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.]

Comments

you ain't met me but I have an auska so lets thread maybe

[agelostdoll]

[Asuka just crunches on up over the sand. Kind of familiar, ain't it? And you still have that stupid fucking S-DAT why is she not surprised. The bland shirt and the boring hair she'd recognise a mile away and-

Isn't that the DSS choker? Didn't they detonate that? Weird. She keeps on walking until her shadow is casting right over him, blocking out the sun. Surprise, Shinji, you still can't run away from me.]

So you're here too.

[katanas_and_tea]

Takuma couldn't help but let out a laugh at her enthusiasm. It was cute and it sounded like a lot of fun. This reminded him of the things he would used to try roping Kaname into when they were younger and things he roped Shiki into--well--not too long ago.

"Ee-chee-joh", he corrected. "Let's see...If I were an adventurer, I think I'd be a knight! With a gleaming sword and shining armor! What about yourself?"

LET THE CANONS COLLIDE

[agelostdoll]

[So, on a scale of 1-10 how much would you be expecting an apparently fine, hale, healthy and eyepatch'd Asuka to be walking after you]

You do that barefoot you idiot you'll step on broken glass. Trust me, even here.

Re: Zatanna Zatara ⟡ Young Justice ⟡ Option 2

[kid_crash]

[Sorry, Zee, but you'll have to work on your tan another time, as a certain redheaded speedster is creeping up behind you with a bucket full of water.

[...Except Wally and stealth never really go together, so she'll probably be able to hear him coming by the sound of his muffled laughter as he attempts to sneak up on her.]

:p

[bow_of_the_galadhrim]

[Legolas sat upright, treading water rather than letting himself float as he looked the young dwarf over. He was vaguely familiar but he couldn't place a name if he'd ever gotten it.]

And greetings to you, Master Dwarf.

[There's some amount of distrust in his eyes but he makes no effort to move closer or away.]

A swim. The waters are cool and refreshing, much like the Nimrodel.

[eternalstudent]

B-But... but that...

[they're dead? they're... all dead? Even Noritaka?]

That can't be...

[did she... nononono she killed... and Kerry's right here...]

Everyone...

I-I'm sorry...

[drank_the_milk]

[wow rude

But Yuna's not in the business of shooting friendlies, so she does lower the gun. She's keeping a tight grip on it, though.]

What is this place?

[agelostdoll]

No idea; just showed up myself. 'Least it ain't in ruins.

[drank_the_milk]

Yeah, that's one thing it's got going for it. But even nice-looking places can be dangerous.

[agelostdoll]

Well yeah, not like anywhere's safe. Still, this thing [she wafts a little handheld monitor] says the air's clear, so you're not in danger of exposure at least.

[drank_the_milk]

Well, that's good. And I know you just said the air is clear, but humor me for a sec. You haven't by any chance seen guys running around in hazmat suits, have you?

[backwordscompatible]

[Oh.]

[Oh.]

[She hears you all right, Mr. West. And you know darn well there will be blood if even so much as a drop inside that bucket makes it onto her freshly-lotioned skin (there was no guarantee this stuff was waterproof). Something that should have been obvious enough already to him...but just in case, a few feet before he makes it too her, she abruptly turns around and slides her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose.]

Don't even think about it.

Throw that on me, and I throw you.

[agelostdoll]

Not seen anyone.

[drank_the_milk]

Okay. Weird question number two, then: have you seen a big group of snails lining up in a huge spiral pattern?

[She draws the shape in the air with her finger for extra emphasis.]

[agelostdoll]

...



No.

Are you drunk?

[smallspot]

[Diarmuid nods excitedly in agreement, but his excitement fades when the other boy looks out toward the deeper water.]

Do we have to race? I don't know if I am ready to go out there yet. What do I do with my arms? Just kicking isn't enough to swim with, is it?

[drank_the_milk]

Look, I've been to a lot of weird places, okay?

[agelostdoll]

I've been in fucking orbit that doesn't mean I see snails everywhere.

[OF ALL THE PRE-IMPACT SPECIES TO REMEMBER... why snails]

[smallspot]

Everyone has a family!

[Diarmuid puts his hands on his hips again. What is it with this boy denying anything that could be good in his life?]

Natalia cares about you enough to be taking are of you and training you. Why don't you care enough about her to respect her as your family? It is your duty as her student!

[drank_the_milk]

And I've been to Mars, what's your point?

[agelostdoll]

-Seriously?!

[drank_the_milk]

Yeah, it was actually pretty great!

[agelostdoll]

[can't smell alcohol... must be drugs]

Was it red?

[beforetights]

Oh, I haven't shown you that yet. You paddle with your arms like you would with your feet. So you're paddling on both ends and go twice as fast.

[He demonstrates, swimming a half-circle around Diarmuid.]

[kid_crash]

[Man, he can't wait to see Zatanna's reaction when he splashes her! Just a few more steps and...wait! Is she turning around?!

Yep. She turned around.

Crud. He's been busted.]

[He straightens up from his semi-crouched position now that his cover has been blown, and feigns a look of innocence.]

What? You thought I was going to dump this on you?

[He lets out a laugh as if that couldn't be further from the truth.]

No. I just... [His eyes dart from her face to the bucket and back again, before he holds the bucket out in front of him for her to take with the sweetest of smiles on his face.] thought you might want something to drink.

['Cause people drink water out of buckets all the time, right?]
