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.]

Well hello there.

[Nae, he was not quite as large as a bear, least not as large as the demon bear Mordeu. Though he certainly was a man that towered over many others and bear fur on his back made have made him appear much like a bear.

Hear the voice of a wee lass though he looked over to see the small girl sitting not far from him.]

Hello there lass. I did nae see ye there.

Havin yerself a wee splash are ye?
madcuriosity: (This sounds like so much fun!)

I sort of adore you for playing Fergus

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-16 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you're very big and I'm very small! It's no wonder you didn't see me, sir. And yes! It's such a lovely day, after all! Everyone should just enjoy a beautiful day, I think. Are you enjoying yourself? I think you must be because you have such a wonderful smile!

But you adore all things Disney.

[personal profile] chompedcleanoff 2013-05-18 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Aye, I am and they should. Ye seem ta be full of energy though.

[Quite an active and energetic young thing, it reminded him a bit of a certain firey girl when she was about that age.]

An' what do ye call yerself lass?
madcuriosity: (How do you do!)

Some things, like Fergus, I adore more than others

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-18 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Alice, Alice Liddell! [She curtsied in greeting.]

What is your name, sir?

I see.

[personal profile] chompedcleanoff 2013-05-18 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow a curtsy and everything, quite the young lady he had in his presence.]

There's no need for that now.

I am Fergus of the clan DunBroch, king of the four clans.
madcuriosity: (Oh what is this?)

:)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-18 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my goodness! Well, it's very nice to meet you, your highness! Where is DonBroch? [He sounded Scottish!]

^_^

[personal profile] chompedcleanoff 2013-05-18 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Aye, an it's nice tae meet ye too lass. Out lands lay in the Highlands of Scottland, a wonderful place.
madcuriosity: (What a splendid idea!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-18 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! [She was right!]

We're practically neighbors! I live in England!

[personal profile] chompedcleanoff 2013-05-18 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Then what is a wee lass like yourself doing out here all alone?

[They might have been neighbors but the English weren't on the fondest of terms even as neighbors. Still she wasn't Roman.]

And such a long way from home ah that.
madcuriosity: (I don't know where I am)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-18 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well... my family wasn't brought here, your majesty. I got brought all by myself.

[personal profile] chompedcleanoff 2013-05-19 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Well thae won't do at all. Just how many years have ye seen?
madcuriosity: (Alice and Mr. Rabbit)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-20 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Why, I'm seven and a half, sir!

[personal profile] chompedcleanoff 2013-05-23 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[[Now that finals are done.]]

Jus' a wee lass then. Do ya at least have someone lookin af'er ya? Or are ye runnin free an' makin' all sorts a mischief?
madcuriosity: (A curious riddle)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-23 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't have anyone, sir. My family didn't get brought here, I'm afraid. Ah, mischief? No, I don't think I've made any, I might have unintentionally, I think?
