Test Drive Meme!

[rekindlemods]

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.]

[Today had been exciting and yet also a bit exhausting, not that Toul feels particularly tired just yet. She hasn't gotten used to the strange way time works in this place, so it's late and she's still wide awake. She sees the girl sitting on the chair and worries a little that it might hurt her back to sleep in a such a place. Your own bed is always more comfortable.

She goes up to the girl and reaches out to nudge her shoulder softly.]

Ah--excuse me? I am truly sorry for bothering you but this can't be all that comfortable, can it?

[sleepingstar]

[Unfortunately for Toul, Pai is impossible to wake up when she's in the middle of making her payment. She'll wake up soon, once her payment is complete, but for right now, Toul's gentle nudge and polite words have no effect.]

[bendthekey]

[The fact that she doesn't wake up when she nudges her worries Toul a little. She shakes her shoulder a bit more forcefully and still nothing. What if she's unconscious and not just sleeping? What is something is wrong with her and she needs help? Toul doesn't know anything about her, but the fact she won't wake up makes her wonder if she should try to find the nearest healer as soon as possible.

She reaches out to check her pulse and then her breathing to see if it's obstructed.]

Oh, miss, do please wake up!

[sleepingstar]

[Pai has just finished paying her price and is ready to wake up when she feels a hand at her throat. Her own hand flashes out instinctively to grab it. The skin of her hand will feel unusually warm against Toul's, as Pai is ready to use her ability to attack if it proves necessary.

Toul is fortunate that, ruthless as the young girl is, she's never been of the "kill first, assess the threat later" persuasion.]

[bendthekey]

[Toul is surprised and jerks back a bit. The hand is rather warm, but she's met reptile types who have rather cold hands, so she tries not to make as big a deal of it despite the fact it really isn't pleasant.] Oh goodness, you are all right. [There's a sigh of relief.]

Miss, sleeping in a chair is very bad for your back, you know. Are you all right?

[sleepingstar]

[After a quick assessment, Pai lets go of Toul's wrist and smiles sweetly.]

I'm fine, thank you. I was just a little more tired than I expected.
