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.]

What [ Gamora says carefully, twisting the toy gun she'd had shoved into her hand unceremoniously around until she's staring into the barrel of it. ] is the point of a gun that does not kill?

[ Yes hello Peter Quill, Gamora is here and by your side as if she has the ability to seek out her prey that borders on a supernatural power. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. ]

Jesu-

[The man looks temporarily possessed a moment, giving a little jump at Gamora's presence. Can't a man just sit and enjoy his shaved ice without any assassins (whether on his side or not) sneaking up on him loaded with guns?

Okay, maybe not lethal guns, but let's face it--Gamora could still kill him with it if she really wanted to.]

Yes. Hi.

[Thanks for taking 3 years off his already short Earth life.]

And they're called squirt guns. Those right there? Super Soakers, to be specific. People -think- they're just play toys for Terran kids, but--[He shakes his head fondly]--We played to kill.

[stabstab]

That is an exaggeration, as I doubt you were trained from childhood to survive a life or death contest with your peers. You would have died if it were true.

[ The fact she's not even bothering to hide her smirk is probably a decent sign that she's fucking with him, but it's delivered in her usual dry tone. The instructions had been 'use it to cool off', but a quick glance at the volume of the gun indicates that the actual amount of water a simple 'shot' will give won't make much difference. Hmm. ]

They're not an effective weapon, Quill. But-- [ She picks up a water balloon from a stall, holding it in her hand and testing the weight. ] these will do.

[...Right. No one in the galaxy has a sense of humor. Or at least no one but Rocket, and he'd much like to live without that.]

Yeah, we tend to do that! It's ah...what's the word...hyperbole. Figure of speech.

[All this while not even taking a moment's break in eating his shaved ice. But his chewing slows when he sees her bounce that balloon in her hands. He's no genius on survival (heck, he grabbed an Infinity Stone with his bare hands) but even now he's got those hairs standing up on his neck.]

Don't. Don't you even--Gamora.

Swear.

I can pull these suckers off my legs before you can bl--okay the next time you blin--WOULD YOU JUST LET ME FINISH.
