Test Drive Post!

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.

Yeah, I just got here. [ He turns his head and opens his eyes to look at Hinata, offering a wide smile in greeting. It's been some time since he last saw her; the training intense enough that he's not entirely certain how many months, but he's sure its more than a couple. ] I was gonna let you guys know once I dropped my stuff off.

[ She hasn't changed much-- other than the fact that her hair is an inch or so longer. He notices that small clue with surprising ease, and knows for a fact that before his training with the toads he might have never picked up on it... Well, at least it was very obviously working. ]

Welcome back. [She smiles wider.] Well now you just have to tell Sasuke.

[She tilts her head a little to the side, considering. He's gotten taller since the last time Naruto came back for a visit. Or maybe she just remembers him being a little shorter. But he doesn't smell like he just crawled through a sewer so that says something, right?]

I uh...I bought extra food at the store. Would you like to have lunch with me by the river?

[ That's right! Mount Myoboku is surprisingly refreshing and Naruto spends a good amount of his time there basking in the natural world, so he kind of smells like flowers and grass right now and probably will for the next few days. Lucky Konoha. ]

Oh, really? [ Hello Naruto's stomach, you sure did wake up at the mention of food. ] Man.. I'm starving. I haven't eaten since breakfast. [ Which is a fair few hours in the past at this point. ]

[To be an Uzumaki in this house is to maybe be a touch dramatic. Sometimes. ~~After all, he does seem to get it from the superior parent.~~ Though her grip does tighten a little at his remark. While it's nowhere near tight enough to choke him, it's solid enough in her best attempt to keep him where he is. If the noogie he gets is any indication, he may have undoubtedly been pushing his luck with her.

And there doesn't appear to be any dad present to distract her this time either. RIP in pieces baby fishcake...]

Whatcha say, brat?! You're really pushin' your luck, y'know! Maybe if I did bring back something for you I should wait to give it to you for your birthday! Especially if this is how you greet me when I get home after weeks out!

[Method #352 on how to dangle things in front of son to chase in order to get what she wants. Which is a proper greeting. ...Besides the ramen.]

HHhkkk!! [ Naruto's strangled noises continue, just as dramatic as one might expect as his mother tightens her hold the teeeensiest, tiiiiiniest bit, and Naruto takes that as excuse enough to choke with just a little more vigor. ] I give!! I give!! Uncle, uncle!!

[ But before she has chance to adhere to his bid of defeat, his flailing hands come together to form a quick seal at his front... and soon Kushina's headlock is wrapped around nothing but a hunk of wood. Her son stands in front of her and promptly throws his arms around her middle to hug himself close to her, his beaming smile visible for only a few moments before it's pressed into her shoulder. ]

Welcome home, Mom.

[For all his dramatics - for which she'd likely blame the boy's godfather - her grin slowly reappears as she lets the log drop to the floor. His hug makes it grow brighter and her arms wrap around him. She really had missed him.]

That's more like it. Thank you, Naruto.

[She gives him a gentle squeeze before pulling back to hold him by his shoulders... And to steal a quick kiss to his forehead.]

So, what've you been up to since I've been gone?

[It's actually not a bad smell on him. If they were younger she would probably attempt to inhale it more deeply and just bask in how it settled over her; around her. It was nice and if it lasted a while that would be excellent and all sorts of pleasant.

She grins at how he perks up and laughs with a quick nod.] Is that a yes?

Oh! Yeah, sure! [ He smiles, shifting his pack a little better on his back. His plan had been to head straight home and wait for one or both of his parents to show up, but... He's sure they won't begrudge him spending some time with his team-mate before them, just this once. ]

How's everythin' been while I've been gone? [ He's sent the odd scroll in his time away but... he's never been very eloquent with the written word; he much prefers speaking. ]

[ His Mom smells just as he remembers; the smell that has soothed his worries for years, the scent he'd happily bury his nose in when things got a little too tough. It serves it's purpose now, comforting and grounding him and he basks in it for the little moment he's close to it. He can't even bring himself to sweep away the strands of her hair tickling at his face. He didn't realise how much he'd missed her till she was back; but then it was always like this, even when his parents were only away for a day. ]

Ah, the usual, y'know.. Lookin' after Dad. [ He gives her a look. ]

[Immortal doesn't mean invulnerable and it's something Houou's very aware of as he nears the small camp and a very familiar chakra signature.
It's not often that he comes out of an altercation injured, but protecting civilians against rogue ninja is not unlike herding fifty cats; somewhere along the way you're bound to get caught in the cross fire and he most certainly had.

