Test Drive - July Edition

[rekindlemods]

The July 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

[ It looks like there are preparations underway for some sort of festival or fair. There are various stands and booths being erected along sectioned-off streets and the riverbank, and decorations are slowly but surely being hanged. Fireflies seem to be appearing all along the riverbank as the sun sets, with a few stands set up with mason jars of various sizes as well as paper lanterns, possibly as further decorations. Whatever the case, it looks like those setting up could use some help! ]

Option 2

[ Though most of the stands are being set up, that doesn't mean that there aren't a few vendors looking to help those out and about beat the heat in some fashion. There are some selling shaved ice with various flavors, and others that appear to be handing out water-filled balloons or squirt guns. However, like in the market district, there's a catch – the items are free, so long as you arrive at the stall in pairs or groups larger than two. ]

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.]

[Well in this case it was more the fact that he needed people to continue thinking it was a trick, and not realizing that he had powers. Because in his experience people don't usually deal well with strange and new things. Also he was getting a little tired of being shrugged off or called insane.]

[And yeah, it was more fun to see then it was to know. He remembered when he was a small child, looking at all the performers and wondering how they were able to do that. Now when he sees a good show he respects them, but that wonder was lost.]

[He smiles at the boy and takes the small change.]

Yes, that'll do, thank you very much.

[The teen puts the money into the same hat he was keeping the crowds offerings and then with a glamorous spin his feathery white cape wraps around him until all that can be seen is the mask, he then stops and stares out into the crowd before flourishing and revealing that Allen was no longer there, nobody was, the cape was moving and standing on its own.]

[Meanwhile the white haired teen came from behind and tapped Sora on the shoulder, just as the cape vanished before the crowd.] Tada~ [He said with a chuckle.]

[rikuheyriku]

[If he ever were to find out the other person had some sort of supernatural ability, he certainly wouldn't handle it poorly- not that the other could possibly know that, of course. Put simply, however, the Keyblade-wielder has yet to lose his wonder, regarding magic. He tends to hold things in a different light; he never fails to always see the good in each and every little thing, in spite of everything. Really, he's easily amused by some things, in spite of all the things he has witnessed.

When the white-haired guy accepts his offering, Sora grins, and then...

...He certainly hadn't expected that. Blue eyes widen as the teenager watches the person disappear. While watching the awesome scene unfold, he's completely unaware of the one approaching him from behind. So, when he feels that tap, and hears that voice, he's instantly blinking as he spins around.]

Wooooah, no way...!

[Sora's outright grinning, at that. There's no way, though, that those can just be mere tricks. It has to be some kind of actual magic. Honestly, he'd love it if he could learn to...to teleport, or whatever it was the guy had done.]

Heh! That was cooler than anything I can do.

[cursed_one]

[If Allen was to witness Sora's own abilities he would probably ask him if it was an innocence or not. After all, that was a part of his job, to run around locate innocence and refer them back to the order. Though, it would have to be rather secretly done, similar to how his Master had decided to handle his friend Krory.]

[Sorry Sora, he didn't have the power of teleportation, but he could teach you how to use your power and charm to distract away the eyes of the audience to pull off a similar stunt.]

[The white haired boy grins, truly happy that the other liked the show and being called cool wasn't all that bad either.]

Is that so? Well give it some time and practice and you'll never know what will happen. Maybe one day I'll be staring in awe at you.

[Some friendly competition wasn’t bad, and the this boy certainly had the energy to become a showman. And something about him kind of reminded him of clown, he means that in the nicest way possible.]

May I ask your name?

[rikuheyriku]

[And Sora would just- stare. Because uh...doesn't innocence just mean...pure and...good, or something? Seriously, he wouldn't have the faintest clue that the person means a weapon capable of defeating...things.

Hey, he would absolutely love to learn those things, honestly. Speaking of things he loves: encouragement. The brunette grins lightly at those words. Well, now a part of him wants to show off what he can do. Good job, sir.]

Heh, who knows! Of course...what I can do is pretty cool, as well!

[With that, he's folding his arms behind his head, his grin growing. Hey, being able to change your forms and use magic is pretty awesome, okay! The Keyblade wielder might be genuine and pure in most ways, but he is still very much a teenage boy with a competitive streak. Not only that, but a love of showing off what he's sure he does well at. For the most part, anyway. A part of that has dimmed down, a bit...hence him not jumping to ask Allen if he wants a demonstration.]

Ah-! [Right...There's a bit of a sheepish look in his smile as he says-] My name's Sora! What's yours?

[cursed_one]

[Yeah, it was kind of confusing...wasn't it? But was it really any stranger than using a giant key as a blade. Both Allen and his master often times just called their weapon's what they are, weapons. The first time he heard the popular term for the energy that supplies them was from Kamui and that was while he was being violated.]

[Ugh, he didn't want to remember those times...]

Heh, is that so?

[He say's kindly, folding his arms and tilting his head, curious about the boy's abilities. ]

Oh, my apologies. [He holds out his human hand to Sora in greeting.] My names Allen Walker, it's a pleasure to meet you. Would you be interested in showing your talents for me and our lovely audience?
