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.]

Comments

Arcee | Transformers 3 obviously

[pink_assassin]

[In her time, Arcee's run into some crazy people. Crazy. You know, everything from psychotic scientist on down. Some might even say she's been a little, you know, loopy herself. Though if they want to live to say anything other than 'hrrrrrk', they'd better not say it in her hearing distance.]

[But 'hug or die'? Yeah, that was a new one, and she was calling, as they say on Earth, bullshit. The fact she's feeling queasy enough to take a minute to lean against this building? Probably because of all the happiness and harmony, here watching all these people set up this festival thing. Some of them are even humming. Yeah, that had to be it. She wasn't used to all this schmoopy happy. THAT WAS ALL. Certainly wasn't that that weird organic was right.]

late, feel free to ignore if you want l Senritsu l Hunter X Hunter

[flutesolo]

[There is a very small human walking past that pauses for a moment next to Arcee. Despite the lack of a heartbeat, this pink mechanism sounds very alive. There is a consonance to them (her? It?) that just isn't heard in the machines Senritsu is used to. She doesn't want to be nosy, but this is very intriguing.]

:D

[pink_assassin]

[You don't spend a few thousand years fantasizing about hunting down and killing your nemesis on the verge of the Dead Universe without picking up the keen sens that someone is looking at you.]

[And it's not hard to find the source.]

What?

[It's pretty evenly split between threat and question. Can't a girl be sickish in peace?]

Re: :D

[flutesolo]

[oh, she's got some experience with people like that. Not quite on that scale though.]

Oh, sorry. I was curious about your rhythm. It's not a heartbeat like a human would have, but it sounds so similar, and I haven't met anyone like that before, and--

[she seems to catch herself]

You don't have to answer any of this, obviously. Sorry if I'm prying.

[pink_assassin]

My rhythm?

[What are you, nuts? Yeah, don't answer that. Touchy subject for her, too. ]

What the frag do you think I sound like?

kinda late, sorry

[flutesolo]

The rhythms that mean your body is functioning, basically. I'd normally say heartbeat, but yours doesn't sound quite like one. It's sort of a long story regarding why I can hear these things [not that long actually, but she doesn't feel like sharing right at this moment]

Everyone has a different-sounding hear--er, rhythm. Yours... sounds relatively dissonant, to be honest [slight frown]

no problem!

[pink_assassin]

Dissonant. You don't fraggin' say.

[Yeah, probably reasons for that. Starting with J and ending with hiaxus. If only killing him repeatedly could undo all this.]

I'm fine. Fine enough. Why do you even care, anyway?

Re: no problem!

[flutesolo]

Curiosity, really. There are so many new things in this city.

I'll leave now, if you want me too. [she turns to go] I hope you feel better soon.

[She doesn't have a lot of experience with these mechanical people, but from Arcee's spark rhythms and voice, Senritsu does have a hunch that she isn't feeling well right now.]

[pink_assassin]

New, yeah, great.

[Do you hear how unimpressed she's trying to sound? SO unimpressed. So totally not thinking of all that stuff she didn't know out there. Couple of thousand years floating in a prison kind of cuts into one's Discovery Channel time.]

Feel--what? Hey. I'm fine. It'll pass. Just a thing.

[A thing she has no idea what it is, but a thing.]

[flutesolo]

Hopefully not a place-related thing. Those are awkward. [now you get a small, sympathetic smile]. I was off-kilter for nearly two days before I figured it out.
