Test Drive

[sunshinemods]

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.

Obito Uchiha | Naruto | Konoha

[thebestuchiha]

He hadn't intended to stand up his appointment, but he'd had a last minute emergency that he'd had to deal with before he could actually get there... which meant he was going at a dead spring across the village, white coat flapping in his wake as one of his hands held the hat down on his head. He would never understand how his sensei had ever gotten anywhere on time when people would just spring up like that...

He definitely had never mastered the art, and he skidded to a halt just inside the building to see if the person he was meeting had... given up and left.

It wouldn't be the first time.

Shisui Uchiha | Naruto | Konoha

[shunshinoshishi]

No, it wouldn't be the first time. And certainly not the last. Seeing Obito barging into the building like a cloak in a whirlwind made him sigh. As much as Shisui was glad that they had an Uchiha for Hokage, Obito clearly was giving them all a bad rep with his recurrent lack of punctuality.

Shaking his head as he met the other man halfway, Shisui, arms laden with reports that needed filing and organizing, shook his head. "I sent him away." Whether that statement held any truth or not was to be determined later--

[thebestuchiha]

He narrowed his eyes a tad at the comment... then heaved a dramatic sigh. "He might still be there... maybe." He looked around all the same, but no, nothing, nothing at all.

He wouldn't be surprised if he had left though. He was over a half hour late because of the minor fire that just needed to be discussed right-this-second by the head teacher. "But... I'm going to try anyway. At least it's nothing that's going to cause an international incident. That was... a bad day."

[shunshinoshishi]

"Why would he be? Two minutes is late. You're off my more than half an hour." Shisui was probably more than grumpy with his older cousin because there was a ton of paperwork to be done and clearly it was the Hokage's fault for there to be paperwork at all, wasn't it? Yes, yes it was.

"...Who knows if it will? The guy wasn't from Konoha." Okay, keeping up the act was becoming just a little difficult. Shisui was trying not to snicker.

[thebestuchiha]

He paused, then squinted at him. What. No, that made no sense at all. "Shisui... do you even know who I was meeting?"

oh hai thar cuz

[fastermindf_ck]

Shisui had been just about to open the door when it flew open in front of him. Ignoring the jerk-reflex of set it on fire he took a step back and glanced at his bag of dango, and then the windswept Hokage.

...

Hefting the bag to prevent it from harm, Shisui grinned and gave a small bow. "Hi, Obito-sama." He shifted back up, rocked on his heels and glanced around. There was no one in the sweet shop except for the owner, who was engrossed in a magazine.

"I guess I'm not the one you're looking for?"

Cousin~!

[thebestuchiha]

He gave a look around... then his shoulders slumped. "...Not even close."

Considering he was hoping for an outing with someone a whole lot more curvy... this was a definite disappointment. Scratch another attempt at dating off the list.

"It's still weird to be called that by family."

...If you want, Shi can have curves. Or try. He doesn't think he'd look good in drag, though...

[fastermindf_ck]

Shisui clacked his tongue sympathetically. "Sorry... I could always call you Obito-nii, but I'd forget in the middle of a meeting--" Oh, the dreaded meetings-- "And then everyone would do it, causing perceived disrespect and riots over who can and can't call you anything less than '-sama'." He grinned a little too widely.

Shisui's most distinct memories of Obito as a child was soccer during clan gatherings, voices chastising him for being late--late to come, late to go. Years later, he was still the same. Shisui wondered if he would accept a challenge to a soccer game.

Hey, that's not the impression he was trying to give!

[thebestuchiha]

He wrinkled his nose, then huffed a soft laugh. "I wouldn't mind it honestly, being called sama was nice all of the first three times, then it just started to feel weird."

He moved over and leaned in, a wry smile touching his lips. "Every time I get 'Uchiha-sama' I look for Fugaku."

Obito, you kept Sasori waiting [Sasori | Naruto | Surprise surprise-- Sunagakure]

[shinkei_dokusei]

That person more than likely would have given up and left. Well, he had likely given up, and was in the process of leaving, too, if not for the door to the building opening on its own accord. This was a ridiculous waste of time. He had walked all the way here from Sunagakure in the middle of a sandstorm only to be stood up by the Hokage. If that wasn't Konoha showing Suna the utmost disrespect, he didn't know what was.

So when he spots Obito right there, Sasori's expression morphs into a scowl. "You're late." Disrespect would be met with disrespect; he was not going to shower the other man in honorifics or bow in his presence.

Everything about this meeting promised grey skies with thunder in the background.



//ooc: playing around with his affiliation here c:

[thebestuchiha]

They sent Sasori? Was the Kazekage that pissed off at him that they were sending out their former missing-nin to official meetings now?

Well, that just added a whole layer of 'this is a terrible day' to the mix, now didn't it?

Still, he'd been trained better by his sensei, and he took a deep breath, straightening his back and nodding once. "I am. There was an emergency that took longer than expected to disentangle from. I'm here now though, and I apologize for your wait."

