Test Drive Meme!

[rekindlemods]

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

[The midsummer heat is still in full swing. But that's okay - enterprising residents on the riverbanks are renting out innertubes for you to float along the cool waters in. The catch? They're innertubes for two, and you're sharing with the person ahead of/behind you in line! Get nice and cozy, you two.]

Option 2

[There's something odd about some of the shops in the third district. There doesn't seem to be any pattern - it's something that can be found in all sorts of establishments. But if you see the twin daisy sign in the window, it turns out that you can get a discount when making a purchase with someone else. It could be someone you know, or someone new entirely, but so long as you both reach the checkout at the same time, you get the discount - a pretty substantial one too! So hey, look and see if there's anyone else shopping with you! Could be a great way to stretch the allowance you've been given.]

Option 3

[Even if there are no children among the natives, it doesn't stop the adults from being a little immature - or maybe the heat's just getting to them. If you glance around, you might notice almost-hidden baskets of water balloons, tucked under benches and against trash cans... If you didn't notice, though, it might be an awful surprise when one hits the back of your head. And when you whip around to look - well, it's probably not immediately obvious who the culprit is. Will you brush it off, yell and scream, or take revenge on the town at large?]

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.]

You put them in a pan.

[And then magic happens.]

[ex_fatalist246]

[another pause]

I don't have pans.

[So. They get them?]

[kunstlied]

[Yes.]

The Niwa have pans.

[Pause.]

You can put bread in them, too.

[This is very convincing.]

[ex_fatalist246]

[Bread? In pans?]

Huh.

[Weird.]

[kunstlied]

Will you eat them?

[ex_fatalist246]

I guess.

[It's possible that will happen. He has spare time now. He guesses he could try to cook sausages.]

[kunstlied]

[Bread, sausage and tea. That seems like a meal. Though it lacks all the other food the Niwa eat.

Argentine grabs a bag of rice while they look for pans.]

...That pan looks suitable for you.

[ex_fatalist246]

[The pan is extremely expensive, decorated in ornate engravings. It is the prettiest, most elegant pan in the whole store.]

All right.

[He picks it up. They now have a pan.]

[kunstlied]

[Hurray Creator approves :|b

There is probably more they need but he will consult with the Niwa child later for what foods are required.

For now, there is a question that has plagued him.]

...What is a discount?

[ex_fatalist246]

[Oh. Right.]

It's when they charge you less money than usual for the same thing.

[Human lessons with Satoshi!]

[kunstlied]

[Hmm...]

By being together, they treat us better... I see.

[He will stay by Satoshi's side so he may get all the discounts.]

[ex_fatalist246]

It's probably to encourage relationships.

[Hugging. Everywhere. So weird.]

[kunstlied]

Will your form relationships as well, Creator?

[ex_fatalist246]

[pause]

[really argentine.]

I'm not that interested . . . in forming relationships with people.

[kunstlied]

He is silent here, isn't he?

[Live it up, Creator. Have friends. Party.]

[ex_fatalist246]

[But why break the habit of a sad, isolated lifetime?

He has no counterargument. Dammit.

He picks up a basket for them and puts the stuff in it.]

[kunstlied]

[Argentine follows behind him.]

The Niwa child would agree.

[ex_fatalist246]

Probably. [He is not interested in having this conversation with a three hundred year old work of art.]

[kunstlied]

You hold his opinions in high esteem.

[ex_fatalist246]

[He glances back towards Argentine. No, he doesn't hold his opinion in high esteem. That is an outlandish thought.] He has a different approach to this sort of thing than I do.

[kunstlied]

You appreciate his approach.

[Otherwise why else give Argentine to him? And let him have so much Hikari works??]

[ex_fatalist246]

Our approaches to things... will always be different. [Hikari and Niwa, white and black, artist and thief, etc etc.] This is mine.

['This' meaning 'not approaching friendship.']

[kunstlied]

[Argentine's feelings on both families are a little mixed and complicated but his feelings on Daisuke and Satoshi are pretty simple.]

...He will probably want you to make friends.

[ex_fatalist246]

That's his business. [WE ARE GOING TO THE CHECKOUT NOW. WE ARE BUYING FOOD AND GOING HOME. WE ARE NOT DISCUSSING FRIENDSHIP.]
