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

[Wherever you were, whatever you were doing, it doesn't matter. All it takes is blinking, or stepping into a dark room before the lights are turned on. Anything to obscure your vision for a moment.

Just a moment, but in that moment, a pull is felt, and suddenly, you are elsewhere. Just where that 'elsewhere' happens to be is something that needs to be figured out.

It appears to be a busy city, though, so it shouldn't be too hard finding anyone at all! Feel free to explore, try to find answers, or just take a moment to catch your breath. Whatever it was that pulled you to this place left you feeling a tad disoriented.]

Option 2

[Though the temperatures have been remarkably warm for the beginning of the season, the humidity has finally given way to a crisp, cool feeling in the air that is far more refreshing to those not used to a tropical or sub-tropical 'fall'. All of the stock is being rotated out of the Mall and Marketplace by the dutiful shop keepers - the bright colors and shorter cuts of summer clothing being replaced by the more muted, richer earth tones and the long sleeves of the proper season. In celebration of the start of the equivalent of 'fall' in the city, all the stores are holding a special - should you wish to purchase any new clothes for the shifting season and arrive at the counter with a friend, you get a discount!

Perhaps you should find someone to purchase your items with...?]

Option 3

[There is practically no warning for the change in the weather. One moment, the air is crisp and cool, and the skies only have a few clouds. The next moment, the skies have darkened and the clouds up above have opened up into a steady, unrelenting rainfall. Luckily, there seem to be a number of small shelters erected at even intervals along the streets.

There seems to be enough room under those shelters for two to three people to stand - perhaps there's even someone standing under one now, waiting for the rain to pass. At least you'll have someone to talk to while you wait out the rain!]

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.]

[She coughed into her hand, bundling herself in her jacket a little tighter. The weather reports had said that it was supposed to be eighty degrees out today, but that was a load of crap. She was freezing.]

[Then again, Sweet Pea thought, maybe this is what they were talking about. Those withdrawal symptoms. She shook her head. No, that didn't make any sense and she wasn't some idiot that would just give it up for anyone, not anymore, not here, not anywhere. She could hug herself if she had to. Maybe even get a puppy. The first man to touch her was going to burn.]

[... So she walked on, trying to figure out which building she lived in again and was it even on this street???]

[It was not unusual to find Soushi strolling around the area of the apartment complex from time to time especially when he was using the route to do some light exercise. He will be jogging the streets wearing a simple white t-shirt and black pants. It was nothing fancy, but it was comfortable enough to run around in.

By the time he finds the other woman roaming the streets, Soushi will have passed her as he jogged not only once, but three or four more times. Was she lost? Did she forget her apartment building or room? Whatever the case may be, he will stop and head her way to assist her as he normally does for anyone else.]

Excuse me. I apologize for my abrupt interruption, but I could not help notice you have been walking in the same street a few times now. [Placing a servitude hand over his chest, he will nod his head.] Do you need help?

[She coughed for a moment before really noticing the guy beside her.]

No, no. I'm fine. I'm just- [She waved him off, stumbling away before stopping herself.] -a little dizzy. I'm fine.

[Soushi will watch as she stumbles, realizing that she must be suffering the first signs of the withdrawal symptoms. At the very least, it seemed as thought she was.]

If you are feeling light-headed, then I would most recommend for you to sit down, take a deep breath, relax, and drink a bit of water.

[Taking notice that she did not see the type to be helped, Soushi will decide to be as tactful as he can in the way he offers his services. A weak smile will appear on his lips.]

There is a bench close by. If you like, may I accompany you there? I need to fix my shoe as I believe there might be a small pebble stuck on the bottom of my feet before I return to my run.

[... Who is this guy?]

I...

I think I will sit for a second.

[It couldn't really hurt, would it? She shouldn't stop, really, or she'll never get back ~~and lose this guy~~, but she was so tired. Just a few minutes.]

[He is ~~your worst nightmare~~ Soushi Miketsukami. There is no other way to describe him as.]

I will accompany you.

[He really will accompany her to the closest bench, but he will keep his distance from her as he can tell she was the type of individual that did not accept help as easily as others. Soushi will do what he can to keep her from realizing his purpose.]

How long have you been feeling ill for?

[Might be a good question as any to ask to figure out if she was a recent arrival to the city.]

[This is one passer-by that tends to be a sucker for people in some sort of trouble. It isn't everyday that you see someone walking around looking like they should really be getting some rest.

So, there's a female drow making her way towards the sick-looking human, her hood getting lowered as she walks in order to possibly facilitate some measure of trust (who trusts someone that won't show their face, after all?).

There's a light undercurrent of concern in her voice, and her expression looks slightly worried.] I beg your pardon, but... you do not look well.

[Sweet Pea sighed and looked away from this new person, continuing her walk. She didn't bother to look them in the face just yet. She was all about ignoring help around her. She could handle things herself.]

I'm- [After a couple of coughs, she continued.] I'm fine.

[If Sweet Pea were looking up, she'd notice the disapproval.

Girl, she's good with detecting bullshit, and trying to tough it out won't help.] With all due respect, you don't appear to be.

[She's not going to enter someone's personal space without an invitation, though - that's just asking for trouble. But she'll tilt her head slightly in an inquisitive manner.] I've been wandering these streets for a few hours now, and feel I have the layout memorized well enough to navigate. If you tell me where you live, I can escort you.

[And you can get to bed and make sure this cold you seem to have won't get any worse.]

I don't need an- [She gasped and jumped back in shock at seeing her face for the first time, bringing on a whole new coughing fit. Sweet Pea wanted to stand her ground, but found it hard to while being this way.]

[If it wanted to hurt her, it would have by now, right? After a few breaths, she looked back up to the woman, stunned into silence for a moment.]

[Ah. That reaction, she was used to. It did not make it hurt any less, but she was used to it.

She adopts a neutral expression, and some of the warmth and concern that had been in her tone previously disappears.] Is the thought of being aided by a drow disconcerting?

[She should've known better, than to let herself get used to the civility and lack of suspicion she had been getting since her own arrival.

She holds her hands up, well away from the longsword sheathed at her hip. ] As hard as it might be to believe, I truly mean you no harm.

[Oh, Sweet Pea noticed the sword and kept her distance, but noticeably calmed. It wasn't like she was in a great position to be on guard, anyway.]

Drow?
