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.

If you have time. A statement harmless if no other thought was put into it. But From Father to Son, from Fugaku to Itachi, specifically, it was double-edged. Meant to pull him into offering himself for the work both out of obligation, yet without making a direct demand.

He honestly wouldn't have been surprised if Fugaku had worded it as a demand, he was his Father, superior, and clan head, after all. It meant he was treading carefully, wanting to see if he would do it of his own volition testing to see just how badly he wanted to be here.

He'd long ago caught onto it. Accepting runs the risk of showing reluctance, and denying simply shows disrespect, and he might not want to be around often nor throw himself into his duties as heir-to-be, but he still didn't want to blatantly disrespect his Father.

"What sort of damage has it sustained?" he asks, instead, keeping his calm expression, though turning his gaze back to the kitten in his lap, who had started off with a quiet purr.

It was something between a spar and a dance. They both knew the steps well, and it's scripted to a point. Itachi's unerringly polite, difficult to pin down unless one uses both speed and force. It reminds Fugaku heavily of interrogating repeat offenders or long time informants with their own agendas and secrets. It strikes Fugaku that his son is not a child anymore, nor has he been for many years.

"It," Fugaku says at last, not bothering to hide his pause. "Is old. Old things do not particularly need anything to happen to them to need maintenance." But Fugaku doesn't think Itachi's ever had to manage a house and make sure it's sealed tight for the winter.

Fugaku wonders, really, what his son knows about maintaining things. Keeping difficult machines that break themselves down running, managing unpleasant tasks simply because no one else will do them.

"If you do not have time, I can ask someone else." Fugaku looked to the slackening rain. "I understand that you are busy."

Old things wither. They rust. They degrade. But some still need some form of wear and tear-- damage, to degrade faster. Some things can never be repaired properly, and must eventually be replaced with new things.

Fugaku would be on the mark though. With his missions, his focus is on shinobi life, and he does not know how to maintain a building nor any machinery.

Your firstborn cannot even cook for himself, Fugaku. Unless you plan on his wife always cooking his meals...

He knows how to maintain his weapons. His clothing, for travel. His health, to a degree, though he is still occasionally keeping medicine. Most of all, he knows how to maintain secrets.

"Actually." he decides, brows raising just slightly, as he too comes to his own decision.

"It is something I'd like to learn." Yes, he does pick up quick, he is known for his intelligence, and as a teacher sorted it, his ability to teach himself, but he cannot go into something like this without any reference point or guide.