The hitch in his stride is invisible to anyone that has only met him in passing and the red of his outer robe covers the stain nicely, but he's not dealing with a stranger and it's what Houou's counting on as he hails the other.]

Good evening, Kawauso. How fairs the road?

It's the wrong time of year for Shisui to be walking around the village in civvies. It's even more strange to see him emerge from that shady part of the village that no one really likes to talk about. Rumors have it that it's a red light district operating on the down-low. Apparently it comes with the whole package, which includes the narcotics rings and any other stereotypical shady business on the list of shady businesses. But the odds were that they were just insubstantial rumors.

However, the rumors might seem to be a notch less insubstantial than they should be for Shisui if it meant he was making an effort to be as discreet as he possibly could.

The bottom line was he didn't want to be questioned about whether he was having trouble finding a girlfriend.

(Choose your own adventure!)

[[ooc: Hope I did this right....]]

Technically, Ami knew better than to even skirt that area, even though she could more than handle herself in a fight. Masanori would likely begin wailing and generally making a nuisance of himself if he heard even a whisper of her presence in the area, moaning and carrying on about her being, in his own words, 'pedo-bait'. He was unreasonable, but... sincere in his worry. It was part of why she had privately vowed never to tell him about her brief kidnapping by human traffickers.

It didn't matter now, anyways. Sensei had saved her, and killed the men who took her.

She paused, the delivery that brought her this way finally finished, when she exited a shop and saw the man himself walking. "...Uchiha-sensei?"

Sensei.... Sensei??

He didn't need to be told twice to know that he had been spotted by Ami.

In a place like this.

In civilian clothes.

Looking extremely suspicious for all the above reasons.

"Ami?" Surprisingly, his voice was calm, and he almost patted himself on the back for not flinching. "What are you doing here?" He should have known not to ask such an obvious question that would lead him to be answering the same. But it was too late now. The words had already left him. He might as well attempt small talk until he could find the perfect opportunity to shunshin to a more respectable part of town.

"I was dropping off a bolt of cloth somebody ordered," she said, hooking a thumb over her shoulder towards the shop she had just exited. "I think they're making a banner."

She padded over to him, her blank expression brightening a small fraction. "I didn't know you were back from your mission already." I missed you, she didn't say, but some of the sentiment bled into her large green eyes.

"It's always stated that weather never stays predictable for long." He's mostly just throwing out random words as he peers and tries to not stare as they walk.

Though he does turn from looking at an odd sort of wear and tear on one side of a building to stare at Nori for a moment.

"Of course on purpose, though everyone pretends it was an accident as well I bet."

But, then you said library and all thoughts of people falling or being shoved off a mountain is forgotten. Luckily Ori has never needed to use a political mask because his face gives away all of his emotions over the prospect of knowledge.

"Is it public or is it one of those must be an actual citizen to even look at?"

It's been months it seems since she'd last seen or even spoken to Shisui. Actually, if she stopped to take an accurate count it's probably been closer to a year. Not since their fail-date. She'd noticed of course, but she tried not to let it bother her. Tried not to take it personally, people came and went all the time, and while she'd thought that maybe they could have developed a friendship maybe the lack of further communication was meant to indicate he didn't feel the same. Or maybe he'd just gotten caught up in missions. Anything was possible.

So when she saw Shisui approaching her as she was walking on one of the few opportunities she got to wander, Hinata took a deep breath to calm the nerves trying to climb up her spine. He was just a person, a fellow shinobi of the village, saying hello would not be out of place. As she got closer she waved, a warm smile on her face. "Ah hello Shisui-san."

[She knows that look and it makes her laugh as a broader grin stays on her face.]

I hope you've been doing a good job of it then. I know how he gets when he focuses too much on one thing. You made sure he ate regularly and kept him out of trouble, right? Unless something else came up?

