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.]

[Kratos glances down at the cat. He's not an animal person, or so he says. It's been a long time since he had any kind of animal companionship, so he's a little conflicted about the stray. He holds his hand out, hesitates, and then keeps it there for the cat to sniff.

To be honest, the only kind of pet he's ever had was an immortal, digivolving lifeform that happened to look something like a gigantic dog while it journeyed with him. That's why he's never bothered to befriend a real animal; he's out of touch with most animals like he is with people, being a four-thousand-year-old angel and all.

He sighs and rests his elbows on his knees.]

[Yoruichi peers at the hand...what, does Kratos mistake cats for dogs? Though Yorucihi has no interest in sniffing, the cat makes a show of it anyway before rubbing up against the hand. There, see? Physical contact isn't really so bad. Yoruichi purrs loudly, winding back and forth against the tip of Kratos's fingers.]

[... Yeah, okay, that doesn't feel too terrible. The problem is that Kratos is a fairly private person and he's expected to just buddy up and cuddle with whoever. It's not something he enjoys thinking about.

But there is something very disarming about the smooth fur beneath his fingertips, and it isn't long before he turns to petting the cat from ears to tail.]

[If he only knew that he was petting someone just about as old as he is...]

[Nonetheless, he's making good progress, and Yoruichi takes pride in that. The contact is mutually pleasant, and a purr rumbles in that little throat before long. He's good at this, not too rough and not too light. Yoruichi's eyes close, tipping into the contact wherever it's offered.]

Mrow.

[There's a tiny lift of his lip as he tilts his hand, scritching the cat beneath his chin. the cat's body is a male, isn't it? fuck I don't know this canon I stopped reading after the big soft guy lost his parrot buddy in the early volumes

And then he coughs into his other arm. Jeez, Kratos.]


... Ugh.

[Being sick is definitely not something he planned on. He's pretty sure the last time he had any kind of head cold, it was in a town that doesn't even exist anymore.]

[Probably a female body but it's not like he's going to flip her over to check amirite?]

Mrow.

[Yoruichi regards him shrewdly. It would be preferrable if he didn't collapse, as that would mean she'd have to drag him off somewhere for cuddle-healing. She doubts he'll react well to that. But the reaction itself might be entertaining~]

[But since he's occupied with coughing, Yoruichi takes the initiative to rub up against his leg to keep those cuddles coming.]
