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.] |

Then I shall say it as I was given the honor to do so by...? [He will quickly realize that he hasn't learned her name yet. His friendly smile will remain.] Please excuse my manners, miss. It would seem as though I haven't asked for your name nor shown my gratitude for having assisted me.
[He will bow his head.]
Thank you very much for your quick assistance in reaching this peak. My name is Soushi Miketsukami. I faithfully serve to my wonderful master known as Ririchiyo Shirakiin. Have you by any chance seen or heard of her? [Even though he was recently released from his duties as her SS Agent, he will always continue to call himself as Ririchiyo's loyal servant. After all, he still had a debt to repay her with.] And if I am allowed to, may I ask for your name?
no subject
I'm Korra. It's nice to meet you, Soushi. Afraid I don't know any Ririchiyo.
no subject
[Another bow of his head as a way to hide the sudden feeling of sadness and loneliness over the thought of Ririchiyo not having been seen or heard from. Once he raises his head, a smile will return to his lips, albeit a more formal one. It was still too early to make any certainties if his master was or wasn't in this world just yet.]
As expressed beforehand, thank you very much for helping me. I have been desperately trying to reach a high place, but have been unsuccessful in doing so. [That is when he will feel another surge of power go through his body as he falls onto the ground. He could feel himself change yet again. Without warning, his nine tails, ears, and formal japanese clothing will change into a dark suit and tie combo. His hair will change from its splendid pure white color to a more blond color. However, his heterochromia eyes of blue and gold will remain. A more formal smile will appear as he rises to his feet again.] It would seem as my powers are currently unstable at the moment.
[Then he begins to wonder, slight concern appearing on his facial features.]
Have you been experiencing any oddities with your own Avatar-like abilities, Korra-san?
no subject
YOU! YOU JUST CHANGED!!!!!!!!
no subject
Yes. As I explained beforehand, my powers are currently unstable for some unknown reason... [More like he knew the cause of it, but he did not wish to fully believe it. He has not officially held nor shown any sort of interaction with others for the time he has arrived.] Luckily, it is only affecting a few of my own skills like my transformation and teleportation skills. It isn't entirely serious... [Although, he has been wanting to avoid all this to begin with. He didn't wish for everyone to react the way the other girl did. There was no need to startle others due to it.]
no subject
What kind of skills do you have?
no subject
It depends on which set of skills you're most interested to learn of.
[Normally he isn't the type to speak over his abilities, but these were special circumstances. After all, she did speak a little over her own skill, it was his turn to return the favor.]
I have done many different types of odd jobs that required a certain set of skills. Currently, I work as an SS Agent for my master. It is a duty I take great pride in as I get to serve and spend a great deal of time with her. I only serve her in the best way as I possibly can.
[He will close his eyes as he decides to create a list.]
My skills in swordsmanship and close combat make me a difficult opponent to defeat. I use the very knowledge to protect my master from all kinds of harm -- be it human or not. Along with such skills, I have the ability to create a wide range of illusions. Some of which are not properly working at the moment... [Otherwise he would have transformed into the girl in front of him or made copies of himself.] My abilities are mainly connected to that of the youkai I represent. As I have spoken to you beforehand, I have not met many that hold the same skills as you do. To be able to control more than one type of power is quite impressive.

[He will return his full attention back to Korra. There is some concern on his facial features.]
How about you? Have you been having any type of difficulty controlling any of your own abilities?
no subject
How long's it been since you touched someone? That might have something to do with it.
no subject
I'm glad to hear it. I would not wish this situation on anyone else with powerful abilities. It would not be wise to lose control of our abilities when there are those who do hold any type of special skills... [And he meant every word.
His attention will return to Korra as she asked her own questions. Surprise will be briefly seen on his facial features before he began to think of a response.]
Touched someone? [Give him a few moments to remember the words of the natives from the Welcome Center. That's right. They did explain over having to maintain physical contact with others to survive, was all he could ponder to himself.] ...then their explanation over our survival is accurate? [But, somehow, he did not feel comfortable in having to do any sort of physical activity with others. At least, it would feel odd to be affectionate to anyone, but his master.] When I first arrived to this world, someone was kind enough to hold my hand and help me up to my feet. I felt...almost like this when I first arrived...
[And his response to her question?] ...it has been a week, at most, since I last touched another soul.

Thank you very much... [Warily reaching for her own hand, Soushi could not help begin to wonder of the various ways to show his gratitude towards her. She has been great help to him, after all.] You are not only wise and strong, but very kind as well. I am in your debt. If there is any way I can be of help to you, then please do let me know.
