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.]

[Emizel makes just a slight displeased little sound, and crosses his arms. Fine, he'll believe that for now.]

...So they brought us here, but won't even explain why?

[also crosses his arms]

The only thing they've said is because we otherworlders provide energy. We are supposed to power the city because the natives cannot do it themselves. [mumbles something about how they could have at least asked first. rude]

[That was nooot something he wanted to hear. That was a look of disgust, maybe a little bit of fear. How...could they..]

They're... [Emizel frowned even more. He was about to leave England and try to figure out what he going to do now.]

...I really got to get out of here. [Humans were supposed to be their energy source, n-not the other way around!]

[poor kid... it was bad enough to bring adults here to do their dirty work. but children? that was just low]

We're all in the same boat. I've been here for a little over a month now, and have been having an awful time getting along. I did find out a few interesting things, though.

[Not just a kid, but also one that appears to be completely alone, on top of being in a strange new world. All more reason to be pushed on edge.]

This might be a little easier if they didn't take my magic away!

[Then again that's probably exactly why they did it, as far as he's concerned. But it was still a pretty awful thing to do.]

[that... makes him pause. and perhaps England's face brightens ever so slightly]

You can use magic?

Y..yeah..

[What's that look for?]

Splendid! What sorts of spells do you know how to use?

Elemental, mostly..

[This was getting kind of weird. Though he would gladly try to give a demonstration if he actually could.]

[what's weird about it? oh, you mean England's fanboying? yes, probably weird. but he's a lover of magic! his whole island is magic!]

Ah, me too. Though summoning is my forte.

A summoner?

[Well, that might change everything. Well, some things anyway. Emizel moved just a bit closer.]

...You don't really look like one.

Really? Do summoners look different from where you come from?

[Pauses while stares at a little bit more.]

....I guess not.

[Then again.]

--That is, I've heard of humans summoning before.. Just never seen any.

[ah... humans... ha, yes. but oh wait a tick]

...Are you not human?

[Can't really think of anything else you might be.]

No.

[Sharp teeth, red eyes, doesn't ring any bells?]

[well, to be honest, England knows a few people with red eyes. and he wasn't really paying attention to the teeth. but. hm]

O-Oh. Well, I'm sorry if I offended you. Actually, I'm not human either. [WHATEVER YOU ARE ENGLAND RESPECTS YOUR PEOPLE]

Wait a minute, you're not?

[This calls for a little bit more inspection! Maybe Emizel missed something. Ogawd England, try not to get yourself circled by a vicious demon.]

..Then what are ya?

[like he fears a demon! ...well, okay. maybe he fears demons. but he has no idea such a cute little kid is a demon. yet]

I'm a country, or, rather, the embodiment of a country. My name is England. [perhaps you've heard of me]

[He's not cute! He'll mess you up! D|]

H-huh..?

[Now he's really confused.]

How can you embody a country?

[So so curious now]

[England rubs his jaw in thought]

I'm not sure how, exactly. It's just been that way for as long as I can remember. I was born when my people came together, the same way as all countries.

But that's so.. so.. [Can't say wack, shouldn't say wack. Honorable demons shouldn't be saying wack anymore.]

That doesn't make sense!

Perhaps not, but there are a lot of things in the world that don't make sense.[he grins softly] When a people come together and unite, countries are given life. I am over a thousand years old, and my heart beats as long as my citizens believe in me. Obviously, I cannot expect you to believe me. [England doesn't usually go around telling people what he is because of that reason] That is what I am.

[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!~~]

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.

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.]
