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.] |

with his red eyes and grey hair, he reminds her a bit of nai, but it's his humming that's really caught her interest. she's never heard that tune before, and while it's quite pretty, it also seems tinged with sadness, yet he's humming it so cheerfully. she'd like to ask him about it (what it's called, if there's any meaning behind the melody), but at the same time, she doesn't want to interrupt him. maybe if she lingers here a little longer, an opportunity to begin a conversation will present itself. ]

So he looks back up, and then he sees her. Kaworu's no stranger to being surveyed, although that these eyes aren't judging him is a refreshing change of pace. Kiwis are next, he thinks, since they look like an interesting fruit. But first he breaks his song mid-bar to say, like a neighbor might,] Hello, there.

[ she pauses, and her eyes flicker downwards before she speaks again. ] I apologize for staring. [ although she didn't mean anything bad by it, staring is generally considered to be rude regardless of the intent, and she's a bit ashamed of herself for neglecting her manners like that. another pause, and then— ] That song was nice. Does it have a name?

The song is called Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit. It was nice, wasn't it? It's a glory to hear performed properly.

[ a faint sign of recognition shows on her face when he tells her the name — though she's never heard of it before, she is familiar with the language, or at least familiar enough to know what it translates to. ] 'God's time is the very best time'... thank you. What does a proper performance of it entail?

The song is a cantata. This means that it's a choral accompanied by instrumental music for several movements. It's played with viols and recorders, but it's been transcribed for the piano as well.
