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.] |

I think that one is a little too big! Well, it would work for a spear I suppose, but I haven't gotten to start learning that weapon yet. Just swords!
[He points at the sand in front of them.]
Here, set it down here. I am sure we can find some branches that will work for swords. Do you even know what size you should have for a sword?
no subject
Aren't weapons better the bigger they are?
no subject
Not always. Some weapons are better big, but we are just learning! Father says that we need well balanced weapons of our size so we learn the basics right. Without good basics, we will never master the weapon!
no subject
Can't we skip the basics? Teach me some tricks.
no subject
I can't. I don't know any tricks yet. I told you, I just started learning. Besides, basics are important! You can't do good tricks without them.
[His expression suddenly brightens as a thought crosses his mind.]
Quick! Lets go through the basics and then maybe together we can figure out how to do some tricks! I am sure you have watched people fight before.
no subject
Yes, I've seen them.
[With some effort, he snaps the sapling in half over his knee.]
Show me, show me!
no subject
Well, this is still a little big for me but it will do.
[He strips some of the small leaves and twigs off his.]
Clean it up a little like I just did and then start by holding it like this.
[Carefully, he places his hands on the 'hilt' of the 'sword' and waits for the other boy to do as he has.]
no subject
Okay I cleaned it. What now?
no subject
[He angles the 'sword' slightly and swings across his body.]
You have to be careful not to swing too hard. It can unbalance you and that's bad!
no subject
[However, despite his assertion, he wings too hard while imitating his friend and ends up falling on his face.]
no subject
[Diarmuid sets his stick down and moves to kneel next to his friend.]
That is what I meant! You have to watch how hard you swing!
no subject
[He rubs at his nose.]
I'm fine. I've fallen down even worse before.
no subject
I'm glad. Come on, lets try that again. Just don't swing so hard this time. Balance is important as you just saw!
no subject
[He swings again. This time, the branch flies out of his hands because he didn't grip it strongly enough.]
no subject
[Diarmuid ducks the flying stick and then gives his friend an odd look.]
Why did you throw it? What kind of trick is that? Someone could get hurt!
no subject
I didn't throw it, stupid! It slipped!
no subject
[Diarmuid huffs and then walks over to retrieve the stick. By the time he comes back, he's smiling again. Anger never seems to stick around long with him.
He holds the stick out to the other boy.]
Hold it tighter this time! But not too tight! Do you want me to show you?
no subject
[Cu Chulainn's anger had also faded.]
no subject
Hold it like this and then try putting this amount of pressure on the handle, okay?
[He squeezes the other boy's hands for a moment and then steps to the side.]
Do you think you got it? Or do you want me to show you again?
no subject
[Gripping the branch with the same amount of force that Diarmuid had used, he swings it. This time, he neither falls nor lets it slip.]
no subject
That's it! That's good! Now you can do another basic swing by doing the same thing just in the opposite direction! Oh, let me get mine and I will show you!
[He scrambles over to pick his 'sword' back up and demonstrates the swing.]
Do it just like that! Then you will know two basic swings!
no subject
no subject
[He crouches by the other boy and pats him on the shoulder.]
You are good at this!
no subject
Really? Well, I am a great hero.
no subject
You are! You are! I am sad I don't know anything else to teach you. I just started learning the other week! Do you think we can try to figure out some tricks now?
