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.]

[Alice was focused. And when Alice was focused, it was near impossible to break her of that focus. Right now? She was focusing on a beautiful black cat and she had every intention of holding, petting, and hugging that black cat. She was just behind it and in one fell-swoop she made to pick it up to cuddle.]

Ah! Heeere kitty kitty!

Rrow?!

[It isn't often that someone manages to get the drop on Yoruichi, but this time, Alice has succeeded, and Yoruichi is somewhat surprised...but not unduly alarmed. The cat is stiff when picked up, paws sticking outward at a comical angle with furry shoulders bunched up. It's just a child, so Yoruichi suffers the indignation...for now. If Alice were much older, or more malevolent in nature, someone's face would be very scratched right about now.]
madcuriosity: (Ultimate Squee!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-14 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ah! I caught you! Well hello, Kitty! [Alice is grinning so wide she could give the Cheshire Cat a run for his money as she stroked the cat's fur and stroked behind the cat's ears.] Oh aren't you just the loveliest kitty! And so soft! [Yay cuddling with kitties, Alice's favorite past-time!]

[The child seems nice enough, so Yoruichi purrs. The cat isn't uncomfortable with this, and Alice is completely correct with her praise. Yoruichi is indeed lovely and soft, thank you very much. A whiskered face rubs against Alice's cheek.]
madcuriosity: (My sweet Dinah)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-15 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[At the purring and more, the rubbing, she scratched under Yoruichi's chin and rubbed her face against Yoruichi's.]

Oh sweet kitty, you make me miss my sweet Dinah at home. She was all black just like you are.

[Is that so? Alice has excellent taste in pets, then, Yoruichi would say. If she thought it wise to speak, in any case. For now, Yoruichi is content to affectionately headbutt the young girl and purr.]
madcuriosity: (Speaking with Dinah)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-17 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Alice thinks so too. She looks around for a bench and, finding one, takes a seat with Yoruichi in her arms.]

Dinah is very clever, Kitty. She has two kittens, Snow Drop and Kitty. Kitty can be such a trouble maker, though. She looks just like you do! Oh! But there's one other cat very near and dear to me! You see there's Cheshire Puss. He's a silver tabby. He's terribly clever and terribly mad! But he's very kind to me.

[It's tempting to chuckle; Yoruichi has a soft spot for troublemakers, being known for as much back in Soul Society. Yoruichi sits primly, listening, and prompting Alice to continue when necessary.]

M'row?
madcuriosity: (How peculiar!)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-17 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, Miss Kitty. Cheshire was the one who told me I'm mad, but he also showed me the shortcut to the beautiful garden. And when the queen was being mean he checked up on me, which is very kind of him considering the queen and king are all sorts of awful! Oh! You know, Miss Kitty, he could do something that I've never seen any cat do.

He could grin! Apparently all Cheshire Cats can grin but I've only ever met one Cheshire. Are you from England, Miss Kitty? Have you ever met a Cheshire Cat?

[personal profile] ihascheezburger 2013-05-23 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
[A grinning cat? That sounds a little creepy in her opinion, but it scarcely matters as a meeting with such a creature is highly unlikely. To indicate 'no' to both questions, Yoruichi glances around as though completely uninterested. A head shake is out of the question.]
madcuriosity: (Oh what is this?)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-23 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that's alright if you haven't. Hopefully, maybe someday, Cheshire will come here, Dinah and Kitty too! Oh, wouldn't that be lovely! I would very much like to introduce you, Miss Kitty. Oh but, if Kitty does come... hmm... we'll need to give you a proper name, Miss Kitty.

Let's see... do you like the name Lyla?
