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.]

I'm not sneaking up on anything.

You're the sneaky one. Snuck up on me.

[No, he didn't.]

[not from over here still, no.

though he could try. He just grins for the moment, fingers crunching up slightly in the sand.]


That's me all over. Gotta keep these skills sharp one way or another. Though somehow they don't seem to have picked up your name.

[Because that would go over fabulously.]

Zatanna.

And funny enough, I'm pretty sure I never managed to get yours either.

[it's a test! with really terrible consequences.]

Huh. Sounds good. It mean anything?

Davesprite. Sup. [picking up a hand to wave]

Not that I know of. I think it's a spin off the name of the original founder of Dianism, but that's about as much as I've ever gotten out of Dad.

[A shrug. At least name confusion wasn't much of a thing with her. Not many other Zatannas out there to get mixed up with.]

...Dave Sprite, huh? Like the drink?

[personal profile] dontthesunlookgoodtoday 2013-06-12 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Dianism, huh? There many practitioners, or is is just your family?

[he life his head.] Something like that, but with a better flow.
Pick me up, I'll help you work out where to go.

[…

…that sounded better in his head.]

It's a feminist sect of Wiccan, so I can say for certain my dad never practice. Mom might've. I'm not sure. And I...dabble.

[She raised an eyebrow at the...um..."poem"?]

Say that again?

[personal profile] dontthesunlookgoodtoday 2013-06-15 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ladies' only section, huh?

[Actually, that… sort of makes sense. He thinks he remembers something…

…okay no hold that thought]


It's just to say, that ain't quite the way it is
Bottling up the carbon may give a real fizz
But if you're looking for that real satisfaction
To fill that beaker with more than just a caption
Seek out the source that gets some constant refilling
Sitting right there on support billing.

[Torn between amusement and wtf?]

If that's your way of serenading a girl, I gotta say...

Don't quit your day job.

[not the first time that's happened.]

Shit. Now what'm I going to tell the folks back home, they were counting on the money for the song.

[he flops back dramatically, which he is absolutely going to regret later when he's trying to get the sand out.]
