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
[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.]

Asking for info isn't irrelevant, right?

[Or Shinji could just ask him. Akihiko pays more attention to the network, in case people need help. Or are being stupid and need to get smacked upside the head.]

I know you're not gonna befriend everyone here, Shinji. Still, you've gotta have a back-up plan, just in case. [Akihiko straightens up and fixes his friend with a stern look.] Hell, you don't even tell me when you need help.

[It's no secret how much Akihiko hates that separation tactic. His best friend has been drifting away from him for two years, when they used to spend all their time together. It's a big shock for him, a huge change of pace that he would much rather not get acclimated to.]

But now you know, so... don't wait till it's too late.

[In time, he'd be knowledgeable as well. He didn't want to rely on anyone aside from the minimum amount of physical contact he'd need to stay functional.

He stands up and grabs his purchases. Few in number, but all from an obvious destination.]


You made your point.

[He knows when he's being dismissed.

Carefully, he keeps the emotion off of his face, and puts on a neutral look. It's not like the pushing away doesn't hurt him. He just never talks about it.]


See you later. Take care, man.

[With a slight wave, Akihiko turns around and runs off. Shinji may need contact to keep up his energy, but he doesn't need him specifically. Akihiko plans to do what he can, and outside of that... he isn't sure what to expect.]

[No matter how much his best friend tries to hide it, Aki is always going to be emotional crybaby in his eyes. It's not always a bad thing, but...he knows his solitude bugs him. He wishes it didn't.

Once Akihiko's back to his running, he immediately heads home. Rest sounds good.]
