Test Drive - January Edition
 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. |
Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it: |
Option 1 |
[ Inside the welcome center lobby, out of the cold and with a surprisingly warm temperature (and a surprisingly LOUD amount of purring) is a booth of sorts. It has a make shift desk, a few carrying boxes...And more than a few kittens running around and underfoot. They seem to be naturals at escaping any pens or cat carriers, as well. And a cheerful banner proclaiming "ADOPT TODAY!" is hung up, over the entire thing. All while the kittens in question run around at just the right height and speed to count as a tripping hazard.] |
Option 2 |
[ The people here apparently have something to celebrate, in the form of a few little cylindrical packages hanging from nearby trees and even doorways; they just sort of scream 'pick me up!' don't they? And when picked up, it just takes a slight tug to get them to pop open with a BANG, releasing a little confetti and containing a...Candle? Well, at least it might be useful for keeping the cold away, even if it makes a lot of noise. ] |
Option 3 |
[ It seems like not all is peaceful and calm in this city. There's still a few left over snow golems wandering around, and the time spent alive and somehow avoiding attacks hasn't done much to improve their tempers. It's probably a good idea to either be on guard, or on the offense if they catch sight of you! ] |
Option 4 |
[ Is that a glimpse of blue sky overhead? A warm breath of spring teasing at the senses? It may well be all those things...For just a few seconds, right before the winter cold slams back into place with a gust of icy wind. It also does a great job of knocking snow off overhanging branches and roofs, and right onto some unfortunate heads; ducking out and cleaning the snow off is probably a good idea.] |
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.] |
Ganta Igarashi | Deadman Wonderland
[Well, this certainly isn't what this sixteen-year-old expected to find inside this building. The former Deadman's gray eyes narrow just a bit as he cocks his head to the side, giving the fluffy creatures a questioning stare. Because, wow who left these kittens just...laying around?
Of course...who can resist picking up a fluffy kitten? Especially when it's attacking the hem of your pants in such an attention-demanding way? So, huffing out an exasperated sigh, he reaches down with his free hand to scoop the feisty creature up. Letting the purring feline rest in the palm of one hand, the teenager uses a finger to gently scratch it between its ears.]
B) Option 3
[Okay, so...
No amount of living in a strange place where some psychotic scientist was responsible for making it so your blood could blow things up...
...could ever prepare a guy for being chased by a real life snow monster--if that's what this thing can be called? Whatever it is, it's also apparently a bad ass. No matter how many times he destroys parts of it, said parts just grow right back. So, the poor kid's eventually exhausted.
Good thing he didn't lose his speed and reflexes along with his powers. These two attributes come in handy in helping him in the whole...avoiding getting hurt thing. Of course, he has no idea how he managed to make it to a legitimate hiding spot. Maybe the thing will get bored looking for him?
Hell if he knows. He's just glad for the breather.
He hasn't really regretted the loss of his Branch of Sin, until now. Hell, he kind of had this crazy idea in the back of his mind that he'd get to lead a relatively peaceful life after getting out of the prison. Whoops, silly Ganta.]
no subject
[Which meant right now his crew was without a leader, and that left him feeling rather apprehensive. And then he went outside, and every previous thought that plagued his mind was destroyed in the wake of what he saw before him ...snow.]
[It felt like forever since he had last seen snow, and he dared not move in case he woke up from this dream. For a long while he stood like this, just watching in pure wonderment, until a snow golem came up and knocked him out of it, quite literally.]
[He felt himself go flying, bracing himself for the pain of hitting the ground or a wall or a number of objects that must be lying around the city. But it seemed today was shining down on him as instead he landed into a large snow drift.]
[And he was clearly in Ganta's range of sight, although the older man had yet to notice the younger, too focused on the fight at hand. And with a well-trained motion he quickly bit into the tips of his fingers, and proceeded to have a rather destructive snow ball fight with the golem, ending with the snow man being blown to pieces.]
Well that was rather interesting…
no subject
...Then, suddenly, there's Nagi.
All he can do is stare for a moment as he watches the Deadman's Branch of Sin blow the creature to bits--bits that actually land on the teenager, causing him to blink and snap out of his frozen train of thought. Tensing his brow, he finally manages to stand. There's several minutes before he manages to make his way over to the older man.]
...Nagi?
[How he'd just managed to find his voice--one that sounds just a bit deeper than what Nagi might remember hearing, Ganta will never know. The lump in his throat had definitely made it difficult to say the name of the one that he...had definitely watched bleed to death. Even after the years that have passed, the teenager's mind is still flashing back to the memory as though it's freshly been planted there.
Gray eyes skim over Nagi's body, for a moment, silently looking for any signs that he could just...not be real. Hell, the last time Ganta saw him, he was kind of...not exactly in mint condition. He had been missing a hand--and, on a more extreme note, most of his midsection. So, amongst all the shock and disbelief, he's definitely filled with relief.
Damn it, he hasn't cried in years...but...
Well, the tears forming in his eyes aren't something Nagi should be too unfamiliar with or thrown off by, right? The fact that Ganta is visibly older by two years, however...
Well...time did continue on without you, Nagi.]
no subject
[He lets out a gruff sound as he attempts to get up. This time the snow had caught him, but it didn't help much with the wounds he had sustained before his arrival here. He could feel that he had major bruising all over his body and possibly even a broken arm. And it hurt to move, but move he did, and when he had just gained the motivation to lift himself up out of the pile he heard his name and fell right back into it.]
[With a wince he turns to look at who had spoken his name. And when his eyes catch sight of the younger Deadman his first reaction was to smile. At least Ganta was out of harm's way, that was good, and he generally was just glad to have a familiar face in such a strange and foreign land. ]
Igarashi kun... [He lets out a sigh of relief.] I am glad to see you, what about the others?...
[And then slowly his eyes lower and the smile on his face dulls. Something was different, Ganta looked...older, and that look he was giving him. The disbelief and astonishment swimming in his eyes, it was like he was seeing a ghost.]
[Carefully he lifted himself up again, the smile on his face completely gone as realization starts to dawn on him. Ganta didn't look older, he was older. That's why he didn't recognize his voice right off, and why now he could see the same look in his eyes that was held by so many prisoners put through Deadman Wonderlands trials and competitions.]
[And from the way he was looking at him...]
[It wasn't really a surprise; he had the odds stacked up against him. He had fallen like a fool into their trap and had no way to fight back. He looks down to gather his thoughts a moment, and when he looked up his eyes catch the glint of the sun shining against the tears on Ganta's face.]
...Igarashi...kun?[What was he doing, dwelling on matters that for him have yet to come. Right now Ganta was alive, and would live, and that thought alone filled him with an unexplainable joy. He couldn't help but smile, and for a moment he completely forgot about his pain as he pushed himself up and walked over to the young boy…no… man.]
How peculiar... [Slowly he reaches up and wipes away some of those tears from under Ganta's eyes.] Your heart is so warm, you're making it Rain.
[He chuckles a little, still smiling brightly but none of it could hide the fact that right now, his own eye's where beginning to form the warm tears of a reunion that previously he hadn’t a clue he was a part of.]
