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.] |

No. This place is where I ended up, and for now it looks like I'm staying.
[He straightens, and glances around the area. It's a whole lot different from home - more lively than home, in fact - but that doesn't make it ideal.] Well, what do you think? Are you going to treat it like you're alive or like you're dead?
no subject
But if he's straightening up, Badou's gonna slooowly do the same.]
So they can trap glow-in-the-dark angels here too, huh?
[Badou frowns, turning to look back out of the ocean before bringing his cigarette out in front of his eyes again.]
This has to be some tripped-up dream if I'm actually standing here talking to an angel right now. Guess I won't really worry about it unless something actually happens around here. Just hope this place's got a lighter somewhere. And another pack.
[Glancing back at Kaworu.] And by light, I meant a flame, kid. Some way I can light my cigarette.

I don't have anything that could help you with that, but I did see they have some shops and things further along here. It looks like they want us to live healthily here. If you're open to that, I'm sure good things will happen.
no subject
I have no idea why, though. They could just be fattening us up for something. Ever think about that? [Pointing his cigarette at you, Kaworu, before he pops it into his lip. It's at least comforting to have it there, even unlit.] I'm gonna head out to the shops then. But anyone ever tell you you talk funny? I mean, wouldn't expect you not to, angel and all. Just saying. Looks like you'll get hugs alright anyway, with how pretty you look.
no subject
Don't underestimate yourself. I think you could achieve plenty of hugs on your own. Maybe with practice, though, I'll sound more like you. [Is he teasing, or too genuine for that? It's hard to tell.]
no subject
Mm, at least you got a nice taste in fashion 'n role models. [he takes up his shoes again, fingers hooked inside of the heels.] Not so good a judgement on who's getting hugs around here, since I'm not gonna be looking for any.

Take care, fallen angel dude. Keep that glowy thing turned off. It'll probably gonna help you out later, if you do.
[Badou salutes as he walks backwards towards the sidewalk, cigarette still tipped in his mouth, and then turns around.]
