Test Drive Meme!


Welcome to the Rekindle Test Drive!
Trying to see if a character will fit or work in the setting? Need some interaction samples? Well this meme is for you!

Make a post, tag around, and most importantly, have fun! Here's the setting page for those who want to learn a little more about the city itself.

Then don't forget to go reserve your character, GO GO GO.......

Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it:
Option 1
[The mid-summer rays are beginning to subside at last, giving way to a few cooler breezes here and there as the sun begins to set and the moons rise in the sky. So what does that mean? Well, for the locals, it means it's time to begin preparations for the autumnal festival! The reds, oranges, and yellows take on a more rustic tone in the streets as the venders set up their outdoor marketplace stands, selling all kinds of treats and delicacies.

From fresh corn and pretzels, to strange fruits that may look like those from home (although different in color, not taste), these vendors seem to have it all! Though in a few stands, it seems as though there are snacks and desserts meant to be split in two or shared with another. They also seem to be very fond of giving discounts to couples...

Oh, my...]
Option 2
[Everything on the riverbank seems to be the norm for every other day: Vendors renting out innertubes for two, others selling ice cream and watermelon during the still warm days, and even a few water balloons still being tossed around or kept hidden nearby.

At night, however, there seems to be a gathering at the water's edge as some hold little paper lanterns, aglow with small candles inside them as they gleam golden in the moonlight. The locals say that wishing on them as you let them float into the air brings you good luck, and makes that wish come true. But that's just a silly rumor, isn't it?

At least it's pretty, along with the small candles floating on the water's surface...]
Option 3
[It doesn't matter where you are or what you were doing. All that matters is you've suddenly been hit with the chills (or did the temperature suddenly skyrocket?) and they don't seem to be going away just yet.

Yep. Those wacky scientists seem to be at it again... At least it should pass soon, but whether it be chills or being far too hot, maybe you should...find someone else with this problem. After all, even the face of the medical community says that it will only be fixed by hugging or holding someone's hand.]
Option 4
[Whoops. Looks like you haven't taken the cautionary words of the other NPCs to heart, or maybe you just wanted to take your chances. Either way, the withdrawal symptoms have started and you need to find someone to hug quickly before you get even more sick.]
Option 5
[If there's something else you wanted to play with, that you didn't see here, then have fun with that. You've just arrived in a strange city, after all. There's got to be plenty to explore out and about, not to mention people to meet.]

[3]

[A low rumble reverberates from his chest and throat as this young black lion curls into himself, shivering and--Mostly that really.

He hated the cold. Hate, hate hated it. He was built for the savanna temperatures in theory, but then again his black fur prevented him from being even remotely comfortable in that heat.

At the moment? He was just miserable, so he flopped onto his belly to bask in the sun, only to somehow feel a bit colder. This results in a very pitiful groan.]


Rrrrmm...

[Is that a lion? That's a lion, right?

Ienzo glances around to see if anyone else is nearby. Then his eyes go right back to the lion. Just checking to see it's really still there and not some kind of hallucination.

He doesn't approach, hanging back and watching it from around a corner. He's curious, but he's not stupid or brave enough to creep closer for a better look.]

[His ears perk at the sound of another near him and he turns his big head to look over at this boy. Shadow tilts his head to the side and snorts softly.]

Hey... Rrr. [He's still shivering, looking at him now as he rolls over onto his back to try and force himself to get warm, he rolls again back onto his side and shakes off his fledgeling mane.]

Why's it so cold here? [His jaw only seems to move slightly with consonances, but he's talking. And you thought you were hallucinating before!]
bittyschemes: (And all of us we will endure)

[personal profile] bittyschemes 2013-09-08 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[The lion.... talks? Lions aren't supposed to talk. He's never seen one in person, of course, but he's pretty sure it would have been mentioned in one of his text books if they could.

That makes one of them, he guesses. Not that he can't talk. It just doesn't come easy for him.

He hasn't been eaten yet though, so that's a good sign. He creeps around the edge of the building at least, so that he's no longer hidden, but doesn't come any closer than that. He offers a shrug in response to the question. Spoken answers might take a while for him.]

[He watches the human carefully, himself almost just too cold to move. He set his jaw don and watched him, then lifted his head and paws at the ground.]

Ey. Are you going to say anything? [His ears pinned back.]

You don't have ice powers, do you?
bittyschemes: (To being told you're wrong)

[personal profile] bittyschemes 2013-09-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ears pinned back on an animal is usually a bad sign right? Holding up both hands to try and show he's harmless. And, well, he is only 11 and scrawny. What is he going to do to a full grown lion?

He gives a headshake in answer to the questions. Both of them. Though it would be kind of cool to have a conversation with a lion. The words just kind of die when he tries to get them out. That would be an apologetic look on his face.]

[personal profile] ex_shadowstep567 2013-09-08 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Full grown? A bit of an over shoot considering his size, about a third his adult weight. He certainly outweighed this kid. His ears flick up again as the kid shows his intent of peace.

As the kid struggles to speak he gives him a funny look.]

If t-the c-cat has your t-tounge, it w-wasn't me.
bittyschemes: (In the back of our minds)

[personal profile] bittyschemes 2013-09-08 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, maybe not full grown, but the fact remains a large talking lion is pretty intimidating for a kid.

That last bit gets a surprised look and slow blinking.]

That's just a saying.

[And there go a few words, kind of soft and mumbled. Is he being teased? It's hard to tell. But there's some relief in managing to say something, which eases the anxiety of speaking a bit.]

How can you be cold with so much fur?

[That's better! Thankfully with his ears the little kid's quiet speech was eaily picked up on.]

I'm cold b-bbecause... well I dunno! I should be hot!
bittyschemes: (And all of us we will endure)

Maybe you would be warmer if you went inside?

[It's pretty warm in the buildings. At least he thinks so. He also thinks it's pretty warm out here though.]

W-whatever it t-takes! Lead the w-way?
