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.]

[ Sealand doesn't turn around, but looks upward, frowning up at that disatisfied face of England's.]

Try making a wish on the lanterns. [ duh ]

[ He looks back to the water. ]

Um, I'm gonna wish... I'm gonna wish... that jerk England will bow down to a fully recognised Sealand!

[ Except, he probably won't, because them getting home right now is actually more important than being recognised. Well, sort of. He can't be much of a nation while stuck here, after all. ]

[the response makes him twitch slightly]

You do that then! [hmph... now he looks out at the lanterns] Frankly, I think wishing to go home would be a better idea. Even if that wouldn't help us.

Why wouldn't it help? It's a wish lantern! I'll wish for everyone to go home except all the jerks, then~ So, unless you'll recognise me, you have to stay here!

[ he laughs and edges a little further away from England. he's quieter now, whispering so there's less chance of England hearing. ]

Wish fairy lantern, I wish for us all to go back home soon ...England as well, okay? I want to see my family and friends again. [ pause. ] Also, I wish for lots of chocolate, please.

[ Then he let's it go. ]

[England watches the lantern go. for some reason, it feels a little sad to him. then again, lots of things make him sad. he is a depressed and cynical old man. he waits for the other country to finish before speaking again]

Do you think if it were that easy to leave, we'd still be here, Sealand?

[ Sealand watches the lantern as it gets higher. he's not sad as he watches; instead it reminds him of hope, and he smiles before turning back to England. ]

Well, others who wished just haven't been trying hard enough.
