Test Drive - April Edition

[rekindlemods]

Happy early April and spring! Here's a new test drive to go with it! 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

[Something went wrong with your arrival, or perhaps the security around the gates was lax. Either way, you find yourself outside the city and in place that's providing a steady drain on your energy and looking a lot less warm and welcoming. Particularly those insects of unusual size skittering down the sides of the buildings, just waiting for the wrong movement to be made before swarming. There's an alarm being raised on the other side of the city walls, and it sounds like help is on the way…But will it come fast enough?]

Option 2

[There's a bustle of activity in some parts of the city; people fussing over generators that look freshly installed (and also look oddly lantern like; one more oddity to add to this place) and trying to get them up and running. It looks like they could use a hand or two to help…And oddly enough, given the instructions, hand holding to help power these devices.]

Option 3

[Spring is here! Or at least close at hand, with all the flowers beginning to bud in the trees and the grassy areas. (There might even be a few small animals on hand, too!) Even a change in decoration as little charms and masks are hung up on buildings and the like. Chances are, there might be some other people out enjoying the spring weather, too.]

Option 4

[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 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.]

[Considering a CRAU app here.

Julien was human, once. He's not entirely clear on why he's been getting less so; a popular theory is that he's the reincarnation of someone extremely inhuman and that's been catching up. By now his arms and legs have gone over. The latter are so long now that if he stands straight he's around seven feet off the ground. It's very awkward. He keeps his wings tightly folded. At a casual enough glance, they and his tail just seem like a huge feather cloak. The legs - maybe he's on red stilts?

While he's unhappy about the change and hates scaring people, he has to go out, and be out and part of the world, particularly if it's strange. Have a bright smile.]

Suil! I mean, hi. How's it going? Has the winter been as long here as it was at home?

[Thankfully this type isn't scared just because someone looks different. Besides, he likes birds. He likes people. What not like both at the same at the time? So after the initial confused blink, he smiled cheerfully.]

Well gee, I just got here not too long ago mahself. If it's a long winter, it's news ta me. But I like winter! Snowball fights, hot cocoa, and all them nice holidays!

[espigeonage]

[Julien's not actually used to people who don't look mostly human, but he's game.]

Ah. ...Cool, cool. Personally I like cold weather better than hot, but you get tired of a really long winter, by the time it's March and there's still snow on the ground.

[thekingsshield]

Huh... That's true too. And spring brings along all those purdy flowers, and trips to the beach, and picnics! Mm-hmm!

[espigeonage]

Might be a while before beaches or picnics. But some sun's not too much to ask for, y'know?

[He tries to rub the back of his neck, but - oh, can't. Wings. Nevermind.]

So. I'm Julien.

[thekingsshield]

[he reaches out for a handshake... but... that requires hands, don't it. Oops. He shyly draws it back.]

My name's Goofy! Real nice ta meetcha, Julien!
