the luceti test drive meme

Reserves have just opened and apps are right around the corner. But are you still on the fence about any of your would-be characters? Well -- here is your chance to take them out for a spin!

▣ TAG IN or reply to others with characters you would like to test drive for Luceti.
▣ ONLY add top-level comments for characters who are not yet in the game. You're free to reply to others with Luceti characters (because that's half the fun) but remember that the whole point of this meme is for potential characters.
▣ PLEASE do not post duplicates of characters already in Luceti.
▣ GO AHEAD and give us a brief description of your character in the top-level comment, along with one or two possible ways to run into your test-driven character around town.
▣ YOU MAY use these threads for your first person samples on your app -- just make sure that you link threads of a goodly length (i.e., threads with at least ten comments from your character).

Need a little help getting started? Remember, you needn't post here as though your character is still brand-spankin' new. It'll probably be more fun for all involved if this isn't a simple dress rehearsal for showing up. Here are a few scenario ideas:

o1. The grocery store is out of food. What do you do?
o2. Wing injury! Call for help or stagger your way to one of our fine clinics.
o3. It's a busy evening at Good Spirits, one of Luceti's local bars. Do you dare try the drink specials?
o4. Have a talent for playing music? Try Cloud Nine's open mic night!
o5. Beach party? Snow party? Leaf-raking party? Gardening party? YOU DECIDE.

Okay. So my examples are pretty non-exciting. But they're really just suggestions. I'm POSITIVE you kids can come up with more creative things.

Above all? HAVE FUN.

[ he simply watches her from the doorway, as she goes on with her business. it's a little surprising that she continues to bother with the housework, but it isn't something he won't appreciate.

in any case, like Souji, he won't make an attempt in trying to divert her attention over to him. if she notices him, she notices him. that was that. ]

[markofthebrave]

Probably artificial.

[She shrugged.]

I don't think they use actual dairy in it.

No problem~ No spoilers from me.

[doubleblades]

[Oh gods, just what is that lady wearing? With her chest revealed like that and so much thigh showing it's quite clear Hubert is distracted by her. But she also looks lost, which means it would be quite rude to let the lady continuing on wandering through the store like this.

Oh dear, just how does he approach? Excuse him, he will just be staring intently at her and her less than appropriate public attire all while clearing his throat.]

[captainhornblower]

The village finds pirates "noble rebels," the anarchists drag us into battle so it is fight or let others die, and I announce my status as a captain in His Majesty's Britannic Navy but do not put my ship in danger by calling her a Navy frigate with England's colours.

[They aren't excuses. They're explanations. He expects no pardon, but he will explain himself to his commanding officer.]

aaaaaa

[hastheknowhow]

[Whoa. She saw him do that! That, that was magic! She'd know it anywhere. Screw mannerisms, let's get straight to the point:]

How on earth did you do that?!

[Oh drat, he noticed her. Okay, compose self, go to make a more neutral conversation. One not about their problems or Korra and she can just go on with her life (though, she decides, this whole avoiding him thing is frustrating so she's going to make good for a redux of their argument in the kitchen soon, just on better terms - so probably not right now) And-]

[toosmalltoeat]

Y-yeah. I was just surprised.

[Okay straightening big floppy hat- wow holy crap this guy is huge. Vivi stares up at him and then immediately ducks his head a bit, stepping back a couple feet to give Zack plenty of room to pass by.] Sorry.

[powdersup]

[...Then the hat thing happens. It's so cute. She smiles a bit to herself, because though it was an accident, he's still coming off as being thoughtful, and that's enough for some of her anger and embarrassment to be shoved aside for the warm feeling she felt for him before Korra was kidnapped and Bolin told her the truth he was still hiding from her]

It has been bright out here.

[powdersup]

...Well if you recommend it, I'll try the root beet.

[zumo]

[Tact is that thing where your vice commander punches you in the face.

He's not doing that now, though. Even though he really, really wants to.]

Shut up.

[...Yeah, the classic Hijikata response. And now he's turning to walk further into the store. Can't. Deal.]

Thank you! I'm currently doing that "DO ALL THE SIDEQUESTS!!" runaround thing. Good times. XD

[lostinmyway]

[Grune doesn't notice the staring, but the clearing throat does eventually get her attention. When she finds the source of the sound--what a nice-looking young man! --she gives him a bright smile.]

