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.] |

"What you say is true enough, but does not change that which my heart desires. Nor does it change the fact that I am needed, and the longer that I tarry here, the more harm may befall my realm in my absence. All the same you are correct in that such places are a wonder, and that the music of water is sweet. The sun, I fear, I am not as well acquainted with these long years as I would be, for all her warmth and beauty. Perhaps I should take the chance now to change that, as long as I am held."
no subject
"But ah, it's not all bad, we're helping this world too, right. And yes, I do think it's best to enjoy your time here. I'm not sure when we can leave but we may as well help and enjoy ourselves while we can, I suppose."
no subject
He sighs, and the sound is slight but still heartfelt.
"Though as I said, your council is wise. I shall endeavor to take your words to heart, Miss...?"
no subject
She offered the elf a curtsy in greeting.
"My name is Alice, your majesty! Alice Liddell. A pleasure to meet you. And thank you! I don't often get called wise!"
feel compelled to say how adorable your Alice is
He inclined his head again in acknowledgement of the curtsey, a little smile still playing about his lips.
"That would be more true were it not cast across the forest. It is only through constant effort that we keep it from deepening in the corner we claim as our own. For, you see, one must always combat the spread of darkness, lest it take hold entire."
Thank you very much! :D <3
But she hadn't been and she knew no better.
"Forests can be terribly dark all on their own..." and Alice was so very scared of the dark. "Couldn't you shine a light on the darkness? Surely there is a light that is strong enough?"
Figurative and metaphorical or actual darkness aside, Alice was rather sure the way to combat the dark was with light.

"They can be," he acknowledged, "but they can be places of beauty and wonder as well. The forest of my home was Greenwood the Great before the coming of the Shadow. It is called Mirkwood now, or by some Taur-e-Ndaedelos, and much of its beauty has been obscured by darkness. I cannot cast a light bright enough to drive it wholly away." He seems a little sad at the admission. "Only one that is bright enough to cast one small net of protection, and of relative safety."
no subject
"Why must you fight alone, sir? If everyone shines light on it, then many lights against one shadow should be more than enough!"
no subject
"This Shadow is very great," he explained, voice quite soft but still with a touch of weariness, "and not so easy to oppose. It takes the strength of all my people in addition to my own to stave off the brunt. If more would join us perhaps there is more that could be done, but we have been left to fend it off as best we can these many years."
no subject
"Are other people not scared of the shadow?"
no subject
"Others are not affected as we are, through power or through distance." There was still something terribly unfair that his people had fought for survival for so many years, and Lothlorien and the realm of Galadriel was so much closer to Dol Guldur than the corner of Mirkwood he had claimed for his own, and yet felt not the affects of its proximity as his kingdom did.

"I'm sorry no one wants to help you, sire. I'm sure you'll be alright, though! You can't give up and your people shan't give uo either!
no subject
He smiled a little, wistfully.
"And, little one, that was why I was concerned. For how am I to fight it when I am here?"

"It would. Still, I would prefer being home, where I could fight it myself. If things do not go so smoothly as that-" and, in his experience, they really never do, "-then I am sure I will be needed. As I was saying before."
Useless. There was nothing he could do. Stop focusing on it.
"Tell me about yourself."
