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.]

[Kerry doesn't say anything to the first comment. The man is probably right, and he should go. But the very fact that he's warning him off makes him more curious. Why would he do that if he wanted to hurt him? Yet at the same time, he's threatened his life, so he clearly does want to hurt him. It's confusing. He wishes he knew the story behind it. He doesn't like not knowing things, not when they could be dangerous.

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?

[That statement doesn't receive a proper reply. Instead, Archer responds with a dry, humorless laugh. Yes, the source of his problem is obvious, and there's not much to be done for it now.]

[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.]

[Kerry might be rash and unwise at times, and he might believe in helping people, but he's not that foolish. He can feel that aura and the unpleasant power radiating from the man, pushing him away. He can't bring himself to get any closer.

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?

I know what you become.

[Telling Kiritsugu much or in helpful ways doesn't seem to be on Archer's agenda, unfortunately.]

[Having met people from the ancient past, Kerry doesn't find it too strange that someone might have come from the future, though it's odd to think that this is someone from his future, somehow. It makes him even more curious. Curiosity is not always a good thing.]

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.]
