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.]

do you mind a random Guy fan? :3c

[outdoor markets are nothing out of the ordinary to England. that still doesn't make this unplanned trip better, no matter how many things here are similar to things in his world. he's squeezing a few fruits, considering baking something that night. maybe that would calm him down.

oh, should probably find someone to shake hands with before he goes back to the apartment, too.

England moves down the aisle and is too focused to notice that he's getting closer to another person. so he bumps into another man. augh! that's the problem with these outdoor markets. always so busy...]


A-ah! Sorry!
fontechnician: (danger?)

I don't! Sorry for the late response! o.o

[That makes two people too focused on their projected paths to notice each other. He collides with England on the way to a different stand, reflexively grabbing for the other man's arm in case he's been knocked off-balance.]

Ah! My apologies, I didn't see you there...
unionjackoff: (you say yes)

no worries!

[thanks to the stranger, England is saved from falling over, though he probably wouldn't have completely toppled over anyway. he was embarrassed]

I-I didn't either... I've been a bit scatterbrained lately. [sorry sorry sorry]

I deleted the notif for this thread, oops

[personal profile] fontechnician 2013-07-06 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ah. I was distracted. I'm new to this city, and there's a lot of stuff I've never seen back home.

[He lets go of England's arm, since no one's in danger of falling anymore, pausing then moving his hand for a handshake.]

By the way, my name's Guy. Guy Cecil.

[oh! England's surprised. what a friendly guy. he gladly accepts the handshake because, well, that's been his means of survival lately. because he doesn't just hug people]

I'm Arthur Kirkland. [England will not introduce who he really is yet. sometimes his identity can be... jarring to others from his world]
