Test Drive - March Edition
![]() SURPRISE! It's time for our new 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 |
[ It's looking gray here, still in that colorless pre-spring phase. There is one bright spot of color, in the form of roses decorating a few tables inside buildings. They even appear to be free for the taking, if you need a little color! And mostly benign. Mostly.] |
Option 2 |
[ The entire city looks pretty new to you, but there seems to be a special amount of shine to one particular spot. Maybe it's just the lights on the ferris wheel, which looks like it could offer a great view of the new city. Only catch is that you're going to end up sharing the ride with another person.] |
Option 3 |
[Apparently this place has a zoo and an aquarium, and is currently holding a special deal and event. Bring a second person in with you, get a special pass to the exhibits! |
Option 4 |
[The slow warming and change in the season has another effect; visibility has a way of suddenly dropping when a cool mist rolls in off the banks of the river and down from the clouds. It's got a chill and dampness to it, and makes it hard to see. You might want to be careful not to bump into anyone while trying to get in out of the fog.] |
Option 5 |
[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 6 |
[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.] |
Christian Nolan | Original Character
[ Upon waking up at the side of the street, Christian couldn't help but be confused by what he had seen. The lack of color and dark contrast made him blink trying to regain his senses. Was he in the shopping district of Arcova? However the more he looked around, the more he noticed that the buildings were very simple. Christian squinted his teal eyes glancing toward the nearby window of a shop and spots color from within. The object that had caught his attention was a very bright and colorful rose that seemed to sparkle. It didn't make much sense to him but he entered the shop none the less. As soon as he entered it occurred to him that he was still dressed in his robes. Blacks along with a copper undertones, leather small to medium pouches around his waist, luckily his hood was down to show that he meant no harm to anyone. Christian grew self conscious about hidden blades being on him. He was only on patrol of the city but was always prepared for anything. Mostly scouting out for demonic deformed Beastman. ]
[ He walks over toward the small table with the rose sparkling away. Christian hadn't seen anything like it before and wondered if a certain alchemist could bloom something like this. The assassin is surprised when he is told by the store keeper that he could take one. He picked one out and walked back out of the shop. However, he realized that something seemed different and aura shone around him and rose petals fell around his frame. ]
You got to be kidding me... this is totally something that he would create as a joke.
[ Option Two ]
[ Christian found himself near the ferris wheel in this strange city. He still didn't believe where he was and it could all be just a dream. A dream that could be reality and it almost felt familiar in a way. The assassin knew that he could easily climb any tall building around and be able to get a great view. However, he hadn't seen something like a ferris wheel before. With the lights and swinging seats, the machinery seemed interesting. As he stepped up toward it, he was stopped by the operator who told him that he must ride with another person. Christian blinked, tilting his head at the operator before looking around him. ]
I don't suppose you could just let me on? It's not like it'll be dangerous.
[ The operator says no again before shouting out loud. Anyone want to sit with this gentleman?. ]
[option 1, no way is he getting on the ferris wheel]
He's unaware that the effect is being caused by the rose that the man is carrying and instead decides to confront the man about his wasteful ways]
What effect are you hoping to accomplish by surrounding yourself in rose petals?
XD Would not expect him to get on the ferris wheel.
To make my demeanor more fruity and friendly. I bet you'd do nicely with rose petals floating around you. Here.
[ He hands Loki the sparkling rose. ] Why don't you take it? I'm sure it smells sweet.
Why not? I'm sure he'll enjoy himself... and take magical potshots at things from the top~
Lmao. Oh Loki. Magical potshots from the top. Would you make fireworks happen?
Of course, there would always be fireworks, green and gold ones
Gaia Rowntree | FFXIV: A Realm Reborn - OC
[This... was not the Waking Sands. Nor did it appear to be any place in Eorzea that she had ever been to - and by this point in her travels, she's been to all three major city-states and seen quite a bit of the lands around them.
At least this particular arrival and plea for help hadn't come with a cryptic dream involving crystal goddesses and men in black coats.
Maker be praised, there had even been a letter explaining what this city needed of her. Physical contact? She could do that quite easily.
'It almost seems... too easy.' If her experience as an adventurer had taught her anything, it was that things were never as simple as they were on the surface.
She gathers her sword, shield, and the folder containing the introductory materials, and heads out into the city proper. It was time to get her bearings, and get a feel for the size of this Saeng Seong.]
[While the metal contraption had caught her attention, the zoo and aquarium held more interest to her - she was quite curious about the nature of the animals of this world.
She openly scowled at the sign detailing the promotion.] A pass, should I enter with another...?
[That... was problematic.]
Option 3? c:
Sure, I'm game. :3

