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.]

[Legolas tilted his head back to soak his hair, shorter than the average elf would let it be cut, and then let himself float on his back. He heard someone entering the water but didn't look, not yet. Whoever they were, they weren't a problem for him until they drew closer.

He just wanted to relax and be away from people, clear his mind. To try to forget this place and the tower and imagine that he's home again. A task seeming impossible with the collar on his neck to remind him.]

Kili didn't know what to say, as he waded a bit closer towards the elf. He looked unperturbed, as the dwarf prince pushed back some wet hair from his face. Was he here to bathe just like Kili?

He made his way forwards and then stopped.]


Greetings, elf. What brings you to this place?

[Legolas sat upright, treading water rather than letting himself float as he looked the young dwarf over. He was vaguely familiar but he couldn't place a name if he'd ever gotten it.]

And greetings to you, Master Dwarf.

[There's some amount of distrust in his eyes but he makes no effort to move closer or away.]

A swim. The waters are cool and refreshing, much like the Nimrodel.

[The elf's words were sound, as Kili lightly treaded water and used his arms to keep himself afloat.]

The waters are clean and refreshing, don't you think?

[He was just engaging in light conversation. He did not trust the elf, but knew he was no threat here. They were just testing the waters, so to speak.]

Although, I do not know how I came to this place.

[As he had said so the elf only nodded and brushed hair from his face. And Kili wasn't alone in being distrustful but he hadn't as good a reasoning as the elven prince.]

I doubt that any do. I've certainly no knowledge of coming to this place.

Are we just brought here by someone then? [Kili was just unsure and slightly worried. He liked being with Fili and this....well, it scared him some to be truthful.]

Nor do I. It's odd, isn't it?

It's entirely possible. It was due to Zo that I was taken from Middle Earth the first time. This isn't a new experience to me.

[Having to cuddle to stay healthy, that was new. Not that Legolas had made any effort to do so just yet. He didn't trust anyone here.]

It is.

[personal profile] favours_thebow 2013-05-24 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Zo? Who is that? [Kili frowned at the strange name as he swam closer to the side a bit.]

Do you know any way out of this world?
