Test Drive Meme!

[rekindlemods]

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.]

[oh no. America is pretty much the last person he wants to see. he rights himself, trying to stand up straight]

I'm fine! What are you doing here?

[hamburgerhero]

I just said I was going to the government building.

_{[He could swear England's memory was horrible whenever he first greeted him for some strange reason.]}

Are you really okay? You look... tired.

_{[It's not hard to notice the slight paleness and tired look in England's eyes.]}

[unionjackoff]

[obviously he was distracted, he was barely paying attention to what America was saying. more concerned about getting him to GO AWAY. England cleared his throat and turned to continue walking away from the other country]

Is there a crime against being tired here? [huff. looks like there was a set of stairs to go up. ugh. he could make it, but it would take him a little longer. that would be fine were America not here] I haven't been sleeping well! It's no big deal!

[hamburgerhero]

_{[America followed after him without a sweat.]}

I don't know Man. Are you sure that's it? You kind of look sick -like how I've seen others get when they don't get any physical contact. Have you not been getting any lately or something?

_{[It was England after all. America could swear most of his physical contact was probably from those imaginary unicorns nuzzling him. Which amounted to nothing of course. Come on, imaginary friends don't count!]}

[unionjackoff]

[seriously just piss off America. he doesn't stop walking]

I've been getting enough. Mind your own business!

[hamburgerhero]

Hmmmm. Oh really?

<sub>[Well it's not like it would hurt to try...

America continues to walk beside him but now he starts to poke him in the shoulder.]</sub>

Is this starting to improve your health? I bet it is! How about this?

_{[He puts his hand on England's shoulder and stares intensely as if he can will it to spark up some helpful energy.]}

[unionjackoff]

[gah! England pulls his shoulder away, flushing from embarrassment] St-stop it! Don't touch me!

[though it did help. even with that short contact, he felt a little energy return. not nearly enough, though. but the point was that he could feel the energy. and he wished that he didn't, because he hated giving in to the rules here]

[hamburgerhero]

Well did it? Did you feel any thing?

_{["Come on man. Just admit it. I was riiight wasn't I?"]}

[unionjackoff]

[whoa. America is wearing a serious face even. England puffs out his cheeks and scoots away]

N-no! I don't feel any different! You were wrong, as usual.

[hamburgerhero]

_{[Honestly it could be difficult at times to tell apart England being grumpy and telling the truth versus England being too proud for his own good.]}

Well if it's not that, then... Why DO you look sick?

_{[Really now England, every country knows they can't catch regular colds.]}

[unionjackoff]

[well, his economy is pretty bad now, so it could be that...]

I-I already told you! I haven't gotten a lot of sleep. This place... It's hard to be comfortable here. [he can't even feel his people. that concerns him]

[hamburgerhero]

<sub>[There's a simple solution for that!

America quickly grabs him by both shoulders and steers him around in the opposite direction to point him towards the street back to the apartments.]</sub>

Well if you're tired, just let me handle the government stuff!

_{[His usual big smile returns.]}

And go take a nap! _{I bet it would improve your mood too. Maybe.}

[unionjackoff]

[oh, that touching feels nice... NO WAIT]

H-hey! I have questions to ask those bastards! [he moves with America, but once they get to the bottom of the stairs, he tries to plant his feet on the ground]

[hamburgerhero]

All questions you- _{[He pushes against England to try forcing him to continue moving.]} -Can tell me so I can relay them to the people in charge here!

_{[He grunts a little. "Come on England move! Don't make me push you any harder!"}]

[unionjackoff]

[steadfast! though being pushed into America is just giving him more strength. England's feeling less tired the longer they stay together]

I want to ask my own questions! [and raise hell. because yes send me back home please]

[hamburgerhero]

_{[Still that stubborn?]}

I'll ask the questions for you- you're going to sleep!
Don't make me do this the hard way!

_{[At this point neither of them want to lose. England, he's rolling up his sleeves. You've seen him do that before plenty of times- just before he picks up a car or horse and carries it off somewhere miles away.]}

1/2

[unionjackoff]

[England turns his head just in time to see America rolling up his sleeves. and that's when he runs. and he has the strength to run!]

Hey... H-HEY! I can run!

2/2

[unionjackoff]

[but then England is more excited at the fact that he's not exhausted anymore instead of paying attention to his surroundings.

and he runs right into a door]

[hamburgerhero]

<sub>[America starts to run after him but it only takes a couple seconds for England to crash into one of the building doors.

He hurries to England's side again. Normally he'd just laugh but since the other nation was sick, this time America's more embarrassed for him.]</sub>

You okay Dude?

_{[He seriously doubts he is.]}

[unionjackoff]

[he totally does not need America to be embarrassed for him. England is embarrassed enough all on his own. wow.

England wobbles backwards and rights himself again. he wishes he could turn invisible. or at least sink into the ground]

...I think I'll go lie down now.

[hamburgerhero]

Don't worry! The Hero has got you covered!

_{[America grabs him by the shoulders and promptly turns him to face him, then America turns around himself and hunches over slightly with his arms stretched out behind him.]}

I'll carry you on my back like a good comrade!

1/2

[unionjackoff]

..........

2/2

[unionjackoff]

That's not necessary!

[hamburgerhero]

Dude. You're the one who just ran into a door. Don't leave me hanging here.

[unionjackoff]

No! I can walk!
