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 could feel as much. The fact that you opted to oblige me in an impromptu conversation concerning your breasts rather than attacking me on sight may have also contributed to the realization.

[ Was that a chuckle? Her features may remain vacant, but for a moment there's at least a faint semblance of laughter... Then her features twist briefly to pain. More of those symptoms... She'd almost forgotten. ]

Shura would have chuckled along had the woman not suddenly looked like she was in pain. Instead, she looked at her with concern, reaching out without touching her. "Hey, are you okay?"

Fine, I hope. This place is unusual. My powers diminish... But you appear unaffected, why?

[ She's wary of that hand, though simply through instinct at this point. You'll have to forgive her, she's not used to friendly demons. Or the prospect of contact to refresh her glyphs. Frankly, more than anything, she's nervous, perhaps embarrassed - or both? Relearning your emotions is tricky enough without being forced to do it in such an unusual fashion. ]

I am not removing my clothes if that is the answer.

"I... I don't know, am I supposed to be sick too? I just arrived here yesterday and I feel okay..." Shura takes out the information packet she has received upon getting her apartment. "Maybe there's a hospital nearby or something."

I doubt a hospital will do much to aid the restoration of my powers... This lightheaded sensation that plagues me is also quite bothersome.

[ Shanoa swallows hard for a moment before returning her eyes to Shura's, though she seems a little ... ashamed, honestly. ]

If I might be a bit frank... I cannot stand physicians.

"I can understand that," Shura said with a nod. "With my markings and horns doctors here would probably have a field day and..." At that moment, she found a full page warning about withdrawal from contact. Her eyes went wide as she read, then she looked at the other woman. "... is this true?"

That should teach you not to only skim the information you were given upo arrival in a new world, Shura.
