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.

[Goku pauses, looking a bit wary before he answers.]

... Sanzo?

[The pronunciation is slow and unsure. He looks at the man expectantly, thinking that this may just be a test to make sure that Goku has memorized the correct name and won't slip. If this man is really Konzen, that is, Goku's still not sure, he is very familiar and yet very different as well.]

... Hakkai told me. There's Gojyo and Sanzo and Hakkai. And then there's me, Goku. Right?

[piealchemist]

Well, I don't know about dimensional travel, but I did make something that instantly takes me back to my workshop, no matter where I am!

[heardyoucall]

[He sits down in the grass, looking to the boy.]

I'm not someone you honestly know very well yet, am I?

[It's important to him to know. Goku is Goku. He would always care about him, even if this one wasn't the one he'd rescued.]

[scarfed]

[Well whether she's ready or not, her taking the hat and being a little cheery seems good in Mako's book. In fact he's going to assume that he's in the ok range to try and wrap his arm around her waist]

It looks good on you. Then again, you always look good in anything you wear to me.

Son Goku || Saiyuki Gaiden

[the_brightest_sun]

[He looks up when he hears his name, looking around his playing spot without seeing anyone, whoever is calling for him isn't there, but they are nearby. Goku leans forward a bit, listening again, it's a familiar voice, very familiar and it tugs inside of him but at first he doesn't recognize it, it has been well over a year since he heard it except in his dreams and the kid has experiences a lot of memory alterations to remember perfectly on the first try. Still, the wind brings to him the familiar scent and the kid sets off in the direction of the call. As he runs there he finally pinpoints to whom the voice belonged but he can't believe it yet.

Is Konzen here? Really? Is he finally here? After so long, after not even knowing for sure if he was fine or not... Has he finally make it here with him? The kid stops once he comes into view for the other man, staring at Konzen for a long moment... He expected him to look different, he expected him to have a different name like Tenpou had. But he looks the same as he remembers, the same long and bright hair that shines like the sun, the same eyes, the same clothes, the same face so dull and bored and yet full of emotions that only he can seem to tell, because Konzen rarely ever makes any other expression even when he is happy.]

Konzen?

[The kid calls back almost scared, as if worried that the other would vanish in the next moment. It doesn't last though because two seconds after the call, Goku launches himself against Konzen at full force and speed to glomp and hug the other. It's the best way to avoid him from vanishing after all, isn't it?]

[arcadianvampire]

From anywhere? That is impressive.

...Could you replicate such an item here?

I keep wanting to upload more for Cy as well

[cannoneer]

Usually it was me and BB. Sometimes we could get Robin and Star into the game too. [And once in a blue moon, Raven.]

Pepper Potts | MCU - The Avengers

[handing]

[Option A:

Pepper is in Good Spirits, currently trying to decide how many drinks she needs to handle everything she's learned after arriving in Luceti. Really, the Malnosso could brag about it. It takes something special to break the three-or-more-olive standard Tony inspires on bad days. Or his really creative ones.

Oh, that's a bad thought. Tony trying to out-do the Malnosso. Pepper closes her eyes and tries not to shudder, because she knows Tony's going to try, and probably already has, and now she's here and it's going to be worse because of that.

It's sweet how he shows he cares. Really, it is. Pepper just wishes sometimes that it wasn't also so...problematic? Yes, problematic's a good word, she decides. Safe.

She polishes off her martini, then orders another before munching on an olive.

Option B:

Pepper's been in the village for a few days now, long enough to decide that Tony does not get to keep the entire house looking like his lab if he expects her to spend any significant amount of time there. So she's made it to the item shop, where she slowly wanders the aisles, picking up a few pieces to make the place look less his and more his-with-her-touch at the very least. Tasteful pieces, some of which are already in a neat pile near the front wall, out of the way of other people who might also be browsing.

Vases are a bad idea, probably, given how easily they break. But it doesn't stop her from picking up one and turning it around in her hands anyway, or trying to picture where she could put it so it can both be seen and survive for more than a few hours.]

[piealchemist]

I should be able to ... If I can find the ingredients for it, anyway.

[fatherandsun]

[When he hears Goku's reply, his heart very nearly bursts. He turns, only to feel Goku slam into him, holding him tightly. He drops to his knees to return it, relief overflowing.]

You're here... you're safe... haaa... it's over... we made it...

Goku, we made it together, just as we promised.

[He's never going to let you go you damned chimp.]

[Action]

[toosmalltoeat]

[oh good she's not mad]

Yeah.

