Test Drive Post!

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.

"First you say you have choices and then you call Konoha a cage. Make up your mind, Milani-kun. If you don't want to stay so close to home, get stronger and conquer your fear."

Kisame said that like it was the most obvious thing in the world, and to him, it was. The Hoshigaki were a rough clan to grow up in, expecting fortitude and tenacity over just about anything else. Sink or swim in a very literal way. In his own way, he say it as a kind of aid, however little it was. Maybe it was her relation to Sephiroth, maybe her promise of growing into a powerful opponent, but he wasn't going to kill her, so why not?

Kisame looked her over, aware on some level that she would inspire sympathy in others. He only felt hollow and vaguely uncomfortable with the depressed look she wore. It was a little too familiar in some ways.

"I want to think it's true, that I am choosing my own path. Lately it just doesn't feel like it anymore, and meeting you here just cements it. It might just all be a giant lie," She frowned, resting her chin in her hand as she looked towards some of the more prominent structures in the garden.

"... I'll keep your advice in mind -- all of it. It's the least I can do, and nothing's gonna change if I just let shit keep happening to me without doing anything about it."

Kisame really hadn't been expecting that. It hit home in ways that almost physically hurt, bringing out bloody memories and a flood of emotion. Where do I go? Where can I go?

The breath he drew in hissed through clenched teeth, and Kisame had to consciously force tight muscles and clenched fists to relax. He'd fallen into a ready stance in the split second she'd said 'giant lie' and it was actually hard to force himself back into something that resembled relaxation. He knew he wasn't being entirely successful, and it made him feel more vulnerable than he had in a long time.

He couldn't look at her. "I'll leave you to it. I have a mission to complete."

In a split second he was on the garden wall, and there he paused, back to the garden. Part of him fought to look back, to say something to address what she'd said, and it made him hesitate. Oh, what a fool he was. A hesitation like that could easily get him killed in another situation. He needed to leave, now.

"... Good luck."

Was it something she said? Who knew, why he suddenly felt like he had to leave. She was confused, why he suddenly seemed tense and jumped away, she wasn't sure. It had her on edge, and she didn't like it.

Just what was it...

"... Thanks again, Hoshigaki-san. I hope the next time we meet is under better circumstances."

She could offer him that much... And that was when she went to the opposite wall, towards the inn she was staying at. They had their own respective missions to complete, but for the moment Adela was just finished with the day. Anything to just allow herself a moment to rest and truly relax, maybe with some good food and drink.

That someone could recognize their life as a lie and still say something like that. Kisame couldn't let that pass. It was just a nicety. A false hope. It would hurt more when it came back to blow up in hi--her face. He didn't turn to look, standing as rigid as a statue. His voice held a little heat, the word 'lie' spit out like it was poison.

"The world is already a lie; don't add to it, Milani-kun. The only thing you can do against it is stop lying to yourself."

Then he was gone, even as she started to move in the opposite direction.
