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.]

"Have you seen what's outside the city, Jericho?" LeBlanc lifts her eyes to the observation tower. "The guards are quite insistent we can't leave."

And she hasn't felt like ignoring them just yet.

Swain scratches at his chin through the mask, 'hmm'ing to himself. "I found a vantage point and took a look. Ruins, but not reclaimed by nature. Very odd. It lends credence to their story."

The general pauses to straighten his back, grunting. "Also provides plenty of cover for an approaching army. They're either fools or they don't fear attack from outside."

[5percenttruth]

"They can be both." LeBlanc taps a finger against her cheek thoughtfully. More quietly, she asks, "Swain, have you seen any sign of farms while you've been here?"

[corvidinchief]

An eyebrow arches. "None at all. I take it you have a theory?"

[5percenttruth]

"I have wild speculation," LeBlanc corrects. "Based around three facts." She raises a finger with each number. "One, they need energy to survive. Two, there's no discernible source of food. Three, I know what you'll eat under certain circumstances."

[corvidinchief]

Swain laughs. "You think they're performing interdimensional summmonings just to engage in cannibalism? If they've got that much magical power to burn they could just conjure food."

[5percenttruth]

LeBlanc shrugs. "Wild speculation, like I said." She finishes her onigiri. "I'd still like to know where their food comes from."

[corvidinchief]

"Badly enough to investigate, or just idle curiousity?' Swain asks, raising an eyebrow.

[5percenttruth]

What an odd question! "You know I have no use for idle curiosity."

[corvidinchief]

"Well, if you're actually interested in finding out, then it looks like we have a project to work on."
