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.]

Luc | Suikoden | Option 4

[ It was naïve of Luc to think that he would remain immune to illness, and that even if he didn't, a few forced handshakes with people would stave off the effects completely.

Still, it was just a cold, he told himself as he abruptly closed the book he was trying to concentrate on. He just needed something else... Shoving himself out of the chair, he marched back to the library shelves to find something else—

—and instead found himself groaning as he ran headfirst into someone else as he turned the corner. ]

Wawawha--

[Viki hadn't expected to bump into someone just now (who ever expects to bump into people?) and found herself stumbling...forwards, into whoever bumped her. Oops?]

[ Viki. He didn't even get to see her before bumping into her, but her voice alone gave her away.

Luc was lethargic and dizzy, but he was still better off than Viki. He caught her by the shoulders to keep the two of them from falling over and making a bigger scene. ]
waffuport: (What a big nose you have!)

[personal profile] waffuport 2013-05-22 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Saved! Viki attempted to straighten herself up, giving a big smile to her would-be rescuer as she did so.]

Oh, thank you! You're very...oh! Luc, hello! I didn't think I'd run into you here!

[Her smile's even wider now!]
seethrul: (Walk right by your side)

[She's late, she's late, she promised to be here 15 whole minutes ago, and she hopes that the person she's supposed to meet isn't going to be too mad for having to wait too long and-- where are they anyway? She rounds the corner at full speed and--

--there's a muffled ah! as Yunoha's head collides with Luc's teeth.]

[ —Ow. Luc stumbled back from the impact, hand covering his mouth. Well, it didn't seem like any of them are loose, at least... ]

The parks are outside, you know.
amavi: surprised/alarmed (big trouble!)

[personal profile] amavi 2013-05-15 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Floe wasn't really here for the books--they were okay, but there was way too many and she didn't want to actually go through them to look for something more fun. "More fun" usually being people to meet, but everyone here was so insistent about quiet--man, she was so bored!

--And in the middle of groaning, Luc ran into her back, and she whirled around at him to glare.]


Hey! Get your nose out of those stuffy books and watch where you're going!

[Naturally, Floe isn't having any sickness problems. As if she couldn't keep from being in contact with at least someone regularly...]

[ Her yelling just aggravated his headache too. ]

I wasn't reading anything. You were in my way.

[ Not that he bumped into her on purpose, but he's little embarrassed to be in such a state. ]
amavi: annoyed and yelling (are you talking back?!)

[personal profile] amavi 2013-05-22 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
What?!

[Her scowl just widens and she puts her hands on her hips. Rude!!]

What's wrong with you? Just go around!

Whoa! [ Jack immediately braced himself, a hand on either side of Luc's frame as he stumbled from the impact. ]

Are you okay?

[ he asked with concern in his voice as he quickly looked down at the boy -- man? ] You should be careful. There are lots of books here you know. Who can tell what would happen if you fell into a shelf.

[ not to manage the damage to the books. They were a priceless resource you know. ]

[personal profile] destroyingwind 2013-05-24 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

[ He picked Jack's hands off of him dismissively and took a few steps back.

...And just lets his arms fall to the side because he doesn't need to balance against the bookshelves. ]


I'm not going to fall into a shelf, either. If I did, I doubt they would just tumble over.

[ Jack shifted, not minding the brushing off. No, he simply stepped back and easily gave Luc his space. ]

Even if you're fine, you never know how the tiniest touch might set off one of these shelves! They are rather old after all.

[ although he's a little unsure of the whole thing himself as he edged a little further away from a shelf. ] Have you ever seen a collection like this fall?

[ he did once, when he was a child. His mother had not been very kind. ]
