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.]

[Morgan is sitting on the ground in the library section, a large stack of books right beside him. He's currently flipping through and scanning one rather large book. He's holding it just enough so the title can be read, revealing it to be Roman Battle Tactics 109BC-AD313. For such a title, the young man has quite a happy, even amused look on his face.

Remember that large stack of books? Well, it's taller than he is while he's sitting. The stack of books ends up finally keeling over on top of him. He lets out a rather loud surprised sound as he wasn't prepared for that.]

[Pilouette, who had been meandering around the library more just for something to do rather than because she was especially interested in being there, jumps a little when she hears that cry of surprise. Frowning a bit, she steps out from behind the shelf she was browsing just as the last book finishes tumbling down on him. She quickly scrambles over to check it out and speaks to him in a whisper. They are in a library, after all.]

Hey! Hey, are you okay...?!

[ even from a few shelves over, his cry and the sound of books hitting the floor draw her attention, as before now the library had been relatively quiet, and she returns the book she was skimming to its place as she goes to see what has happened. though she's taken aback at first by the amount of books amassed here (why would one person have gathered so many of them? surely he wasn't hoping to read them all in one sitting!), when she realizes there's someone underneath the pile she quickly begins to scoop some up in an attempt to uncover him. ]

Hold on. I'll get these off of you.
