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.]

"I do, so long as you don't mind." Legolas gives a little smile, glad that he can finally provide good news! Taking a seat and leaning back, careful not to irritate his neck, he sighs comfortably.

"I've learned that when we are taken from Arda, time seems to have little meaning. When last I walked through the forest, it was the Fourth Age. Sauron was defeated and by a pair of hobbits no less." He laughs very softly at the memory. Such plain and unassuming creatures and yet Frodo had carried the fate of all Middle Earth.

The king smiled himself, a little ironically. "Why should I mind?" It was true that he had not always been able to stay long with Legolas back in Mirkwood, but back there he'd had other, and frequently more important, things to do. There was only so much time that could be spared when one was King of a realm like Mirkwood, which needed such constant and such vigilant defense.

"I do not see how that can be," he said, seeming somewhat unconcerned about it. He wasn't convinced that the darkness overshadowing Mirkwood could be so easily expunged. "Sauron has lain defeated for thousands of years." And what, exactly, were hobbits?

"I don't know. I'm still used to life in the tower, I suppose. Everyone having something that needs done, keeping each other at arms length." Never knowing who to trust. He shouldn't have to worry about that here and he quietly leans against his father. Not enough for support but to remind himself that he's there.

It was nice to just relax a moment now, smiling a little at knowing something his father didn't. A youthful part of him that the tower hadn't quite managed to snuff.

"His ring survived. The Ruling Ring. And he couldn't be truly defeated until it was destroyed in Orodruin's fire."

Thranduil didn't lean against Legolas, not quite, but he did incline himself towards him, bowing his head just a little over his son's. And he listened. His eyes closed in a very subtle, veiled sorrow - he knew, only too well, what it was to hold everyone at arm's length. He would not wish such isolation for his son. It had, for Thranduil, been what he'd used to deal with being forced to take his throne in Mordor, in fields of ash and blood. It could be a very lonely existence.

"The Ruling Ring has been gone this past age," he said carefully at this news. He was not completely ignorant at its history.

"Yes but only. It was found by Gollum, then Bilbo and then passed on to Frodo." It was impossible not to recognize it when Frodo had brought it out at the Council of Elrond. Even Boromir had recognized it. And they had all learned quite a bit about it during the Council.

"So much has happened." He paused for a moment. "When was it before you came here?"
