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.]

You might want to try taking trips. [Miles had nearly run into her, but didn't necessarily offer to take some books off of her hands.] Although you've got quite the collection.
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - Wide eyed innocence)

\o/ D'aww well I think your icons are just lovely.

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2013-05-20 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh yeah, you know just...reading up on this place.

[She pokes her head out from one side of the books.] It's the kind of thing my uncle would do in these situations, heh.

[Speaking of. Blonde hair and glasses guy? Weirdly enough you look a teeny bit like him.]
bytheguidebook: (happy - smug)

thanks!

[personal profile] bytheguidebook 2013-05-20 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Well, it's important to understand what's going on but I rather doubt we'll find all the answers here. [He still doesn't move to help her but he does look distinctly amused now.]

Been here long?
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - Hm?)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2013-05-21 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
For a few days now actually...

How about you?

[Miles, seriously. She's struggling with these damned books right now. A little help wouldn't go underappreciated.]
bytheguidebook: (happy - smile)

[personal profile] bytheguidebook 2013-05-21 12:03 pm (UTC)(link)
About the same, really.

[He decides she's not going to do the smart thing and set the books down somewhere so he plucks a few off the top so at least it's not going to topple over immediately.] How about we find a table and knock our heads together over the mysteries of the city, hm?
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - More Shoujo timez)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2013-05-21 12:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[The thing about Saft is, She really isn't that smart about things. Hence why she's prone to having so many accidents or super likely to get herself into trouble.]

Oh yeah, that's probably a good idea.

I'm Saft by the way.

[Luckily, it's not far to the nearest table and Miles places her books on one side, taking the seat opposite.]

Miles. [He nods.] Do you have an impression of this place yet? Especially the...ah, interesting rule for "guests"?
whitescalesbigmouth: (Saft - Uh oh)

[personal profile] whitescalesbigmouth 2013-05-21 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure what to make of it to be honest...

[She places the remaining books she has near the ones Miles has places and takes a seat. Cautiously placing her hands onto her lap and staring down at the table.] I heard rumours but...

Is it really true? Are we going to have to keep relying on things like that just to make sure we'll be okay?
bytheguidebook: (happy - smile)

back from hiatus now, sorry for the wait!

[personal profile] bytheguidebook 2013-05-28 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
It's good to keep an open mind.

[He shrugged lightly and took out a small, thin green book and flipped it open, muttering something. The pages fluttered around until they settled of their own accord.]

As far as my observations go, I'd wager there's something to the rule. But frankly I'm more interested in why we're here rather than the whole...contact issue.
