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.

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

[The kid starts to shake his head but stops. Maybe this is a change for their story? In that case Mount Gogyo would equal Mount Kaka, right? Even though that's not how they met, Goku understands they can't go around saying how they really met if they are hiding.]

Oh, yes! Mount Gogyo! I remember, I was born there and lived there until we met and you took care of me because I had no family! ... Is that right?

[If it wasn't for that last question one could have thought the kid was honestly remembering that. But no, he's just trying to make sense of things without thinking about things he doesn't want to think about.]

[Sanzo bites his tongue, quieting. He looks about for a moment.]

...Goku, I don't think I'm the person you think I am.

[Inside, his heart was clenched tightly with a pain he didn't recognize. Certainly he missed Goku; certainly this Goku was the same young boy he'd taken in... but the timing was off. They'd never met. Even he knew that. Maybe in a past life if such things happened, but for now, no. This Goku knew someone else.]

And I want you to tell me what you honestly know. No secrets or lies. You can tell me everything.

[Goku shifts at that, obviously uncomfortable and confused. Did he give the wrong answer? Or is this a test to see if he would back off from the story? He's honestly confused and lost.]

... Hakkai didn't make so many questions, you know. You're Sanzo, aren't you? And we met in Mount Gogyo, and you take care of me... And we're friends with Hakkai and Gojyo.

[He pauses in the litany of repeating things without really believing them or knowing them. He thinks for a moment, trying to remember something else, anything... He frowns, concentrating. For well over a year the kid had tried to live with just the present in mind, because thinking about what happened hurt and confused him and he couldn't know what the future would hold for him. So memories were soon discarded for him. Still they were there so he tries his best to remember even if he doesn't understand why they are doing this. Luceti is a safe place, at least safer than Heavens was, it's not the Heavens army that they have to worry about when in Luceti.

He really hates complicated things.]

We were on an important travel, to the west. In Shangri-la.

[It's still obvious that it's not his real memory what he's fishing that from, or rather than it's something we was told. He tries to remember more but it's tiring and hurts his brain and his heart because he really didn't want to think of that. His patience is feed up so he shakes his head and groans.]

What does it matter anyway?! You're here after so long, I've been waiting and waiting and you just give me all those difficult questions. It's stupid! You're being stupid! Hakkai was stupid too! Luceti is a good place, we're safe here so we don't need all this stuff, really! No one cares who we are so why bother?
