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.]

[It's the zombie part that people tend to get stuck on, though. He doesn't really think they'll get past... that.

She's smiling now.

Hurry, you idiot.

Say something to make it last.]

Errr......

[personal profile] grigio 2013-09-02 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Julie's starting to see past it on occasion. Like now when her hand actually reaches for his own, fingers curling around his hand ever so gently.]

Is that a yes? I'll say please if I have to. Just..c'mon. It's more fun watching the lanterns with someone, so I hear.

lovesthecure: http://famira.livejournal.com/205888.html (uncertain)

Oh! Nanako-chan, there you are!

[A familiar brown-haired teen runs up to the girl, a bright look in her eyes to match the lantern she held in her hands. She certainly seemed happy to see Nanako.]

I was looking for you so we could make our wishes together. I'm glad I found you in time...

Isn't it obvious?

[She snaps this, although it's not necessarily obvious, especially as Volumen Hydragyrum is not listening to anything she says--and it's ridiculous that she's speaking to it at all, as it should obey her automatically, responding to her will and magecraft alone.

Volumen Hydragyrum sends out spikes, until it looks something like a shiny silver hedgehog, and Kendra sighs in irritation as it starts to spin around her.

At least it continues to seem harmless--in spite of the fact that it isn't, but Kendra fails to believe it would attack her, even when it's responding so poorly.
]

Although I'm thinking of replacing it very shortly.

[She says this sternly, but Volumen Hydragyrum pays her words no mind.]
redpeacoat: (what's that?)

[personal profile] redpeacoat 2013-09-02 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Watching the lanterns float away was fun, but he noticed that one little girl hadn't yet released hers. She reminded him a little of Miki, but older. He steps closer, but if the little girl gets frightened, he'll let her be.]

Don't wanna let it go?
smallspot: Dia-Story Time (Story Time)

[personal profile] smallspot 2013-09-02 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Diarmuid is about to ask her what a magus is when she explains. Unfortunately, while there is a lot of magic in the world he comes from, it is used only by certain groups of people. If she's not a goddess then...]

Does that mean you are a druid? Druids use magic where I am from. Especially magic tired to nature! Your element must be the water then. That is why it listens to you so well!

[As if there was every any question to that...]

Can you speak to any other elements? Or is it just water that answers your call?

Xion (Animus!transplant) | Kingdom Hearts [Options 2 and 4]

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2013-09-02 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[2]

[Though Xion wants to be skeptical when she hears about the lights, the stories behind them, there's something about it that draws her in. A childlike hope, one she hasn't been able to quite quash yet.

She's off by herself, holding her lantern in her hands. Eyes closed, she pictures the thing she wants most, the thing she misses most, then lets the lantern go, soaring up until she can't pick it out among all the others being released.

That done, she sits down, curls up into a ball, and lets the waves lap at her feet, blinking back the sudden watering in her eyes as she thinks about her wish. She just wants her family back...]


[4]

[Xion was still wary about all of this. About everything - particularly the NPCs. After a year and a half in Animus she just... can't trust people who can randomly drag people from their worlds to another, even if they weren't saying the Tower had been destroyed.

This of course all assumed that this wasn't some elaborate illusion anyway. Which Xion was still not entirely convinced. Though did the admins even have enough power to generate this level of an illusion anymore?

She didn't know, but she wasn't about to take chances. Not to mention she hadn't found anybody else from the Tower yet, let alone someone she felt like cuddling with.

She didn't know if this... whatever this was... was the "catch" to her not listening, or something else entirely. She had a funny feeling she already knew, but...

She's stumbling down the hallway now, trying to make it to her room and see if she can sleep this off. Whatever it is. The fact that she's dizzy enough to make it difficult to see straight isn't helping though...]

Two...

[And right on the last number,]

Three!

[And time to let the lantern fly into the sky.]
afterthemoon: (Default)

Isa (AU) | Kingdom Hearts | Option 2 (Other options available on request)

[personal profile] afterthemoon 2013-09-02 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
[What's there for Isa to wish for anymore? He has the thing he wants the most. Besides, it's not like the lanterns could really grant the wish anyway, right? It was just a local fairy tale, or something.

But, he'll be a good sport and participate anyway. He's not completly cynical.]

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-02 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
Three!

[Once they've released the lantern, Nanako takes Yu's hand, squeezing it as she finally made her wish. She follows the lantern's ascent until it joined the others floating to the sky.]

I hope everyone's wishes come true.

[personal profile] earthshards 2013-09-02 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[It's... odd, and strangely unnerving, to be around so many people at once. There hadn't been nearly this many people around when he had first arrived, and without the black coat, Terra felt oddly exposed.

It had come as a pleasant surprise to him when he'd acquired festival garments and he had gotten dressed without any sort of difficulty that evening. The baggy, pleated pants - hakama? - had felt really familiar, too. Like he was used to moving in them.

At most, he's maybe expecting to see Sora wishing for his friends here. What he isn't expecting is seeing a girl curled up on the riverbank, looking like she's about to break down and cry.

Call him nosy, or call him concerned. Either way, he hates seeing anyone sad like this when everyone else seems happy. He quietly makes his way over to her, and crouches down so that he's closer to her level.]
Are you all right?

[With the distance closed between them, something about her looks... very familiar. But with her face hidden like that, he couldn't even begin to pinpoint it.]
itsjunestime: (happy ♪ suddenly i see)

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-02 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Chie-chan!

[Nanako releases one arm to wave to the older, equally happy to see one of her big brother's friends.]

