Test Drive - June Edition

[rekindlemods]

SURPRISE! (Part two!) Here is our new June 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

[ The river is well and completely thawed out at this point, flowing through the city at an impressive clip. Swimming is possible, although the currents make it a little risky if you aren't skilled at it. But on the flip side, the Beach Side Shack has put out their fishing supplies; if there's a time to try fishing the river, it's certainly now. Why not grab one of various fishing rods and see if there's anything to catch this time around?]

Option 2

[ With the change in weather, so comes a change in shopping options. Not just warm weather apparel, but various mobile carts and food vendors are starting to range further up and down the streets. Spiced, sweet, sour, savory delicacies are on display from all sorts of wheeled displays getting pulled around. Feel free to give them a try!]

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.]

As disturbing as someone with yellow eyes can be when, like Naoto, one has met one's golden-eyed Shadow, red eyes might have been even more disturbing.

For now though, thoughts like this are far from Shura's mind. She is smiling, a genuine smile, as she looks herself over one final time in the mirror. "You're totally right, it does! I'm definitely buying this dress now." She turns her head to look at Naoto. If she had been used to Saeng Seong again, she would have taken Naoto's hand in thanks. As of now, she tends to forget the whole physical contact thing still. "Thank you."

"Not a problem, Shura... actually, allow me to pay for this."

Naoto reached for her wallet, nodding.

"That other dress of yours got wrecked due to those roses, correct? I'd like to cover it this time."

[demimaudite]

Shura blinks and has to remind herself not to think that Naoto surely has an ulterior motive for this. Naoto is... Shura wouldn't say not unlike others, but Naoto understands Shura's plight and Shura can't help but have faith in her, if only a little.

"Are you sure? I mean, me and Kanji almost damaged your office that day too..."

[detective_shirogane]

"Yes, but I overreacted when I knew the roses were affecting your judgement. That dinner more than made up for any slights... and I'd like to return the favor."

Gesturing towards the dress, Naoto smiled.

"You deserve to have someone treat you now and again, I believe."

After all she's gone through, after all... being treated with some compassion was something Naoto could give the Demi-Fiend.

[demimaudite]

Shura doesn't know what to say, so she brushes her hair back in an embarrassed gesture as she looks to the side.

"If you're sure."

[detective_shirogane]

"Positive. Would you rather keep the dress on when we ring this up?"

She wasn't sure that would be okay with the merchant, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[demimaudite]

"I'd love to! It's such a pretty dress."

Maybe the merchant won't, but maybe keeping Shura's breasts covered will win out in the end. For now, she walks to the cashier, visibly happy with her new dress and the camisole.
