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 coming to realize that they really meant that warning of theirs, though. I thought they couldn't possibly mean we had to have physical contact to survive, but clearly they do... hmm.
no subject
[The hard way. Thankfully she hasn't moved her hand. His recovery is slow, but at least it's recovery at all.]
Your girls are back where you come from?
no subject
[She shifts a little closer, sitting next to the boy with their arms touching; she blushes faintly at Roxas' second comment.]
Yeah. I'm missing then a little. A-and I just mean the girls I'm close to. Not children, I'm way too young for that. [And can't have any by her partners back home, but that's a whole other story.]
no subject
Me too. [Definitely.] Hope they learn quicker than I do.
Anyway, sounds like you have a lot of friends, at least.
no subject
I'm sorry... I don't mean to be pushy. But... [She frowns, looking away nervously.] ...please, don't push me away? I do have friends at home, that I do miss dearly... but it took a long time and a lot of heartache to reach that point.
no subject
I didn't mean to- I didn't do it because you'd done anything wrong or I wanna push you away. I'm really just not used to sort of thing. ...Sorry about that.
no subject
[She sighs, taking a deep breath, and gives Roxas a lopsided grin.]
...it's a long story. Anyway, it's not your fault. I didn't mean to weird you out or anything.
no subject
Anyway, [looking back at her,] what happened with your friends?
no subject
...I'm not sure where to begin about "before", though. I guess the short version is, I was at war before I came here. I had some hard things come up, and I got hurt very badly. I'm still not entirely sure how I made it through everything. And as a result of that, I became dependent on a few specific people.
I guess I'm still working on being away from them for extended period of time without going crazy. So I try to help other people, to take my mind off things. [She laughs a little, looking away again.] Wow, that really makes me sound crazy, now that I listen to it.
no subject
You don't. Guess if you've been through a war, you've gotta keep your mind off somewhere.
You might not wanna talk about it, but... why was there a war in the first place?
no subject
There are two answers to that. One is that it's my job - the power I wield exists to fight a specific enemy, and that enemy's forces. The other... things are weird in the place I came from. First there was the group that used giant robots to try and end the use of giant robots, then the Inspectors that came from space to try and kill us all, plus all the other local groups that had problems with someone else...
Mostly, my team got dragged into someone else's war. But we got help with our problems, so we helped in return.
[1/2] eeep! i'm sorry! my inbox ate this! /)_(\ i'm so sorry.
[2/2]
It's okay, it's okay!
And now I've got permanent injuries, documented mental instabilities, and a few dead friends, all because people just couldn't get along.
[...Your expression doesn't really match with your words, Sora.]
if you're sure ; ;!
Uh... But... You had friends to help you after all of that. Right?
no subject
no subject
Um.]
Maybe one of them will show up later?
no subject
[She grins a little sadly.] I'm sorry, you must really think I'm a basket case. I don't normally dump all my emotional issues on people all at once, especially when I don't even know their names.
no subject
He glances down, a little guilty, before looking back at her and raising his open palm.]
...It's Roxas. [Carefully.] It's okay. I was the one asking questions. Sounds like you've been through a lot.
no subject
I'm Sora. I'm glad to meet you, Roxas.
no subject
'Sora?' You both have the same name...! [But they were entirely different people. That's strange.]
no subject
no subject
[He's my other half, in a literal sense. Maybe the better half. But he doesn't mention that.]
He's saved worlds from falling into Darkness. He had friends help him, but he's the reason why it all came together.
[Half-awed, half-sad, it's difficult to tell whether Roxas is thankful for these facts or slightly depressed that they're facts at all.]
