Test Drive Meme!

[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 in a week when they open. Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it: Option 1 [While the days grow longer and warmer and the older, oriental-style of the city would normally make one think that the interiors would not be much in the way of relief from the hot sun, it may surprise the guest to see that the apartments the natives have allocated for them are surprisingly comfortable. In fact, the only modern convenience they may be missing is a television set! At least, outside the media floor on the first floor of Building One - the first of four inter-connected buildings. In fact, each apartment building seems to have at least one different amenity on the first floor. In Building Two they seemed to even spare a library in another that seems to have the basics and some information packets that are otherwise found in the Welcome Center in District 2. There are even a few restaurants and common dining areas in the Building Three that are open until late at night, and meeting areas and a ballroom on the first floor in Building Four, perfect for setting up small parties or big events. With the locals gone save those who work in the restaurants and the one librarian, leaving you to your own devices, what will you do? What mysteries could be left to discover in this place?] Option 2 [With summer coming, the water level in the river is starting to go down, exposing some of the beach. The Riverside Shack is open late, and its restaurant is pulling out all the stops and offering seafood specials (even though a river is a far cry from an ocean). The rental store, meanwhile, is finally bringing out more of its swimming supplies, inner tubes and pool noodles, and a calmer stretch of the river has been roped off with buoys for swimming. They even have lifeguards chairs set up. Clearly this sort of thing used to be an annual event. It's not quite an ocean beach (quite different actually), but there's still plenty of chance to have fun in the water. Or teach someone to swim, perhaps.] Option 3 [If you're more inclined to explore or learn, the City's Learning Center might be more to your tastes. There certainly seems to be a lot going on here - there's laboratories and libraries and workshops, and plenty of communal areas where you can meet and talk with people. The natives seem pretty absorbed with their studies and work, though they're polite in brushing you off, at least. Perhaps you'll have more luck seeing what other Guests such as yourself have discovered?] 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.]

[trends]

[It seems all the boys she meets are as stubborn as hell. She crouches down to his level, tilting her head to the side.]

I think you'll feel better if you were sitting somewhere that's more comfortable.

And it's no bother at all. Really.

[sleepingstar]

[Lan Fan may sense Pai's approach; then again, she may not. The young girl is very quiet and light on her feet -- you have to be if you're going to live as a child soldier instead of dying as one. In front of the learning center strikes her as a very strange place for a person to be kneeling; curious, she kneels in front of Lan Fan and peers at her mask.]

Hello.

Big Brother (◡‿◡ )

[goldenflint]

[Glances at his hand and then at his face, giving him a tiny nod before she attempts to stand up a little straighter. She takes his hand, the contact suddenly giving her what felt like a jolt of energy passing through her. It lessened the nausea at least.]

Thank you. If... it won't be a bother. My balance isn't what it used to be, I'm afraid. I might slow you down.

[ooh mister knight ooh... whoops wrong 15 year old girl XD]

Cayce Pollard | William Gibson - Bigend Trilogy | Option 3.5

[caycep]

[Cayce has been wandering around the Learning Center, listening in quietly at various lectures and meetings, getting her feet under her. Now she's found a library, and is wandering the stacks.

Trouble is, she's been keeping to herself, and hasn't come anywhere near fulfilling her contact quota. She's been feeling mildly out of sorts, but suddenly, she's overcome by a wave of nausea and dizziness and staggers against the shelves, knocking a few books to the floor.]

Minako Aino | Sailor Moon | Option 2

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

[Minako had rather liked the sound of the beach, choosing her best swimsuit for the occasion. But when she arrived, her excitement for swimming in a beautiful ocean was rather short lived. Instead she saw a rive and her once happy face had dropped, clearly showing her disappointment.]

I was really looking forward to sunbathing on the beach, checking out some cute guys in their swimming trunks and just having a great time. [She sighs, heavy hearted that what she thought and what it really was were vastly different. A river really wasn't an ocean and this really wasn't a beach, but she knew full well that she already had her swimsuit on and she was going to go swimming.]

Alright! So, it's not like what I imagined, but it doesn't mean I still can't have fun. [With a firm nod, she smiled once more to start running towards the river, planning to jump in the first moment she can.]

>:3

[callmewhateveryuwant]

[The idea of traveling to a different world didn't surprise him so much but it would've been nice if he wasn't brought alone. Nonetheless, Yu was going to make the best of his time in the city and he decided that the first place he'd stop at was the library. It may not be much but it's a start.

That's when he noticed her.]

Is there something you're looking for?

I AM CRAI

[uruseihime]

[No way.

No way, no way, no way!!!

EVEN MORE PISSED NOW.

Except...maybe a little happy? CAN'T DECIDE ANGRY IS EASIER.]

Souji!!!

[Oops that was a little loud. She quickly lowers her voice to a hiss and stalks up to him, getting all up in her personal space.]

How long have you been here? Were you planning on telling me?!

haha

[callmewhateveryuwant]

[Whoa! Slow down there before something happens and both of them will regret it! And who is Souji?! He doesn't remember having a long lost twin or anything and oh boy she sounds pissed. The important thing to do is keep a calm head. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding.]

I'm sorry but that's not my name. Have we met somewhere before?

[It can't be a social link thing because he would've felt that already.]

Yuna Akashi | Negima (Mayfield & Haven Transplant) - Option 5

[drank_the_milk]

[Yuna has just arrived in the third new place that isn't Mahora Academy, and given how the previous two went, she's immediately on her guard. She's got her artifact gun out and is transformed into her gunner costume, ready to face down whatever new threats she might have to face in this town.]

