Test Drive Meme!


Welcome to the Rekindle 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.

Then don't forget to go reserve your character in a week when they open.

Here's some prompts to help you get started, if you need it:
Option 1
[With summer coming, the water level in the river is starting to go down, exposing some of the riverbank. The Riverside Shack is open late, and its restaurant is pulling out all the stops and offering seafood specials (even though a river is a far cry from an ocean). The rental store, meanwhile, is finally bringing out more of its swimming supplies, inner tubes and pool noodles, and a calmer stretch of the river has been roped off with buoys for swimming. They even have lifeguards chairs set up. Clearly this sort of thing used to be an annual event.

It's not quite an ocean beach (quite different actually), but there's still plenty of chance to have fun in the water. Or teach someone to swim, perhaps.]
Option 2
[With a new district available to the public, there are new places to visit. However there are also questions with each new arrival. One may find themselves headed for Saeng Seong's town hall and government buildings in search of answers. Whether it be more reasons for why they're here, or simply looking for an attorney to sue the unnamed scientists that brought you here.

(However, they may be slightly prejudiced to this one. You've been warned.)]
Option 3
[There are certainly a lot of different options for shopping in the city. Perhaps one of the more interesting and eclectic of these options, however, is the outdoor Marketplace in District 3. All sorts of fresh food stalls line the large open area, with different aisles that can be walked down. There's food of all kinds here - fruits, diary, vegetables, and so on and so forth. Some of it will likely be familiar, but other kinds may be so foreign as to be unrecognizable - a orange, seemingly hollow kind of fruit with holes like swiss cheese, for example, or salad greens with leaves the size of heads of pins. You are on a different world, after all.

So wander the marketplace! Discover something new! And perhaps meet other curious people such as yourself...]
Option 4
[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 5
[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.]

[And you know who gives an awful lot of fucks about Sync? It's this guy.

At first he sees the green hair and assumes it's Ion - the kid is always sick somewhere, fact of life - but the clothes are wrong and -

Oh. Oh a lot.

There's no apologies to the townspeople Ember practically runs over once he gets over the initial shock. Whoops, time for that later. There's also no possibility in Ember's mind that this might be the Sync from the other Auldrant, but honestly, he probably wouldn't care.]


Sync! Are you okay? When did you get here? Are you hurt?

[Pardon the fact that he's gotten a little more hands on with finding his answers to those questions, carefully pulling at Sync's coat to check him over. It's another side effect of graduating to General Ion Herder.]

ember nooo

[Sync straightens as something with flaming red hair comes running straight at him. He has the decency to look surprised and then he's being coddled, manhandled, whatever the fuck you want to call it. He tries to push Ember away-- not violently, but reflexively, and then the complaining starts.]

Stop, stop, stop! Ember. Stop trying to take my clothes off.
flamesfanned: (Eheheh...)

[personal profile] flamesfanned 2013-07-03 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not - I'm just trying to make sure you're okay!

[And seemingly, he's passed inspection, because Ember drops his hands away. He'd wrap this idiot in a hug if not for the way it'd probably end in him getting kicked in the face.]

I'm just... Really glad you're here.
deprivation: (∲ suspicious that this string is moving)

[His cheeks pinken-- unfortunate, because that means he's ducking his head and turning away so Ember can't see.]

Don't say such stupid things.

[ghghghdffdg.]

Besides, you don't need anyone. Stop acting like you care.
flamesfanned: (Uhhhhhhh)

[personal profile] flamesfanned 2013-07-19 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
What -

[Sync. Sync you're being stupid. Ember's torn between getting angry and just giving his friend the hurt puppy look.

In the end, the hurt puppy look wins.]


Of course I need you. You're my best friend.
deprivation: (∲ why have you come?)

[personal profile] deprivation 2013-07-20 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[NOT THE HURT PUPPY LOOK OH GOD. Sync hunches his shoulders, a gesture he may have picked up from Ember.]

Shut up!

[It hurts to say that to his only friend, but there it is. He can't take those words back.]

If you really needed us, then you wouldn't have left. The only one who has use for me is Van and you won't even let me do that!
flamesfanned: (That's....)

[personal profile] flamesfanned 2013-07-20 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[...Ouch. Yeah, that one hurts, and it's obvious on Ember's face when he glances away. He did leave, but - ]

I'm not going to let Van hurt - not going to let him kill the people I love. And that includes you.

[So...Deal with it, Sync.]
deprivation: (∲ you are a stranger here)

[personal profile] deprivation 2013-07-22 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
What?

[Wow, the L word. He hasn't heard that... ever. He stares at Ember like he's a complete idiot-- because he is.

Sync has no worth. There's no worth to be found for people who are outside of the cycle. Discarded replicas like him-- and Ember, isn't his only worth tied to Van, too?]


That-- that doesn't make any sense! If you want to stop Van so badly, then why did you leave?!
flamesfanned: (Once a brat -)

[personal profile] flamesfanned 2013-07-22 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, did you choose to come here?

[Seriously, Sync, use that head of yours. The sass deactivates quickly enough, though, because this is actually serious.]

I mean it. You're my best friend, and there is nothing that would ever change that.
