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.]

I suppose it does not.

[So much for his attempt there. At the question, he shakes his head, whiskers tilting back along the line of his snout.] No. Not quite.

[And falls silent again, clearly in thought here. New Jersey was not far from New York-- there are a lot of options to consider. That time had passed between his meditation at home and his waking here-- or that time was different between his New York and Julien's New Jersey...]

This whole situation is troubling.

And you haven't heard of the troubles in Locke. They've been pretty serious for a while, actually. Bombings, earthquake, now the kaiju snake wrecking half the business district and people fighting it in giant robots, the FBI everywhere...

[Julien paces - struts, really, with those legs - in a wide circle around Splinter.]

I'm connected somehow to a guy from the future, who's either a ninja or a spy and happens to be part or all bird, and humans are dying out. I know a guy who could tell me about a very different future, where humans are doing just fine. Gotta wonder if this is like that.

[He stops and smiles wryly.] There was a point in my life when that idea would've sounded even more ridiculous, you know.
