn't have been surprised to hear Neji attempting to keep it quiet, if that had actually been true. Still, he also wouldn't be surprised to hear Neji combating those rumors, too, if that had actually been the case--that he apparently hadn't breathed a word in protest lately pointed to it being a convenient excuse, a tell in and of itself that the whole rumor rang false. Still, whenever he did get around to finding love.....

Well, then they could have that talk, and Hizashi would be there for him, whatever happened, whoever he chose.

Until then, though? Let those false rumors rest as peacefully as they could, when they were still circulating through the village full-force. Neji could use the cover for his training. Hizashi nodded his agreement as Neji rose; he would welcome further company, of course, but..... well, it really wasn't an ideal place for an in-depth chat, was it? He could bring over his weapons to show Neji, and possibly some ingredients to cook with, and they could make a night in out of catching up with each other over ANBU matters. "It doesn't need to be much--as long as it serves you well, it's enough. I'll send a message before I come, unless you'd rather set a time now?"

Neji hummed an agreement, relaxing about the matter. He'd just clean up a little and bring over a small table set. As for their meet-up, scheduling anything as an active shinobi was hard, so he shrugged.

"Feel free to send a message. Trying to schedule something is just asking for unexpected situations to arise." Then they'd need to reschedule and do it all over again, so the more flexible option was wiser in his opinion.

"But I haven't had much more than studying demands on my time, so whenever some time opens up for you.."

His father was quite busy after all, and now he knew the true extent of it. He was having a hard enough time balancing his studies with being an active Jounin, and still managing to spend time with his team to train. But Hizashi had Hyuuga to worry about, acting in a double capacity for Hiashi.

"Of course." Anyone else might have laughed; Hizashi simply smiled knowingly instead, inclining his head. Scheduling was an uncertain proposition at best, especially between trying to work around two active Jounin's obligations--and especially when one of those Jounins was studying to become a fully-functioning member of ANBU. Asking either of them to stick to a set time..... that was just asking for disaster.

Now that Neji knew the full extend of Hizashi's obligations, though, was there any wonder that the fine worry lines around his eyes had slowly grown over the years? Was it surprising at all, that occasionally the mask slipped, and a hint of that strain peeked out? As controlled and disciplined as Hizashi was, as smooth and seamless a facade as he adopted, even he wasn't perfect. He might not have wanted to show anyone the uglier side of himself or his duties, but that didn't mean he could keep it neatly tucked away behind a mask all the time--whether that mask was made of porcelain or something far more intangible.

"I should send word sometime in the next few days, then..... Good luck, Neji. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything." It's not much, not really, just an almost formal parting of ways between two family members, with only the expected sentiments and encouragements being given. Still, the offer is genuine--if Neji needs anything, then he'll be there as quickly as possible, ready to provide anything it's in his power to get. He may not be able to give Neji the world, but Hizashi had already long since given him his world, to take from at his leisure; in the end, that would have to be enough.

It was more than enough. Hizashi had given him as much as he could as a child, and continued to do so. Even if now, he worked very hard for his independence- not as a slight to his father, but rather because that strain was there and raising a child alone was no easy task. Yet Hizashi had managed, given him his full attention as a child, taught him everything he'd need to know growing up.

So now that he could effectively take care of himself, he hoped that his father might be able to relax a little more if he lessened how much he relied on him. Even if he did miss those precious days of being his father's sole focus, of training and falling and being encouraged to get up and try again- a bright childhood despite the shadow that hung over them both.

"I look forward to it," he said sincerely. It had been weeks since he had an extended conversation with the man, after all. Some time together and away from the compound for a change sounded perfect.

"And thank you." Neji inclined his head in a short, informal bow. "Take care, and I'll see you then."
