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.] |

[You do not want to hug this man.]
[No, really, you don't. The feeling that hangs around him is one that induces dread, a sense of malice and hate strong enough to nearly have physical weight to it. Of course, he doesn't exactly want to hug you, either, which...is not going too well for him, what with the violent chills and the nausea. He can't even look up too sharply without feeling his vision swim, which only serves to make him angrier, about everything.]
[It also makes him less aware of his surroundings. Wherever you want to go, he's in your way, head bowed where he leans against the nearest convenient object or surface.]
Option 5
[One way or another, Archer has made his way past the city gates. Such an obvious place to investigate... Of course he couldn't simply ignore it without giving it so much as a cursory glance.]
[Now that he's here, though, he finds his thoughts dwelling on the way a desolate, rundown place like this suits him much better than the city behind him. His "investigation" is one of unfocused wandering, and maybe his demeanor even seems a little melancholy.]
Option 4
Lord? You should sit down. You look ill. Is there something I can get for you?
no subject
You should worry about yourself.
no subject
[Diarmuid lightly rubs the man's arm.]
You are the sick one and father always told me to help others before myself. Especially sick people. Did you eat something bad? Should I get you a drink?
no subject
Learn to be a little more discerning about the advise you follow.
no subject
This is fun! I can see so much more now!
[He looks over at the other man seeming to forget he is sick and points to his shoulders.]
If you wanted to help me look around that would be a more comfortable perch! I'm not that heavy. People carry me around all the time. See! You are already lifting me even though...
Oh, right! You are sick! We need to fix that first. But why wouldn't I want to take father's advice? He's a god! He knows best!
Option 4
I can't imagine you're particularly friendly to the others, so that would explain what the problem is.
no subject
Maybe. [He tries to sound casual, or at least as casual as something like him can. He shrugs a shoulder dismissively.] I'll be fine.
[shut up Archer you're going to die of not getting enough hugs]
4, haha I had to tag you again
He shouldn't care if he's sick if they're enemies, should he? If this man is evil. Yet he's still curious about him, and you should know your enemies, shouldn't you? ...he'll probably regret this.]
Are you okay?
[He'll run if he has to.]
no subject
You really don't have any sense of self-preservation, do you. [It's not a question, because he doesn't really need to ask. That fact makes him unhappy (and angry, but some days he thinks it would be easier just to note what doesn't make him angry), and he frowns.]
no subject
[He knows he does (even if not the greatest sense of self-preservation). He'd run away back on the island. He'd been scared and had wanted to save himself. He doesn't want to die. He feels scared now, but he makes himself stay.]
You've got that sickness people get here, don't you?
[Maybe now that he's weaker, Kerry can find out something more about him? Or is that a dumb idea?
It's probably a dumb idea, Kerry.]no subject
[His frown deepens, but his expression is different than the kind he wore the last time the last time they spoke. His thoughts are scattered by his illness, and so his anger is unfocused, which probably benefits no one but Kiritsugu.]
[This is probably still a dumb idea, though.]
Maybe I do. What of it?
no subject
How does this person know him?]
You've got to do something about it, or it'll get worse.
[He doesn't go so far as to offer his help. He's honestly afraid of what the stranger might do if they were in contact. He's still maintaining his distance. He can see why the man's having a problem, because who would want to hug him?]
What's your name?
no subject
[But at least Kiritsugu doesn't offer to help him. Archer really might have killed him right there, if he were actually that stupid.]
Archer.
[Wow, look at that. He gave a (more or less) straight answer to a question.]
no subject
Archer. That doesn't tell him much, but it's something. He wishes Natalia were here. She would probably know what to do.]
How do you know me?
no subject
[Telling Kiritsugu much or in helpful ways doesn't seem to be on Archer's agenda, unfortunately.]
no subject
What do I become?
[He hopes it's not something bad, but he wouldn't do anything bad, would he? He just wants to help people.]
