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.] |

He crawls off of his towel and pulls it up and away from the sand so he can dig however he likes. Although Shinji looks up at him at bit expectantly, not realizing how clearly he intends to watch him do this.]
no subject
Thanks. I promise I won't be long, but I really want to see this rock.
[He kneels in front of the rock site and starts digging with his hands. It's not too far down, he doesn't need a shovel.]
You're just here to tan?
[Billy doesn't know if small talk is welcome, but it's worth a try.]
no subject
[as he digs, Shinji looks down and begins watching his hands.]
...Do you collect rocks?
no subject
[He smiles up at Shinji as he works, trying to encourage a little conversation. The boy looked so worried.]
Don't worry, I'll be out of the way soon.
no subject
...It's fine. [he glances at him, and then back to his hands.] What's the project?
no subject
[He sighs softly, gazing at his hands.]
Being this dependent on physical contact scares me.
no subject
Yeah... it's so weird, to make us do that. [something he said resonates.] It... It scares you, though?
no subject
I'm sure you're all perfectly nice people, but...we don't have exact parameters. I'm trying to find out what I need through trial and error, but a vague command to touch people every day doesn't sit well with me.
It's...awkward and forced, isn't it? And who knows what kind of effect that will have on our relationships.
