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.]

[Sorry, Zee, but you'll have to work on your tan another time, as a certain redheaded speedster is creeping up behind you with a bucket full of water.

[...Except Wally and stealth never really go together, so she'll probably be able to hear him coming by the sound of his muffled laughter as he attempts to sneak up on her.

[Oh.]

[Oh.]

[She hears you all right, Mr. West. And you know darn well there will be blood if even so much as a drop inside that bucket makes it onto her freshly-lotioned skin (there was no guarantee this stuff was waterproof). Something that should have been obvious enough already to him...but just in case, a few feet before he makes it too her, she abruptly turns around and slides her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose.]


Don't even think about it.

Throw that on me, and I throw you.

[Man, he can't wait to see Zatanna's reaction when he splashes her! Just a few more steps and...wait! Is she turning around?!

Yep. She turned around.

Crud. He's been busted.
]

[He straightens up from his semi-crouched position now that his cover has been blown, and feigns a look of innocence.]

What? You thought I was going to dump this on you?

[He lets out a laugh as if that couldn't be further from the truth.]

No. I just... [His eyes dart from her face to the bucket and back again, before he holds the bucket out in front of him for her to take with the sweetest of smiles on his face.] thought you might want something to drink.

['Cause people drink water out of buckets all the time, right?]

[If she ever needs a quick alibi, she's definitely not coming to you.]

Uh-huh. Sure, Wally.

What, no mini umbrella?

[Quick alibis are what Robins are for, anyway.]

Man, I knew I was forgetting something!

[He sets the bucket on the ground with a laugh since his attack has been delayed for the moment, and then peers out at the river, trying to decide whether he's actually going to go for a swim or not.]

So how long have you been out here?

[She follows his gaze, less suspicious and more curious as to what he was looking at. The water was crystal clear in the bright sunlight. Welcoming, even.]

Well, let's see... [A light pull at the strap of her swimsuit top, gauging the difference in color between previously concealed and exposed skin.]...maybe an hour? Maybe a little less.

You?

About ten minutes or so. I heard some people talking about it earlier and thought I'd check it out for myself.

[And the river really does look inviting, so he slips his feet out of the sandals he was wearing, slyly positioning himself so that the bucket is behind him out of her sight in the process.]

Have you gone for a swim yet?
backwordscompatible: (Considering)

[personal profile] backwordscompatible 2013-05-23 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Out of sight, out of mind. Sort of. One could never fully let her guard down in situations like these, but she did relax a bit the longer the conversation went on.]

I might consider doing a few laps in a bit. Why?
