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.]

Death the Kid | Soul Eater | Option 2

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-14 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Kid had grown up in the middle of a desert in Nevada. He knew how to swim, of course, but heat didn't bother him much as a general rule. It wasn't like he needed to jump into a pool or whatever to cool off. Nor did he get sunburned despite his pale skin. Being a reaper rocked.

So he was sitting on the "beach" with a book, reading.
inthe_keyofcool: (neutral - eyebrow quirk)

Fancy meeting you here

[personal profile] inthe_keyofcool 2013-05-15 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oi, Kid. You can't just sit around and read all day." Soul huffed in annoyance. Really, Kid? You're going to spend time outdoors reading?
ocd_reaper: (Smirking and talking)

Well, hello there. X3

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-16 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Kid looked up from his book, somewhat amused. "I wasn't aware that was a rule."

He glanced about Soul, checking over the Weapon's skin for any sunburn. Soul was a human, after all, and humans got sunburned.
inthe_keyofcool: (neutral - eyebrow raise)

Fancy being late to reply >.>;;;;

[personal profile] inthe_keyofcool 2013-05-20 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course it's a rule," Soul arched an eyebrow while giving Kid a look. He might be pale, but even Soul liked to get outside, whether for a game of basketball or just hanging out.

"We're at the beach and you're going to sit here and read? You're seriously as bad as Maka."
ocd_reaper: (Annoyed)

'Tis okay!

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-21 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"I am not," Kid scoffed. "I just want to finish this book is all. It's a good one. Then I'll go for a dip."
inthe_keyofcool: (anger - urgh)

[personal profile] inthe_keyofcool 2013-05-23 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Soul flopped down next to Kid and sighs dramatically. Your party pooping ways are sucking the fun out of the beach, man.
ocd_reaper: (Reading while walking)

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-23 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
Kid turned back to his book, turning a page. Silence passed for several minutes.

"...You don't have to sit around and wait on me, Soul."
inthe_keyofcool: (neutral - deniaaaal)

[personal profile] inthe_keyofcool 2013-05-28 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure I do. Once you're done with that stupid book, you have to have someone to hang out with."

Soul would just chalk it up to the whole Weapon and Meister dynamic, but truth be told he was glad he wasn't alone in this weird city. He'd much rather wait around with Kid than wander off right now.
ocd_reaper: (Huh?)

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-30 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Kid looked over at Soul. "But wouldn't you rather be in the water? I don't feel heat like you do, but it must be hot for you."

It was definitely warm, even close to being hot by the river's shoreline. Kid stood out, being fully clothed in his prim black suit. Did he lack bathing trunks? Tohru wasn't sure, but even though he looked comfortable, she was convinced that he was simply hiding it well. Rather than risk rudeness by asking him if he was hot, she decided it would be more helpful if she got him something cold to drink. More efficient too!

"Please excuse the intrusion!" she beamed, once she'd returned from the snack shack with two cold glasses of lemonade. "I'll wait until you're finished with the chapter?"
ocd_reaper: (Quietly Pleased)

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Kid looked up at her, surprised. He stuck a bookmark into his page before reaching out to take one of the glasses. "Thank you, but that really wasn't necessary, Miss...?"
dwelled_in_a_tent: (It's a sekkrit)

[personal profile] dwelled_in_a_tent 2013-05-23 11:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Tohru Honda, if you please." She beamed, waiting until he'd taken the glass before bowing. The last thing she wanted to do was spill their drinks and make a bad first impression.

"You looked like you were probably hot with all of that black." She hoped she wasn't presuming too much. "I suppose if you come from a warm place, this kind of heat would be comforting, though!"
ocd_reaper: (Smile)

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-23 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"All right then, Miss Honda. I'm Death the Kid though most people just call me 'Kid'."

He smiled, amused. "I was raised in the middle of the desert in Nevada. By comparison, this place is downright cool. In any case, it takes a lot of heat to bother me."
dwelled_in_a_tent: ('_')

[personal profile] dwelled_in_a_tent 2013-05-30 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm very pleased to meet you, Kid-san!"

He was going to get a formality no matter what, even if his name did sound a little ominous. But what was in a name? Roses still smell great even if you call them daisies! Or...well...maybe the saying went a little differently than that. Tohru settled on her knees beside him, holding her soda in both hands.

"Does that mean you get cold more easily as a result? Or are you weather-resistant to all of the extremes?" she asked, curious about the strange young man.
ocd_reaper: (Pleased)

[personal profile] ocd_reaper 2013-05-30 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Pleased to meet you as well," Kid told her.

It seemed that she was going to be formal. That was fine. He could do that. He'd spent most of his life without being too familiar with humans after all.

"Only extreme temperatures bother me. I'm made of sterner stuff than humans."
