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 in a week when they open.

Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it:
Option 1
[While the days grow longer and warmer and the older, oriental-style of the city would normally make one think that the interiors would not be much in the way of relief from the hot sun, it may surprise the guest to see that the apartments the natives have allocated for them are surprisingly comfortable. In fact, the only modern convenience they may be missing is a television set! At least, outside the media floor on the first floor of Building One - the first of four inter-connected buildings.

In fact, each apartment building seems to have at least one different amenity on the first floor. In Building Two they seemed to even spare a library in another that seems to have the basics and some information packets that are otherwise found in the Welcome Center in District 2. There are even a few restaurants and common dining areas in the Building Three that are open until late at night, and meeting areas and a ballroom on the first floor in Building Four, perfect for setting up small parties or big events.

With the locals gone save those who work in the restaurants and the one librarian, leaving you to your own devices, what will you do? What mysteries could be left to discover in this place?]
Option 2
[With summer coming, the water level in the river is starting to go down, exposing some of the beach. The Riverside Shack is open late, and its restaurant is pulling out all the stops and offering seafood specials (even though a river is a far cry from an ocean). The rental store, meanwhile, is finally bringing out more of its swimming supplies, inner tubes and pool noodles, and a calmer stretch of the river has been roped off with buoys for swimming. They even have lifeguards chairs set up. Clearly this sort of thing used to be an annual event.

It's not quite an ocean beach (quite different actually), but there's still plenty of chance to have fun in the water. Or teach someone to swim, perhaps.]
Option 3
[If you're more inclined to explore or learn, the City's Learning Center might be more to your tastes. There certainly seems to be a lot going on here - there's laboratories and libraries and workshops, and plenty of communal areas where you can meet and talk with people. The natives seem pretty absorbed with their studies and work, though they're polite in brushing you off, at least.

Perhaps you'll have more luck seeing what other Guests such as yourself have discovered?]
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.]

No voice for her sorry

[Mani backs away a step as the cat came over and started to rub himself against her leg, when he did nothing worse than that she couched down to get a better look at him. When she speaks she keeps her voice quiet.]

Hello.

[With a small smile Mani reaches to scratch the cat behind the ear if he will let her.]

No worries!

[ Not only will Sissel let her, he'll even purr to give the encouragement. Scratches are awesome and attention is even better. Now that she's crouched down, he'll raise himself up by placing his forepaws on her knees and meow up toward her in a friendly manner. Even if she doesn't have a core to communicate with, that doesn't mean Sissel won't keep up an internal commentary.

Good afternoon, young miss. How long have you been here, I wonder? ]

You are very cute. What are you? Can you talk?

[Mani will keep petting the cat for as long as it's willing to get her. She might be tempted to pick him up even.]

[ Sissel tilts his head. Who doesn't know what a cat is? But in response, he gives a small headshake. He is so cool with the idea of being picked up that he is almost an ice cube, however, so Mani should totally do it. He gives no indication of being averse to her attention and hopes the idea gets across. ]

[Someone who's never seen one before of course.]

Oh... I'm Mani, I don't know how I'm going to learn your name if you can't talk but it's still nice to meet you.

[And Mani does scoop the cat up as she stands up.]

Were you being so friendly because you were asking for help?

[ Sissel kicks his back legs a bit once he's in the air, then lets her do whatever. It's not like anything she could do would hurt him.

He gives a quick little mrrrt in the negative, but considering her unfamiliarity with felines in general he has no idea how she'll interpret it. Sissel just wanted some good ol' fashion hug time. ]

[Mani frowns for a second trying to figure out what the sounds means. It almost sounds like a growl, so she thinks it's a no.]

Oh? So you're this friendly anyway? That's nice. And now we're both good for a while anyway.

[Mani changes her grip on Sissel slightly and starts scratching him behind the ear again.]

I wonder what kind of world you're from, are there people like me in it? Or humans? Or are they all like you?

[ Multiple-choice questions aren't fair! How is he supposed to indicate which is correct? He leans into the petting while he considers the options. There's nothing around to really trick in any specific way, so he can't even use his powers creatively right now.

He gives her a long look, as if asking her to say something else he can try responding to. Take two, miss Mani. ]

"Oh right... you can't talk." Mani realises as the cat stares at her. "Sorry."

"Uh... is everyone in your world like you?"

[ Sissel shakes his head with another mrrrrt. Definitely not: he's one-of-a-kind. At least she's getting the picture now. Maybe things could go more smoothly! ]
