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.]

::Silly England! What's wrong with you and not wanting hugs, anyways? He sees you looking exhausted and sick. If only you'd accept hugs, you'd feel better now.

Well, since he's so awesomely caring and generous, he'll just fix your problem for you. But don't expect him to be this magnanimous again.::

Yo, England! ::A strong hand claps down hard on England's shoulder, planning to spin him around and pull him into a hug.::

[what's with all these people surprising him? he jumps and quickly pulls away, defensive. and then he spins around]

Oh. It's just you.

Wh-WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN JUST ME?!!!

::HUFF. HUFFFFF. HE IS BEYOND OFFENDED BY YOU RIGHT NOW, ENGLAND.::

[good. because Prussia offends England too. they can have a big old offend-fest.

he huffs as well and looks away. dammit, he's tired. he doesn't like anyone seeing him weak]

What do you want?

I was going to be the most generous and incredibly helpful person that you know I normally am, but after an insult like that I don't think I care if you pass out in the street 'cause no one else wants to hug your sorry ass.

[you can actually see England's eyes widen. ouch. that hurt. now he has to hurt back, because that is his way...]

At least I've gotten hugs before. You can't seem to get any back in our own world.

::Ow his heart. HIS HEART. England you are a jerk.::

Uh, hello, I get plenty of hugs! Italy loves me, and West is totally fine with being hugged if he knows what's good for him. And France definitely. Uh.

...Well, if you count ass groping as hugs he's a very touchy-feely person! So I get plenty of love!

[you are also a jerk!]

Yes, you certainly get around, don't you? [mumbled. was that a hint of jealousy? of course not, because that would be contradicting what he said in the first place. Prussia is a lonely idiot hmph]

::An awesome jerk!::

Ja! Unlike the sad and lonely you, everyone wants the incredibly cuddly me! And here I am willing to tear myself away from my adoring public to help you, but you're being a stick in the mud.

I don't need your help! I'm perfectly fine on my own! [that's why he looks pale]

Riiiight. ::Can you hear the derision in his voice? Of course! He's not exactly being the most subtle person about it. He's rarely subtle.::

So you normally make me look like I've got a healthy tan? Good to know!

What?

You. ::Pokes at his cheek.:: Are as pale. ::Pokes at.:: As me. ::Poke.::

Not that I'm not flattered. Who wouldn't want my incredibly smooth and radiant complexion? But it's weird on you!

[oh. those pokes. they actually feel warm but they don't last nearly long enough. maybe Prussia's finger is just hot? wishful thinking.......]

I... I'm not pale! [but he tries to subtly look down at his hands]

::Prussia just grabs for one of England's hands to prove his point. Pale!::

[hfdsjkgh warm hands! though England's palms are kind of sweaty. he looks at their hands. matching color?]

::Definitely matching colour. Though, ew, sweaty hands.::

Kesesese~ That flustered by my awe-inspiring presence?

[he quickly pulls his hand away]

I need to go. I have things to do.

Not looking like that you don't! C'mon, you need a hug! Get over here! ::He follows that hand, stepping into England's personal space with open arms.::

[geh! he tries to move out of the way but it's a little too late. Prussia manages to get his arms around England.

and it's so nice and warm]

::This is really the nicest part about the hugs and touching here. It's all comfy and warm and leaves him with a lingering sort of fuzzy feeling inside. If hugging always felt like this, then maybe people wouldn't go to war!

Which was a tragic, horrible thought to an old war-monger like him, but so long as he was snuggling ~~England~~ someone here he could see the appeal.::

Ahhh, there we are~

[England doesn't even try to push away because it feels too good. he can feel the energy returning to him, his strength and his magic. he slumps against Prussia, nuzzling his neck in thanks. obviously, he won't thank him out loud]

Shut up.

::What? Can't be kind enough to feed Prussia's ego as well as his energy levels? Oh well. He'll just have to prolong the hug; especially with that cute nuzzling! Honestly, how could such a cute guy be so grumpy?

It was probably the eyebrows. Those eyebrows were enough to make anyone bitchy.::

Make me~

[no, he was not going to make you. certainly not on the street in the middle of all these people. but England will let the hug go on, until he feels strong enough to move away. and nothing more.

well, maybe a little longer.

a little more] ♥

::Ohoho? Did that mean that maybe England didn't want to shut him up with fists?

Well, whatever the reason for the fact that beatings did not commence, Prussia was going to take full advantage of the situation. And keep on hugging.::
