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.]

Option 1

Pure blood food. Sonmi-451 looked over the different colors and textures, noting the varying smells and being very very curious of what it all tasted like...

She looked around, though. Hae-Joo wasn't here in this... place... She wasn't really sure what had happened, actually. Most importantly, she didn't feel safe anymore. The people didn't seem to know (or care about) what she was, yet the fear of persecution couldn't bring her to try the food...

Option 2

Sonmi sat on the edge of the river back, watching the final rays of the sun set along the water. This was a rare view and it was real. She could smell the water, feel the sand.

She watched the view in silence, feeling as if she may never leave the area.

[Julie was seated near the riverbank, back against a tree and her knees drawn up to her chin. Her arms were wrapped around her shins as she watched the lanterns. Nothing was this beautiful back home. It was so surreal to watch and she was content to do just that with a soft smile on her face.]

#2:
[She doesn't care about wishes. In fact, the thought makes her uncomfortable. Wishes don't come true. She stays well away from the revelers and their lanterns.

She sits at the water's edge, by herself. She doesn't feel particularly social at the moment. The little lights floating on the surface of the river are beautiful, she supposes, but she's more concerned with the water itself. Without so much as moving a hand, she concentrates on it, making it rise into the air, then swirling in loops, then firming into elaborate, geometrical patterns. She smiles, for once. It's faint, but undeniable.]

#4:
[Kendra looks tired, as if she hasn't slept in a week. That impression isn't helped by the scowl she's currently wearing as she reprimands the huge construct of mercury that seems to have gone haywire: a giant silver blob that keeps changing shape--from round to angular to zig-zag, rising and falling, splintering and reforming. It jerks and sways across the roadway, seemingly oblivious to Kendra's commands.]

Stop it at once! Behave yourself.

[She speaks to it as one might to a disobedient child, or dog.]

#5:
[When out exploring, Kendra carries herself with dignity and decorum, her hair perfectly coiffed, her dress immaculate. Her behavior and bearing are faultless--however, she can't help but draw near to the closed-off areas of the city, frowning as she does so, her steps slowing. She can't deny that she's curious.]

[ Jack hopes he isn't disturbing Julie as he stumbles through the bushes behind her, muttering to himself and squinting. ]

I thought it was...

[ there's another moment of silence and a loud crack before there's a yelp and a thud. It looks like someone cracked there head on a low hanging branch. ]

Option 2

[Nanako was one of the many people who have gathered near the river bank. The little girl's eyes grow wide as she watched the lanterns float up to the sky, laughing and marveling at how beautiful everything was. She had her own lantern, holding it tight around her arms as she waited for the right time to release hers into the sky. It may have been a rumor, wishing on the lanterns, but Nanako believed it with all of of her heart.

She wanted to wish that her father will be all right back home in Inaba.]

[Julie startles some, turning towards the sound with some concern. She doesn't see Jack yet so...]

Who's there? Are you okay?

[And, being a product of the zombie apocalypse, she's a bit on edge but she'll calm once she sees who it is.]

[She's... having fun. That's good. He's glad for her. That's what you're supposed to feel for people who are happy, right? Particularly if you like the....

He should leave.

He turns to leave.

He slips and falls and tumbles down the riverbank instead.]

[LOUD NOISE WHAT. Julie startles as people should do when something crashes nearby and she turns to look, seriously ready to run if it's bad.

But it's not. It's R, the most important person to her here so she's immediately on her feet and heading over to help him up.]

Jesus, R. Are you okay?

[No shrugging. Does she have to say no shrugging?]

[...This was getting ridiculous. If nobody was going to going to send him off this strange world, he will just have to do something himself. Although how exactly he was going to do that, maybe needs to worked on a bit, still.]

[Well, there was those walls. Breaking them down probably won't do anything though, even if he could. No, he had to do something more than just that.]

[W-wait, he's got it now! If the natives knew they were keeping a dangerous demon captive here they will have to let him go! ~~Although he could still just show his point by hurting a wall.~~ Scaring humans was one of the duties of a demon anyway so wouldn't be that unusual of him.]

[Now all Emizel had to do was make a scene on a street. But just as he tried to call up some fire..something strange happened. Actually, nothing happened.]

....What? [He looked confused, unamused, and tried it again. Still nothing.] What gives?!

[It was like all his magic was sucked out. Though he felt fine. They must have done something to him, didn't they?]

[ there's always something getting in the way of introductions. It's a shame his lady friend with the fetish for skulls isn't here. Instead, Jack just gave a muffled groan as he rubbed at his forehead, picking his way out of a bush. ]

Yes, I'm fine.

[ he paused, finding a random twig in his hair and staring bemusedly at it for a second before tossing it away. ]

My apologies. I was just looking for something I seem to have lost. [ he tried to smile, creeping more fully out of the dark shadows of the underbrush. ] I wasn't disturbing you at all, was I?