option 3
But Red had taken notice of the sign too. He could either part with some of his money (apparently, opting to go in with a pokémon unfortunately didn't count), or he could find somebody else to go in with him. It was during giving the second option a go that Red saw the woman at the sign, the same one that he'd been at only a little time earlier. Another curious soul?
Wouldn't know until he found out. And so he approaches her, putting up a hand up and calling out to try and catch her attention.] Hey!
[And if she looks his way-] Did you want to get in too?
[There can also be optional company to the thread, in the form of am oversized yellow rodent perched on the boy's shoulder.]

3!
[hey, not to scare you or anything, but this girl kinda showed up quietly behind you. her hands are clasped demurely in front of her, and she's smiling politely at you.]
I'm on my own, if you wanted to go inside?

Minato Arisato | Persona 3 FES | Haven CRAU
[Cautionary words are one thing, and experience is another. As grateful as Minato is for their help in hospitalizing him when he first arrived, he's still far too suspicious of everything else in this new city and it doesn't help things either that he still feels like this is another ploy by his original captors- he was told after all that they would offer him what he wants at his most vulnerable and he can't think of anything he wants more than to see his friends.
Which brings him to the second problem. The copy of Aigis that he had seen months before had obviously been made based on a small facet of her personality while everyone here seemed too real and happy to actually be captives of the Yao Corporation. Well, aside from their insistence that he should let them just hug him already...heaving a sigh, he takes a seat by the riverbank to clear his thoughts.] ...I don't get what they want. [So Minato says to himself, while unaware that he's already beginning to experience the symptoms he'd been warned about.]
no subject
But any reservation about that went out the window when Minato had shown up, looking like he'd been starved for months and was barely hanging on. The blue haired teen had known his name, and by previous descriptions from his senpai, the dude matched it. But all that had fallen to the way side over the emergency of getting the guy into a hospital. Any confused 'what the hell's? had been forgotten in Junpei's rush to help this guy.
After all, even if Junpei didn't remember him, he still made the same sacrifice Minako had made, right? That means he was just as important to some other Junpei as Minako was to him. So...]
...Oh, hey! Dude!
[Going back to the apartments after doing his shift at America's restaurant with dinner in hand, Junpei noticed Minato sitting on the riverbank. What's he doing off by himself?]
How's it going?
[A friendly smile, and Junpei makes his way over to the young man, standing next to the young man.]
You doin' any better now?

it's been forever since i played her so please excuse me -- but i couldn't resist
[Elizabeth would never say she's made a habit of sneaking up on people to surprise them, though Theodore would be quick to disagree. As would Margaret, on second thought.
She wouldn't be "popping up at random," as they say, if they'd been paying attention. Though, in this case...
She had seen the familiar slouched shape and thought to surprise him. His being here - and not chained to a door, protecting the world - surprised her twice as much, after all!
When she speaks again, her voice is softer -- it's much less teasing than her earlier statement.] Good day, treasured guest of the Velvet Room.
It's fine, and an elizabeth is always welcome!
excellent!

Rarity | My Little Pony: FiM | Option 4!
[...Was that-- Oh, thank goodness. A silhouette! Another pony! Yes, someone who no doubt knew their way around here, or a pegasus she could ask with the most patience she could muster why this unsightly fog was still hanging about after so long, and if they would be a dear and remove the silly curtain so that they could all go about their business!]
[She took a moment to make sure her mane fell just right- no need to look a fright when you would address a comrade, no?- before moving at a light trot in the silhouette's direction.]
Excuse me...? I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me directions? I'm afraid I've been turned around somewhere...

