Test Drive - October Edition
 The October 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. |
Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it: |
Option 1 |
[ With the return of fall comes somewhat cooling temperatures and the phasing out of all summer clothing from the shops. There's an assortment of colder-weather clothing being put up; sweaters, jackets, scarves, gloves, boots - you name it, and it's visible in the mannequins out on display. With the return of fall also comes the return of the fall sales - all store managers are offering discounts for those that come in to purchase in pairs. ] |
Option 2 |
[ With the changing out of the summr clothing to fall also comes the shift from the fresh fruits of summer to the gourds, apples, and warm spices of the season of harvest. Cinnamon and nutmeg can be smelled wafting from cafe's and coffee shops, tempting anyone passing by to come in and sample the wares. Like the clothing stores, they are offering a discount for those that purchase in groups of two or three. ] |
Option 3 |
[ There seems to be another festival in the works, if the stands being erected in the Fourth District are anythign to go by. There still seems to be a lot of work to do, and the citizens would love it if a helping hand or two were to be offered. One stand that seems to be fully erected and hard at work is one dedicated to carving what looks to be the Saeng Seong equivalent of a pumpkin into traditional lanterns. There are still a number of these gourds waiting to be carved, and once again the citizens would be delighted to have any number of volunteers aiding them with the task of carving. ] |
Option 4 |
[ Fall in Saeng Seong also means rain; lots and lots of rain, usually from out of nowhere. Luckily, the city is used to this phenomenon, and has had several small awnings built in strategic locations around the city for waiting out the wet spells that hit so frequently. They're only big enough for two or three people to take shelter under with moderate comfort, but that doesn't seem to bother anyone. Hope you don't mind sharing the space with a stranger for the duration of the weather, unless one of you had the foresight to bring an umbrella. ] |
Option 5 |
[ 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 6 |
[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.] |

No, what catches his eye the most are the cats, and it's not even the amount of them.]
I must say, your pets are very well trained! Most cats I know wouldn't be out in this weather!
[Not that he knows most cats...]
no subject
They're not my pets. The one in my coat pocket is.
[At the mention of that, little Banchou peeks out and meows a greeting.]
no subject
[...okay, that's a little strange.]
Regardless, they appear to like you.
[That has to mean something.
...Or maybe he just smells like food.]
no subject
[They are his Cat Army and some will come to sniff at the newcomer. Is he a good person...?]
no subject
As a few of the cats begin to approach him, he bends down and begins to strum at his guitar again, smiling at them like one would a child. And what better song for a child than a children's song?
...In Spanish.]
Estaba el señor Don Gato
sentadito en su tejado
marramiau, miau, miau,
sentadito en su tejado.
Ha recibido una carta
por si quiere ser casado,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
por si quiere ser casado.
Con una gatita blanca
sobrina de un gato pardo,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
sobrina de un gato pardo.
El gato por ir a verla
se ha caído del tejado,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
se ha caído del tejado.
Se ha roto seis costillas
el espinazo y el rabo,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
el espinazo y el rabo.
Ya lo llevan a enterrar
por la calle del pescado,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
por la calle del pescado.
Al olor de las sardinas
el gato ha resucitado,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
el gato ha resucitado.
Por eso dice la gente
siete vidas tiene un gato,
marramiau, miau, miau, miau,
siete vidas tiene un gato.
[This isn't the first time he sang for animals and it certainly won't be the last; he doesn't seem to care how weird this might look.]
no subject
You're good.
no subject
Thank you very much.
[There's just a final strum or two before he stands himself back up.]
Just because the weather is poor, doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to enjoy ourselves.
no subject
It's just finding the right idea that stumps people.
no subject
[Music is universal, after all, it takes a stone cold heart not to cheer up. Even just a little...]
If you don't mind me asking, why are you out in this rain?
no subject
No it's fine. I just like being outside, even on a day like this.
