Test Drive - March Edition

[rekindlemods]

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. And 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

[ 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! Though why the bath house is ALSO holding a similar event is anyone's guess.]

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.]

[Really, she should be happy she wasn't called a 'horse' or something equally rude, but with a pause in her stride, she lifted a brow and regarded him with confusion. Oh, there wasn't another leaf stuck in her mane, was there? Was there dirt on her face? Please let there be no dirt on her face. She quickly reached to rub both cheeks against a hoof to clear off the debris that was not there.]

[But when it touched grass once more, she looked up and frowned.]

...New? New to what?

[blazeoflife]

To, uh... Saeng Seong.

[Did she wander away from the welcome center before she got her info package, he wondered? Was it the 18th already, or did she somehow end up here early...?]

Cause unless you're from this city, then you're not in your home world anymore, sorry.

[...Was it even possible to get hair that styled on a horse?]

[unicouture]

[...Pony.]

[But the frown disappeared, instead replaced by a light laugh. She doesn't believe you, Junpei.]

I think we had ourselves a misunderstanding. I'm standing in Everfree Forest, you're one of the many strange creatures living within it, and I'm due in Ponyville as soon as possible before I worry my dear friends!

[With a lofty 'hm!', she nods in satisfaction before she cants her head in his direction.]

Now, if you'll just point me out of the forest, I'll be on my way. -- Oh, but you probably should come with me, dear! You look perplexed and, if I may say so, a little lost yourself.

[blazeoflife]

[Fine, fine, Pony!]

You think we're in a forest?

[Well, then again, they were near the park area... and it was so foggy it would be impossible to see otherwise. And she was from... Ponyville? What, did she step out of some kids anime?

Sooo, now what? Was it worth arguing with her that no, she wasn't home anymore, or should he just--]

Uh, I'm really sorry, miss, but you're in Saeng Seong. I can take you back to the Welcome Center, since I think you must've ended up here by mistake, or something.

[Please don't gorge him with your horn.]

Usually new people show up there on the 18th of March, so I dunno how you'd end up all the way here.

[unicouture]

A welcome center! Well, that's a first. Perhaps they'll give me the directions I need.

Not that you haven't given me help! Really, I thought I was by my little old self out here. But as much as I'd love to stand around and chat, darling, I'm afraid this fog will start mussing my mane in due time, and that simply will not do. Lead on!

[With that, the tip of her horn began to glow, and she trod closer, pausing at Junpei's side. A polite nod, and she was prepared to go.]

[blazeoflife]

[...Okay, now he was just gonna humor the Lady Pony. She'd convinced herself that she was still in her world, and with the fog so bad he knew the chances of him explaining it and getting her to believe him was pretty low. Besides, she seemed nice enough. Even if she seemed a bit... prissy? He was reminded of how some girls at school talked about doing their hair--

Huh, so she could make her horn glow? That's pretty interesting...]

Alright, so we're in district 4 right now, so... the welcome center is--

[And he turned, gesturing forward, his flashlight beam lighting up the rainy clouds of fog around them.]

That way!

[...Worse comes to worse, he'd contact Fuuka on the first Network terminal he found and ask for her to use Juno. Ahahaha...]

So uh, you can use magic, I guess?
