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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[He was walking alone, and perhaps that had been why she had been so drawn to call out him. Most were others that had passed had been in pairs. Typical. She sizes him up a moment and speaks succinctly.]

"I have a favor to ask of you."

[She doesn't wait for him to answer. She continues on, trying to keep proper candor as frustrated with herself as she is. She had thought over and over again about how she might approach someone about assisting her need for contact, but it seemed the words were harder to find now. She inhales slowly through her nose, and she exhales her words.]

"Might I--"

[This was the difficult part.]

"Hold your hand a moment or so?"

[Lulu tries not to sound hopeful, but she does hope he understands her plight without needing more details.]

[He nods, approaching closer, his posture friendly.]

"Sure thing. What is it?"

[He's been here long enough that he's pretty sure he knows the reason for the request, and that it's nothing personal. But still, he can't help but be taken aback just a little, and his pale skin does absolutely nothing to hide his blush, much to his chagrin.]

"Oh. Oh. Yeah, it's no problem at all."

[He pulls off his gloves and offers a hand, his smile still a bit sheepish.]

"I'm Jeff, by the way. I um...take it you're new?"

[Lulu reaches out to grasp his hand. It is a gentle hold she takes of him at first, but it doesn't take her very long to close her fingers a little tighter around his. For the moment, it is good to know she can cease any further damage due to this lack of contact.]

"My name is Lulu, and... I am. It's certainly been a strange experience. Saeng Seong is very unlike my home."

[She says this in a way she hopes sounds nonchalant, as if it doesn't instill her with a sense of discomfort to be new to an entirely different world.]

"I suspect it is the same for you."
