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.] |

Sync the Tempest | Tales of the Abyss | option one
For now, he has his pants legs and sleeves rolled up as he trudges around in the water. There are no means of actually swimming as much as looking for something in the water. Oh yes, he has a bucket to keep him company. It actually has a dent in it because the previous owner didn't know how the fuck to take care of a bucket or something. At least the bucket does its job of being a bucket.
He moves a little closer to where the water and land meet, glancing over when ... maybe someone happens to be nearby and not moving along or trying to swim with lame ass water wings. Or something.]
What?
no subject
[Sync stares back at the kid who shares his face and way of speaking. He's a replica, so this is not usually alarming, but none of the other Ionlings ever did what he did.]
... Which one are you?
no subject
[What the fuck is an Ionling.
There are three possible things that this shit can be right now. There's option a which assumes that this is a mirage. Option b is a speculation that he's suddenly on the shittiest high ever. But option c is obviously the least dumbest and this is real. Why is this choosing to be real? What do you think, bucket? Glancing down at the bucket as of now-- but the bucket doesn't reply. It's a fucking bucket.
Sync lifts the bucket over his shoulder to look at the distorted mirror over there.]
What does it matter?
[Because, duh, he obviously wasn't the one chosen for the raffle of a particular title. Or maybe he's the chosen one in disguise! Imagine that shit.]
no subject
Still, this matter bears some investigation.]
It doesn't. But if the third one crawled out of the volcano, someone would probably want to know.
there's a long list of apologies in this post
...Yeah. You thought you could escape? I'm sorry for that too. Ember spots that green hair from the shore and SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH out into the water like an idiot. A really happy idiot.]
Sync! You're here!
[Hearts gonna break in three... Two... One...]
no subject
Looks like someone acquired a refund on that shitty haircut. Whatever, not his problem. But he does have the mind to back up. Some clearly isn't working this out too well in his favor but that doesn't mean much to Sync, either. It doesn't even seem to be much of an attack. Seeing how hardheaded this person is it can't be a simple change in tune.
Fuck it, whoever this is.]
No, I'm clearly over there.
[Dumbass. He's going to use the hand that lacks a bucket to place on his own waist.]
no subject
It hurts. Kind of a lot, if he's being honest.]
Look, if this is about what I said on the ship -
[It doesn't even cross his mind that this might be a different Sync. They're best friends - that's indisputable, right?]
no subject
[He's hardly interested in this split end mess. So emphasize this point, h leans over to reach into the water to grab something to deposit in his metal bucket.]
This isn't Auldrant. There's nothing of value to be fought for here. So shut your mouth or I'll do it for you.
[And at least he glances up.]
And don't stand around with your mouth open. A bug's going to fly in it.
no subject
[Anise looks over her shoulder (she totally hadn't just turned away, nope, no sir) and flashes Sync her most innocent smile. Now why would he ever think she'd be up to something? She's totally the most innocent person in the river right now.]
What are you looking at? I'm not doing anything.
[...of course, the second he so much as looks away she's going to splash him. Violently. And if he looks back? She's going to have the innocent act going full-force again.]
no subject
[This is very necessary to share with her, of course, despite the fact he hadn't intended on even going in that direction. A crisis needs to be dug up, somehow. But it seems she is going to be doing the favor of making up something for herself.
...Water. Because he totally wasn't wet already. His hair's maintaining shape and not threatening to stab him in his eye so things can be worse.]
Ow, Anise, that really hurt.
[Totally. And now he's going to share his catch of the day with her. He forms a better grip on the bucket's handle before flinging it. Well, not to throw it. That would be stupid because he'd be short a bucket. No, he's going to share the rocks he has collected if any of them actually hit her.]
no subject
And then -]
If a little water hurts you that much, you're not a very tough God-Genera-- OW!
[She brings up her hands to shield her face as the rocks come flying towards her. Oh, that's it! She definitely has to teach him a lesson. She puffs her cheeks out in anger as the rocks smack against her and then sink into the river with a series of plops.]
Don't go throwing rocks at ladies, you jerk!
[...then again, Anise isn't much of a lady. Case in point: She's lunging forward to try to tackle him and shove his head under the river's surface.]
