Test Drive Meme - November Edition

[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

[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.]

[rain made England homesick. he'd stood under the onslaught of water, staring up at it for a long time before realizing that maybe he should... you know... seek shelter. he was already weak enough in this world as it was.

so England was waiting, eyes closing a bit as he listened to the rhythm. that was when he heard footsteps. muddy boots. ugh, no. he wanted to be left alone.

England opens his eyes to see who's here now.........]

working on icons for this

[wurstisyettocome]

[with the water no longer falling on him, he stops humming to take in his new shelter.

...

And the England that is already there. He smirks]

Kesesese~ I take this rain shelter in the name of New Prussia.

[never let on to the wishful thinking of the past, always look to the future]

omg you made it

[unionjackoff]

[England's cheek twitches. great, it's Prussia. about time they ran into each other here]

You're still going on about that?

said i was going to

[wurstisyettocome]

[he throws an arm around England's shoulders, all casual like. Prussia had no problem with the touching thing. He loved to touch people]

Persistence is the key! [so yeah, he was still on that]

[unionjackoff]

[England feels a small surge of warmth and power emanating from the touch. it makes him feel stronger, so he doesn't pull away]

You're wet. [like he isn't]

[wurstisyettocome]

Never used to bother you! [he shakes a little spinning some water off of his shirt and hair]

[unionjackoff]

[hmph! Prussia's shaking off like he's a dog, or something. that does make England pull away, as though he were greatly offended!]

So, judging by your energy, you must be doing well here.

[wurstisyettocome]

Of course I'm doing well here! It's just like home but without any stuck up, cute West!

[unionjackoff]

...How is it just like home? We were kidnapped and are being forced to stay here against our will! [and we have to MAKE MONEY to buy good tea!]

[wurstisyettocome]

['3']

... How is that NOT like home? [there's that nostalgic feeling creeping in again]

[unionjackoff]

........... [he blinks, unsure for a moment, and then something clicks. oh. okay then]

...N-Never mind...

[wurstisyettocome]

[he tilts his head, confusion evident]

....

2/2

[wurstisyettocome]

[oh well, not important. He goes back to his usual grinning self and wraps England in a bear hug]

Kesesesese~ You need to lighten up! Don't be all serious!

[unionjackoff]

[who was the one who said something so serious? England was keeping the tone light! he sighs, shivering lightly from the combination of the wet clothes and the warm feeling from the hug. yes, hugs! he needs them! if he just regains a little bit of strength, then he won't have to stay in the embrace much longer. ...no matter how nice it is]

I don't understand how you can be so happy here.

[wurstisyettocome]

[well you don't have to worry about Prussia not hugging]

Everyone is friendly! Worrying does no good!

[unionjackoff]

... [takes a step back, reaches up, pinches Prussia's cheek and tugs roughly]

You're too carefree! The people here are mad!

[wurstisyettocome]

[he reaches up and rubs his sore cheek, and now there's that pout of his]

I'm not carefree! I'm fitting in!

[unionjackoff]

Well, stop fitting in! [because if you fit in, you'll want to stay! England knows they can't get too comfortable here! they have a job to do.

and no he's not jealous that Prussia and America can fit into this world so easily and make friends and touch others so freely grr]

[wurstisyettocome]

Britannien... [he puts a hand on England's shoulder and rubs gently]

You haven't been allowing people to touch you, have you? [read the situation]

1/2

[unionjackoff]

[GEH]

2/2

[unionjackoff]

[backs up all the way to the other side of the shelter]

TH-THAT'S...! I DON'T...!

[touching people is hard!]

[wurstisyettocome]

Kesesesese~ [is that Prussia's rape face showing?

He stalks towards England]

Come here so I can pet you!

[unionjackoff]

[if Prussia comes closer, England will kick him in the face. it was easy to touch him when Prussia wasn't calling attention to it]

[wurstisyettocome]

[he's going to keep coming, because he's a good friend! He will hug England and get praised for doing so!]

[unionjackoff]
