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.]

They?

[Well, so much for being able to let go his concerns. His steps slowed, his gaze and mind both focused intensely upon Lucas. It could have been just about anything, but...

Ramza was hoping his own suspicions weren't correct. That it was nothing like the fiends he had to face.]

Pray tell more, Lucas.

...

[Feeling Ramza's eyes on him, Lucas couldn't help but feel a little bit self-conscious now. Never mind that he was asking him to explain what had transpired the last few years, the boy wasn't really sure if he wanted to bring it up right now.

He certainly wasn't smiling about it.]

...the Pigmasks. They ruined everything. Before I came here, I was going to see their leader. I... I have to stop him, before it's too late.

[heretic_hamlet]

[Pigmasks. That... was a new one.

He'd expected demons, or armies, or some such answer all too familiar to him... but knowing that the problems and threats of his homeland were not so widespread was bittersweet comfort in the face of his new friend's misery.

He crouched slightly, a hand on Lucas' shoulder.]

...Forgive me. I ask overmuch of someone who only just arrived.

[timidtwin]

No it's... it's okay.

[Ramza didn't know anything about what had happened after all, he was just curious and likely concerned. That was a good thing, that he cared enough to ask.

There was a lot to go through for him to get the full picture however, and some of it was just too painful for Lucas to go into right now, especially with someone he had just met. He tries to offer a smile, no matter how small, to reassure his new companion all the same.]

I haven't really had a chance to stop and think for a long time. It can get a bit overwhelming, but it's not your fault.
