Test Drive Meme!


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.]

Ethan | Pokemon HGSS | Option 2

[After hours of searching this new place around for any familar faces (like Lyra or Silver) or a pokemon center, which both ended in failure, Ethan decides to settle at the beach. It wasn't so bad...It quite reminded him of the shores of Olivine City.

Sitting beside him along the shore is his Typhlosion who is looking awfully tense and intently at the waves along the shore, ready to grab his master and make them back up farther if the waves hit the shore any closer to them.
Someone should splash the fire pokemon and see what happens! ]

[Did someone say splash?

Because this is what this jerk is about to do in 3...2...1...

No, he's not sorry. He might look a bit older than you recall though, Ethan.] Tch. Moron.
goldenaura: (:/)

WOW. RUDE. (....h-hi. <3)

[The fire pokemon lets out a hiss and flailed frantically as he tried to shake the water off himself, as he did this, he knocks his master into the water, who fell with a 'splash'. While his pokemon was running farther away from the area, a wet Ethan was left sputtering on water before he looked up through his soaked bangs and hat at who did this. His expression is a mix of surprised (his friend-rival is here, after all!) and being unamused.]

...What the hell, Silver?! Is this how you always say hello to your friends?
brbstealingpknm: (I'll all go down in flames)

>3 At least it's not BATTLE! ( :3c this douche spent two years in vatheon so he's about 17/18 btw)

[personal profile] brbstealingpknm 2013-05-15 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[And Silver is just going to laugh. Loudly. In the most obnoxious why he can.

Just because. The fact that he *might* have missed Ethan doesn't factor into this. Nope, not at all.] Hmph. So you can swear now?

Step up on the moron ladder, I guess. [Hey guess what Ethan? There is a lot less bite to his words.

He's still not going to help you up though.]

Oh man, the cuteness continues! Another boy with another strange but adorable creature. Shura just has to talk to this boy, now.

"Sorry, but, is it yours?" she asked, pointing at the Typhlosion.
goldenaura: (Wanna battle?)

Ethan was beginning to close his eyes and almost finally doze off as he settled with laying beside his now-sunbathing Typlosion beside him. But his eyes were quick to snap open when he heard a voice. Of course Ethan had enough manners to acknowledge the newcomer and not ignore her. His mother taught him better, growing up, after all.

He puts on his usual easy-going smile as he answers her question.

"Yup. He is! You know about Pokemon, I take it?"

A shame that the boy might be sadly mistaken... But after finding no other pokemon trainers, here, at all, so far, he still wanted to be hopeful.

She has to shake her head, sadly. "I've heard the name for the first time today, actually. But I like cute creatures, and your Pokemon is really cute! Does he have a name?"
luckyegging: (Llllladies!)

[Well, Gold would splash, but he's much too busy being in awe of the evolved Pokemon in front of him. He's about to say something to the trainer when he's stopped dead in his tracks.

Hm. Something's not right here. Thinking. Thinking.]


... woah! You've got excellent clothing taste, bro!
