Test Drive!

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

Ground-dwellers were so varied and so other from her clan that Konayuki wouldn't have been able to distinguish between a threatening and non-threatening smile unless he'd been swinging a sword at her during the former. Given that her current guardian wore a mask at all times, it was probably for the best that she wasn't particularly reliant on emotional nuance for reassurance. So as far as Kisame would be able to tell, his smile worked perfectly. She was soon following along at his heels, drinking in the sights of Kiri, and pestering this obviously friendly shinobi with questions despite every instruction to the contrary.

"Is it always this foggy? What sorts of animals do you hunt?" And as they moved through into a larger portion of the village, "Ah, Kisame-oniisan, would you know how many people live here? I thought most of the ground-dwellers lived in Fire, but there are just as many here!"

So many questions. Part of Kisame grumbled suspiciously about information gathering, but he kept that part contained. Still, he wasn't going to give her anything that wasn't well known, just in case. She'd prove herself innocent of spying or not in time.

"Yes, and it's fishing more than hunting here. And for how many people, eh, hundreds? I'm not involved in census-taking."

Kisame knew the exact answer, but that wasn't information readily shared with the public, so quiet on that part he remained. They were walking through a street that had water flowing down the center, and a few restaurants here and there. Which, well, Kisame remembered being small and hungry all the time.

"We can stop for something quick to eat if you're hungry."

'Hundreds' was an impressive enough answer that she didn't even register the hedging. After all, she didn't remember how many people had been in her clan - the answer to that would always have just been 'all of them'. She kept up fairly well, occasionally surging sideways or forward to investigate something but always returning to heel. The canal was particularly fascinating, given the scarcity of running water in her homeland; the only fish she'd seen had been in the northern ocean during the summer hunts.

Food got her attention again, predictably. He was good at this.

"Really? Is that okay?"

[noboatbigenough]

The wonder seemed honest enough, and he couldn’t help but smirk at the thought of how she’d react to the lake, if the canal was so fascinating. That she was keeping up was good for the future training. If she couldn’t even keep up on a walk, Kisame didn’t know what he’d do with her.

“Did you think we would starve you, kid? I saw how you got interested at the mention of fish, and that one there has some good fish dishes.”

It was a small and unassuming looking place, barely more than a food stand, but the available seats were all but full. Kisame liked their crab-stuffed swordfish especially, and it’d been some time since he’d treated himself to the dish. It wouldn’t hurt to use the girl as an excuse to do it again.

She would have been happy to be used as an excuse, even if she didn't realise that was what was happening. As it was, she almost bounded away from the path towards the tiny restaurant once he'd confirmed it, eager to see what was on offer. She hadn't expected anything of the visit, beyond a fairly nebulous idea of training or instruction by someone like her, but both the visit and the instructor were already shaping up to be infinitely more entertaining than she'd imagined.

She peered at the row of low tables, trying to work out if she recognised any of the dishes. When she didn't, she turned back to Kisame.

"Might I ask which kind you like best?" Without any preferences of her own yet, she was happy to be guided by his.

Kisame followed at a more sedate pace, and barely refrained from shaking his head at the girl. She certainly had energy to spar. The training would give her a way to focus it, at least.

"I was planning on having the crab stuffed swordfish, but I've never had something bad at this place, kid. Pick whatever looks most interesting."
