Test Drive - May Edition

[rekindlemods]

Belated May 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.......

((PS: We’ve also gotten a suggestion to try and post our Test Drives on the same day as the Activity Check goes up! That is, the last day of the month. We may try that out next time, and see how it works!))

Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it:

Option 1

[Animals, animals everywhere! All over the different parts of the city…And perhaps paying you a visit as well! In a strange manner, as you might find yourself looking over Saeng Seong in a different, more fuzzy perspective.]

Option 2

[Petals keep falling on your head; or at least they have a persistent habit of falling from trees that are in full bloom. And as a consequence they form a nice array of color floating on the wind…Or perhaps getting in one’s face and blocking vision. Or in the worst case, causing a sneezing fit from the excess pollen. Still, at least there’s some flowers to help liven up the air?]

Option 3

[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 4

[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.]

Hehehe~

[ Except her laughter seems to come out as coughs, though she tries to smile through the cold. ]

I'm fine, I'm fine! There's no need to worry about me.

[drank_the_milk]

You don't look fine.

[Yuna frowns, crouching down next to her.]

It'll just get worse if you don't touch somebody.

[livefreely]

Ah, really?

[ Iori purses her lips as she shifts uncomfortably. This is a little awkward, to talk to someone she just met, but she has to stay strong and play as her ideal self as always. ]

So all I have to do is hold someone's hand or place my hand on my shoulder? That's not that hard!

[ There's a silent "I think," before she coughs again, but she still stands her ground. ]

Okay! [ Her voice raises a few octaves before she clenches her hands into tight fists, fire in her eyes. ] One, twoooo...

[ And she'll manage to place her hand on Yuna's shoulder. Or try to. Holding hands is too much. ]

[drank_the_milk]

[Yuna knows this is hard for a lot of people at first, so she doesn't say anything. Iori's got the right idea, so she'll just let her take it at her own speed.]

It'll take longer to feel better depending on how long you've gone without it, but you don't seem too bad off. Do you feel anything yet?

[livefreely]

Almost two weeks, I think.

[ She does feel a little better, though she doesn't seem as bad as she used to be just moments earlier. Which means that she's healing, at least, a little. ]

Hm... I guess this can be a little difficult, huh? But it's nothing that Nagase Iori can't push through!

[drank_the_milk]

It can be kind of hard at first, but you'll get used to it. It doesn't even have to be this kind of touching, though hugs and stuff are usually the easiest. Like, did you ever play those silly rhyming clapping games with your classmates when you were a kid?

[Yuna laughs, holding up her hands.]

There's lots of ways to make it work if you get creative. Contact sports are good, too! But maybe now we can just do a handshake?

[She holds out a hand for Iori.]

Nice to meet you, Iori. I'm Yuna.

[livefreely]

Well, we didn't really do that back at home, but I totally get what you mean! Do piggy back rides count, too?

[ Iori please. ]

And it's nice to meet you too, Yuna!

[ And she'll give a handshake in return. ]

Though it's weird, you don't really do handshakes when you're greeting someone. But I'm not saying that you're weird, Yuna!

[drank_the_milk]

Yup, piggy back rides too! And massages and even punching each other!

[Shakin' dat hand.]

You don't? Wow, I really have been away from home too long.

[livefreely]

No, it's more like you actually bow when you greet each other? Though I guess that would also depend on what country you're from, I think~

[drank_the_milk]

Yeah, I'm from Japan originally, I've just kinda... lived other places for a few years.

[livefreely]

Heeeeeh... I see, I see! That must sound like fun.

[drank_the_milk]

Not all of it, but some of it was okay. I like this place the best.

[livefreely]

Oh...!

[ There's a dramatic, and surprised yell from Iori's end as she clenches her hands into tight, balled fists. ]

Really? But why would you like this place the best?

[drank_the_milk]

Let's just say it's the friendliest one I've been to.

[livefreely]

Hmmm. Well, this place is still weird, isn't it?

[drank_the_milk]

A little, but it's not a bad place at all.

[livefreely]

It's not? Even though we all got kidnapped...?

[drank_the_milk]

Well, think about it this way - there's a lot worse they could do to us than ask us to hug each other once in a while.

[livefreely]

Maybe... but isn't it weird? What if you ended up having to hug someone scary?

[drank_the_milk]

I haven't had to do that yet. There are a lot of nice people here.

[livefreely]

Well, I guess that makes you lucky, right?

[drank_the_milk]

I guess so! But if you ever need just a handshake or whatever, you can come see me, okay? I like to think I'm not very scary.

[livefreely]

Hmmm. I guess that's OK, then!

[drank_the_milk]

Speaking of which, how are you feeling? Good enough to get home on your own?

[livefreely]

I'm definitely feeling better now, thanks to you.

[ Well, it's a lot better than it was before, though it's still a little bad. But she can't just tell Yuna that; she just met the girl, after all. ]

Don't worry about me at all!

[ And she throws a thumbs up her way. ]
