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.] |

Lol no worries, been there done that
You should come in, the water's great! And you can drop the ma'am.
<3
I don't know how to swim ma- er, sorry. What should I call you?
no subject
no subject
Dog paddle? I've never tried...
[Mani dips her toes in the water.]
Should I, just do the same as you and 'Canon ball?'
no subject
You could! I won't let you drown.
no subject
Okay!
[Mani didn't bother standing upright again, ran away from the edge of the water on all fours and once she thought she was far enough away she lowered her font end down more tail wagging in the air. Then her fur rippled and for just a moment all of her save for the collar and eyes vanished from view. Then she was running forward and throwing herself into the water.
After a second or two she resurfaces coughing and spluttering. She's having a little trouble keeping her head above water but she's doing remarkably well for her first time in a large body of water.]
That was fun!
no subject
See? You're doing great!
no subject
But I forgot to shout the warning!
[Oops the fox sunk further as she spoke and she spluttered a little on a mouthfull of water before she recovered.]
I should to it again, and do it right.
[Yes she totally wants to do it again because she did it wrong, not because she thought it was fun.]
no subject
She chuckles. ]
Hey, be my guest. Practice makes perfect.
no subject
[Mani literally doggy paddles to the side of the river, pulls her self out, shakes and runs far enough for a good run up before charging back to the river.]
Cannon ball!
[And again she lands with a huge splash, coughing and laughing when she resurfaces.]
Do people do this a lot?
no subject
Only the really cool people.
no subject
[Because this fox is quickly growing addicted to it.]
no subject
Well you can always splash people. [ She demonstrates in Mani's direction. ]
no subject
Steph! Stop!
[ But just when it looks like Mani wasn't getting into the spirit of a splash attack she uses both hands to try and splash Steph back, she's rewarded with mixed results, she does send the water flying, but she does sink in the water too.
She doesn't let that stop her from trying to splash Stephanie again though]
no subject
Ooh, that is not drinking water.
no subject
...Sorry [Because Steph choking a little is clearly her fault somehow.]
no subject
S'ok, hazards of swimming. Not as bad as chlorine.
no subject
But isn't Chlorine in water anyway? I remember everyone in the facility had to drink bottled water for a while because something went wrong with the mix.
no subject
Swimming pools have a lot of chlorine in them to keep the water clean. Enough to taste.