Geez... where the heck am I now?

[Her posture is very tense, irritation and slight trepidation written plain as day across her face. She's probably going to have a pretty hard time trusting this place for a while. Mayfield seemed nice at first too, and then people started dying, so Yuna isn't in the business of trusting appearances anymore. Maybe someone should come and explain.]

Fulcrum | Transformers IDW: More Than Meets The Eye ( Option 5)

[coward_techie]

[The thing about the only robot - not so giant any more given he's shrunk to at least 9 feet - that he knows of around?

Means he stands out.

It also means that all of the organic things around him are side eyed so hard because his most recent experiences with anything organic have been on the creepy side of weirdsville. That quickly turned into Horrorville but he'd rather not think about that and jinx himself k?

He might be dead - and if so this is a *very weird* afterlife type thing because really. Organics? Errgg.- but he is curious, if not overly cautious given where he just came from. SO! Exploring the city and all it has to offer seems like a good idea.

Really he;s doing this so he knows all the places he can run to because he likes living. A lot.

In the meantime, someone come help him figure out you organics?]

[kimlascanpride]

[...before everything that happened, Natalia would've seriously considered it a very distasteful prank. However, things did change and he does sound sincere. Besides, Luke is kind of terrible when it comes to pranks anyway. But that only puts up her guard; who knows who this man is?]

If you're not Luke then who are you?

[Another replica by chance? But was that even possible?!]

(◡‿◡ )

[darkshield]

[Riku smiled faintly at that, even if very unsure and awkward. He was very much out of practice, but that touch-- did he just brush against a touch-activated energy source?

'So... That's what they mean.'

Whatever the case, she doesn't look as green.]

I don't mind.

[After all, he was just exploring... and now that he thought about it, something seemed odd about this girl.]

BFFL :'D :'D

[flamesfanned]

[Well, what did you expect, Sync, really. You should know by now how excited Ember gets over things that seem silly to people who are actually the age they look. Or stubborn green-haired two year olds.]

It's not my fault I've never gotten to go swimming before.

[He knows Sync hasn't, either, but dragging the boy into the water can wait for another time. For right now, Ember wades his way out of the water with a grumble, dropping down next to Sync and peeling off his shoes and socks, even if it's a little late for that.]

[flamesfanned]

[Definitely not a prank - the kicked-puppy look on Ember's face can't be anything but sincere.]

It's Ember. You really don't remember me?

Stephanie Brown | DC Comics

[ichoosefight]

[ Option 2 ]

[ She hadn't quite given up on going home yet, but the beach was far too tempting for Steph to pass up. And what was the harm, really? They weren't exactly miserable here. She found a swimsuit she liked - eggplant, of course - and headed down to the water. Hell yes. ]

CANON BALL!

[ Option 5 ]

[ Also open for other ideas whatever man I do what I want ]

[rabbitheartedfox]

[The fox still looks confused, even if she does seem less nervous.]

Can't you talk?

[The more Mani studies the strange creature the more it reminds her of a baby morph, even if it's unlike any morph she's seen before.]

Are you a baby?

[The fox starts to look around worriedly, if this was a baby the mother would be around here somewhere right?.]

[flamesfanned]

What?

[In his eagerness to help, he really had forgotten the bag entirely.]

Don't be stupid, you're still sick!

[Basically as soon as Richard has his hands on the bag, Ember is trying to take it from him. What a good team.]

[ichoosefight]

[ Great, now she's getting the evil eye from a giant robot. And she thought her life back home was weird. ]

Take a picture, it'll last longer.

I LOVE DGM SO MUCH AAAAH beyond pleased, Mirandas are so rare too

[flamesfanned]

[Well at least she's not talking to the plant anymore. Ember will pretend that never happened.]

Ember the Blazing, former Oracle Knights Special Operations - and I don't really know. I guess I've only been here the same time you have.

[She probably doesn't know the relevance of his titles anyway. Oh well.]

[ichoosefight]

[ Steph is just heading home when she passes the pair. And, well, Tohru is loud. She chuckles. ]

Welcome to the good life. Makes the whole kidnapping thing seem less awful, doesn't it? [ Yeah she's not used to nice things either. ]

[ichoosefight]

If this is a drug-induced hallucination I'll be so impressed. [ Hello, blonde teen standing to you, nbd. ]

I don't even have dreams this detailed.

[coward_techie]

I have enough memory files on organics. [The evil eye is going to turn into a curious look.] Since when do organics speak neocybex?

[ichoosefight]

[ Uuuuuh play it cool Steph ]

Gesundheit?

[ The coolest. ]

Death the Kid | Soul Eater | Option 2

[ocd_reaper]

Kid had grown up in the middle of a desert in Nevada. He knew how to swim, of course, but heat didn't bother him much as a general rule. It wasn't like he needed to jump into a pool or whatever to cool off. Nor did he get sunburned despite his pale skin. Being a reaper rocked.

So he was sitting on the "beach" with a book, reading.

Sissel | Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective

[themystery]

[ There is a cat. It doesn't matter where you are, it seems the small black kitten with the red bandana has wriggled his way in and is now looking at you with pleading eyes. Or maybe he's laughing at you, it's hard to tell with a cat.

If you don't make the first move to greet him, the kitten is ready to approach and rub himself all over your legs or jump into your lap or anything else until you pet him. It seems he is very physically-affectionate, which is just perfect for you!

Though, there is something odd about this little tiny cat and how perceptive it seems. If you've died before in some previous life... you may start hearing a voice in your head. Let the mun know! ]
