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.]

Comments

[substandard]

[items of which that Draco paid little attention to in the frenzy of his initial arrival, since he was quite panicked—and later forgot about. normally, Draco's a bit more bright... but actually, that's more in books than anything.

his pale skin piteously gives away his embarrassment that he hides behind a taught expression, his ears burning bright pink, stark against his platinum hair. Draco tries not to stammer, stubbornly refusing to admit to his blunder.]

Well, I didn't do anything with them. I've still got them, just—[Draco looks this strange girl up and down. certainly rather done up for the nature of this town, as far as Draco understands...]—not on me.

Who are you?

[the vendor raises his voice to remind Draco if his owed fee, and he raises a hand dismissively in his direction to listen to this girl's answer.]

[severaty]

Uuuuugh, why is it always when I'm around that things like this happen?

[Again, the put-upon expression, and she presses a hand to her forehead in a show of theatrics. She's not actually that angry though, just irritated- but if she's going to wind up playing good samaritan, she's going to get her money's worth out of it.]

Who am I? I'm the person who's going to save you a night of dishwashing and manual labor, that's who I am.

[A scoff, and she leans back in her chair, bringing up a small plastic card from one of the pouches at her waist and holding it up.]

But if I do, you're going to owe me. Understand?

[substandard]

[Draco doesn't like the sound of that. he eyes the card—mysterious thing, that—and then the girl.]

Supposing I take you up on such a favor, what sort of thing am I going to owe you? Are these stakes going to be fair?

I don't want to owe you my life over a tart. [which he gestures to somewhat incredulously.]
