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, 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.]

"Dude were you really just hiding in my curtains about to watch me brush my teeth?" The teasing could go both ways. No use trying to hide it. He proceeded to grab his toothbrush and the toothpaste. "This is what getting trapped in this city has reduced us to huh? Boy Wonder climbing through your windows and checking on your dental care."

[ichoosefight]

[ She can't help but roll her eyes. ]

Yeah, she's a friend. [ And if he knows her as M'gann then he's probably part of her team-that-isn't-teen-titans. ] How do you know each other?

[selfmadespeedster]

[Oh shoot what was that fictional excuse to explain knowing her? He was typically just introduced as one of Conner's buddies from the last town he lived in or something of the sort.]

Our uncles are friends. [Well it's true.] We met at one of those bring your kid to work day events- we got to go since neither of our uncles have their own children. [There that's a totally believable story isn't it? Good job Man, that was clever.]

[ichoosefight]

[ She blinks for a moment. That was actually a reasonably coherent story. How many superheroes were nieces or nephews to other superheroes? Well, that didn't include throwing 'uncle' in as a nonspecific relative. ]

So your uncle's a detective? That's what her uncle does. [ Or at least, it is in her universe, according to Batman's files. It can't hurt to ask. ]

[ex_shadowstep567]

[That's better! Thankfully with his ears the little kid's quiet speech was eaily picked up on.]

I'm cold b-bbecause... well I dunno! I should be hot!

[selfmadespeedster]

Yeah. Well my uncle Barry focuses more on the forensics end of things, but they're both law enforcement.

[Hey this was turning out really legit sounding! He'd have to remember this story and tell M'gann about it later on.]

So you uh met Megan here in the city?

[erasponsible]

[Its nice to find that Madoka isn't afraid of her, but there were so many other things wrong that it hadn't cheered her any to discover. There was no way to reset her fate when they were stuck here, so she would simply have to play along until it was time to get back to business.

Her stare softens just enough to take the angry edge away from it.]

There is no reason for you to apologize.

[She glances toward the rejected man wandering off to find someone else.]

If he wanted to ask me anything, then he would have.

[ribbow]

Maybe he was just too shy. You're so cool and collected now that any boy would be scared to approach you.

[ She'll be Homura's wingman any day. ] Oh, but I don't think you're that scary Homura-chan!

[ It was still a lot to take in. Too much to fully understand why her friend wore her hair differently now or didn't need glasses anymore. Though she doesn't start to walk yet to ask a question that's important to her. ]

Do you need to take a break? I don't want to push you too hard.

[bittyschemes]

Maybe you would be warmer if you went inside?

[It's pretty warm in the buildings. At least he thinks so. He also thinks it's pretty warm out here though.]

[erasponsible]

[Homura turns to consider Madoka for a moment again, shrugging and reaching under the back of her head to toss her hair off her shoulders. She didn't think her scary because she didn't know any better, of course.]

Maybe you should.

[Her eyes open a moment after Madoka asks if she needed a break. She hadn't bothered to take the time to explain what had happened to her, because it wasn't important. She wasn't about to explain now -- she would likely figure it out on her own anyway.]

Was there something you wanted to do?

[ichoosefight]

[ Barry. Well that settles it then, he must be one of the flashes. She doesn't know which, but does it really matter? They all have the same powers. She smiles and nods her sudden understanding. ]

Yeah, first day actually. I'm Steph.

[ribbow]

[ She should? That's weird, but maybe Homura's picked up a new sense of humor along with all of her other changes. No sweat, Madoka will work around it. ]

Oh, there's a lot to do here. [ Admittedly, it was daunting with how much there was to occupy their time with. ] Have you ever been to a festival before?

[erasponsible]

[Had she? She had repeated the last month so many times she could barely remember anything but that. There is a long and somewhat uncomfortable pause before Homura simply supplies:]

Not in a long time.

[ribbow]

Then please do anything you want, Homura-chan. [ Giving a jovial laugh despite her ignorance of Homura's situation. ] This will be my treat!

I don't have much, but we'll do anything you want. Is there a ride you'd like to try or oh! We can try to eat a little bit of everything until our bellies ache from too much food!

[selfmadespeedster]

Nice meeting you Steph. I'm Wally. So where are you from?

[He says it all in a smug tone he often uses when he meets a lady.]

[erasponsible]

[Homura listens to everything Madoka rattles off, ignoring the sinking pit in her stomach. There was nothing she wanted to do except to walk off, leave this village, and find a way to rid Madoka of her burden -- something that was impossible so long as they were stuck here. As such, nothing appealed to her until Madoka mentioned eating.

She was not hungry. The thought of food made her slightly more ill. But there was nothing she could do to alleviate the problem at hand, currently. If Madoka wanted to walk around the festival and enjoy snacks, well...

Homura offered a small, polite nod.]

I will accompany you.

Re: /Nibbles on the RG headcanon ^-^

[self_replication]

[Frivolous they may be, certainly, but Vexen's in the strange place of logic and emotion and sometimes, just sometimes, it sneaks up and grabs him. Not that he would ever admit to anything other than being pleased so see someone with the same memories as him.

He watches the light trail behind the others, arms crossed and face unreadable until finally he nods in approval over something.] Come. No doubt you have other agendas you wish to pursue.

[Wishes might be silly, but festivities while never his thing, are something that children enjoy.

He might also end up turning this into a field trip, just saying.]

[ribbow]

[ What part of this being her treat did Homura fail to catch on? Her friend's left her confused, but she bounces back from it in record time. ]

No, I'll accompany you. [ While she's trying to be firm about it, Madoka's naturally shy demeanor keeps the tone from coming across too strong. ] So lead the way, Homura-chan.

[erasponsible]

[There are two blinks from Homura before she simply moves to stride passed Madoka. Leading. She can do that.

It'll become apparent pretty quickly that she is just content with walking, rather than actually indulging in anything. But in that same moment of realization, she'll speak up without turning around.]

I would not feel comfortable taking money from you, Madoka Kaname-san. You should just enjoy yourself.

[ichoosefight]

Newark. [ The lie comes easily. ] You? And what did you need with Megan?

[ribbow]

Huh, but the point is to enjoy yourself so if you have no means to do that, it'll be alright to share.

[ Her voice picks up to show just how serious she is on the matter as she struggles to keep up with Homura. Since when was she so good at walking (or anything really)? ]

I guess I'll just have to buy the largest serving and split it with you.

[womb2tomb]

She gave a big smile and another nod. "Thank you. I will practice more." Especially if that's the common gesture of introduction around here. She wasn't sure about that, but you never know.

Right. Original business. She looks back to the food. "Is this food for... anyone?"

[selfmadespeedster]

I'm from Central City area. [As for M'gann. Oh shoot, you can't just tell a girl "I intend to go hug your friend." Even boyfriends didn't talk that way usually.]

Juuuust going to check on her. Ask her opinion on the whole physical contact withdrawal flu being real or not. She's been here longer and all.

[erasponsible]

[Don't ask questions you don't want the answers to, Madoka.

Homura stops fairly abruptly and turns to notice that she's walking a bit too fast. She'll have to tone it down if she wants to keep Madoka from getting too suspicious of her. Better to avoid questions as long as possible -- there was no telling what could happen to the timeline if they suddenly both appeared back in Mitakihara as they were.]

...if you insist.

[ex_shadowstep567]

W-whatever it t-takes! Lead the w-way?
