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.]

Comments

Ganta Igarashi | Deadman Wonderland

[woodpeckermaruta]

A) Option 1

[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.]

Yukari Takeba | Persona 3

[letmeatem]

Option 4/5-ish?

[She definitely can't say her world is remotely normal...

Still, though.

Waking up in a weird city she's never seen before is still going to have her standing there...looking utterly confused. Her fall clothing isn't made to brace against the biting cold, either. If it weren't for the shivering, she might wonder if this could possibly just be a dream.

Wrapping her arms tightly around herself, the SEES member immediately begins her search for some place out of the co--

Oh.

And is apparently going to be interrupted from her search by a rather large pile of snow landing on her head. Pardon her shriek surprised sound, that had been sort of unexpected.]

Haruka Nanase | Free! Iwatobi Swim Club

[swimsonlyfree]

Option 2

[ Haruka wondered the streets of this strange city looking around at all of the cylindrical packages that seemed to be strung up on trees and on the doorways of the buildings. He couldn't help but feel slightly intrigued by them. There were so many around that he almost walked into one.

The package had been carefully decorated with blues and greens. Haruka quietly reaches up toward the branch untying it from it. There was a string attached to it and giving it a slight tug the BANG happened. It startled him as the confetti bursted out faster than he could see it.

Haruka's wide blue eyes stare at the differently colored paper squares float and flitter all the way down toward the ground. The freestyle swimmer felt something waxy in his hand and looked down to see a white candle stick. If he had something to light it with. The candle would bring some warmth to ease off the cool chill he was feeling. ]

Jeff Levitt | OC (Albino Werebat)

[drivenbatty]

Option 1

The unnaturally pale, thin, middle-aged man in the dark glasses very nearly makes a very undignified squeebling noise at the sight of so much cute. Jeff always did consider himself a cat person, and the sound of purring draws him over to the table like a magnet. "Aw, look at you!" he coos, lifting one of the little bundles and scratching it behind the ears. It mews and wiggles in protest, gnawing at his finger. He laughs, letting it chew for a bit before putting it down, sighing. He doesn't even know if his new home will allow cats. "I'll be back though. Don't you...eh?"

There's a chorus of squeaking at his feet, as more kittens come out to investigate. He looks human, but he smells...only sort of human. And sort of like food! Clearly, more study is necessary.

"Uh..."

They're starting to climb on him now, working their way up his pants leg and over his shirt, with one adventurous tabby already chewing on his hair. He keeps trying to take them off, but they just keep coming. It's like a feeding frenzy over here. Only fuzzy, adorable and completely harmless.

A little help?

((App is here if you'd like more info!))

[seeking_rainbows]

[Nagi wasn't sure where he was or how he got here. All he really knew was that this place wasn't Deadman Wonderland, and he highly doubted the Undertakers had brought him here after he was knocked out by Hibana.]

[So this meant in that short amount of time, he had somehow been transported. And it certainly didn't look anything like modern Tokyo. Was he even still in Japan or on Earth for that matter? He wasn't really one to believe in Aliens, but he also didn't think that humans had yet discovered such technology and he couldn't fathom a guess as to why someone with it would use it on him.]

[So there he laid, sore and bleeding, clutching as his side as he attempts to raise his head and take in his surroundings. At first he was confused, and then worried, but as he took in the light of the sun coming over the houses he couldn't help but smile.]

[Oh how he missed the sun.]

Option One:
[After a while Nagi did eventually find his way up and out of the snow, and went to the nearest hotel in order to seek information as well as board. But instead of finding a desk clerk he found...kittens?]

[For a while he just stands there and stares, confused as to what exactly was going on, and whether there was some kind of event or something. And then suddenly he gasps.]

[What if this was a world dominated by kittens!]

[But that didn't make any sense; they didn't seem to be sentient. He looks down as one of the little cats comes up and starts pawing at his leg, mewling up at him with those big green eyes.]

[Carefully he kneels down and begins to scratch it around its ears.]

Well, I don't suppose you know where I am, do you?

[His slightly robotic sounding voice echoes from the collar around his neck as he smiles down at the ginger kitten.]

[Noticing their brother getting attention, the others quickly came up to the brunette and started climbing on him, making him gasp and eventually laugh as one found its way to the top of his head.]

Such a strange place… [But he wasn’t about to complain.]

Option Five:
[For a long while he stays like that, just watching as the sun comes up, hardly bothered by the snow sinking into his slightly torn clothing. How many years has it been since he’s seen the world beyond those walls?]

[But even as his mind was left captivated time moved on around him and before long his body demanded he do something about the cold. Shivering he got up and adjusted the scarf tighter around his neck. Was it always so cold, or was he just not used to it anymore? It was hard to tell.]

[Glancing once more around the town he started to move, seeking shelter, food, and information as he went. But constantly he was getting distracted by the things around him.]

[As he turns a corner he catches sight of someone else who doesn't look like they quite belong here. Quickly he moves forward in an attempt to catch up. Maybe they would know what's going on?]

Excuse me! May I ask you a question, please?