1/2
But man, this was reminding him of that one horror game series that used to terrify him when he tried playing it in Middle school, that Hushed Ridge series...
Wait, w-was there something in the fog? His grip on his flashlight got a bit tighter, even as he chided himself; c'mon, he dealt with serious horrors already, why was he getting freaked out at some weird shape? ...I-it didn't look human th--
Oh, it was talking. Girl's voice too.]
Uh, sure! Where were you hea--

Lulu | Final Fantasy X | Options 2 & 5
2, please!
But he was pulled from his gawking by a voice from beside, a new face- and attire entirely unlike he'd seen in Saeng Seong- earning his gaze.]

Queen Elsa | Frozen
The Queen lifts her skirt as she steps into the Ferris Wheel car, folding it tightly around her knees and clasping her hands together.
"P-please," she says, trying to sound regal, but stuttering in nervousness, "tell me if you... experience any discomfort."
She wishes she wasn't so hasty in discarding her other glove. She starts rubbing her hands together, hoping the friction will melt any ice that forms.
Elsaaaaa! >w< Here have a dumbass
Well, that went well. Here Junpei was with an absolutely knock out beauty that had asked him to come on the ferris wheel with her, and he had completely forgotten to ask her name! He fidgeted a little in his seat as he realised his faux pas, completely missing what her own movements were actually about.
"W-where I'm from, these things are pretty normal, I promise it's safe!"
Safety from the heights is not quite what this mysterious lady was worried about, Junpei...
i will take him and gratefully

Option two! [ Marth | Fire emblem ]
He'd never even seen anything like this before. It was so loud at all times - so bright, and so strange in every possible way. That, and the populace really didn't take to dawdlers. He'd found himself walking at a slow pace, shoved this and that way by the shoulders of those which seemed to know where they were going, and wanted to get there without an odd, blue-haired teenager in the way. His apologies had meant nothing. They were curtly ignored - and he'd found himself apologizing to thin air more often than not.
Still, he pressed on, eyes focusing on the ferris wheel after another particularly hard nudge.]
...What on earth...?
[There were... people inside the carriages? Yes, he could see a small girl waving out of one at everyone below. Perhaps.. Perhaps he could find a way out of this place from a higher vantage point? Walking around was doing absolutely nothing.]
BACKFLIPS THE FUCK IN HERE
Carriages. Sure, it seemed to be a thing for moving people. But they didn't move forwards or backwards. What's the point of it, and why is it lit up so nicely if it's for transportation? Why does it keep stopping?
He's not keen to leave it for some reason. Not that he needs to, because when he turns to ask someone in line just what the hell is going on here, he spies a blue form. And that, to an Altean son, is always a good sign. Especially when he'd been losing his shit upon arrival about being alone. The other patrons be damned, he's going to follow his hunch and make a beeline for what looks like his lord (or Frey, or maybe Draug no but he's too big but HEY who else colour-codes like an Altean does).]
Hey! Excuse me! [Then a little louder--] Excuse me! Sire?!
[If anyone knows what the hell people are doing sitting on this contraption, it's got to be Marth. Please be Marth please be Marth please be Marth]
/CATCHES!
ooh so romantic u///u
/possibly gets booted in the face from the catch but hey *~ROMANCES YOU~*
...i promsie to be more careful with my feet next time eAe

WOW i need those are you gonna carry me everywhere X-(

but right now? right now there's a guy over there that's looking pretty uncomfortable. maybe even as lost as Zack is. following that line of sight, he notices that the other is staring at the ferris wheel. does the guy want to take a ride but is too scared to? or is there something else...
anywho! Zack bides his time and might give the poor, unfortunate soul a little shove into one of the carriages. ]
Hey, hey. Don't hold up the line.

K'pandolu Tohka | Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - OC
[She's not exactly in the habit of picking up everything she touches, but- this doesn't seem like the sort of thing one would leave behind on purpose. And besides… it might mean something. In which case, misplacing it's worse.
And so! She's going to head up to people, rose in hand.]
Pardon! But- is this yours, by any chance?
[cue sparkling.]
[Option 4]
[It's hardly the first time the weather has changed for the worse on her, but this is still somewhere K'pandolu's not entirely familiar with. She takes a few steps more, turning her head from side to side, listening hard.]
Hello?
[she can't be the only one caught in this, can she?]
1!
[She was trying to remain as small as possible on a nearby table as she drew, crayon starting to run a little low that she was about to grab another before she heard a voice.]
Huh-?
[Wait was that person...sparkling???]
N-no, it isn't.
