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.

It was my turn for the rotation . . .

[ the smile causes him to avert his gaze slightly. just slightly. it was almost unnoticeable. ]

The other members of the Shinsengumi are currently out, however.

[ he himself would wait for their return, but seeing as Chizuru had been hard at work for quite a while... ]

[cannotcrossdress]

I see. [Chizuru thought nothing of it, but Saitou was sorely mistaken if he thought she would eat alone.]

If you've already set aside everyone's lunches, shall I help you tidy the kitchen up?

[If there were many words to describe Eiko's mood, sheer annoyance would be one of them. After all, spending your first day in Luceti hanging off a tree branch in some far-off neck of the woods isn't exactly her idea of fun. The look on her face says as much, and then...

... Eh, she'll just let it go. Her expression will relax a bit, and she doesn't look quite as miffed as she was a minute ago. It's not his fault, and she's okay anyway.]

Well, okay. I guess we just missed each other or something.

Re: 1)

[inheavenslight]

[Hello Liar girl Ginia. He offers a sulk and a wave back as he tries to look professional as he rests his chin against the rim of his glass.]

[cannotcrossdress]

[The cat's not the only one following Hijikata. Chizuru knew that Hijikata couldn't manage the entirety of the grocery list all on his own. With his men's appetites, surely he wouldn't mind the extra set of hands?

Though really it's just--kitty!!]

There sure is a lot of...meat in this place. [How very Western. Where's all the fish and soy?]

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia gestures at the seat across from him, silently asking if she can take a seat or if he would rather she leave him be.]

[inheavenslight]

[Permission granted.] Hello once more, Ginia.

[shadedsunlight]

[Ginia takes her seat and sets her milkshake aside. There are a few seconds of silence as she rummages through her pocket for her notepad and her pen and writes out a response.]

Hello again, Judge. How are you today?

[zumo]

[He gives a long sigh before fully realizing he's moping. Sure, nearly everything about Luceti angers him, but there's no need to bring her into it.

So he'll at least go through the motions of becoming the demon vice-commander again. Over tea. A common enough gesture for Hijikata, by now.]

Yeah. That will be fine. [Walls still firmly in place, he rises from the sofa and looks over at Chizuru neutrally.] I'll be in my room.

[He doesn't exactly have the paperwork excuse here, but there's that journal thing, anyway.]

[inheavenslight]

I am still trying to adapt to this new environment. [Yes, he has gotten a bit tight lipped again. It would take a few rounds to get him to be constantly chatty.] And yourself?

[zumo]

Why ask me? [Okay, that...came out a little more hostile than he intended.

Now he glares down at the cat, who takes a couple steps closer to the woman before giving a warning hiss.]

There's only one person he listens to, and it isn't me.

[shadedsunlight]

I have adapted in some ways. It is peaceful here. [The peace and quiet offered by the village in the woods was deeply appreciated. While the peace was ruined in other manners, usually around Malnosso interference, it was still a pleasant change. The only thing she had not yet adjusted to was being known by so many and still remembering so little.]

I like peaceful places.

[cannotcrossdress]

[Everything? At least you weren't alone here, Hijikata. Not everyone had that luxury, it seems.

Not that Chizuru had even half a mind to bring that up, but the fact that he seemed even more sour than usual unsettled her.

His eyes were vacant as they looked to her. He could've been staring straight through her into the other room, for all that mattered. It sent a chill down Chizuru's back, and she had to suppress a shudder.] I will bring it to you there, then...[The last few words came out a quiet mumble.]

[inheavenslight]

I, personally am on edge. Although it is good that you're enjoying the peacefulness.

[shadedsunlight]

If you will forgive me for asking, what is it that keeps you on edge?

Peter Parker | The Spectacular Spider-Man

[quippage]

[The village isn't some place as noisy as the Big Apple, so it's a nice change of pace. Peace and quiet, not much in the department of super villains every single week. And to top it all off, no chance of him being late for school every single day -- even with the use of the whole webslinging thing.

Too bad the buildings aren't as high as the skyscrapers in New York, 'cause good ol' Pete is trying to get a feel for getting around the village quickly. And boy is it hard to do that with such low-rise buildings just sitting around. Jumping form building to building? Yeah, that works. But it's exhausting. That calls for an old fashioned American break.

Everyone might get a good peek of Spider-Man just hanging out in a hammock made of webs, just raised high enough to be out of reach to most. But totally visible in the middle of the village, just up above everyone. At least to an extent.

... Man, it's too quiet. Where's a cab driver honking like a madman when you wanna pass out for a bit?]

[inheavenslight]

I am in a new location, with new appendages that my life depends upon attached to me, in a place where no one has heard of my country or my faith where some faceless being experiment on us.

[Luce takes a sip of his grape juice.]

Please, tell me what there isn't to be on edge about.

[shadedsunlight]

That are you not the only individual who has been taken from your world and brought here, and that despite the uncertainty this place brings, you have a friend from your own world to help you through things.

You also do not need to worry about housing, food, supplies, or clothes. This place is kind in regards to providing things to get by.

[She takes a sip of her milkshake.]

[corroder]

--shhhh! This is an important moment! Look...

[The people she's stalking-- they're almost drinking out of the same cup! A perfect photo opportunity! Though, as she shifts to shush Erika, the leaves part a little and well, never let it be said that Sazanka's a master of disguise. Yellow shows up terribly against dark green.]

[inheavenslight]

Those are basic survival. And as for the Pontiff...Abel.

He will follow me where he needs to be.

[zumo]

You didn't, did you? [Yes, his response is sarcastic and biting, and maybe he'll regret it someday, but not now.

Now, Hijikata allows himself to bristle a little less when ... "Souji" backs away. Discomfort and extreme shock remain, but as he gives the man a good looking-over for the first time (I mean this guy, Okita Souji. Really? Color him unimpressed), the very first seed of curiosity sets in.

Oh, but we're still hostile with our tone over here, make no mistake.] And what'd you expect? I'd jump for joy at meeting another Souji and we'd all go out drinking?

[shadedsunlight]

Do not misunderstand me; I understand your reason for being on edge. However, being on edge so much is not very healthy. [So says the hypocrite and she knows it. There hasn't been a night where she hasn't slept with a knife under her pillow or snapped awake at the sound of footsteps in the hall.]

[inheavenslight]

[Luce just stared at her.] I will be more secure when I am home and I understand everything again.

[weaponry]

No. Lee, I don't. [ She sighs and tosses him a look that briefly appraises his sanity. ] Do you really think Guy-sensei would pull something so elaborate? To trap us with people who torture and bend rules of nature on a regular basis and he'd do it to some of our friends too? This is beyond anything, I mean, this place even had Madara Uchiha for a bit. [ That is just way too beyond anyone for to do if Naruto is struggling with it! ] Why would he want to hide us here? He'd most likely come to us and give su a challenge to see who'd be the first one to levitate with their wings. [ Seems Guy-sensei-ish to her! Please agree with her Lee!! She enjoyed the beauty rest she used to get. ): ]

[shadedsunlight]

[She huffs softly and takes another sip of her milkshake.]

Comfort in familiarity. Then I'll pray you and Abel return home soon.
