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.] |

kk :)
I think anything an elf would call refreshing would probably freeze me solid! I'll just stay right here and watch you have your fun, I think.
no subject
Are you sure, Pippin?
[Swimming closer to the shore and looking at the hobbit curiously. And then suddenly splashing him before swimming back.]
no subject
Hey! Warn a fellow, next time!
[He doesn't sound all that upset, Legolas. Pippin is, after all, a playful sort. But to get him back he'd have to get all the way in....]
no subject
Oh, but what fun would be had in that?
[There's always an inner tube or a pool noodle, Pip! Not that Legolas knew what those were.]
no subject
You're going to splash me and then run away, is that it? That's not very fair!
[He starts stripping off his waistcoat, shirt, and suspenders-- the jacket already came off, since it's pretty warm out here-- with the intent to give chase.]
no subject
Run away? This is a tactical retreat, little one!
[Treading water halfway out, the elf watches Pippin in amusement and waits.]
no subject
[Yeah, he totally made that up. And doesn't believe it. But he does babble a while, while he tosses the last of his clothing-- except his trousers, of course; he does have some modesty!-- aside.]
Since you know I've still got to get undressed, and get in the water, and not drown-- or freeze! So retreating now means you're just taking advantage.
[So there. He toes the water again, only a little hesitant of actually getting in.]
no subject
[Legolas should know. Not just from Middle Earth either.]
Come now, Pippin! I promise I'll not let you drown! Freezing is another matter entirely though, I fear.
no subject
Oohoohoo, it is colder further out!
[Getting Legolas back for the splash seems to have momentarily taken backseat to getting used to the water. Key word there may be "seems".]
no subject
[Legolas practically invented that trick and, with a grin, he starts to swim towards the hobbit only to suddenly disappear under the water as if he'd been pulled down.]
no subject
[Uh oh. Pippin doesn't like the way this is going. He looks around quickly for some sort of protection from sudden-dunking-syndrome, grabs the nearest inner tube, and holds on tight.]
no subject
no subject
Shallows for someone only three and a half feet high is pretty shallow indeed.
Then he shakes his fist at Legolas, though he's grinning, too.]
That wasn't making sure I didn't drown, you elf!
no subject
[Legolas laughs, watching Pippin from where he was treading water. Just what was the hobbit up to now? Surely he hadn't given up that easily, he knew that hobbits could be quite brave and clever.]
And I'd have not let you.
[Watching him carefully.]
no subject
He just smiles benignly. Innocently, even.]
Well, you did get me into the water, at least! It is cold! But not so bad once you're actually all wet, I suppose.
no subject
[Slowly coming closer to the shallow end. Legolas is no fool, he knows that something must be up but there's no fun to be had in hiding in the deep end.]
no subject
[Hey, he'd almost gone under entirely, mister nit-picking elfy-pants! Still, as soon as Legolas is in range, he leaps into action. And by leaping, one really means leaping: he makes his best attempt to tackle Legolas and cling like a little hobbit-y burr.
The water hampers his attempt a little.]
no subject
[Legolas laughs and, for a moment, his entire body tenses as if expecting an attack but he forces himself to relax and catches Pipping rather than ducking out of the way. The force of Pippin leaping at him though makes him stumble back into the deeper end again.]
no subject
Oh, well, I guess I'm not big enough to tackle you into the water! I was trying, though.
no subject
[Pippin. Pippin, guess what? He's heading back deeper into the water to dip you into it. And since you've got quite a grip on him that he'd probably have trouble prying you off, both seem to be about to go for a dip.]
