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.]

Natasha Romanoff | MCU | Option ish

[personal profile] herbestdisguise 2013-05-14 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
=She only arrived a few hours ago and her curiosity is peaked. She would be more distressed but curiosity and the need to keep calm override that. She knows that panic does nothing when it comes to trying to understand a new situation.

She moves through the city carefully, picking her way through the new world with a map and an expression that says she's rather busy with all the new things.

She's around Building Two. Studying the layout and analyzing it's potential. She's not sure how she feels about all of this, the new world, the fact that she must engage in some kind of signifigant contact I she wants to stay functioning. It's all more than a little...odd.

But odder things have happened to her and she's not going to treat any of it like it's nonsense until she's gotten proof to the contrary.)

Are you lost too, miss? [Alice asks behind Natasha when she saw the older woman with the map.] I certainly am. I'm rather spectacularly lost, you see. Or well, I suppose you don't as I've only just told you. But I was following this cat and then I lost my way. [She had a bad habit of following animals and getting in places she didn't know.]

You are so not helping my desire to throw a version of Nat in here that's been lost in Wonderland.

She heard the young girl moving behind her and was keeping an ear out for any threats but was fairly certain she would be fine. However, when he's addressed, she turns around, folding the map and studying the girl.

"I'm new," she says. "I'm still trying to find my way around. Which is both tru and untrue. She's new yes, but she's also more aware of things than she lets on. Better to let someone think you're not as bright as you actually tare than assume the otherwise.
madcuriosity: (I don't know where I am)

Color me curious on the version :o!

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-14 08:52 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh! I'm new as well! I've not ever been to such a place before and it's so terribly curious, this place. I've not ever been to anything like it before. Oh but, it's pretty. There's pictures of places like these in my father's books about China and other places in the orient." Alice looked around.

"Ah but... for as pretty as it all is, I really wish I knew a better way around. I think the place I'm staying is around her somewhere but things start all looking the same if you've never seen them before."

>> I might thorw her in here, just cause I kind of meant to anyway.

[personal profile] herbestdisguise 2013-05-14 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
She closes the distance between them and offers out the map to Alice. "here, see if you can't get more use out of this than I am." She doesn't need the map that badly, she's got a basic knowledge and if this little girl really is just...well, a little girl, she probably shouldn't be on the streets alone.

"I'll help you find your way, if you need it."
madcuriosity: (Fairy child)

Well, where better than a test drive meme

At the mention of help, Alice brightened up considerably, offering Natasha a smile as she took the map.

"Oh! Thank you so much! I would greatly appreciate the help! I really don't wish to get lost any further, but if I must get lost, much better to get lost with company than to be lost alone! Don't you agree!"
herbestdisguise: (pic#5158652)

Yeeeah, I might hae caved and done it.

[personal profile] herbestdisguise 2013-05-14 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
She chuckles a little. "I suppose you're right. Besides, you're likely to find your way again if you have someone to help you, right?"

She offers out a hand. "What's your name?"
madcuriosity: (A proper curtsy)

I noticed :D

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-14 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Without hesitation, Alice took the older woman's hand, unsuspecting of how dangerous Natasha was and could be. Rather, she was just glad to have found someone willing to help her and that more than anything was top priority for Alice.

"My name is Alice Liddell, miss! A pleasure to meet you. What is your name?"

Re: I noticed :D

[personal profile] herbestdisguise 2013-05-14 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
She's trying to remember if she was ever that young, that trusting. She doesn't think so and even if she was, it was probably worked out of her very quickly.

She considers for a moment, then smiles. "Natasha, nice to meet you too."

She leads them towards Building Two, simply to get them out of the street and into a place where they might be able to not be in such an open area. She's still not certain how safe the city is, at least not with fist hand experience and while she doesn't entirely trust the apartment buildings, she finds them slightly safer than the streets.
madcuriosity: (This sounds like so much fun!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-15 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Alice is much more open than Natasha, and she isn't about to stop being one simply because she's appeared in a new world. And one that relied on physical contact was actually quite a nice notion to her.

"Oh! Look, the apartment buildings! Miss Natasha you are very good at getting unlost!"

[personal profile] herbestdisguise 2013-05-16 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
It's not hard to be ore open than Natasha, really. But she's trying to not be so completely closed off that it's off putting to the girl, so that's something.

"I'm not bad at it," she says with a small smile. "Though, I admit that this time I'm good at it because of that." She taps the map lightly with one finger.
madcuriosity: (Oh what is this?)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-16 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Wherever did you find it? I would love to have a map of the city, though I admit, I've not used a map very often... Though I never went anywhere I usually didn't know already."

[personal profile] herbestdisguise 2013-05-16 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
"Someone gave it to e. You can keep it if you'd like." she offers. "I don't think I'll be needing it anymore." Meaning, she acclimated herself to the city fairly well before Alice showed up and, if she needs to, she can always find another one.
