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.

[Your style. He approves of it.]

That's right. There's several people here who are in the middle of dangerous missions in their homes, or on the brink of death. At the very least, you'll never have to worry about time here.

[heardyoucall]

[He nods.]

It would be better if those idiots were here. Even if they're frozen in time, it's not something I want to leave to chance. They'll find a way to do something stupid; I'm sure of it.

[redjacketthief]

You don't have much faith in your...ah...servants, do you?

[It amuses him greatly. Unfortunately for Sanzo, he speaks 'gruff and taciturn' fluently.]

[heardyoucall]

Not at all. If you knew them as I do, you wouldn't either. Bunch of lousy shits.

[redjacketthief]

[He laughed.] They sound damn fun, actually!

[heardyoucall]

...they keep things interesting, at the end of the day.

[redjacketthief]

Sounds like they're the best kind of people to have around.

[heardyoucall]

They have their moments, albeit few and far between.

But they're the only ones I'd be able to tolerate going anywhere with anyway

[redjacketthief]

So you're a team?

[He chuckled; he understood that sentiment too.]

[heardyoucall]

More like they're my servants. As I said.

[redjacketthief]

Servants...teammates...it's all the same in the end. You work together.

[He shakes his head impatiently.]

Maybe they'll show up sometime soon. If you're here now, that means we still have a few more weeks when new people show up. If not now? They might in a few months. It's almost seasonal around here, really.

[heardyoucall]

...a goddamn vacation, is it? Haa...

[And yet he's irritated. He's always irritated.]

[redjacketthief]

Who said it can't be a working vacation?

[heardyoucall]

[Sanzo pauses, then breaks the flow of conversation.]

...you really do look like a chimp, you know. Is that on purpose?

[redjacketthief]

[deadpan:]

...why does everyone default to monkeys?

[heardyoucall]

Your hairstyle. You can't deny it gives your a distinctly monkey-like look.

[redjacketthief]

Watch some movies some day--this is totally a Humphrey Bogart or Roger Moore kinda look!

[heardyoucall]

Were they also monkeys?

[redjacketthief]

They were actors and gentleman. You seriously need to watch more movies.

aw. now he's teasing him.

[heardyoucall]

...

Monkeys are able to both act and be considered gentlemen in your world? I'm not certain I'd enjoy those kinds of movies.

lovely~

[redjacketthief]

At least sit down to watch Casablanca before making judgement calls.

[heardyoucall]

Are you upset?

[Look at that face. He's laughing at you without even laughing, Lupin.]

[redjacketthief]

Only irritated for Bogie's sake. He deserves better.

[heardyoucall]

...Bogie?

[redjacketthief]

Humphrey Bogart. It was sixty years ago, and media casters back then liked to give people nicknames. Bogie was his.