Hello!

[Someone else is at the grocery store today, also loading up on one particular item. Pao-Lin's pretty justified in her hoarding of spicy things, though -- they're the only foods she can remotely "taste" at the moment. If burning her tongue off is the only way to experience anything resembling flavor, then she'll take it. Good thing she never had anything against spicy food in the first place.

As she swiftly strides past the aisles, trying to ignore all the shelves of things she can't really enjoy anymore, Pao-Lin almost doesn't notice a certain blunette in one of the aisles.]

[corroder]

[And just as Erika does that, there's a click and flash goes the lightbulb.

...whoops?]

[When she does see Hubert, however, she has to stop and stare for a moment in shock. Could that really be him...? Well, there's no question -- his hair color is hard to miss, not to mention that frou-frou military uniform of his. But even with Toph having come back after a few months, and knowing that other people returned to Luceti every now and again, Pao-Lin honestly hadn't expected to ever see him again. Her stormy mood? Suddenly a lot sunnier -- ]

[markofthebrave]

Two root beers, then!

[Katara takes them off the shelf.]

Let's go drink them outside.

[Where the fresh air can help and maybe Asami will feel less trapped.

It's so easy not to deal with how this strangeness affects her when there's someone else to be concerned about.]

[zumo]

[What the...

It's an old lady. An old foreign lady.

Oh well. She gets the same response as everyone else who wonders about this.]

I can't exactly tell him where he can or can't go. And he's been following me around all day. [His tone makes it obvious how Unhappy he is about this.

...Then, as an afterthought:] And he isn't my pet.

[admiralpellew]

Do you argue with me, sir?

[catus_carnival]

[Hard to forget someone like her, really.]

Tao's so happy you do, meow!

3/3 sob

[i_am_not_cute]

[ -- as she runs over to her returned friend, boxes of curry in her arms.]

Hubert! You're back!

[Oops. Someone didn't stop to think about whether he'd actually remember her this time around.]

[captainhornblower]

No, sir.

[A hard swallow.]

It is a sorry state of affairs for any captain to have gotten himself into.

Re: Thank you! I'm currently doing that "DO ALL THE SIDEQUESTS!!" runaround thing. Good times. XD

[doubleblades]

[Well, she is pretty, but still it's public indecency, so his expression doesn't soften. At all. Then again, it rarely ever does. Though he does respond to her greeting.]

Good day. I presume you are searching for something?

[While 'May I help you' wasn't quite there, he's willing to help the provocatively dressed lady. Okay, she isn't terribly bad, but still.]

glomping youuuuuuuuuuu

[zumo]

[Saitou. Finally, someone rational.

Frankly, he doesn't care whether Saitou was talking to him or the cat. The only thing that matters is that this is the only person alive who can pacify this hellish animal.

He nods, visibly grateful, as cat!Toshizo gives a loud meow and trots over to the other man, weaving in between his legs.]

Saitou.

[doubleblades]

[And Hubert just blinks at her, his expression not betraying surprise in the least. Just who is this girl and why does she know him? Thinking for a moment, he tries to dig into his memories to see if he ever encountered such a girl, but nope. He's not coming up with anything. But still, he's not going to be rude either.]

My apologies, but I don't seem to remember you at all. However, yes, I am Hubert.

[But he will be insanely blunt.]

[i_am_not_cute]

[WAIT WHAT OH NO gurlfran this is Pao-Lin's favorite tracksuit, whhhhyyyyy]

Eugh! [She flinches away with a frown after Pascal wipes the gunk on her clothes, looking down on it with disgust. She can take a lot of things that maybe "typical" girls can't, but this is pretty damn disgusting. Plus, her favorite tracksuit fglakjflkdajlfkjadlkgjadgdag. She can't even wipe it off with water from the fountain because Pascal replaced the water with chocolate.] This is pretty gross...is it going to come off? [It damn well better, sob.]

D

[hastheknowhow]

[Childish-looking or not, Miss Price is all eyes and ears. She narrows her eyes at the sign briefly, pulls out her glasses to make sure she is reading it right, and then moves back to look at it again. Then at the "girl".]

Alchemy lessons?
