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.]

Galadriel | Lord of the Rings | Prompt 2

[The city was far too crowded and crammed for Galadriel's liking, but... the river offered some respite. At the very least it was running water, offering a hint of life. It wasn't often that she found herself at a loss as to what was truly going on, what was expected of her, but this city was most certainly among those rare times.

She missed her woods dearly, but sought to keep that longing hidden behind a guise of calm serenity. What more could one expect? What more could one ask?

A quiet, faintly knowing smile crossed her lips as she over-looked the waters, hands loose at her sides as she stood, ever patient. Always watching and listening to see what more she might learn.]

[Alice wasn't quite sure the word "beautiful" was enough to describe the woman standing at the edge of the water. She could combine several words, of course, made up words could perhaps describe the clearly fictional creature in front of her. For surely her imagination had decided to create the prettiest person possible and then show it to her. Which was such a strange thing to do for her imagination, although not entirely impossible under the circumstance.

Alice neared the woman, only to discover that she was not a woman. Which, Alice supposed, also made sense that the prettiest woman she had ever seen after her mother (for Alice was so very fond of her mother) was not a woman, or at least, not a human one. So she watched her, trying to understand her without disturbing her. She took a step forward, a twig snapping under her foot and she looked down, wondering if the elf woman heard it too.

[No mortal woman, for sure. The quiet footsteps approaching caught her attention, but Galadriel did not glance over just yet. There were many comings and goings here. Then a twig snapped and she slowly turned, not a motion wasted.

Her smile widened, just a little, as she saw the young human girl. Kind hearted. Extremely curious, as children tended to be. Honest. In short, someone she had absolutely no problem with meeting and getting to know. So she stretched out a hand, leaning forward a little.]


Would you come join me?
madcuriosity: (I'm paying attention)

[Alice was sure she jumped straight out of skin when the woman seemed to glide in her turn and then spoke. She blushed furiously, caught in her staring at the elf but she as eager. This elf was just... she as so beautiful, Alice hesitated only a breath before quickly coming forward to take the elf's hand. Alice wondered if she was glowing now too.]

You simply can't be real. [She said aloud, though she didn't mean to be rude.] But I don't think my imagination could make someone as pretty as you... [She was truly in awe. She looked down at their hands and gave the elf's a gentle squeeze, not enough to hurt, but rather to make sure she wasn't imagining the whole thing. How strange she would look, talking aloud and holding no one's hand at all.

But then, if people could see what her imagination showed her, they wouldn't think her that strange, she was sure.]
ladyofthewood: (Joyous occasions)

[personal profile] ladyofthewood 2013-05-29 05:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Can't be real? Galadriel was hard pressed not to laugh, but her smile should give her thought across. And the girl's obvious awe was precious. She returned the gentle squeeze, showing that no, she wasn't a figment of one's imagination.]

You need not fear speaking to nothing but air. You are far from alone.
madcuriosity: (Caught by surprise)

[personal profile] madcuriosity 2013-05-29 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Alice couldn't help but blush as the elf spoke and smiled and just existed. That really seemed like it shouldn't be the case but there it was.]

Oh ah... w-what is your name, Miss Elf?

[Po was focused on the people around him, on avoiding bumping into anyone, that he didn't perceive anything that he might trip over. Which only wounded his pride even more than it had been over the past couple days as he tripped over a stone and tumbled straight into the woman.

It was in a panic that he tried to keep her from falling into the waters of the river, the world around him spinning as he tried and failed to get his Grace to show him what was around them.]
ladyofthewood: (What will be)

[personal profile] ladyofthewood 2013-05-29 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[She had heard the stumbling steps but hadn't, for once, expected the owner of those steps to tumble into her. Amazing, if disturbing to add to all that she did see around. She did not know what she felt she should of this place.

And so she went into the river, just a breath escaping to show her surprise. Galadriel landed with a splash, but fortunately close enough to shore as to avoid being swept away. That alone allowed her to draw what dignity around her she could as she stood, gaze searching for the male whom had cast her accidentally into the waters.]

[Po was both horrified and confused. More horrified really, realizing that he'd drawn her into the water with him. Although he can't as easily get back to shore, the moving water confusing him and making his head hurt as he tried to find solid ground to pull himself to.

The young man practically dragged himself to shore not long after, shivering and soaked through. Lifting his eyes, mismatched lights of silver and gold, and trying to find her but they seem to focus on her for only a moment before falling back to the ground.]


I am terribly sorry.
