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.]

Yeah. It's in my nature. Even more so because everyone else in my family's an arsehole. There's not enough good in the world, kid. Gotta add to it, at least a little.

He streeetched and shook himself. Most stage magic is a kind of performance, like dancing or acting. It's a skill. Some people, like me, well, we mix the skill with the real stuff. But in some ways mundane performers are more impressive, since they don't have the extra boost.

"You too? Your family, I mean?" He questions, briefly letting a hopeful smile over his lips. "My dad's worse than an asshole in any case."

Now this, he says with a bit of an icy tone, his fangs showing from under his lips. He calms himself and watches the tiger rest in the late fall sun.

"That sounds cool. I was told once I have an affinity towards magic but I don't know how to do anything."

Well, I was being nice. Truth is, mine's a monster too. I'm sorry you're dealing with that shite as well. I've at least had a decent amount of decades to recover from it. He rolls over and looks at Shadow upside down, paws in the air, entirely no fucks given about how silly he looks.

Yeah? Good thing to have. I wonder if there are any sorts around who can help you develop it? I'm all mental stuff really. The nightmares, learning to remember things better, lucid dreaming, that I can do. Also seeing through illusions. But other kinds of magic, not so much.

"Is he a real monster, or a metaphorical one?" Because there was a profound difference between the two, and he's been witness to both types in his lifetimes. Oh the people who visited Pocket D!

With Daimon exhibiting more friendly, and even submissive behavior, he inches a bit closer, closer. He was a few inches away now, looking at the tiger before poking him with a paw. Testing the waters here.

"Maybe. It's not really that important, is it? Knowing magic? I already have powers so it's kinda all extra stuff."

**He's both. He's both really nonhuman in that way that endangers humans, and a heartless sadist. Really nasty guy. Pretty much my example of what not to be like. Which in the end is all that some people are, even if they're relatives. I bloody hate bullies. Fortunately there are relatively few of those types around.**

He chuffs and pokes back with his paw in a relaxed manner. **'sall right. I don't bite. Actually ever. Best part of this form is that I can act like a complete muppet and still look manly.

**Well, the more you know about magic the more control you have over it. But I don't know how into study you are. It takes a lot.**

He rumbles, almost growls at the description, refusing to comment further on his own family troubles. All he knew is that he shared the sentiment. He flicks his tail a few times and then relaxes, laying onto his side.

He makes a chuffing noise in return, every gesture making him more and more comfortable.

"Why not? All cats bite. Gotta eat, don't you?" He wonders aloud, his jaw moving along lazily with the words, thus muffling his sound.

"I've thought about it. There's a magic store in Steel Canyon I always liked, but now I'm stuck here so I can't even really explore any of it."

**Actually I'm a strict vegetarian. Means I don't usually even eat in this form. I'd call it a lifestyle choice but it's more like a food allergy.** He squints in amusement, and conjures a small, floating ball of red light to tease at Shadow's nose.

He yawns enormously and pauses to gaze winsomely at a couple of young ladies who have stopped to stare. **Hi!**

A glance back at the young lion. **I'll help you explore if it'll make you more comfortable. I have to do it anyway.**

"You're allergic to meat?? Wouldn't you star--" its as if Daimon timed it so he wouldn't finish that question, as he recoils and tries to catch the red dot, not realizing what is happening until three swipes of his paw.

"Huurr." He rumbles, gets him everytime, then his gaze fell to the woman, and he flicked his tail at them.

"Could you even teach me? We're from different worlds aren't we? Different magics, different world."

Daimon looks as mock-innocent as a tiger possibly can, tail flipping mischievously. "I end up eating a lot of tofu and dairy." The ball circles around Shadow's head, lands on his nose and vanishes.

"Well, I could try. I know at least some mental disciplines are just a matter of practice. Like getting a better memory, for example. If all else fails you'll get some better meditation and study skills out of it."

The mention of Tofu just makes him wrinkle his nose. Oooh that just sounded sort of awful. But nevertheless it was better than eating salads, and dairy? He appreciated his cheeses. His attention is drawn back to the little red ball and he bats again at it, flopping on his side in an effort to get it before it disappears.

He laughs under his breath.

"Meditation seems like it would take a long time. I think I'd just fall asleep."

**If you fall asleep it means you needed the nap and shouldn't worry about it.** Daimon yawwwwwns hugely and flops over on his side. **Humans don't fully understand the value of a good catnap. Never make that mistake.**

He chuffs and lets out a tigermoan that has a chuckle in it. **Oh yeah, and I get it. If I invite you over for a meal it'll be dessert.**

"I can appreciate that way of thinking." He then turned his head sharply at the second remark, canting his head in a way which indicated his confusion. Hmmmm?

"What do you mean? What's desert?"

**Wait, wait, you don't know what dessert is? You've never had ice cream or turnovers? No mango laaasi or caramel? That's a bloody crime. We should fix that.**

"No! I mean, what do you mean, what kind of dessert? I thought you meant something specific."
