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.

Fugaku didn't smile, but the corner of his lip twitched. This was still the paternal amusement at Sasuke managing something younger and more inexperienced than he was. If the other two had hunted well, it didn't seem fair to blame Sasuke for the other's failure, though he wouldn't learn anything if all his summons fell into line to easily. Sasuke needed a challenge to push him. Fugaku had stopped expecting Sasuke to be Itachi (and the more time went on the more he thought it was better for everyone that Sasuke wasn't like Itachi), but that didn't mean he expected anything but excellence from Sasuke, or thought he should take it easy with his training--or his training of others.

It seemed rather obvious that Fugaku had gotten caught in the rain, but he would take the comment as a conversation piece, not Sasuke being unable to deduce that was what had happened. Fugaku wasn't sure why someone would stop for tea with kittens anyway. They were a fairly standard "take this straight home" purchase. He really should have brought a box for them.

Fugaku nodded. Normally his hip predicted the weather with alarming accuracy, but this freak shower had escaped it. "I was. The rain will, at least, make it easier to dig a bed for the bulbs." Fugaku was assuming those needed to be planted soon, though he didn't know if they would have to languish until spring before they were placed in the ground.

... it was definitely Sasuke's imagination. As far as he was aware, the only things that brought smiles to his father's face usually involved fire in large concentrations, and even then only very rarely. Sasuke could probably count on one hand the number of warm expressions he'd seen on Fugaku's face that weren't brought out by Mikoto.

At least his choice of conversation change seemed to have worked out, Sasuke glancing back out the shop window at the rain, now less a proper storm than a drizzle. An abject drizzle, but a sign at least that the weather was letting up. As for digging a bed for the bulbs, that definitely sounded like a project his mother wanted done more than anything else.

Sasuke had been away from home far more often than usual this past season, which was normal for a ninja at his age but also meant he had something akin to second-son guilt when he thought about the seasonal traditions that had once been his job to help his mother with. Before he'd properly thought about it, he'd offered: "I'm in town for the next few days. I can help Mother with that."

When it came to Mikoto, Fugaku felt he could always count on finding Sasuke helping her with whatever project she had going on. "I'm sure she would appreciate it." And no doubt could find several other things that needed doing while Sasuke was digging the bed...it was that time of year. But, only in the dead of winter were there things that didn't need tending in the garden or taking care of in the house.

Well, the house if they were lucky.

Fugaku slowly stood up, trying to disguise the stiff way his hip stretched shifting the kitten in his lap to the crook of his arm and picking up his basket as he stood. He could tolerate a drizzle, and the kittens were just going to have to stand it. "Are you going to take him back out to hunt?" Fugaku inclined his head to the bird, since his hands were full.
