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. Communities♦ Main Community ♦ Missive Network ♦ OOC Community General Info♦ Premise ♦ Rules ♦ F.A.Q.

"Because it could get infected if not taken care of." Hinata stares at him perplexed. Did he really matter so little that no one bothered to check his injury? Based on what she'd seen it wasn't a life threatening injury, even with the way he reacted.

She can't help but jump a little as the sand send the jar flying. Though she remedies it by keeping her eyes on him, and not in a 'I-don't-trust-you' sort of way, just the sort of eye contact one made with people they respected or considered as one they'd like to know better. "I'm not a medic-nin but I can take a look if you want," she offers with an awkward shrug of her shoulders.

Perplexed, and rapidly tiring from the burst of conversation, he just nodded and held the pot out again. The sand seemed to settle, swirling lazily around the floor at Hinata's feet like some sated pet, and Gaara was paying it no attention whatsoever as he continued to stare at the Leaf genin. Why did she remind him of that Uchiha adult? It was strange

"Do what you want."

[gentledheart]

For a moment, Hinata hesitates and chews on her bottom lip before taking the pot back. The little ceramic container suddenly heavy in her hand now that she's faced with having permission to actually check on the wound. Maybe she shouldn't have offered at all, but she had and she wasn't sure if she could do it without feeling terribly inadequate. Not that she wasn't well-versed in basic first aid; and would he stop staring it was making her more nervous.

Smiling (and it probably looked as forced as it felt) to hide her nerves Hinata stood and made her way to his side. That would be safe, it couldn't be misinterpreted as her trying to injure him as she inspected the laceration.

"I'm sorry if I hurt you," she says preemptively, as much to warn him she's going to touch him as to actually apologize. She leans in a little, pulling his shirt away from his skin as gently as she can. It didn't look bad and it would probably look less terrible once it was washed and dressed appropriately.

"I'm going to need to clean it with water and soap, it'll probably sting." She painfully aware that she's blabbering and that this is something he already knows she'll have to do and leans back so she's sitting up straight again her posture perfect as usual.

It's like she's speaking a foreign language, and a large part of him is preoccupied wondering if she'll even be able to get near the wound. So much of the sand's reactions confuse him and now, without commentary or whisperings to prompt him one way or another, he watches with about as much concern as she does as she makes contact. That it'll sting and it needs to be cleaned are things he knows distantly and theoretically, like he knows the movements of the stars and their role in navigation.

He flinches as the fabric gummed to the gash separates wetly, the sudden movement cracking the thin layer of sand around his eyes... but other than a faint swirl that could have been the wind, there's no reaction. That answers that question. With Mother sleeping, he can only assume that the automatic defense has failed.

He sits as straight as she does, but for different reasons - he needs to hide the tremor of fear in his spine as he considers again how vulnerable the Kazekage has made him.

"Do you have a bathroom attached to your room?" It was sort of funny how she'd only intended to drop off the pot of salve and now she was administering basic first aid. Not what she planned to do, but he looked so sad and coupled with how he was dragged away... Her heart wouldn't allow her though. Turning away from the smaller boy would sit like a stone on her conscious if she left him like that.

"If you stay so tense it'll hurt more when I clean the wound." Her tone gentle and aiming for reassuring. He didn't have to trust her, she understood perfectly why he might not. She just didn't want to hurt him anymore than he already had been.

[ninjasloveme]

He stared at her for long enough that it was obvious he found the idea of relaxing ridiculous, but then closed his eyes and released the sand around his shoulders until he was slumping just a little more than he had been. Her voice and words should have been irritating, but her attention wasn't. If he killed her, she'd stop looking at him like that... so he wouldn't.

"It's fine if it hurts," he muttered, then jerked his head towards a door set into the near wall. "It's through there."

[gentledheart]

She frowns at him just for a moment, not in disapproval so much as sadness. But that is swept away as she nods and pushes to her feet. Her steps light and quiet on the floor as she goes to a bowl of water and a cloth to clean up the wound. And when she returns she sets the items down carefully so as not to spill before kneeling down again.

"I'm going to begin cleaning the wound, please remember not to tense and keep breathing."

Taking a deep breath of her own Hinata picks up the cloth from the bowl of warm water and wrings it out before pressing it lightly to the wound to wipe away the bits of dried blood and ick from the battle.
