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.] |

[Ember the Blazing - Tales of the Abyss redheads roleswap AU]
[Those unfortunate enough to be standing near the water line are about to get splashed. The boy running into the water, red hair trailing behind him, might be in his late teens physically, but the expression on his face looks more like you'd except more a little kid. He doesn't seem to care about getting his shoes and socks wet, either, although he's at least hiked up both his pant legs to his knees and tied up the flowing tails of his coat.
Realizing that no one else has followed his delighted, impromptu charge into the water, Ember turns around much smaller set of splashes and puts his hands on his hips.]
What are you waiting for? It's not going to bite.
Hey there
[Says the redhead who decided to follow you, Ember.]
sup
Ember's head jerks towards the other redhead, but what the hell, that's not his original.
Clearly, the appropriate reaction is a brat-off.]
And who the hell are you?
[THERE IS ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON WITH MY FACE, AND YOU AIN'T HIM.]
I have an overwhelming desire to color Ember's icons
A brat-off is the best reaction. Let's see who's better at it.]
That's my question! You're the one who looks like me!
[APPARENTLY THERE'S TWO NOW.]
HEH, he's a sassy bitch
[He'd say "I look like myself," except that he looks like his original, obviously. Standard issue replica problem.]
I don't even know you.
[Because definitely not his original and Ember knows there's not any other members of their "family" so - ]
no subject
[Unless his casual dress style is drastically different from his military uniform.]
I'm not stupid.
no subject
[There is no Asch in his universe. Or at least no one named Asch.]
no subject
[And trying to kill him and apparently harrassing him via telepathy or something.]
If you're not him, who are you?
no subject
Ember the Blazing, Oracle Knights Special Ops... Er, previously.
[He sort of quit.]
Have a replica from an entirely different canon~
[Repliku's not afraid of the water, just reluctant to get in it. He could probably swim if he had to, but he's playing it safe, standing just at the edge of the water line, shoes and socks in a pile a safe distance from the water, and his pants rolled up a few inches.]
no subject
[Immediate reaction to strangers: sass.]
But if something's gonna bite me or something, I'd rather have my shoes on.
no subject
[Reaction to sass: Snark.]
no subject
[Unfortunately this one's also a dork.]
no subject
I'll take the pointy shells over having water in my shoes all day.
[He's wading in carefully, just in case there are sharp things hiding under the water.]
no subject
Okay no he mostly bullshits his way through whatever sounds good. #replica logic]
Eh, it's not that humid. My shoes'll dry.
no subject
Okay, he just hasn't resorted to that because he's literally existed for like, two weeks.]Eventually.
[...But how fast does the rest of him dry? Let's find out...or else pay attention, because Repliku is leaning over to scoop some water up to toss at the redhead. Catch!]
no subject
He plops down on the beach instead.]
You never change.
BFFL :'D :'D
It's not my fault I've never gotten to go swimming before.
[He knows Sync hasn't, either, but dragging the boy into the water can wait for another time. For right now, Ember wades his way out of the water with a grumble, dropping down next to Sync and peeling off his shoes and socks, even if it's a little late for that.]
:D
He gives Ember a not-so-subtle look of slight exasperation as the redhead lumbers back onto the shore.]
You should have taken those off first, [he says pointedly.]
Re: :D
[Once shoes and socks are in a pile next to him, Ember leans back in the sand, propping his hands behind his head.]
Doesn't seem like a bad place.
no subject
[Sync remains as he is, legs folded. Part of him wonders if this is what a vacation is like. A nice breeze, warm sand, cool water. But the concept of taking a break is beyond him.
It's strange that he's here, honestly; he followed Ember, but it's not like he has anywhere else to go. That was kind of the point of trying to jump into the planet's core.]
The people here want something from us. [Because that's such a bad thing.]
no subject
[He means that in response to both comments. Ember rolls up onto his side for a minute to look at his friend.]
Everyone wants something. But that doesn't mean it's a bad thing they want, you know?
[Ever the idealist.]
no subject
[He pulls his knees closer, gently resting his head on top of them.]
How can you trust people who aren't like us?
no subject
[He really, genuinely believes that - neither replicas nor originals are either superior or inferior to the other. It's an uphill battle to get anyone else to see it that way, though, even his best friend.]
