Test Drive - January Edition

[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, GO GO GO.......

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.]

Headtilt. "We are not consulted regarding the universes selected from." He removes a cat from his jacket, petting its wee head before setting it down with the others.

"The definition of 'pet' is loose, here. It appears to encompass anything from the standard animals to semisentient elementals, and all of those are allowed in the residences."

"Well, that wasn't exactly what I meant. I thought it might be...sort of an unconscious thing? Like...the place is picking up our thoughts? Like I said, just pulling theories out of my ass."

He brightens. "Really? Well then. I think I'll take this guy, since he seems to have claimed me." He scritches the one on his shoulder again, and it purrs and rubs against his hand. "Have to come up with a name for you though."

September ponders this for a beat.

"There may be something to that theory." He pulls a small notebook full of incomprehensible glyphs from a pocket and leafs through it to a specific page. "I have observed that the multiple occurrences involve universes whose representative individuals are the most vociferous regarding their wishes that people they know would join them here."

Jeff blinks in surprise. "No kidding? I didn't realize I was onto somethin--ow! Easy there, hon." The cat on his shoulder apparently hasn't learned to put its claws away yet. He plucks it--her, as it turns out-- from his shoulder and cradles her in the crook of his arm instead. "I think I'll call you Needles."

He clears his throat and returns to the matter at hand. "Anyway. Having the company of somebody I know would definitely be nice. Maybe I should start complaining more," he chuckles. "Were you looking for someone special?"
