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.

When the bubble appeared on the assumed trajectory, Naoto felt a burst of pleasure for adequately predicting its travel, and moved closer to watch, though careful to approach from the direction of the main trail to the village in question. It would provide an excuse if suspicion was the reaction.

Naoto expected that it would be, but she was incredibly curious about that jutsu, and the fact that it ended automatically, and if what she’d overheard led her to the correct assumption, had somehow been programmed to follow a certain path to an expected destination, and not just drifted, which Naoto might have expected from a jutsu like that.

As her target was shinobi, and she had no other evidence to go on for his apparent strength and skills, Naoto could only assume he was already aware of her approach, and so didn’t attempt stealth.

“Excuse me. I saw a bubble descending from the sky near here…”

Hmm, that would do. It wasn’t too forceful, and it wasn’t accusing. If he had reason to hide the bubble’s origin, she wouldn’t be prompting violent response, though she hoped he didn’t.

He did indeed sense her approach, but that was a given since she made no attempt at stealth. He showed no indication that he knew--she didn't give off any hostility, after all--until she actually addressed him, though. It was less trouble to just ignore people until they engaged him.

He tilted his head slightly, and reached up to scratch his cheek, looking every bit bored and confused at his question. "...You saw a bubble? It's probably popped by now if it's gone through here." He gestured vaguely through the trees. "They're not very durable."

But then, if she asked him that, there was no way that all she really saw was a bubble. No one asked after bubbles. She was probably a bounty hunter.

What a bother.

"Possibly, but I suspect it was some kind of Water Release, given the size, and learning more about different elemental specialties is an interest of mine. I've never seen bubbles that size before before."

That particular answer was not encouraging about satisfying her curiosity, however, so Naoto resigned herself to letting it drop. Whatever his reasons for not answering honestly, Naoto didn't wish to find out the hard way. She was confident in her skills, but barely a chuunin, and this shinobi was much older and had a technique at his disposal that she knew nothing about.

"But if you haven't seen it, I suppose I've lost it." However, perhaps signaling her willingness to not pursue answers would incline him to open up. Naoto had seen stranger things.
