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.]

[So his guess was right, though he isn't sure he could imagine those kinds of creatures. He ponders over it quietly for a moment until Red speaks again.

He appreciates the information--knowing that he won't feel back to normal until later will help him deal with it until he does--but the question makes him look away. He does but doesn't. Sure, he knows someone here, he'd learned of his presence almost immediately, but Rogers doesn't know he's here yet, and the soldier wants to keep it that way for now. He knows that if he asked the man for help he would probably offer it freely, but there are too many conflicting feelings that would go with that. He's having a hard enough time dealing with everything as is.]

No. I haven't met anyone yet.

[littlerat]

[ So there wouldn't be anyone to keep an eye on him. Which, maybe the man would be fine, but honestly, right now he didn't look fine anyway. He thinks about that, trying to figure out- is there anything that could help him? Keeping company for the day might be good, but that might be odd after a while. Wasn't there something...

Ah. He looks up to the man, a thought clicking. ]

They might have something at the hospital they can give you to help you through today. Do you want to check it out? I know the way.

[ But while he's posing it as an option, he adds- ] It'll be better if we do.

[heismymission]

[As much as he's trying to act like he's fine, and as used as he is to moving forward as if he is no matter what, he's starting to wear down. The failed mission, remembering that he knew his target, finding out about the things his superiors did to him and losing all that structure was hard enough. Then he got thrown here, had to speak with people, and by now he's certain that this is the longest he's ever been out of cryo in all the decades he's been the Winter Soldier.

So while he might have denied the need to visit a place like the hospital in the previous week, right now he's a little more willing to do what it takes to stop feeling so tired. He nods, looking away from Red for a moment.]

Alright.

[littlerat]

Okay. Pikachu?

[ He points upward on the man, and Pikachu gets what he means, nodding before standing up and climbing to take to his shoulder instead. He holds on with a small clump of his hair, which the man shouldn't feel.

Red stands up, shifting his bag to around his shoulder again, holding out his hand to the man after. He'll wait until he gets up to speak. ]

If you need to get anything today, I can come along with you. But we can go to where you're staying afterwards.

[ And that should give the man enough contact to help. Contact, medicine and rest. It'll help, hopefully. ]

[heismymission]

[He only glances briefly at the pokémon when it climbs his shoulder, and even if his hair was short enough that he did feel a tug, he wouldn't mind. It's shown itself to be friendly, and that's good enough for him.

The soldier stands as well and takes the boy's offered hand, realizing something is nagging at him. There's something he feels like he should remember about a situation like this... something he needs to do or say.]

Alright. [He nods, and though he looks to Red when he replies, his eyes soon dart away as he thinks. It feels like... a word. He's heard it lately, exchanged between other people he's watched. ... Ah, that's it.]

Thanks.
