Seeing as how it's been about seven months since the last time we did this, it's high time for another...


TEST DRIVE MEME!

Post with the characters you're thinking of apping in to see how they do! Either they've been here a while, are just arriving, or anything you want!

Have fun!

Madara Uchiha [young] - Naruto Shippuden

[maddyragequits]

[At the riverbed once again was Madara, tossing a flat stone up in the air, catching it without even looking at it. His eyes were focused on the water, the small waves.]

That one will make it!

[And then, on the umpteenth descent, the stone was caught, flung and it bounced along the water once, twice.]

...

[It sank after a sploosh noise.]

What the hell!! That's so anticlimactic! [This was the boy's reaction. No, really, he was sure he would get it this time! There was an annoyed frown as he bent down to pick up another stone. He can do it if he wants, he just... wasn't WANTING hard enough this time. That had to be it.]

Hello

[believeit]

[Soon enough a Naruto passes by just... staring, at the kid tossing rocks into the water, and apparently yelling at himself.]

Oi... whatcha doing?

zomg hi

[maddyragequits]

[He is yelling at the stone! THE STONE! and the river too, because it ate it!]

[Looking to the new arrival, he takes on little step closer to the backpack he left on the shore.]

What does it look like I'm doing? Look, I'll get it this time!

[And the stone hops, hops... and hops, and... sploosh!]

...

hey hey B)

[believeit]

[Naruto watches..... and yeah. Unimpressed.]

...You suck at this.

This reaction.. LOL

[maddyragequits]

[Yeah, look who's talking. He takes a stone and throws it at him.]

Oh yeah? You go ahead and try then!

It's great haha

[believeit]

Fine, I will!

[Look at this, he bends down to pick up the stone, walking closer before tossing it at the water.

...


It bounces three times (THREE) before finally sinking, look at that!]

See? And that was my first go.

ahhaha yes

[maddyragequits]

[Three times. How wonderful.]

That's it! [He points an accusing finger.] You're my rival!

omggg

[believeit]

Ehhhh? Why me? I've already got a rival. Well, sorta.

>D

[maddyragequits]

You're the one asking!? You're my rival cause I said so, and no, you can't refuse!

[Have the frown of a lifetime]

B)

[believeit]

You can't just force people into being your rival! [NARUTO THAT IS WHAT YOU DID.]

Who're you anyway?!

These two..LOL

[maddyragequits]

Of course I can! [Yes, he is arguing.]

Name's Madara. [He states, sweeping another stone from the riverbed's assortment and preparing to throw it.]

god they are terrible

[believeit]

No you can't! You cant just--

[WAIT. Waaaaaait.]

Madara? As in.... Uchiha Madara?

Had to

[beforethedarkness]

. . .

[It looks like you're trying to skip the stones, but he has no clue why. Really, what's the point? And... Why does this guy look familiar?

Whatever it is, he just frowns a little before finally approaching. Not that he's saying a word, he's just approaching for now.]

hiyas~

[maddyragequits]

[Visibly straightening, he half-turns just so the stranger isn't approaching him from the back. All this creeping around!]

[Have him looking at you and not saying anything either.]

[throw_stone]

[A youth skipping stones? Ramza approaches, with a bit of a smile.]
You need to find smoother rocks. That makes it a lot easier - the rough ones are caught by the water, and sink quickly.
[He knows his rocks.]

[maddyragequits]

[Have him staring briefly and then just... frowning.]

That rock -was- flat, and smooth! Go ahead, genius! Find me the most special skipping stone ever!

[throw_stone]

Hm...
[Ramza gives a bit of a think, and then... picks one up, from a bit away - before giving it to the young one.]
This one should be better. Give it a try.
[He's just trying to help! Don't be frowny!]

[maddyragequits]

[He is still being frowny, because... well, he is.]

Right... Here it goes then!

[And off the stone goes, sailing through the air, touching water and bouncing, bouncing... bouncing again, and-- falling just short of the shore]

Tch. Almost... But yeah, it was better.

[throw_stone]

It still takes practice, [Ramza says, as he grabs a rock of his own, and throws it - and, yes, it does skip all the way,] but anybody can get better at it.
[His training brought him here, after all. A pause, and,] What's your name?

[maddyragequits]

Whoa! You're too good at that.. Mine almost made it though, I mean-- the shore moved away!
[Yes, it totally did.]

Madara.

[throw_stone]

[A bit of a smile.]
My name is Ramza, Madara. And I've been... well, not trained in skipping stones. But they make for good weapons, if you're trapped far from your own.
[He is best squire.]
Though, in that case, you want to find harsher rocks. [Wait, should he be giving this advice to a child? His expression suddenly turns to slight worry.]

[maddyragequits]

Weapons? yeah, they would. [He nods, because really, in his hands he can make anything a weapon.]

You can also take those and watch em skip on foreheads. [Yes. Weapons indeed. Also, he is far from a child, it may seem, even though he may appear to be eight or nine years old at best.]

[throw_stone]

Y-yes. [Okay, that does catch Ramza off-guard. But he gives a bit of a nod of the head.]
Of course, it wouldn't injure somebody too badly - only enough to retrieve your weapons. [He wants to change the subject, but, uh... well. Young people do sometimes turn to a life of crime, is this one of them? Somebody of the lower classes, who would hate him?]

[maddyragequits]

Nah, a hit on the temple might do 'em away with enough force behind it, and a blunt stone. [Yes, he is sort of scary, that Madara, but he does still seem relatively pleasant still, yes?]

Not that it looks like we've got any weapons. [There is a shrug. It seems he is confident enough without any either way.]

[throw_stone]

[Uh. Sort of. Ramza can't help but feel guilty, though. Because of home angst.]
We don't - they were stripped, yes. But have you heard of Skarmory? [He wants to know if he's the only one planning on harvesting his metal bird for a sword.]
