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.] |

/beats you with a sledgehammer! -- er, cozies up to
You really do remember everything don't you? No, they haven't changed.
/swallows your sledgehammer without chewing!!
What luck it is. I know a tea shop that sells little tangerine cakes.
no subject
And orange tea?
[ he's practically panting like a dog in anticipation. You have said the magic words, oh wise and wonderful Vincent! Just lead the way /o/ ]
no subject
. . .
make that his inherent grace. ]
Hmmmm, I hope you haven't been living on these.
no subject
Ah, you may have caught me. You know I can't hardly resist when I see one. Perhaps if you stay, you can see to my health.
[ and oh, wouldn't that be fun? ]
no subject
sweetly, sweeter, sweetest - ]
Surely you won't say that you aren't old enough to look after yourself. After all this time!
no subject
You are sooooooooo not the cute kid I remember. You used to call me Master.
no subject
That was my mistake! I thought you were, you see.
no subject
It is a little silly isn't it? You've turned into a fine man, Vincent. I should live up to your good example.
[ he blinked ] Ah! Is this the shop? [ it certainly does look like a tea and cake shop. So... decadent. ]
no subject
looking slightly more pleased, vincent lets him go as jack skids towards the shop. check and mate for now. (he isn't subtle, of course.) (he was never subtle.) ]
Haha, that's it! Have you already eaten today?
no subject
[ he's just so carefree as he stares into the shop window, marveling at the display. ]
Did you eat? If you're hungry, the tea can wait. [ but he still wants his cake. ]
no subject
[ he pulls the door open, flourishes a lazy gesture. ]
Shall we, then?
no subject
By all means, but only after you. It wouldn't be proper if I went first.
[ he's just a lowly Vessalius after all. He's barely even a member of the peerage. ]
no subject
no subject
[ but Jack glides into the shop (with a careful eye not to tense up his back) and politely asked for a table for two from the maid behind the counter. A little light flattery always improved the service. ]
no subject
[ but he goes along with it, takes his seat and flicks the menu up, because Vincent is productive. ]
no subject
Don't be silly, Vincent. What use is time in a place like here when we can be pulled from any time or any when? It's best to just enjoy what time we have, wouldn't you agree?
[ He flicks a piece of dust away from his menu before gently lifting the cover, his eyes roaming over the menu just as easily as he had roamed the shop. Gently, lightly, with hardly a care or thought in the world. ]
