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 just continues to hold him close, honest to goodness tears beginning to fall from his stinging eyes. He'd never truly allowed himself to cry save for the time he thought Goku had died... so it still felt strange and new. He rubs Goku's back, pulling him closer.]

I'm not sure how the gate works, Goku... I know we were running toward it together. I assume we made it through as I don't remember anything else.

[He winces in pain.]\

The injuries I had then are still here, though... including the wound from that... bastard Li Touten...

And Tao can't forget you either.

[Pigtails! Pink pigtails. And cuteness.]

The pleasure is mine, Pao-Lin. [Though his voice hardly sounded pleasurable, he simply said it for formalities and nothing more. However, it does seem that she intends to be friends again. Not that he can complain, but he doesn't exactly know how to be social.]

How long was my absence from this place?

Humans generally prefer things to be dry... Now, if you will excuse me, I should really shut down where this water is coming from. And, please, don't worry about that.

It's better if this drains.

[Well, isn't that a familiar face! Hubert will actually not ignore him and will confront him and his ingredients for curry. Not that Hubert will complain, after all, he knows it's his brother's favorite meal.]

Ingredients for curry, I see.

[Statin' the obvious there, lil' bro!]

Hmm? [Huey looks up from his journal, gaze flicking to the Phantom Book sitting nearby, then back to the older lady.] I'm sorry. I actually don't know. It's my associate who normally keeps track of the names of these and I've yet to see her around here.

[She can't help but wince, her own wings curling up against her back at the thought of giving one of them a firm tug.]

To remove both wings means death. I don't know why or how it works but you should never try to remove them.

Oh, thank you! That would be very kind of you.

[And she beams at him, her expression full and warm, as if he were doing her the very greatest of services.

...Now if only she had actually told him what she was looking for.]

Um ... ehehe ... well ... kind of.

[ ... ]

I-I'm sure that, if I could just see a landmark of some kind, I could get us out of here. Really!

Sort of ... I can make parts for things if I have a recipe for them, at least! So, not so much "fixing" as helping out, I suppose.

What is it you're looking for, Miss?

[No worries, he's officially on a mission now, which means he'll ask and get it over with... right now. And feel good that he helped a stranger. Something about doing his civil duty despite not being in his world. It's been branded in him as a soldier.

And that's a very lovely expression she's giving him, but his smile doesn't budge. He just pushes against the bridge of his glasses]

I have no other way to take the news.

[Other than to make a run for it in the night to find a way out.]

Gogyo. Not Gojyo. It was the place I found you, Goku.

[Thankfully, Presea was ready for this. She readjusts her stance and position a little and raises her arms up. It's easy after that to snatch the child from her fall before she comes to any kind of harm. She's much lighter than anything Presea's carried or held before, so she doesn't feel much strain at all, even from the impact.]

Are you all right?

Are you sure? It might be kinda tough, but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to work that way.

[After all, sometimes challenging games are the most rewarding when you do win.]

Understood. [That's good, that he's been informed - by his friends no less. Though sleeping out in the forest isn't exactly a wise choice, all things considered. If Moro still lived in Luceti's forests...eh. Presea remembered her to be the unfriendly type.] If you are fit to set out, I...can accompany you, if you desire. I am familiar with this place...and have been recently returned.

[It may take a moment or two to remember everything all at once, but she's actually doing pretty well so far.]

Well, I found out from Cheria that you'd been sent home near the end of February, so...maybe like four or five months ago?

[Fellow patron at the bar. He overhears her offer. He's not bad with a hand of cards, since his pokerface is the same scowl he always has, but she's right. The place is dull.]

What kind of chores you got in mind?

[...She's gonna drive that old- ...Well. Okay. Whatever works. Well there's his good deed for the day. Should he head out now...?]

[You can't go unnoticed by Wolverine, who ends up staring at the webslinger in his little hammock. He's also standing on the roof half of that web is connected to. Now, as he hears it, Spider-Man is a menace to society. A real monster. But then, so are the X-Men. Time to put that to the test. He kneels down by the strand connecting the hammock to the building and unsheathes his claws. Close to the web.]

Nap time's over, bub.

[Go ahead: it won't be successful.

The resignation in Sanzo's tone was noted, but Lupin couldn't help but poke at it.] That's a very mature outlook on this.

[My spidey sense is tingling! That's no good, and Spider-Man knows it. He jumps up a bit, standing on the hammock with the balance of a circus act.]

And who are you supposed to be? The nap time police?

[Whoa. This- this is kind of intense. Billy tentatively waves back, unable to stop staring. He's not seeing any recognition, though, so it's probably safe to assume that this Spiderman isn't from his time.]

Um... hi. Are you new here, or have you been around for a while?

[He can't just come out and say that he's been here for awhile, because he's only been around as Peter. Can't have the personas all mixed up over something as simple as... well, a different world.

Okay, not so simple.] Brand spanking new. Nice place you guys got here.

[Pfft, nice indeed. Billy scratches the back of his head, glancing around.]

Yeah, give it some time. It might just make you rethink that.