I waiting for you, too! Let's make our wishes together~
itsjunestime: (bashful ♪ leave you hanging on a wire)

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-02 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Nanako shyly looks up at the older teen, shaking her head.] I'm waiting for someone, mister...

[Oh. Well, that's a good reason. Hopefully they're not too far off. A little girl shouldn't be out by herself.

He steps towards the river and lets his own lantern go. He hadn't planned on participating, but someone had handed it to him earlier.]
spunkydragon: (Default)

[personal profile] spunkydragon 2013-09-02 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
[She waves back, her usual cheerful smile on her face as she finally reaches Nanako.]

Aww, thanks! You're so nice, Nanako-chan. [Seriously, she's super glad she met Yu and got to meet her. Chie was missing out.]

Have you figured out what you're gonna wish for yet?
attheclocktower: (doubt ♡ pick a star on the dark horizon)

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2013-09-02 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[The voice makes her jerk her head up and around, and she all but leaps to her feet. There's a bit of nervousness on her face, but it's almost entirely overwhelmed by relief.]

T-Terra! You mean you're-

[And then she realizes. He looks different. Far too different. No coat, hair tied back... but most importantly, no collar around his neck, as there was around hers still. Her face falls almost immediately.]

Nevermind. [She looks away] I'm fine. Sorry.
itsjunestime: (happy ♪ suddenly i see)

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-02 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
[She watches the lantern float up, that shy expression she had earlier made way for one of wonder. Her eyes twinkled as brightly as the lights that were decorating the night sky with their splendor.]

[Absently:] It's so pretty...
itsjunestime: (blushing ♪ i could be a tower)

[personal profile] itsjunestime 2013-09-02 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
Ehehe! [She smiles, blushing at the compliment. Nanako was glad to meet Chie, too. In fact, she was happy she got meet all of her big brother's friends.] Yeah! My wish is for my dad. What about you, Chie-chan?
earthshards: (pic#6295970)

[personal profile] earthshards 2013-09-02 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[There's always something to local folklore, however silly it might seem. At least, that's what this festival-goer is telling himself as he looks at the lanterns floating over the water, a lit lantern in his hands.

He probably cuts a vaguely familiar, if rather different silhouette in his green and brown colored festival garb and his still long hair tied back to keep it out of the way. But his face should be somewhat familiar, even if the colors are wrong there, too.

Whoever this is, his heart's a fractured mess - but parts of that light possibly feel familiar, along with pieces of that darkness.

He's apparently contemplating a wish, if the thoughtful look on his face is any indication.]
What should I...?

[He makes a 'hmmm' sound, and releases the lantern. He watches it drift away for a moment before he turns -

And stops in place when he spots a somewhat familiar head of blue hair. The shock is rather plain to see on his face, along with apprehension.]
Saïx?

[A seeming stranger knows your name; what do?]

[Of all the reactions he could've been expecting, recognition and relief weren't among them. His gaze follows her as she stands, and as muted as the expression is, the surprise is clear to see on his face.

Aqua. This girl, whoever she is, looks almost exactly like one of his best friends. But the hair is wrong, and the age is wrong.

And still, looks like Aqua. And there's something else that is familiar, in a way that makes his heart ache from remorse.

'Who are you? Why... do I feel guilt looking at you?']
You ... know my name?

[How?

Concern flickers back into his expression as he notes her disappointment, and he tries to ignore the odd surge of sadness that accompanies that returning concern.]
Are you sure? I'm sorry that I'm not who you were expecting, but...

[He lets the sentence hang there, unsure of how to finish it. ... ... how do you try to cheer up someone, when you're not sure what the problem is?]
midgarhorizon: ((Last Scene) Oh please)

[personal profile] midgarhorizon 2013-09-02 07:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Yup. That there was one (1) redhead turk wandering around the area and watching the lanterns float.

He doesn't carry one himself. Honestly, he wouldn't know what he would wish for if he had.

All the people he had met at Animus... well, there probably weren't enough wishes in this world for that kinda thing, anyway. Besides, who would want Ganondorf set free?

If he was even out of that place, and after everything that happened, he was none too sure this wasn't some big hallucination. It would be just like them, making someone think they were in another world only to yank them back.

Thinking thoughts like that, he wandered along the water's edge, pausing when he spotted what looked like a familiar figure. Nah. It couldn't be.

It was probably another version, at best. Still, curiosity drove him to saunter over, hands in pockets, and lean over to see her face when he got close.]

...Xion?

[Yeah, he felt pretty dumb as soon as he said it, of course it wasn't her.]

['Make a wish and let go,' they said. 'Your wish would come true,' they said. Though while he didn't believe it could happen, and it nearly didn't the last time, Riku couldn't help but stare at his own little paper lantern. Still, seemed like a lot of childish stuff ended up right before. Why not?

Yet as he let it go, he couldn't help but notice someone closer to the water. Were they...crying?

Call him a knight again or whatever, he decides to approach quietly.]


Hey; what's wrong?

[But wait, her face... Why does it seem so- familiar? Though it'd be rude to say "wait, weren't you in Sora's dream?" right now.]
redpeacoat: (what is it?)

[personal profile] redpeacoat 2013-09-02 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Looking away after releasing it, Shinjiro follows her gaze and finds himself watching his lantern again. His lantern will join the others to light up the sky.

He responds softly.]

Mmhmm.

[how funny it was that two people from two completely different worlds could have so much in common. England, himself, had not been doing very well in the hug department. he was weak now, and he hated that. he needed to find someone to touch quickly, casually.

he catches sight of the blond-haired boy who looks absolutely flustered. hm]


I say, are you alright?
