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.]

If they did, they were smart enough to do it while I couldn't hear them.

[He looks young, so when it was between this and "violently lash out," being angrily dismissive won.]

Feisty.

[Appearances can be deceiving. But, of course, someone such as yourself should know that all too well.]

Just try not to get any of...you...on me. This suit's dry-clean only.

[More glaring. Like she's trying to see if heat vision is a latent superpower so she can incinerate the little troll. Fortunately it's not, and Klarion gets to continue living with a face.]

Shouldn't you be in school, or something? At the very least this place should still have day care.

[Definite emphasis on the "or something" part. Mostly because her own experience with raising children pretty much ended with her abandoning her newborn daughter to the care of strangers, so it's pretty much uncharted territory.]

[Normally, he would pout and spout out some tantrum-inducing cry about how he wasn't a baby. But she was just as irritated as he, and he found a sort of twisted comfort at the thought.]

Dropped out of school a few hundred years ago. Give or take. But, really, who's counting?

[He leaned forward, grinning]

Then again, maybe I should be asking the same of you
inqueblots: (WTFU)

I need more of her angry faces :|a

Go play make believe somewhere else, I'm not in the mood.

[Yeah, she's not buying it, witch boy.]

Something's wrong here, and I need to figure out what, not babysit some brat!

[Considering the last time this happened, she'd been shot with a piece of tech she distinctly remembers not having been hit with again]

I'm not the one playing pretend, Leaky. What you see is what you get.

Which is more than I can say for you, I'm guessing...

[He eyes her once up and down. Not in a lecherous way, but in a knowing way. The evidence was strong enough that even he could pick up on the fact that there was more to her than face-value.]

Of course something's wrong. Think if you pick enough fights, you'll get some answers? Because that's always been my favorite method.
