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.] |

He frees one hand and puts it over the red heart-shaped patch upon his chest, leaving the other holding on to Cathy's. It's physical contact after all, and even a handshake helps, he knows! ]
Happy to meet you, Cathy! I'm Talrovian, legally, but I'm going to get it changed to 'Thomas' whenever I get back home. I'll answer to anything, though! I get all sorts of nicknames. Even 'hey you' works in a pinch!
[ With a gentlemanly little flourish, he gestures towards the common room couches. He won't move towards them any faster than she can, and he's prepared to let her lean on him. ]
Ask a bit or ask a lot! I'm happy to talk if talking makes you happy.
no subject
Half-watching him, half-watching where they walk, she listens to him explain his name, or names even, with interest.]
Well in that case I ought to call you Thomas since that's the name you like.
[And Cathy is all about the things that people choose rather than enduring things they were given. After all, she'd done a little choosing herself, picking the Nightside over living a sane, boring life in London proper.]
Is everyone like you back home? Patchwork and metal, that is?
[It seems a sly sort of way of asking "By the way, what are you?"]

He does the gentlemanly thing again when they make it to a couch, making sure she's all comfortably seated and stable first, and proving his statement that he's "happy to talk" the whole while. ]
Oh gosh, no! I mean sure, clockwork's a pretty common base for constructs, but I'm a Lefrechan Original! The copper parts are, anyhow. Do you like the patches? I make my suits myself.
