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.

Something like that.

[He opens up a panel on his forearm to run some readings.]

It helps to know your own hardware being like this.

Can't resist *apping*, right? Right?

[cannoneer]

Yeah, I think I kind of get the picture. I'm not so sure these ingredients are gonna capture the taste you're going for.

[cannoneer]

[Frown.]

You're one to talk. You ever read anything not about magic?

[azarathmetrionzinthos]

[ ...oh no. ]

I'm not sure that any mortal 'communal food preparation stations' can handle truly delectable Tamaranean food, Starfire.

[azarathmetrionzinthos]

Yes.

[ ... ]

Lots of things I read are only partly about magic.

[handing]

[Right. Pepper will absolutely let Tony go with that next time it comes up then. Since he's mastered it.]

...Tony, why would I hang it above the bed?

[She knows why. It's Tony, and it's obvious. But she wants to pretend she doesn't actually know, or maybe thinking exactly that.]

[livesinatree]

Nope!

if you do that Guy or Dist will have to repair you!

[tenerezza]

[ Given the circumstances, Susanne felt she's been doing a fair job of maintaining her composure, though mild shock might have had something to do with her ability to keep going. Up until Asch mentions the word 'years' that is. Her pace slows as they near the clinic and she pauses at the door to give him a confused look. She must have misheard him. If they had spoken not even a couple months ago, how was it possible that Asch has been here longer? It's just not a concept she can easily grasp without knowing more. ]

I don't understand what you mean... Asch.

[ The name still feels foreign to her and takes a bit of extra effort to say. ]

[Artemis has been around for a few days, getting used to things. After some thought and meditation eh decides to test making a written entry.]

Malnosso. Quite the grim name for our esteemed overseers. I wonder if they were aware of the implications of their title within the bounds of latin.

But then, how trustworthy can a group of kidnappers be no matter their professed goals?

[He's aware of the irony of that statement considering his past actions.]

[Artemis is sitting in the tea shop, writing in a notebook he liberated from the item shop. His cup of earl gray is cold and long forgotten beside him as he works on some calculations that are incredibly advanced for someone of only 15.]

If only there were a way to triangulate whatever force they use to connect to worlds...

[He lifts the cup to his mouth and makes a face as he realizes that it is cold and decidedly less pleasant this way.]

[cannoneer]

Only partly doesn't count.

[fowlplots]

With the proper parts, it wouldn't incredibly difficult to construct one.

I'M IN SHOCK FROM YOUR FACE

[toosmalltoeat]

[that's not creepy at all]

Well-

Um, thank you. For your help. [But Vivi totally doesn't want to keep this guy out here, he seemed like he had places to be. Vivi can just be in the forest in the dark alone. It's no big. He's not afraid of the dark or anything!!!]

[somethingtoavenge]

Sadly I do not know how to construct one. I should remedy that.

What parts are needed?

[fowlplots]

The parts depend on the level of shock you want to inflict. For a standard civilian grade model...

[Artemis scrawls some rough schematics over the guide and forwards them to Coulson and a list of parts needed.]

However I wouldn't recommend building it yourself unless you're experienced enough at working electrical currents that you won't accidentally kill someone.

[azarathmetrionzinthos]

Mostly, even.

[somethingtoavenge]

Depends on the situation really.

[Civilian? Well isn't that interesting phrasing. Phil looks over the list he receives. He could find these things with little difficulty. Somehow.]

Or shock myself. Hm. It isn't a skill I have.

[He could ask Tony. That would be... interesting. But...

Are you experienced?

[So what if the other person is a kid/youth/younger than Coulson. Looks can be deceiving.]

[toosmalltoeat]

[OH GOD. She looks scary. And angry.

Vivi grabs hold of his hat and pulls it down further onto his head. He tries not to look so pathetically frightened and he thinks he succeeds.]

I-I-

I'm sorry- I didn't mean to knock you over-!

[...okay so maybe he fails miserably.]

[fowlplots]

Quite experienced.

[He's built compact super computers, a taser is nothing. But he isn't about to brag to a total stranger.]

However, I don't work for free.

[somethingtoavenge]

I see.

[More and more interesting.]

The best rarely do.

[The good might work for free, but the best... it's a line they tread.]

So, What do you want?

[quippage]

[Excuse you, he's like sixteen. There's a huge difference. Guy grows a lot in one year.]

Okay, menace? Strong word. I'd go with something more like... hero, savior, spectacular. Better choice of words.

[quippage]

You and everyone else. [He can relax, just a little. If this guy was open enough to see about that, then maybe Spidey doesn't have to worry about cleaning up some claw wounds later.]

The Bugle's got the right pictures, but the pickle puss in charge pretty much prints the opposite of what happens. What can I say? It's like a tabloid sometimes.

... He probably doesn't like me calling him pickle puss either, now that I think about it.

[fowlplots]

Seeing as currency is nonexistent in this place... a favor owed will suffice.

[Because there is a line between proper compensation and exploitation and Artemis tries to skirt it and be better than he was in the past.]

If that seems a fair transaction, then we can be in business.

[snikting]

[Logan does not look overtly convinced. Though he is weighing the information. Mutants tend to get the same wrap, after all.]

So you're blaming it all on bad publicity? Convenient.

[azarathmetrionzinthos]

[ glower glower glare.

actually in a way this is kind of nice. it makes her feel more like batman.

but come on, kid. ]

Watch where you're going next time.

[savedtheworld]

[Ooc: I believe there's more lol, although I guess that could be around the amount belonging to just Tenzin's fmaily.]M/small>

That's awesome! If any of them wind up here, Appa can have a new playmate. I know that'd make him really happy.
