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...

no subject
Neji stands by his door, clad all in black, a cloth across his forehead, his hair in a loose braid, barefoot- this being the time of night he would turn in to sleep. His eyes are bright, alert with a wariness that isn't only due to being a stranger in a strange land, but to practice as well. The picture ahead of him, and the din and wind whip of the torrent, tell him what he figures he'll anyway get told--
Without a word, he bows (a shallow, polite thing) and steps to one side, and keeps his eyes from staring at the lady who will soon track mud in.
The home was-- small, even for someone used to shared quarters and nights at the mercy of the elements. It was tidy but cluttered in a way any exotic home should be, with little brass or golden dragons and horses as paperweights to books in script not English, with scrolls of Chinese loosely adorning walls with stern characters in red brushed ink. All of this, lit by a lone candle by a bed stand-- the bed to the far left corner of the place, before a kitchen.
To the kitchen is where Neji heads. There's a fire place there, of course. And someone will need to start it.
He thinks to tell the woman to take her shoes off--
"Will you ask for company to your home after the storm passes, my lady?"
He knew her. Well, hardly. Well-- not at all. But she fed a white cat often, he remembers. So, there's that.
