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.] |

"Just" not well?
[She may be linefacing, but the disbelief and likely slightly tempered tone is telling. She sighs, holding a hand out to check his temperature if he doesn't mind. Who knows, it may even help.]
no subject
He blinks beneath her hand, steadying himself against the wall. The nausea and dizziness and ebb away, and Roxas is unsure of whether to be shocked or grateful.
Instead, he opts to close his eyes, shoulders slackening. This feels much better.]
no subject
You may need to sit down.
[ She even offers that same hand to help steady him as he does so.
Congratulations, Roxas. You're getting mothered by a total stranger.]no subject
Cool but what does 'mothering' mean, we're talking about KH here, what are parentsEven with little recovery from her touch, Roxas still feels uneasy. He blinks hard as she offers her hand. He's not a baby, and he certainly doesn't need his hand held. Maybe it was just a fluke.]
I can make it. [Right? He releases his hand from the wall, waving a bit before standing up straight. They just need to find a chair...]
no subject
you will soon find out mister she is future parent after allThere's a bit of amusement in her gaze. Clearly, this was someone who was strong-willed. Likely a skilled warrior type, if rough around the edges (sigh; why does she always come across the stubborn ones?).]
There are a few restaurants just down the road.
[The way she came; though really, she is beginning to wonder if he listened to their advice.]
no subject
He clears his throat, giving a slow nod as he runs a hand through his hair.]
Right. [You should probably walk him. For now, he'll make it to the sidewalk, though not without a bit of a wobble.]
Who are you?
no subject
Noting that wobble, she decides to stay close...lest he lose his balance and begin to fall.]
I am Lulu, of Besaid village.
[Though she doubts the village name has any meaning to him; no one seemed to know of her hometown in this world (was this how he'd felt when no one believed him about Zanarkand?).]
And you are-?
no subject
His mouth opens, but before he can get the words out, there's another wave of dizziness. He presses a hand to his forehead, slowing to a halt and giving a small, uneasy groan. His other hand lifts just slightly, to find something to hold onto.]
I'm-... sorry, could you-?
no subject
You failed to heed their warning, didn't you?
[It isn't really a scolding... except it totally is.]
no subject
It totally is. Yeah, yeah. Roxas doesn't meet her eyes.]
They're... actually serious about it? You get this sick if you're not in contact with anyone else? [Come on, lady. It has to seem a little far-fetched to you too, just a bit.]
no subject
It would seem so. [Considering she was the kind to think of logic before simply accepting things (aside from Yevon teachings, but indoctrinated since small child), she likely tested out that claim beforehand.]
I have not heard of something like this occurring before, either.
no subject
I haven't either. [He's still weary, but this is alright. He can walk steadily now.] But I guess we don't have much of a choice.
no subject
Perhaps not.
[At least not until they find out the cause.]
no subject
How long have you been here?
wow i thought i answered this sorry ;A;
Around a week, more or less.
you're good!
You haven't found out anything about why they're making us do this, huh? [He seems a bit miffed again.] It's weird enough that they already had rooms picked out for us here.
