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.]

[As soon as the door's shut he shifts back into robot mode. Another chill, eugh.]

The name's Blurr. I assume you also have a name?

[personal profile] stillshinigami 2013-09-11 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's Duo.

[He picked up speed to a brisk walk over towards the beach, scanning the ground as he walked for wood and kindling.]

Got any ideas as to what the deal is with the physical affection thing?
stillbeatingspark: (I can't move)

[personal profile] stillbeatingspark 2013-09-11 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Following suit after him, resuming the high-speed chatter.]

As you suggested it could be a coolant malfunction, which isn't out of the question considering damage I may have taken prior to my arrival here. Nothing else seems to be out of the ordinary, however, so that will be kept in mind as a worst case scenario. This may also be an effect of lacking physical contact; the explanations I was given concerning that were unclear in certain areas. I haven't had any reason to ask around about such effects until today, either, since it happened so suddenly.

[personal profile] stillshinigami 2013-09-11 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
[You know Blurr, you really got a knack for keeping the attention on you.]

You need it, though, I'm okay with it. [He picked up another few branches off the ground as they neared closer to the beach.]

If you show me the component and tell me what It's supposed to look like I could try to see if it's broken. I'd like to think I'm good enough to figure it out.
stillbeatingspark: (Always towards the future)

[personal profile] stillbeatingspark 2013-09-11 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[So he's been told, yes.]

What sort of experience with machinery do you have? You obviously have it, I'd just like to know to what extent.

[personal profile] stillshinigami 2013-09-11 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Friendly reminder.]

I'm a mechanic, kinda understudied an engineer for a while. Aside from that I've got a mobile suit I pilot and maintain.

That's what I thought you might have had someone inside of you.
stillbeatingspark: (Time passes by)

[personal profile] stillbeatingspark 2013-09-11 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Plenty of experience, then. [Whatever a mobile suit is. Something as big as he is, apparently.

He's still obviously hesitant, but the opportunity to get this looked at sooner rather than later is extremely tempting.
]

I'll let you have a look, but don't be poking around too much, okay? If you're unsure of what something is, ask before you touch it. And if I ask you to stop, stop. Agreed?

[personal profile] stillshinigami 2013-09-11 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Probably bigger.]

Don't think it'll be much of a problem if it's only one thing. If not we'll hope the fire works.
trademark_skull: (Denial)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2013-09-11 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[That is still one of the craziest things he's heard... but he has heard crazier.]

If you say so..

[No way you could be human if you're over a thousand, anyway. Probably closer to his age if anything!]

[personal profile] stillshinigami 2013-09-11 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
You got it.

[Finally on the beach, he walks towards the center with his bundle of sticks and digs small hole in he sand. Pulling back to his pocket, he pulls out a lighter and some paper, an old receipt, and lit it on fire, getting the kindling going.]

I don't plan on getting too intimate with your parts today. Kinda figure I should be able to tell if the components are off or not.
stillbeatingspark: (Without looking aside)

[personal profile] stillbeatingspark 2013-09-11 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Definitely bigger.]

Right. It should be simple enough, I only wanted to make sure that was understood.

[He sits down in the sand to get closer to Duo's level, and with a slight depressurizing hiss his chest plate swings down. What's inside honestly doesn't look too unlike a racing car's engine bay, although in the center of it all there was a large, circular hatch.]

[personal profile] stillshinigami 2013-09-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[He got the fire going good before pulling away and looking and approaching to the hatch.

The center, some kind of power core.]


What kind of energy is this?
unionjackoff: (nobody came)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2013-09-11 08:09 am (UTC)(link)
In any case, if we cannot get back to our world, this place will continue to take our powers. I have been trying to return since the day I got here.

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-11 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Nanako giggles, holding on to Yu tighter, nuzzling him. She wishes that this moment could last forever.

Unfortunately, all that excitement was bound to tucker her out soon or later. Big Brother, you may hear a yawn coming from little sis and attempting to hide it by burying her face into his shoulder.]
itsjunestime: (giggle ♪ fills up every corner)

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-11 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Go!

[Nanako lets go of her lantern, watching it drift up to the sky. The little girl giggles happily, marveling how beautiful the light look.]

It's so pretty, Chie-chan...
bittyschemes: (They all have their pros and cons)

Re: /Nibbles on the RG headcanon ^-^

[personal profile] bittyschemes 2013-09-11 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turns his attention from the lanterns. That didn't sound like an 'okay it's bedtime' to him. They're staying out for a while? He's definitely not complaining! Even if it turns into a field trip, it's still an excuse to stay up late.

He looks around and spots a vendor selling snacks. Tugging at his chaperon's shirt to get his attention directed that way. He's wondering if he can wrangle something sugary out of this deal.]
callmewhateveryuwant: (At peace)

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-09-11 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Alright kiddo, he hears that. As much as it's nice and pretty to see all the floating lights, he knows that Nanako is tired. He's silent, letting his little sister sleep as he started heading back to the apartment.

Yes, he's truly content here.]


trademark_skull: (Don't you even)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2013-09-13 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Well if they're going to steal it, we just need to take it back.

[...He has no idea how he was supposed to do this, but there had to be something.]
unionjackoff: (i say hello)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2013-09-13 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree! Though I don't know where they keep it.
trademark_skull: (Thinking this through)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2013-09-13 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
It must be somewhere big, and tightly guarded...

[Well, this sure will bring back memories.]

Do they have any kind of important buildings anywhere? Like a City Hall or something?
unionjackoff: (and calls me on and on)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2013-09-13 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yes. There's a government building not too far from here. But every time I've tried to go there, i haven't been able to talk to anyone important. Last week, i waited all day to speak with someone, only for them to tell me they couldn't help me. And since my powers are gone, there was nothing I could do... At least nothing that wouldn't get me tossed into prison.
trademark_skull: (Something suspicious)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2013-09-13 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[..That's right, this would be hard if they were powerless.]

Is there any way to sneak inside?
unionjackoff: (feeling you holding me tight)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2013-09-13 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[now you're speaking his language]

I'm sure there is.
trademark_skull: (Disappoint)

[personal profile] trademark_skull 2013-09-13 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good, because he has no idea what he's doing or what he's possibly getting himself into.]

'Guess we'll just need to find one.
unionjackoff: (wiping the dirt from his hands)

[personal profile] unionjackoff 2013-09-13 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright. I'll show you around the open areas of the building first, then we can start looking for other entrances inside.
