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.]

Fuu /Samurai Champloo/ Option 2

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-18 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ It’s a nice evening out and after gorging at the Riverside Shack, Fuu heads down to the river bank with the desire to do nothing more than enjoy the slightly cool air and the remainder of the sunset. Sandals in her hand, she dips one toe, testing out the water cautiously. ]

Huh, not too bad.

[ Toes wiggling and a pleased grin on her face, she wades in, ankle deep, kicking up tiny waves. It’s a fun diversion and one that she gets a little too invested in doing and stops paying careful attention to her footing. One slip and SPLOOSH, butt first into the water. ]

OH DAMNIT!! [ Spluttering, she pushes up, now half soaked and scowling. ] Now I’m going to have to walk home like this.

[ The girl whips her head around, looking for anything that looks like a towel in her immediate vicinity. ]


((ooc: I'm good with combining other options!))
callmewhateveryuwant: (Class | Seize the moment)

poor fuu

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-05-18 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Actually, there is not only a towel being handed to her but a boy is there standing beside her. She looks like she needs it so he decided to come over without questioning it. It's in his nature to be helpful after all.]

Here, you need this more than me.
notflatchested: (Big Smile!)

she's a klutz DX

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-18 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Thank you!

[ Have a beaming smile kindly stranger! Fuu takes the offered towel and tries to ignore the amounts of mud also present and how much of a pain it will be to get that out later. Drying off as best she can, she still kinda has that 'half drowned' look. ]

I should have been paying more attention.
callmewhateveryuwant: (Glasses | Thinking)

pft

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-05-19 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[As long as she's not hurt...]

It happens even when we are. Would you like me to take you back to your place?
notflatchested: (what the hell?)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-20 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, no - [ embarrassed a little? yes she is. ] - I can get there and return your towel tomorrow. If you like. I mean I'm sure I can get the mud out.

[ Oh cue nervous laugh. ]
callmewhateveryuwant: (Smile | Proud of all)

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-05-20 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
It's alright, I don't mind.

[This boy is being polite without any agenda at all. Take the plunge! Or if your samurai friend is close by, make him jealous.]
notflatchested: (sunflower)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-20 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He seems nice enough, but in Fuu World, that's almost it's own warning sign. Still trudging off miserably back by herself isn't all that appealing and it isn't like anyone here has a reason to partake in kidnapping.

Hey this place might turn out to be all right! ]


Are you sure? I mean I don't want to impose.

[ Pffttt Mugen's probably getting into a fight the jerk. ]
callmewhateveryuwant: (Listen to the beat)

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-05-20 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shook his head in reply, a small chuckle escaping his lips.]

I'm positive. It wouldn't be fair to let you go on your own and I did offer.

[Being a gentleman. Or it could be swag, who knows.]
notflatchested: (Big Smile!)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-21 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess we better get going then. Pretty sure the mud isn't going to get itself out.

[ Wry, but with a brighter sort of smile. ]

So how long have you been here?

[ In this very strange and maybe interesting place. ]

callmewhateveryuwant: (The Fool | Everyone starts at the beginn)

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-05-23 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[A smile looks good on her. And he means in a totally friendly way because he likes seeing people happy.]

Not very long, just around the time when the first group showed up. Did you just arrive?
notflatchested: (sunflower)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-23 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I gotta admit it's kinda weird, but not so bad, y'know? So far everyone has been pretty nice.
callmewhateveryuwant: (Glasses | Thinking)

[personal profile] callmewhateveryuwant 2013-05-24 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Maybe too nice but there's no need to worry at the moment.]

Are you talking about the physical contact part that's weird?

[Mugen was miserable, this place sucks, all this hugging and fluffy crap.

It was enough to make him sick, which it did earlier. Learning things the hard way as he usually did.

He notices Fuu and goes to saunter over, when she splashes directly into the water. Cue Mugen laughing his ass off....]
notflatchested: (what did you do now?)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-19 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ And she’s taken a sort of sadistic glee in his discomfort and maybe him seeing her fall is payback for her quiet snickering. Not that she agrees with karma if this is in fact what it is. So she shoots him a dirty look while pushing herself up. ]

Why do I put up with you again?

[ Well she knows why. There are a lot of reasons why, but she’s mad, embarrassed, and SOMEHOW he’s always around for her less than stellar moments. Screw you, life. Screw. You. ]
ryukyu_way: (Default)

[personal profile] ryukyu_way 2013-05-20 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
[Well Mugen himself is rather enjoying her discomfort right now, sot here is that. He also makes not a single move to help her, she's just wet, she can handle it.]

Tch, the hell are you talking about, should be me asking that question.

[Because, why did he put up with her? He doesn't know why, but there are reasons there. Mugen had survived fine on his own before hand. But...here he was.]
notflatchested: (what did you do now?)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-20 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Jerk.

[ Muttered under her breath as she wrings what water she can out of her kimono. The mud though, there's not much to do about that right now.

Well now that her mood went south, she stalks out of the water, sandals swinging in her fingers right before her hands plant on her hips. ]


You haven't been getting into trouble have you.

[ Because he looks slightly pleased and that's always a bad sign, right? ]
ryukyu_way: (Default)

[personal profile] ryukyu_way 2013-05-20 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Flat chest.

[what, it is a legit insult and besides she started it, he was just finishing it.]

How's that any of your damn business?

[He is Mugen, what does she think?]
notflatchested: (whatchalookinathuh?)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-20 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ GRRRRR - kicking him would be childish wouldn't it? Obviously more childish than sticking her tongue out at him because she does do that.]

Which means you have been. [ Long, suffering sigh, right before plops down next to him. ] Well I don't hear any screaming or shouting for guards or help, so it must not have been that bad.
ryukyu_way: (pic#)

[personal profile] ryukyu_way 2013-05-21 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[It amuses him and it is a completely Fuu like reaction, he expects it really.

She should know and that is what the look he says gives her.]


People are too damn touchy feely here and not in the good way.

[They all wanted to hug, Mugen wants to punch them, it makes him happy.]
notflatchested: (sunflower)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-05-21 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
Here I thought you'd like strange women rushing up to wrap their arms around you.

[ Now she just looks amused. ]
ryukyu_way: (pic#6030900)

[personal profile] ryukyu_way 2013-07-14 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
Not if all their gonna do is hug me, useless affection crap.

[He will just glare daggers and look petulant here.]
notflatchested: (whatchalookinathuh?)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-07-14 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
You don't exactly give them reason to want to do anything else.

[ Except maybe to poison him or use him to take on a secret army, but why bring those up?

SNICKER. ]
ryukyu_way: (Default)

[personal profile] ryukyu_way 2013-07-27 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Shut the fuck up and hug me already damn it!

[Sulk and he is tired of feeling like shit, so he'll stumble forward and try to hug her rather she likes it or not.]
notflatchested: (what did you do now?)

[personal profile] notflatchested 2013-07-27 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Fuu might want to kick him in the shin most of the time, or launch a sandal at his head, she might even be a bit peeved at why he's hugging her, but she also cares for the perpetual asshole. So she kinda braces herself as best she can and wraps her arms around his midsection with a grumble. ]

Could you just ask like a normal person? Just one time?

[ And hopefully he's got enough balance left to not send them both toppling over. She's had enough of being in the mud for one day. ]
ryukyu_way: (pic#)

[personal profile] ryukyu_way 2013-07-28 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[No such luck Fuu because as he scoffs and goes to reply with some sarcastic something or other their feet slip and down they go.

It is a tumble that contains several curses from Mugen and the tangling of limbs.]


Could you not be so fuckin' clumsy?
