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.

Really? You are too kind, Sakura-san! I must have been reckless.

[Terra's been watching Beast Boy ever since both of them have arrived, but after everything that happened back home--

Yeah, she's totally not sure approaching him is such a bright idea. Even if there's a chance that he's beyond her time, or before hers...

So the geomancer has become content with watching him. If there's anything beneficial that came from Slade (why why WHY did she EVER trust him), it's that he taught her to stay out of sight for stuff like this, and do it well.

As she hears Beast Boy's complaint about there only being one pizza place, she can't help but grin a little. Oh, BB. That's just like you, isn't it?

For a moment, she's tempted to just come out of the shadows. To show herself and just... try to fix things. It's never too late--Beast Boy himself told her that, back home.

But...]

[redjacketthief]

Well, your mission to the West is just going to have to wait for a while then--sorry.

If it's consolation? Years spent here doesn't even amount to seconds back home. You don't need to worry about the revival happening without you.

[arcadianvampire]

Rest assured, he will not.

Hmm. That sounds like your typical arrogant human who vastly underestimates what they are getting themselves into by messing with the darkness.

[An angelic enough form to begin with, shimmering with an unearthly light, a man stands confused in a field, looking about. He'd been running toward the gate to the world below with Goku... and now he was here.

Had he made it? And why did he have strange little white wings on his back?

And where was Goku? That was the most important thing.]

Goku? Goku?!

i miiight need to renew my paid /sob

[erodedbutterfly]

[Responding by means of writing and covering up her camera with her other hand--Terra's not ready to show herself, but she can't help but crave interaction with someone who used to be her friend.

...maybe that's kinda pathetic.]

I don't know, I kinda like how peaceful it is around here. Sure beats how things were back home for me. [Since those things were, you know, her fault. There's no measure of guilt that could describe how horrible she feels about all of it now. How much she wishes she could take it all back.]

So, stink ball huh? [Okay, pretend like you don't know what it is, Terra... you may have enjoyed playing, but Cyborg's not suppose to know it's you. Get it together.] Mind telling me more about it? Sounds interesting.

[heardyoucall]

[That's promising... but even so.]

The others. What are my chances of seeing them here?

[redjacketthief]

The odds are random--sorry.

...I've had all of my friends here at some point during the last eight months, but we haven't all been around at the same time. As it stands? Only one is left here in the village, for now.

[drawnbythesword]

[Asbel's fond of happy hour on occasion. Sometimes, he just needs a drink.

One of those times is now which is why he's coming to the bar today. But then he spots those purple pigtails standing in the middle of the bar. And they look oh so familiar.]

...Sophie...?

[erodedbutterfly]

[If Terra remembers correctly, she was one of the few (if not the only one) back home that didn't mind Starfire's strange meals. In fact, she remembers--very fondly--being excited for each and every one. In that respect, Starfire and Terra had been a perfect match. Starfire's weird meals were a good fit for Terra's equally strange tastebuds. Well, that and Terra wasn't too picky--traveling all over the place and sometimes not eating much for days will do that to a girl.

But now, things are different. Even if she had been planning to stop that volcano and save the friends she had previously betrayed back home, she's here now. Here, and with no clue where Starfire had been taken from. Would it make any difference if she knew, though? Terra's a traitor, and she doesn't have the courage to face Starfire or any of the others.

So she's standing nearby, out of sight, watching Starfire parade down the street in the cheerful manner the blonde will always remember her possessing. As tempting as it is to just go over there, try to laugh with Star and eat strange things like they used to... she knows she better not. It's never too late to change, no, but she hasn't done anything to earn the trust she destroyed back yet, either... and she has no clue where to even start.]

[tsuntrader]

...Who're you calling a kid?

[heardyoucall]

I see.

Where are the lodgings I'm to stay in?

[drawnbythesword]

[Asbel was passing by when he spotted Pascal working on the fountain. Gurl watchoo doin'?]

Pascal? What're doing to the fountain?

[drawnbythesword]

[What a coincidence that you're at the grocery store, Hubert? Because Asbel is also at the grocery store! He's also grabbing rice, but he's not getting eggs, no. Instead, he's getting meats, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, and spices for curry, because curry is the greatest!]

[piealchemist]

[Hmm, is this older woman interested? Rorona's used to her students being much younger, but she certainly wasn't about to ignore a question because of that. So! She smiles brightly, nodding.]

That's right! Do you know about alchemy?

[piealchemist]

Raise them?

[ ...!! ]

Hey! Wouldn't you be raising them only to eat them? That's way too cruel!

[arcadianvampire]

I fail to see how that's any different from raising livestock.

Besides, any sardines under my care will receive the best treatment available while they grow! And not all of them will be eaten! There is an ocean here, if possible, I would prefer to have a natural population grow as well.

15 icons is hard

[cannoneer]

[It's kind of weird that someone is talking to him like this via writing. And he can't even see who it is. But his curiosity loses out to satisfaction. At least somebody is interested.]

Well, you made the stinkiest wad of a ball you can, right? And then you throw it at everyone else. Think of it like dodgeball, only you can smell when you're losing.

1/2

[piealchemist]

Oh ... Yeah, I guess it's the same thing.

[Now she's going to feel sad about eating meat for all of maybe an hour.]

[piealchemist]

[... But then one key word throws that train of thought to an entirely different set of tracks.]

... Hey, did you say there's an ocean here?

[arcadianvampire]

Hm? Yes, the town's introductory guide stated that there's one beyond the mountains. And supposedly, there's a way to get there instantaneously. Guess someone learned how to mimic Dimensional Gates.

...Say what you will about humans, good or bad, they do prove to be remarkably resourceful.

especially with the fifteen they left me with /sob

[erodedbutterfly]

That does sound like a load of fun. Totally nothing wrong with a little stink, right? I mean, it's not like you can't get washed up later or anything.

[...]

So, did people play it with you? I mean, back where you're from. [She knows the answer to that. But she's not supposed to know, here. Here, she's a stranger to Cyborg.]

[piealchemist]

Wow, really? That sounds just like the Warp Gate I made! [Not that she has it here ... maybe she'll find the ingredients some day!] I wonder if an alchemist was responsible for that ocean short-cut, too ...

[... She didn't even hear what Val said after "Dimensional Gates". Now she's on a new set of tracks - "Could there really be another alchemist here?!"]

[livesinatree]

What's electricity? [Y U P...]

[arcadianvampire]

...Warp Gate? Are you saying you developed technology capable of mimicking Dimensional travel yourself?
