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.

That's a great idea Sophie! Maybe we can even use thish thingamabob to find Little Bro'sh sense of hoo- Huuuym... Funny side! Yeah, we can use it to find that!

[So from her back pocket comes some tiny little device that looks no bigger than the pigeon communicator. It looks like a radar with tiny little 'blips' all over it showing where the others are.]

Looksh like our first target is riiight ooover there! [POINTING. OUT THE DOOR.] Let's go go go! [Go go go very slowly though, walking is kind of a hard thing to do right now.]

[technobabbling]

Lemme see, first I got up this morning and was dying for something sweet. I went to bug Cheria to whip something up but she kept telling me 'But Pascal, it's way too early for banana pie get out of my bed!' or something like that, I dunno. Then I remembered that there was this fountain right here! So of course I think to myself 'heeey, there's a fountain here and there's a fountain in the Amarcian Enclave!' so the only natural thing to do then was to turn it into a chocolate fountain. Theeere's your answer!

[There you go Asbel. That's how she decided to make a chocolate fountain. All very simple, logical thinking.]

[technobabbling]

Bzzzt!! Ooh, it's all over at the last hurdle. Thanks for playing, hope you had a blast!

[Oh please, no one fails when they're with Prof. Pascal! Or wins... Or really achieves anything, who would want to learn from Pascal of all people?] The Sophie I know has these two pigtails and she can really pack a mean punch. The Captain, AKA Malik, is this guy who throws a sword like a boomerang and his cryas artes are way less flashy and kaboom like than mine!

You mean Hubert the walking glass-es cannon?

[technobabbling]

Oh, better idea! What if I turned this baby intooo... An ice cream fountain?! [...] Iiit would have to be the soft scoop stuff, no duh, but then you could totally dip cones into it and get some sprinkles in here. Oh man, you could even get some banana splits going!

[This is now a fantastic idea and it's all thanks to you Grune.]

[arcadianvampire]

[He thinks he catches that guilt. Who doesn't have some, somewhere? But there is something strange about this man.]

Oddball isn't the term I would use, but I suppose it is fitting enough. ...But the look on your face tells me you've made some mistakes of your own.

[His tone is actually not... that accusatory. Simply matter-of-fact.]

[ps3pirate]

[The moment Patty's feet touch the ground, she straightens up and dusts herself off, even though she didn't quite need dusting. Then she grins up at Presea with a completely unconcerned expression.]

Don't worry! I was just taking in the surroundings, ya know! It's like they say, you can't call "Land ho" 'till you climb up into the crow's nest!

[i_am_not_cute]

Oh, you know Asbel? Then you must be from his world.

[i_am_not_cute]

[Fair enough, Professor Pascal would be a nightmare. not that that would stop Hubert from taking all her classes ever]

The Captain really has a boomerang sword?

[Wow, Pao-Lin doesn't even care about the "less flashy" part, the Captain has a boomerang sword. Why does everyone from Ephinea seem to get badass weapons? SHE IS SO JELLY.]

[markofthebrave]

[Katara considers herself fairly well-versed in Luceti weirdness. But that was a phrase she wasn't expecting.]

Grangran who now?

[catus_carnival]

Then I think she is, meow!

[how does her logic

what

what just happened]

[jerkblood]

[There's a familiar voice in the darkness. He knew she would be here and is both unsurprised and amused by the spectacle he witnesses.]

Temper, temper.

[crabletteer]

Hello there. [As if she wasn't just staring creepily from behind the rack...] Are you looking for swimsuits?

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru smiles in relief that her duties hadn't caused any disturbance, and she sits back on her feet, folding her hands into her lap.]

If that's the case, maybe you'd like some tea or something to nibble on? [She folds her washcloth over the pail of soapy water and swipes the back of her hand beneath her bangs. She could probably use a bit of break herself, come to think of it. She just hadn't had a reason to stop and grab a bite to eat before Heisuke came along.]

[wan]

[ Nekoshizo, no. no no no. go back to Souji already... Saitou has his priorities! he would give the animal a threatening glance, if it were not for the fact it was named after the vice-commander. stop being so hard to ignore, geez. ]

. . . We will adjust to what is available. [ they can start a garden or something!! since there is... not much to do, anyway. ]

Though it may take time. [ picking up a box of granola bars -- how does one bar constitute as your breakfast? ]

[wan]

[ ... ]

That is my job to tend to.

[cannotcrossdress]

[A perfectly characteristic response to an otherwise mundane task. Chizuru shouldn't be surprised that Saitou takes all matters with such seriousness.]

Would I just get in the way? [She couldn't think of any other reason why someone wouldn't want the help...]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes, I'm sure he will.

[And scanning down the list now....]

[wan]

[ considering the vice-commander had set up these rotations, his dedication wasn't something that was supposed to be surprising anyhow. ]

No. [ bluntly. ] But it is not something you should burden onto yourself.

[cannotcrossdress]

But...

[But what? Chizuru couldn't really come up with any sort of protest that would change the reality of the situation; Hijikata had put everyone on rotation, and, as could be expected, the captains were given considerably more responsibility than what she perceived as getting herself.

It didn't seem fair to them. Cooking was something she was used to helping with, why why didn't they let her take care of domestic matters? They had so many other concerns, after all...] I want to help...

[wan]

[ they had promised to take care of her -- it was only natural. ]

[ there's a distinct beat. ] If it is something you are adamant on, then I will say nothing else to deter you.

[ he won't be leaving it to her completely. it was something he was assigned to, so it was his role to see it to the end. ]

[hastheknowhow]

[She stiffens up at that remark - she's only inquiring, you don't have to be so defensive.

The cat is distracting, though, and she looks down at it inquisitively for a few seconds - oh how that hiss reminds her just of her own cat. After a moment's thought, she cautiously gives the man another question.]

And... who would that be, then?

[hastheknowhow]

[Oh bother, she caught her - well, however frustrated she is about that, she is not showing it, and she will just calmly respond to the inquiry with a light apology.]

I'm sorry... I am still not quite accustomed to the normalcy of magic in these parts.

[hastheknowhow]

[Ah... slightly disappointed, but her curiosity is not deterred.] Does it not have a title?

[cannotcrossdress]

[Chizuru smiles, her mood quickly picking up at Saitou's acquiescence.]

It'll get done so much faster this way! You'll see...

[She picks up her cleaning utensils and nods to Saitou, gesturing him to lead the way.]

[hastheknowhow]

[She looks up - oh my, there is a child at her seat and she didn't even notice. Well... she guesses there's no harm in answering.]

Yes, very interesting; this library has quite the vast array of knowledge.
