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.]

I suppose I can help you out, then...

[it feels a lot less humiliating to go along with this if he makes it sound like it's for someone else's sake, after all. and he doesn't want to test that whole system just yet, at least not until he's found out whether anyone else has done so already first. he's not against using himself as a guinea pig, but no need to possibly cause himself harm if someone else already did it.]

Really?

[Her face lights up at the suggestion. She's not that excited about meeting her quota, but rather that someone's actually taking her up on her offer, even if it is only because they feel bad for her. ]

Um, then...

[Eagerly, she gestures at the two options on her sign, as if asking which one he wanted.]
lavenderglasses: (♦he spends way too much time on boats)

A hug would be most beneficial to both of us, wouldn't it? [he doesn't really have any stories to share, besides.]

[Secretly, she'd rather have the story but she's not going to tell that to her first customer.]

So then...

[She kind of just. Holds her arms out and stares at him questioningly for a moment to check again that he's okay with this.]

[he's too cynical, you wouldn't like any stories he might tell.

it's a good thing she kinda made that first move, because he wouldn't really have known how to. for being a cocky little asshole most of the time, and having more than his fair share of experience with intimate physical contact, casual and friendly acts aren't really his forte and he hates looking like he doesn't know what he's doing.

outwardly, at least, he's all easy smiles and unhurried grace, looking her over once before just shrugging and moving in to wrap his arms around her waist.]
