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.]

[Richard glances up at Ruca when he is approached. He did not mean to concern anyone else, though of course he appreciates the kindness. The boy seems a little awkward, but Richard smiles at him with warm gratitude and speaks to put him at ease.] I'm fine, thank you. Just a little light-headed, probably the sun.
demonicbookworm: (it isn't right...)

[Despite Richard's words and smile, Ruca's nervousness about speaking to a stranger doesn't vanish completely. A small frown appears on his face as well. He suspects that the sun alone is not the cause here, but he doesn't say anything about it.]

I-in that case... perhaps it would be best to find a shaded place?
oathwalk: (to that class of men)

[Richard will just keep calm and hope that helps Ruca.] That may be for the best. [He's tired, but his eyes scan the street and he spots, further down, a nice, leafy-tree to sit under.] And I have an idea what will serve the purpose.
demonicbookworm: (all my worries)

[Ruca also notices the spot as his gaze follows Richard's.]

...If you... need help to get there...

[Well, he's always willing to help! A bit hesitantly he offers his hand to Richard.]

[personal profile] oathwalk 2013-05-19 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Richard might have insisted he is fine, so as not to trouble Ruca, but a hand was offered. So he accepts it with a grateful smile and pulls himself up.] Thank you. It's very kind of you.
demonicbookworm: (ahahaha)

[personal profile] demonicbookworm 2013-05-20 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ruca helps him up and smiles at him awkwardly. He replies hurriedly:]

N-not at all!... Anybody would do the same...

Does 'anybody' have a name? Mine is Richard.
demonicbookworm: (>:)

Ah... [He nods, bashful.] ...I'm Ruca. Ruca Milda. It's nice to meet you, Richard.
