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.] |

he iiiiiis. and I bet he loves hugs :D
[Pippin points back the way he'd come, deeper into the city.]
I can show you if y'like! I'm rather fond of the drinks, myself, you know, so I've found quite a few places.
[Yes, the "lad" drinks quite a bit, in fact. Pubs are one of his favorite places, and he'll take bars when he can't have pubs.]
Probably does, hearty bear hugs at that most likely.
[Fergus manages to make it to his feet, a bit unsteady on the knobby knot that is his left leg but standing none the less. Though now that he's standing he realizes just how small the other is.]
Ye sure a wee lamb like yourself knows a good drink?
no subject
[That's the first time he's been compared to one, though, and he's somewhere between confused and amused. He smiles at Fergus anyway, though, and though there's pretty much no way he could help support someone that big, he positions himself at the king's right side for that purpose, just in case.]
I'm Peregrine Took. Most people just call me Pippin. I'm a hobbit, so trust me, I know drinking.
no subject
A hobbit rather than a lamb eh? [Children and their imaginations.] We'll see about that Pippen. I am Fergus, head of the clan DunBroch and king of the four clans.
no subject
[Pippin can execute a nice courtly bow. He's spent time in Gondor, after all! So he offers one to Fergus, grinning, and then straightens to put his hand on the big man's arm, ready to lead him on.]
Come along, your majesty, the best pub I've found so far is this way.
no subject
[It was a nice bow though, very courtly like he was sure the Elenor would have approved.]
The best yes say, hopefully they have large enough glasses then.
no subject
[He looks a little starry-eyed at the prospect, actually. He keeps his hand on Fergus's huge arm, and leads the way down the road. It really isn't far, and he's actually really getting into this whole "touching people" requirement.]
The biggest they'll give me is a pint, but I suppose a pint isn't all that bad, either.
no subject
[Thought that won't keep him from passing one of those large glasses to the hobbit once they get there and Fergus has one or two of his own.]
Aye, I would say not.
no subject
So have you been here from the beginning? When we first all showed up here? I have, and I still don't know what it's all about. It's a really weird place, don't you think? Especially when they give us free drinks!