[He looks down at her basket and wonders how she was planning on getting that across the village to wherever she was staying. It's kinda full.]

Um- so did you find somewhere to stay? I've been camping because I didn't even know there was a village here...

[the_brightest_sun]

[That question confuses the kid even more. In his mind Sanzo, Gojyo and Hakkai are names that Konzen, Kenren and Tenpou got to hide from the people in Heavens who were chasing them. They also changed their appearances for that, and only Goku was the one allowed to remain with his name and appearance because anyway he wouldn't have wanted another name. But that's all he knows, is there a fake story for why they are together or something?

He frowns, trying to remember things that Hakkai said, any hints as to what is the correct answer to give to that question. Is he supposed to not know Konzen's new identity? But he doesn't like that, Konzen was the one to take care of him, and Kenren always made those jokes about father and son, he hadn't understood them completely back then, he didn't even really know what a father or a mother was. But now he does, he has learned a lot and he understands what Kenren meant and he was right, wasn't he? Konzen was pretty much his father. He can accept other fathers but he doesn't want Konzen to stop being the person who takes care of him.]

... Y-You're Sanzo, you take care of me. Of course I know you well.

[There's a lot of hesitation in his voice, but it's not a lie, he doesn't believe it's a lie, he really thinks that this man is Konzen and thus he knows him well. And he doesn't care what story they are supposed to tell people, but he won't accept any other story. The kid frowns and repeats his words.]

You take care of me, you've taken care of me for a long time, you give me food and clothes and you protect me and help me! And you get angry when I play around your office and break things but you never kick me away or abandon me. I know you well!

[arcadianvampire]

What would it take?

[heardyoucall]

[Sanzo is now worried something else is afoot here. Everything he's just said is very true, of course. When Goku played in his office at the temple of Keiun he would become upset... but something was just off.]

...Goku, were you ever...

[He didn't want to hurt the boy, but at the same time, he couldn't bear to know someone had lied to him or somehow he wasn't privy to the full truth.]

What about Mount Gogyo?

[piealchemist]

Well, let's see ... If I'm remembering right, it should be any kind of high quality jewel, some sturdy lumber, and an Azure Wing. I know I could totally find the first two, but ... the Azure Wing might be a problem.

[the_brightest_sun]

[His eyes sting the moment he feels Konzen hug him back, the man feels solid and firm, real. He's there. He's really there and he's not vanishing or hurt or anything bad. Goku buries his head against the other's body, sniffling in the scent he has missed for so long, memorizing it again, also hiding his face and the tears that are rolling now down his face due relief.]

As we promised...

[His voice comes out strangled, a knot tied in his throat, he can't stop crying but he's so happy. He didn't know one could cry and be happy at the same time.]

You're late, Konzen! Slowpoke! I... I've been waiting for a long time, why are you always so slow? I'm going to scold you for being so late!

[That will be later though, after he's done crying and laughing and clinging to you.]

We're safe here. They can't find us here!

[sthenic]

Nah...


Anyway, maybe we should stop today. I get a feeling you're still not feeling like yourself.

[the_brightest_sun]

[Goku just blinks.]

Gojyo isn't a mountain. He's tall but he's not as tall as a mountain, I remember Mount Kaka was looooots taller than he is.

[toosmalltoeat]

...I wonder if Zidane's here too.

[arcadianvampire]

Where would we get one of these "Azure Wings", then? The effort to get one for an instantaneous transportation system within this cursed bubble would be more than worthwhile.

[livesinatree]

You've been here for that long?

[piealchemist]

Well, they're just sort of lying around in some of the more dangerous areas of my world, but ... that's the problem. They're in my world. I haven't seen one here yet.

[... She also hasn't taken the time to look beyond the stores in the village, but still.]

[arcadianvampire]

That doesn't meant they're not here, though! If food products and other trivial items make their way here from various worlds, there should be no reason we cannot try to find one of these Azure Wings!

It might merely await someone to overturn the correct stone.

[piealchemist]

Hmmm ... You know, maybe you're right. I haven't seen any in the stores, but maybe those Molasses guys hid them somewhere else! I just need to look a little more carefully.

[piealchemist]

[Forests are where lots of alchemy ingredients were in her world, so Rorona's been poking around there, looking for anything that looks like it could potentially be used for something.

... Unfortunately, she hasn't been in Luceti nearly long enough to know where she's going. That'll teach her to go it alone! But it's during her wandering that she notices what looks like a campsite. There's a campfire, and some ... kid?

Hmmm ...]

Umm, hello? Excuse me?
