TDM The First

You probably know how this works, but just in case, here's the idea:
- You put the name of the character you're testing out in the subject line
- You write a starter (or several!) in the comment, with the Lethevale AU of your character.
- People respond with their characters. Threads occur. Friendships are made. The world is put to rights.
- None of the threads in the Test Drive are game-canon.
Here are some prompts to start you off!
1. Seeking Shelter
4. Pay No Attention To The Passage Behind The Curtain
You were riding along the mountain road when your horse, terrified by some dark shadow you couldn't see clearly, screamed and bolted, throwing you. Now you're caught in the middle of nowhere, in Lethe Wood, and the rain is getting heavier by the minute.
But what's that? A light? A house? Perhaps if you knock, they'll give you a bed for the night. It'll all look better in the morning...

2. The Beast! The Terrible Beast!
You took all the precautions. You carried a lantern, kept to the safer streets. Or maybe you didn't. Either way, you were attacked by something as big as a horse, with gleaming white teeth and a hideous howl.
When you run into another person, will you warn them? Will you ask them for a hiding place, or stand and fight? If all else fails, maybe you can use them as live bait...

3. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
Lethevale isn't all monsters and storms. Mostly, but not all. Tonight, there's a party in the Black Swan - dancing, music, and of course, an open bar. Take the chance to get to know your neighbours, why don't you?
4. Pay No Attention To The Passage Behind The Curtain
The two of you were just wandering around Lethe Hall, when you leant on a candlestick, and... what's this? The bookshelf's opened? There's a hole in the wall now, and a spiral staircase leading down into the dark. You know, it's probably best to just leave well enough alone - but you have to admit, it's curious...

"Are you hurt?" he asks, in a low tone, as he approaches. "Did it get to you?"
no subject
"No." Fitzjames is still clearly shaken, but there's something cold in his gaze now, and he seems only partly present. Almost mechanically, he steps forward toward the wounded beast, raises his gun again, and fires a shot into its head.
There may have been some question as to whether the previous wound was fatal, but this one definitely is.
no subject
"You look pale." It's all he can think to say. "Should we find our way inside, before anything worse can happen?"
no subject
Fitzjames feels a kind of shudder as he lowers the pistol and puts it away, and when he looks back at the other man, that cold, blank look is gone and he seems merely shaken and dismayed. "I think so. There's an inn nearby, is there not? Best not to linger."
He glances back down at the creature, steps away.
no subject
In the end, he nods, and starts towards the King's Head, matching his step to the other man's. "In any case, you are owed a drink, I think, for putting an end to that thing."
no subject
Fitzjames laughs softly, humourlessly. "A matter of happenstance. It could have been anyone; I simply happened to be both present and armed. But thank you; I will not say no."
no subject