[shinkei_dokusei]

Says who? Suna had pardoned him a long time ago and clearly, that had been a misunderstanding, heh. Besides, where was the problem in sending Sasori in for official meetings? He was more than capable of doing so, though whether he was willing was an entirely different matter.

"Perhaps we ought to inform you we'd be here two hours prior to the expected meeting time in the hopes that you might scrape in at least within fifteen minutes past the hour." But he does step aside, regardless, arms crossed inside his sleeves. "Hm, we can't talk here."

[thebestuchiha]

He stilled for a moment, then waved for him to follow, pivoting on his heel to start off to a more private area of the building. "I was unaware of your early arrival, had I known I would have sent someone with a message."

[clouded_moon]

Izumo bounced aside from the violent entry. "What the hell! Watch where you're going motherffff---oh it's you. No wonder."

He was pretty sure calling Obito rude names was not going to get him any good jobs. It might get him a free knot on the head, but Izumo wasn't into collecting those.

[thebestuchiha]

He looked sideways at the man, then huffed a breath. "You don't need to say it like that you know." He looked past him though... and nope, he didn't see who he was meeting. Damn. He looked back to the man he'd nearly run down. "Could have been a bit more polite though don't you think? I would have apologized."

[clouded_moon]

"Sorry, getting almost run over makes me cranky first thing after lunch," Izumo returned, grumpily, eyeing his erstwhile Hokage. Dignified, oh very. "I suppose you forgot your appointment?"

Luckily, some people were in charge of schedules. A lowly secretary was not the best of substitute, but Izumo was good enough to carry messages of condolences. He held out a scroll with a shrug. "You're rescheduled, you're welcome, tomorrow around ten in the morning. Think you can hold off having any other schedule emergencies until then?"

This last was slyly teasing, not sarcastic or grumpy, and Izumo's smile was back, albeit as a little smug smirk. He liked Obito well enough, which was good seeing as how he worked with the man, and he couldn't help but tease those he liked.

[thebestuchiha]

"I didn't forget! The Academy caught fire!" He huffed and rubbed his temple. It had that morning anyway, and then he'd got to listen to flailing about it for over an hour as he failed to get in a word edgewise that it would be fine, please go away.

Yay.

"I need someone to play bouncer, the people I have doing it now let anyone in to rant at me."

[abileunaspada]

What the heck was he... Was the Hokage running late somewhere again?

Adela was helping out with paperwork around the office when she saw him darting out the window, sighing heavily before shaking her head. Whatever he was doing, he had a horrible habit of doing it. It was like he took it upon himself to help the entire village single-handedly... It was admirable, but dumb. It'd probably be good for him if he was just a little lazier.

A stack of paperwork was set on his desk when she saw him finally returning from his meeting, along with a cup of tea before she made to leave, "There you go, Hokage-Sama."

Probably one of the few people she ever used honorifics for...

[thebestuchiha]

He blinked at the girl for a moment, then gave her a sheepish smile as he realized he'd pretty much left an irate Academy teacher on everyone in the office when he'd taken off. Hopefully she hadn't gotten caught up in that mess. "Adela-san. Thank you. I didn't realize you were working paperwork today."

[abileunaspada]

From the exhausted feel about her, she likely had, but she wouldn't say it. She'd be annoyed at the Hokage more later, maybe. If someone else didn't annoy her first.

"What the hell were you running out for anyway?" She didn't answer him, instead glancing at him expectantly and waiting for an explanation. She had a little time to hear that.

[thebestuchiha]

"The meeting I was supposed to be at about half an hour into that rant about the fire..." He gave her a sheepish smile, picking up the tea to sip at it. "But if I'd left sooner he would have given chase so I was kind of stuck."

I needed to see how this would work

[gentledheart]

Waiting patiently for her sensei when he finally burst through the door was Hinata. His appointment however, was nowhere to be seen. The poor man in question had given up hope some five or ten minutes before and left, giving her with explicit instructions to tell her sensei that he was extremely disappointed that he couldn’t find it worth his time to be there.

Apparently, she wore a sign that read: Hokage-sama’s student, please use me as a messenger. She nodded and promised to relay the message. And to think she had only come to deliver progress updates and shares Naruto’s desire for another mission. “Sensei.” She greeted after a moment to allow her teacher to collect himself.

Eeeexcellent

[thebestuchiha]

He stared at her for a long moment, then slowly looked around... only to sigh and look back to her, giving her a sheepish smile. "I promise it wasn't actually my fault. So, uh, was he mad?"

:D

[gentledheart]

She nods. "Yes." She pauses feeling a touch guilty for having to repeat his enraged message. "He said, that he was extremely disappointed the you couldn't find it worth your time to be here." As she speaks her expression takes on one of apologetic understanding. It wasn't easy being the leader of something everyone wanted a piece of your time a fact she could sympathize with as the heir to the Hyuuga clan.

[thebestuchiha]

Obito heaved a deep sigh, then shook his head, meeting her gaze and giving her a wry smile. "Considering it was something of a favor to make time for him at all, if he couldn't wait then... leaving me pissy messages won't get him a reschedule. I'm sorry you got pinned with him though, I know you get enough of that at home."