No. Not at all. [She visibly relaxes, happy that it wasn't as bad as she thought. Watching him rub his head, though, she's still concerned, though now it's for whoever this is.]

Do you want me to get you some ice for your head?

[After setting his candle afloat and waving good by to Wing, Diarmuid has taken some time to walk along the river. Though he keeps a long way away from the actual water, remembering his father's warnings about how dangerous it can be, it's obvious he likes looking at it.

Of course, he's never seen it do that before.

The boy runs up to the blonde woman sitting along the bank of the river and looks at her with wide excited eyes.]

Did you see that? What do you think caused it? It had to be a fairy, right?

[He doesn't seem to realize that she, not a fairy, is the cause of the dancing water he saw just moments before.]

[Water is never dangerous to Kendra, but she does have the power to control it utterly, which helps.

She turns at the sound of someone running toward her--starting (she's more nervous than she used to be)--but it's only a child, so she relaxes. She doesn't have much experience with children. She was supposed to have one of her own years ago, but things had not worked out as expected. Hopefully she'll have the necessary heir soon.

She might not have experience, but she should be good with children. Why wouldn't she be?]

Yes, I saw. I know very well what caused it. It wasn't a fairy at all. It was my doing.

[And to illustrate, she causes the water to rise up again, looping elegantly around her head, without a drop touching her, before it returns to the river.]

[And from close by, her big brother will watching the scene. He remembered when he released his candle not too long ago wishing everyone back home would be alright. He walks up to her and kneels down beside her.]

Did you make your wish?

Mhmm... [Her gaze shifts to her big brother, shaking her head.] Not yet. Can we... let the lantern float together, Big Bro?

[He shrugs.

So. Yes. She totally should have said no shrugging. He sort of has a limited vocabulary, if she didn't notice.

But maybe he should say something to make hr feel better?]

Still... dead. Remember?

Yeah, I remember.

[She noticed the vocab issues and was hoping he'd work on it. But this is fine, too. She smiles at him, shaking her head a bit before holding her hand out.]

You could have joined me by the tree, R. I wouldn't have minded.

[She trusts him. Mostly.]

[Diarmuid watches the water, eyes somehow finding a way to get even wider as she so easily commands it to circle her head before returning to the river. He's never seen someone do something like that before.]

You didn't get wet at all!

[He claps his hands happily.]

Are you a goddes, Lady? Is that how you controlled the water?

You were... having.... Fun. [He didn't want to bother you, Julie. Doesn't he get points for that? He bets a live guy with a crush wouldn't be this nice.]

[He does. He's an intelligent zombie, she will give him that much.

But...she wants him around. He's important to her. So she'll persist.]

I was. It's pretty. There's nothing like it back home. But I don't have a single problem with you joining me.

[C'mon, R. How can you resist that? Or the half-smile on her face when she says it.]

He's only been around a month or two (and he'd really ought to keep better track), but even so Zack can't count on both hands anymore the number of people he's run across who don't look like they belong. Or, rather, who look like they know they don't belong. The avid (or blank) stares, the cautious glances around - little red flags that most of them don't seem to realize they're planting, harmless signifiers of the confused or overwhelmed. It's totally understandable. Maybe especially, in this crowd.

"Hey, are you all right? You look a little lost." For him, this counts as friendly preamble, accompanied by an artlessly sympathetic expression that comes as naturally as the need to lend a hand.

"...Or hungry. Is it hungry?" In which case, he really can't blame her, either.

Of course I didn't.

[She sniffs.]

I'm not a goddess, I'm a magus.

[But Kendra smiles at this nonetheless. She certainly doesn't mind impressing people, or an admiring audience. See, children aren't so difficult after all. Clearly she's a natural at this.]

That means, a very powerful magic user.

[Which she isn't supposed to talk about, technically, but it hardly matters here. There seem to be a number of different kinds of magic users, from different worlds.]

[Oh. She must've thought it would be better if they both would do it.]

Yeah, we can. [With one hand on the lantern, he looks to her.] Ready?

Excuse me, miss. Is that yours? [ Nanoha approached cautiously, but her body language was relaxed. Casual, even. It looks as if she had interrupted her own jogging to come over to the pair having their disagreement in the street.

The... being did not seem to be hostile for the moment, just existing as an unpredictable element, and the other woman seemed to be in no danger.

That did not mean that her own magical companion was not at the ready to take action in a split-second's notice. No, Nanoha was ready to act without drawing attention to that fact first. She'll see how the creature and the woman both behave and only act if she sees that it was necessary. ]

[Yes. Yes, she did. :3 Her face brightens, happy that Yu would oblige her request.]

Yay! [She nods, getting ready to let go of the lantern.]

One...!
