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.] |

... I'm not even very good. I just know how not to burn the house down.
[he looks up at him nervously.] ......We still need bananas.
no subject
Will you show me how to pick those as well?
no subject
With... banana bread... [his voice is small and scared, but he's smiling.] It... it doesn't matter as much if the bananas are old because you... cook them.
no subject
[The smile is what's important.]
It seems that bread is more varied than I thought.
no subject
[Shinji had turned away now, struck with a need to keep his embarrassment to himself. He hurries over to the rack filled with bananas, and picks out a large bunch that's still green.]
...I like to buy a lot, and eat them until they start to go bad. Then, you can just freeze them as they're turning brown and use them for bread whenever you decide to make some.
no subject
no subject
[pause.] ...fleshy, maybe? Hm.
no subject
A great deal grows here, doesn't it? Do you like it? [After all, this place is distinctly lacking in 'apocalypse.']
no subject
[he glances over at Kaworu, his eyebrows raised upwards slightly.] Is... Are all of these things gone, now? Back at home.
no subject
Mostly, [he says finally.] Though when someone takes the time to nurture them, things will grow.
no subject
Kaji-san had watermelons. He liked to nuture and take care of them... is he dead, too? Like most everyone else? Or was he out there, somewhere, mad and hating him?
He looks down at the bananas in his hands.]
...this is stupid. I... I shouldn't be here.
no subject
[Kaworu asks this patiently, but he expects an answer. He hopes that in this place - as incongruous with fate as it is - Shinji can find some sort of peace, and bring his own heart to better health. Unfortunately, some of that will mean, on occasion, cleansing the scab so it doesn't fester.]
no subject
[his hands tighten around the bananas as he starts to close himself off.]
I don't deserve any of this. I don't deserve to stand here and talk about these things that don't exist in our world anymore.
[and at the same time, knowing that makes him so furious. He'd just wanted to save Ayanami, right? How could this have happened from just that? It isn't fair. It's ridiculous. There's no way he could have known --]
no subject
[Kaworu empties his hands of all fruit, setting it back with its harvest, and settles his hands into his pockets.]
When you take care of life, you offer recompense for death, Ikari-kun.
no subject
[he slumps, his head hanging. god, what is wrong with him? he can't even go shopping with Nagisa-kun without becoming pathetic halfway through.
without looking up, he holds the bananas up towards Kaworu, wanting desperately to be relieved of them.]
I'm not like you. You're... you know how to just... deal with these things.
no subject
It's because I've had more practice than you. But, you know, Ikari-kun... The reason I like you so much is because you're not like me. Because we're different, I like to see and hear you. Because of who you are, I like to be around you.
These bananas you've picked, why don't we get them?
no subject
He can't deal with everything else Kaworu just said. It makes him feel good, and at the same time how dare he feel good about that? And, how ridiculous, unfair, it is to be in this position...]
.....If you want to get them.
no subject
Do you think the sky will be clear tonight? [His softness toward Shinji is implacable.]
no subject
Shinji stares at it, unsure of what to do. But, finally, he reaches up and takes it.
Maybe he doesn't deserve the things of the past, the things he destroyed, but... Nagisa-kun...]
...it'll be clear. [the warmth of his hand gives him the courage to look Kaworu in the eyes again.] It'll be clear tonight. There won't be any rain until... Wednesday.
no subject
[Repetition is key. Kaworu wants to be the one to offer the sanctity of stars this time around.]
no subject
(But you do think you deserve him, don't you?)
He nods slowly and squeezes Kaworu's hand back.]
... Yeah. Okay... yeah, let's do that. After we cook.
no subject
[There's a moment where his gladness is almost tangible - no, those are just his fingers, cool against Shinji's palm. But then he lets go of Shinji's hand, and the air stops its stalling. Kaworu has turned to the side to admire the grapes.]
