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.] |

I'm fine. Was this your doing?
no subject
Not at all. I'm here the same way as you are. A lot of people are, it seems.
no subject
She can't believe him. Whilst she doubts this is his work - it doesn't exactly fit NERV's style - she just can't trust a word he says. Everything that comes out of his mouth is worthless. She turns her back.]
Don't bother me. I won't have anything to do with you.
no subject
[For both Shinjis. Kaworu has already encountered that problem, and finds Asuka's presence here precarious because of that.]
Our goals weren't very different. We just sought them through different means. Or is it that I'm scaring you?
no subject
And as for them being alike...]
No. We aren't alike in any way. I have no interest in a Fourth Impact. I will not serve NERV. 'Shinji-kun's sake? Now he's here, he's already run away. Do whatever you like.
no subject
I had anticipated a lot, but Gendo anticipated more, and I lost my grasp on the situation. [If he ever had it at all.] My hope was victory for the Lilin. That's still my hope. At the end, at the very end, he won't fail you. Shinji-kun will make the right choice.
I hope that you find peace during your stay here.
[This is... unfortunate. Asuka embodies the heart of the Lilin's anger, and Kaworu isn't experienced enough to temper it. He toes at the riverbank, turns to the left, and runs a hand through his hair.]
It may take a while, [he says,] but even you'll have that chance. You should take it, when it comes to you.
no subject
Tried to outplay Gendo Ikari, huh? What even happened?
no subject
[Hands in pockets. Eyes toward the horizon. Kaworu is exasperated with his own failure.] At Lilith's corpse... The Spears were manipulated. His foresight is perplexing. Perhaps that's what they call 'intuition.' Captain Katsuragi played into his hand as well, no matter how noble WILLE's intentions were.
no subject
We stopped Fourth Impact like we should have stopped the Third. The Lilin are still hanging on even at the end. If you're asking us to apologise, that won't be happening.
[it doesn't exactly take a genius to predict if a Fourth Impact occured, they'd be trying to crash the party.]
Were you really trying to change the world?
no subject
[The other Angels might, but they've never curried Kaworu's favor like the Lilin have.]
It isn't a lie; I won't lie. I was trying to change it. Shinji-kun was trying to change it. He'll deserve his redemption, if he earns it, and I believe he will. What happened was ultimately my fault.
no subject
no subject
[Firm. Fact. It's just... taking longer to happen than Kaworu would have liked.]
no subject
That doesn't answer why him.
no subject
There's a future that you all need. He's why I realized that. And then I thought, 'I'll help him achieve the world he needs, and the world that the Lilin need.'
no subject
[there's a small part of her that finds that both obvious and morbidly hilarious - what is it with NERV clones and falling for Ikaris - but in the end, she can't exactly fault him for it. Hell, at least as explanations go, it's a relatable one.]
I can understand, I guess. [On a rational level, if no longer an emotional one. What a time to start feeling old...]
no subject
He's not ready to rot. Give him time. He should spend this while away from Eva learning about himself and other people.
[And what better way to learn about yourself than to meet yourself face to face..........]
Gendo is formidable, but I think his son will overcome him.
no subject
[she sighs, watching out across the water.]
I can't share your compassion, and I can't share your forgiveness. Third Impact isn't something one person can forgive. But if you want to try saving him, I won't get in your way.
no subject
You have a tenacious soul, Second Girl. As expected. I won't squander this opportunity.
Well, I hope this place treats you kindly. The river seems fun, and there are other things, too. We'll come across each other, I'm sure.
no subject
You too, I guess. [Wierdo. Harmless, but a wierdo.]
no subject
no subject
Right, sure.
