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.] |

[Even though the cooking in the restaurants is nowhere near as good as the food his mother makes, Cu Chulainn still likes it because he can order portions as big as he wants. However, one problem he keeps on running into is the lack of money. So today, he can be spotted arguing with a waiter about why he should or shouldn't pay.]
Option 3
[Being the curious kid that he is, Cu Chulainn can be spotted messing around with a variety of tools in the workshop in the learning center. Or cutting pretty pictures out of library books. Or even poking you and incessantly asking you questions of what you're doing.]
Option 5
[Cu Chulainn is an active kid. As a result, he prefers sports to quieter activities such as learning. Today, he can be spotted hitting a ball down the roads with a long stick, as if he considers the entire city his sports field.]
Option 1
Re: Option 1
Don't they know the first thing about hospitality? Why do they charge such silly things for just a meal?

You're not supposed to cut those up. They're for everyone.
Re: 3
[He holds out the book he's mangling right now.]
Did you wanna try to cut one out?
no subject
If you cut them up, nobody else can read them or look at the pictures. Look.
[He holds up one of the pictures Cu cut up, showing how the other side of it is covered with words. Words Cu cut out.]
No, I don't want to. [He's not a baby who does stupid things like cut up books.] You're ruining them. If you leave the pictures in the books you can come back and look at them later.
no subject
Are those words? I can't understand them at all.
[He looks down at the cut-up book, and then at his own knife.]
But I can look at all the pictures when they're in my room. Or I can put them all in a book that only has pictures.
no subject
Yeah, they're words. They're supposed to be part of the books.
But you're being selfish, and cutting up books is against the rules. They don't belong to you. They're public property, and you're stealing.
[He doesn't care that much about books, it's the principle of the thing! Also, he reads the books here, he doesn't want them full of holes because of some silly kid.]
no subject
Should I...give all the pictures I already have back?
no subject
[But he pauses. He knows Cu just liked the pictures and didn't mean any harm.]
Maybe you can keep a few. Since you already ruined the books anyway.
no subject
[He mutters. Then, he stands up and looks determined.]
And I'll do anything to make it up to these people whose books I ruined!
no subject
You should go apologize to them and ask them what you can do.
no subject
I will! And thank you! For telling me what I did wrong!
[He runs off to talk to the librarians.]
