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.] |

Katsa can feel her rage begin to ebb away, aided by the rush that came with knocking him to the ground, and she breathes in carefully, slowly. If he’s agreed with her in some small measure then she should at least attempt not to yell at him again, not for a while, anyway.
Oh… but why hadn’t Po simply told her? He said he'd trusted her. Easily done, she supposes, with a talent like his.] And you have none. [Her voice is less accusing, but only just.] I can't know what you've seen in my mind, or what you've felt.
no subject
I've seen that you like my eyes.
[He cracks a smirk but it's gone as quickly as it came. It occurs to him what he had done before.]
I've always been careless about hiding my Grace from you. So... I can tell you every time I hear one of your thoughts or whenever I sense one of your feelings in regards to me. If that would make it easier on you.
[He hates having to start over. He and Katsa had come so far and now it was all gone.]
check-mate ??
It would be easier if you extended me the same advantage. [She wants the sense of equality back, even if it had been false before.] If you're to know my thoughts and feelings then I should know yours, as well.
check-mate indeed
He calms down quickly though.]
That seems fair enough. Shall I start now.
po plz
[She is equal parts incredulous and curious. Not many have had the courage to express their opinions of her in her presence.]
katsa plz :|
There is but where to start?
[Smallest of pauses and then:]
We'll start with you. You're angry at me, but you're calming down. You wonder if I'm afraid of you, which I'm not. You think me a bit arrogant and your trust in me feels like it's very fragile.
[And he pauses again, taking a breath to steady himself. Sweet Lienid, it's hard doing this right now.]
As for myself, I'm dizzy and nauseous, incredibly tired. I'm glad that you haven't your horse with you, the poor beast needs a good long break. I'm wondering how my grandfather is doing and if my cousin, Bitterblue, is safe. I'm also wondering how we're going to deal with King Leck and I think I've reopened one of my wounds.
