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.

Re: Aburame Shino | Naruto | Konohagakure

It's a good thing not to have an Aburame irritated at you, that's what she'd decided over the years she'd known Shino. No matter how familiar she was with his bugs, there were times and places she didn't want to find them.

She sighed, watching her feet almost as if she expected them to start swinging if she didn't keep close attention to them. "You should fill up his pillowcase with bugs whenever he forgets, you know. He'd stop eventually."

She glanced over at him when he posed the question: calculating whether the demonstration was watching the kikaichu do their thing or whether it would require her participation in some way (and whether the cost would be worth the benefit). It was only a moment of contemplation before she decided, though: she hadn't any better things to do than observe anyway.

"As long as you don't do that thing where you open up a hole in your face again."

Familiarity with her teammate did not undo the initial trauma of seeing him do that when they'd barely met. Elsewhere, she could deal with. The face, no.

Shino didn't chuckle, but it was a near thing. Leave it to Sakura to inadvertently give him ideas for correcting Kiba's negligent behavior. He wouldn't go with the pillowcase, no, but there were other ways....

He hunched into himself when she mentioned that incident. A muscle under his eye twitched, thankfully concealed by his sunglasses. "It was only once, Sakura-san."

Turning his attention inward, Shino directed his kikkai to absorb a larger quantity of warmth than usual. They then exited his body from his sleeves, formed a small black cloud in front of Sakura (roughly the size of a beach ball) and expelled the heat all at once. It was surely not the most pleasant thing in the world, but they had been assigned to missions in the Land of Wind before, and the expelled heat could not have been more intense than that.

Did the demonstration require blowing hot air in her face, or was that just retaliation for mentioning the time he did that gross thing in front of her? Because he wasn't the one with the creepy dreams for months after that, so it was pretty rude of him.

Obviously he must have been more discreet about it than that normally, since she'd never noticed that's what they were doing when they were in the Land of Wind. But then, she'd been distracted by the mission and just took for granted that Shino didn't sweat.

Ultimately, she gave Shino an unimpressed frown for the hot air in her face thing. "Won't they get tired?"

He kept a straight face when she gave him a look, inwardly vindicated. She knew he disliked her talking about that. He had been young, and unused to non-Aburame sensibilities. In his clan, that technique would not have caused a single stir.

"Kikkai rarely tire. Why? They are constantly in motion, therefore accustomed to it." Speaking of kikkai, his had just picked up a few people moving in their direction. "There is a group of pre-genin moving down this alleyway. I recommend we relocate."

[notveryspecial]

He always kept a straight face. She didn't need to see him smirk like Kiba to assume he was smug or something in there though. If it weren't so inconvenient from where she was, he'd get thumped on the shoulder, hidden army of beetles or no.

"I don't think that's the same thing." Everything had its limits, after all. But then, she wasn't the host of those bugs. Even if he was simplifying, he obviously knew more about how the bugs functioned than she did...or ever could.

She glanced off in the direction he'd come from, curious whether she could spot them (and presuming that's the way they were coming from, considering the reason people usually took this street). "To where? You know, most of the shade is already taken up."