[Even if the grin stays, a hint of a tease is present, since she is teasing. Sort of. She did recall times where he'd get so distracted by his work during his tenure of Hokage that she began bringing him food to make sure he ate something. And now it was a level of distraction she could understand completely, having been in his shoes for a few years for Uzushio's benefit.]

Oh. She was not going to ask him what he was doing here? Perhaps she already assumed he was up to no good? That was his guilty conscience speaking, even though he never had anything to feel guilty about. The circumstances were suspicious. That was all.

"Physically, yes," he tells her. "But I am technically still at work." His reasons for frequenting this part of town weren't so unsavory after all. Still, he glances off in the direction she had just pointed to him, as if to ensure that her intentions for visiting the area left nothing to raise any hint of concern.

When he looks back to her, he returns that unspoken sentiment in her eyes with a smile and a gentle squeeze to her shoulder. "It's... looking to be quite a long mission." This time he sounds apologetic.

[It is likely a good thing this particular otter is used to injured people by this point otherwise the automatic wise cracks may have stalled when he realized just who was in his little camp.]

My, my boss have you come all the way out here to patch together my route?

[It's a good thing Houou likes him and that he already has a medical kit out and unrolling it because anyone else may have beat him in the face for that.]

Pull up a bit of dirt or rock.

She had thought about it, briefly, but she wasn't Masanori; Ami was far more inclined to believe the best of their instructor and his business in the area, rather than leap to the more wild or inappropriate conclusions. Besides; she had a deep admiration for the Uchiha and the Military Police that had taken root at an early age. He surely had a good reason for being here, like she did.

"I see," she said, tilting her head to one side. "I... hope I didn't get in your way?" Was she interrupting his mission, even now? Should she have not approached him?

He had been busy. Extremely busy. He had even acquired two new genin, and one of them had proven to be more than a handful. On top of that, there were all those missions. Before he knew it, a year had gone by.

But she was not the only one finding it difficult to keep the butterflies down.

"Hinata-san." It's easier to smile when she was smiling, though it did nothing to calm the butterflies in his tum. "It's been a while! Too long. What's going on?" With you. What's going on with you.

[And oh the smile she turns on him is brilliant. There's a bounce in her step now as they walk. His willingness to join her for lunch filling her with excitement, especially given how long it has been since he was last in the village for a visit.] I hope you like what I picked. I wasn't expecting you to be visiting.

But things have been pretty good. [She shrugs pushing a section of her hair back behind her ear. That wasn't entirely true, but she didn't think a visit was the best time to explain how her family decided to make such a life-changing decision for her in recent months. Right now she just wanted to soak up as much time with her missing teammate until he came home permanently.] You missed a couple interesting missions while you've been gone.

It's such a guileless joy that Nori's sharp smile softens by a few degrees in turn. Ori is the greatest treasure in the world, and one he never had to steal.

"Part of it's public," he says with a shrug, then a casual little wink. "But if there're other books you might need, I'll see what I can do."

The great building looming down the face of the mountain peak looks rather intimidating, but Nori can see a hundred different exits already. Just in case someone took offense to him helping his little brother out.

"What is it yer studyin' again? Foreign policy?"

Her smile widens at his was greeting. Maybe he had just been busy, and that was okay. She couldn't fault him for that, so many of the Uchiha were sought after for many of the high rank missions. Lord knew she barely saw Sasuke and he was her genin teammate and best friend.

"It's alright, you've been busy I imagine," she says softly with a hint of a forgiveness underlying her words. "Training and clan things. I think Sasuke is on a mission. Obito got engaged to Maito Gai." She pauses touching her index finger to her mouth as she thinks of other important events around the village. Trying to sort out what Shisui might already know and what he doesn't.

Yeah, yeah. I took him lunch. [ Kind of an irritating errand but he cares for his Dad, and knows that his Mom puts his father's well being in his hands when she's away, so.. what choice did he have, really?

He turns then, setting to preparing his own lunch now that the hot water has boiled. All this talk of food is making him hungry. He peels the lids back on both the noodle pots. ]

Sat with him for a little too. Until I got bored.
