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.]

Option 1:

Annie clutched her head, blinking profusely. She'd... she'd been running away. From her father. From Clayface. From herself? She still didn't understand, not really. -But Robin had needed her help. He couldn't take Clayface by himself - he was too strong. And... she was the one he wanted.

She remembered tackling him. She remembered his body giving way beneath her, his clay trying to grip at her, tug her into its mass. His mind crushing down all around her...

And then nothing. She'd somehow ended up here. Wherever here was... inside of Clayface's mind, maybe? In a dream?

The question came back to her again: Was she even real? Or just a fragment of her father's mind? She wasn't even supposed to exist... She wasn't even real.

Option 3:

Rain.

She was running from it, her cloak held over her head, trying to keep it from splashing down on her. She knew that it probably couldn't hurt her - not something light like this - but she ran anyway...

Water had always been one of Clayface's greatest weaknesses. He couldn't really hold a shape in it,as a rule. She was just a fragment of clayface - able to hold her form continuously, without apparent effort - yet she worried that the same thing would happen to her if she got drenched.

What if she turned into nothing but a pile of goop? What if she couldn't reform herself - or if she lost her personality, with her form? She knew it was ridiculous, but she ran anyway. She ran and she ran and she ran.

Until she saw cover. With a sob of relief, she darted under it.

Rain is an odd concept for M'gann...Though not a threatening one; just something that didn't really happen on Mars, compared to on Earth. It's still an interesting sensation, to walk through it and feel it patter on her head and smell it in the air. And even though she's moving towards a little cover in order to dry out, she's not being QUICK about it.

Or all that observant on what's going on at a ground level, her attention all on the sky and the water falling from it. If she steps into someone's path as they're rushing for shelter, she certainly doesn't notice it.

No more than the panicked Annie notices her own sudden obstacle. If not stopped, she'll slam into M'gann - screaming out in surprise...

And M'gann might notice, in that case, that something is different about the impact. It's softer than it should be, more malleable - as if she bends around the impact.

The first thing she notices is that loud noise, followed by something smacking into her...And, that is sort of a smack, not really an impact. She has to wonder about that for a second.

But just a second, because the small-ish person that just ran into her is a lot more pressing.

"Oh! Sorry," and she'll extend a hand as well, see if she needs help. And feeling more than a little foolish for keeping her eyes on the storm instead of people that might be running around. "I should've been paying better attention. Are you okay?"

...And...M'gann can't help it. This is a very small Earth child from the looks of it. Smaller than Robin, possibly. It's hard not to be endeared, instantly.

She backs away, though, worried and scared. Her eyes are on the clouds, and her worry over dissolving. Besides, she doesn't know what to make of strangers still. Strange green people who are suddenly asking her things. It's her first time talking to someone who isn't Robin, and it's...

She needs to get under cover before something bad happens.
