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.

...Mm. It's been a few years now since I arrived here.

[The touch on his arm doesn't go unnoticed, though it is for the most part not really acknowledged. It's been a long time since he saw her, and even then his previous meeting hadn't even lasted an hour. It's... awkward, seeing her. He wants to love it, he wants to be happy. And he's doing his best to be the strong, confident young man that he's damn well tried to become, the sort of person worthy of the throne of Kimlasca even if he'll never get the chance to sit on it. The sort of person who the original, proud Luke fon Fabre he'd once been, full of dreams and aspirations and hope for the future.

But.

I'm not Luke.]

[ 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. ]

[Asch doesn't look at her at first, unsure of how to respond. It's not as self-explanatory as he'd like, but at the same time, what else could he say?]

...Like I told you, time works differently in this place. You could be trapped here for years without losing a minute back home.

[ After a moment's consideration Susanne nods. That's an explanation she can follow without further details or clarification. Though she gives Asch a smile, the fingers on his shirt tense uncertainly; he may prefer it left at that but avoiding the subject would only make life difficult later. ]

I see. You must have started a new life in the intervening years. Is that why it troubles you to see me again?

[He tries not to wince, he really does. There are reasons upon reasons that he's acting the way he is with her. So, so many reasons. But it has been four years since he'd last met her, and before then, a full seven years of total separation, when she'd been someone else's mother. Of course it was going to be... awkward.]

...Just forget it, you shouldn't concern yourself with me.

[He pulls open the door, moving to guide her into the clinic. His discomfort is getting more obvious.]

[ She may permit being ushered inside, as her steps are still a touch unsteady and a seat would be appreciated, but her hold remains firm. There won't be a repeat of last time. Not so long as she retains enough strength to talk. ]

There is no reason why I should not.

[ Confidence of this fills her voice, though Asch is welcome to try all he likes to convince her otherwise. ]

[Hnn. Well, he can't do much other than try, so that's what he'll do.]

There's no reason why you should, either. I'm fine.

[Technically? He is. Despite the flaws of this world, it's offered a much better life than Auldrant thus far. ...To an extent.]

It's just... strange. To see you again after so long.

It would be a disgraceful mother who doesn't worry about her own children.

[ Once comfortably situated she pauses to fix a level stare at him. Familiarity comes with time, and until then she can always search for cues on how to best proceed. The first steps are always the hardest. ]

That's to be expected. Sit down, please, Asch.

[Her request makes him hesitate again, and for a moment he can't figure out whether he'd wanted to stay by her side or flee in panicked desperation. He's not ready for this. He is completely, unquestionably not ready for this conversation.

No matter what it might be, he really isn't.

But he sits.]
