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.]

[Raye has to bite her tongue to keep herself from demanding to know if his REAL reason is to go suck energy out of happy beach bums. She folds her arms, gritting her teeth and looking angry. Were she able, she could feign being charmed just to keep an eye on this guy, pretend to be his friend. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer, right? But subterfuge is better for the more subtle scouts, and Raye is NEVER subtle, more's the pity.]

I just don't want to be bothered right now!

[Which is true enough. She's not sure how to reply to his remark about her being familiar, however, so she decides the best course of action is to NOT remark on it.]

[The fiery Mars was similar in disposition but that wasn't something he could put his finger on. How could he? What was the chance that they'd end up here in the same place, let alone the exact same city if this was supposedly an entirely different dimension?]

Suit yourself. Though, you really should take care not to display such a temper in front of others, especially people you don't know. I doubt you'll find a boyfriend very quickly that way.

[His suave demeanor recovered quickly it seems. He merely smirked, all the more amused now.]

WHAT?!

[Oh no he DIDN'T! Raye's furious. So much for the keep-your-enemies-close nonsense, he'll pay for that! She snatches up her bottle of suntan lotion and pitches it at his head.]

That's not for YOU to decide! You're the last person I'd want as a boyfriend!

[Negacreep.]

[Nephrite chuckled wholeheartedly as he let her stew on that, the flying sunblock caught in his hand by reflex.]

Thanks. I needed some of that, actually.

[To add salt to the wound perhaps he spread a little on his forearms, and then tossed it back if a bit more gently than she had first thrown it.]

Heh. You don't say? Well, with an attitude like that like I said you won't find one soon.

[She swats it aside. She takes karate, so there, she has good reflexes too! And she's not touching that stupid thing after HE touched it.]

For the last time, I'm not interested! Can't you get that through your thick skull, or is there too much hair mousse clogging your ears?!
