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 was speaking more metaphorically. Of Heaven."

More, but not wholly. Talk Draven does, mainly of promises broken and how much of a dick everyone is (with a notably softer hate directed at women) and how he'll see humanity worth more than the stage of war. Draven's pace fluctuates far less than his volume, and from time to time he looks at Davesprite, too, wonders just which one's real.

He's quiet when they reach the hospital. He's been quiet for a while, reflecting on how much he wouldn't have done if he hadn't felt so much. But aid's been given, and Draven never neglects it. Hand at the door, he looks at Davesprite.

"I'll go on. Key's yours while I'm here - put it in the eighth floor's cracked pillar when you're through."

The apartment key's shoved at him and Draven's through the door. It's true that each apartment has the basics - what's an ideal is everything else staying where it's intended to be. There are plenty of things that, by all accounts but one, shouldn't be in Draven's apartment. Part of the fun of being in a new place - shaking it up.


(OOC: And that can be it unless you want to wrap up. Thanks!)

Davesprite raises his hand to take the key, surprised- he wouldn't have thought of it himself- and nods. "Sure. Guess I'll be seeing you around sometime, then." (Because what isn't interesting about someone like him, really.)

He is going to poke around Draven's apartment a bit, just to see how it differs, and also to make a few small adjustments- nothing too big, just to say that he was there. Other than that, everything's as he's asked, the key in the pillar whenever Draven gets back.

[[ooc: It's been cool! Thank you, too.]]
