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.]

SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

[outlawname]

[Hey, next time he gets pulled onto a Ravager ship he'll be sure to bring the newest iPhone with space wifi so he can keep up. But for now, obsolete headphones. He sees Tony out of the corner of his eye snatching up that cup, and a hand pulls one of those super soakers out, pointing it at him.

Excuse you that's HIS shaved ice he totally stole legitimately.]

I'd put that down if I were you, Breakfast Club.

[Because Super Soakers are totally lethal. Well...they could be, if you tried hard enough.]

SOMEONE WHO ISN'T SUPER OLD

[ironyman]

[Tony gives Peter his most scathing really?? look over his sunglasses.]

So I guess that makes you, ah, John Bender, huh. Since you're supposed to have two people to get these.

[That's right, he's the king of pop culture references around here! And now he's going to stare at Peter and shove another spoonful of shaved ice into his mouth. Go on, Peter, shoot him, he dares you.]

[outlawname]

[Have an upbeat Really! in return, Tony.]

You can't prove I didn't have one at the time--wait.

[Pause. Rewind.]

You're human, right?

[Okay, he's got an explanation for this question. It's not as stupid as it sounds, really.]

[ironyman]

[Tony is about to point out that a) he saw Peter walk over here alone and b) the guy clearly has two water guns instead of the one he'd probably have if he had a friend, but then Peter asks... if he's human? Huh? Tony just stares for a moment.]

Okay, I can't tell if you're joking or not. Yes? Obviously.

[outlawname]

[Yeah well maybe he disposed of said friend bro you don't know him!! But right now, his face is cracking into the biggest smile a grown man can probably muster.]

I have to be sure.

[His gun's immediately placed back on his waist, pulling down the headphones completely.]

Quick. Name all the Ninja Turtles.

[ironyman]

[WELL IT'S HIS SHAVED ICE NOW and Tony takes another bite just to prove it. Also he's rolling his eyes and head to make it perfectly clear how stupid he thinks this request and that smile are.]

Guh, okay, fine. Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo. You wanna explain the test, pal?

[outlawname]

[You know what? Fine. You can have your shaved ice. Courtesy of the legendary Star-Lord.

You're welcome.]

Alright! Okay, I know it sounds crazy but...I've been in space for 20 years. Picked up right out of Missouri and blasted right out of the solar system.

[He holds a hand out, eyes practically dancing.]

Name's Peter Quill, but you may know me as Star-Lord. Guardian of the Galaxy, touched an infinity stone ones and didn't die.

No big deal.
