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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Well, that unattended shave ice cup isn't going to be alone for long. It's summarily scooped up, and peered at, as if it's being inspected for explosives. Or edibility. Or how it could be used to kill someone.]

[Or hell, all of the above.]

Why is the frozen water strangely colored?

[Yeah, that's right, Peter, you're not getting a second's peace. Not while there are weird earth things around and you're the only one to explain them.]

[Also? Totally eyeing those guns. Those water guns. How come Peter gets weapons and all he got was a cheap plastic knife?]

[Hey, he stole that fair and square! In fact, he's already putting a hand to that pistol, pointing it up at the person who dare try and snag---andddd reconsidering life choices.]

Drax! You're here too?

[Seriously, he just wanted to eat some snow cone bits. Now he's everyone's best buddy. Including a hobo with a metal arm.]

Annnd you're going to eat that now, aren't you. It's called shaved ice. Don't think I need to explain that one but...just in case. Little bits of frozen water with flavor in it so no one looks at you like you're a weirdo for eating it.

[Good job, Peter. You stopped Drax's hand from going all the way down to his plastic knife -- figuring the gun reflex meant some kind of thing was about to go down.]

[But nothing happens, so he just raises an eyebrow.]

Yes. Here. Instead of where we should be.

[Trying to punch Ronan in the face. Because that always works so well.]

You eat it. You do not shave with it. Why do they call it shave ice?

Shaved ice. There's a 'd' at the end of that. Means they scrape it off the ice cube with...a knife or somethin'. I don't know.

[There's a huff.]

Just eat it. That one's like...cherry. Strawberry. You can never really tell.

Then they should call it "scraped ice". It would be less confusing.

[ONLY TO YOU, DRAX.]

Very well. [But while he totally eats your snow cone--] What is the plan?

...I'll talk to them about it next time I visit.

[BUT GOOD SUBJECT CHANGE DRAX, thank you for saving him the frustration.]

Well, I was thinkin' about going over and trying to win that giant alligator stuffed animal. Can't say you're my ideal date, though.

That is worse than your twelve percent of a plan!

[No this is not the plan he was hoping for ughhh.]

I speak of a plan to escape. We cannot remain here. You must know this.

Yeah? Well this one's more like...17%.

[SORRY HE ISN'T ROCKET AND CAN BUILD A BOMB OUT OF TWO PAPERCLIPS AND A WATCH BATTERY. But at Drax's statement, he gives a shrug, slowly putting that shaved ice in his mouth.]

Why not? Saved the galaxy, didn't we?

Seventeen percent. That is only five percent better.

[GOD who would have thought he'd MISS the creepy little beast.]

[And he just stares at Peter. Like he's speaking more gibberish than usual.]

We did not. Ronan still lives. He was in the process of speaking nonsense at the frightened people.

Thank you, Reading Rainbow. Now I know.

[Yeah, he's starting to miss his furry behind too. At least the raccoon understood him.]

...

Ah, yeah. We kinda blew him up with the power of...[Sorry, there's some shaved ice in his mouth.]..Power of friendship or something. And the infinity stone.

Edited 2014-09-15 05:31 (UTC)

[PAUSE...]

Who is this Rainbow you thank?

[And yeah, he did just glance around because who the hell are you talking to, bro?]

We... we have done no such thing. He still possessed of both the stone and his life, when last I saw you.

Nothing, nothing. It was a joke. Those things you don't get.

[He waves his hand, as if trying to get Drax back to the important part of this conversation.]

Look, I was there. I'm the one who grabbed that stone. Yeah, yeah, almost had it tear me apart if it wasn't for you guys.

It's a little hard to forget.

You should have said so.

[HUFF HUFF. Why are you so difficult, Quill.]

Then why is it I have no memory of such a thing? I would recall you being foolish enough to grasp the stone in your hand. That is not the sort of idiot idea one forgets easily.

[SAYS THE GUY WHO CALLED RONAN COLLECT FROM KNOWHERE.]

I did--you know what, I'm not going to argue. Just take the shaved ice and eat it.

[Right, HE'S the difficult one.]

Yeah well the idiot with the idiot idea just confirmed that he did it so...guess that leaves you with a bunch of missed memories.

You helped out, you know.

It makes my skull hurt.

[That's because you jammed like five spoonfuls into your mouth at once, Drax.]

I would remember this. I would remember helping to defeat Ronan.

[He scowls at nothing in particular--]

Did I rip his limbs from his body or crush his spine into gravel?

Yeah, that's called a brain freeze. Try not to do that.

[It's like he's the babysitter and that's sad cause Gamora's HIS babysitter so what does that say about you losers]

...

Uh. More like we beat him with the stone using the power of friendship.

Or something.

[Casual spoonful of ice. As if he were just commenting on the weather.]

If my brain were truly frozen, we would not be having this talk.

[You people and your idioms, UGHHH.]

This power you speak of. How is it possible to defeat the stone? Is it explosive?
