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.

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.

[heardyoucall]

[Sanzo realizes he no longer cares.]

Where am I to sleep? I believe I asked this before.

[redjacketthief]

Any one of these buildings here, as long as they're not all ready occupied. I room on the sixth floor of this one, but everyone's a little loud in here. If you like quiet? There's some empty houses around here.

I think.

[heardyoucall]

[He stands there. Surely you don't expect him to escort himself there.]

[redjacketthief]

[...he did. Sanzo seems like a smart man.]

Come on--I have to drop this stuff off anyway, but you can get an idea of how the community houses are built too.

[heardyoucall]

[He moves to follow the other, taking out another cigarette and lighting it.]

[redjacketthief]

[Lupin leads the way, chattering the entire time since the man doesn't seem like a talker.] It's six floors up, so it's a bit of a hike if you're not used to it. Fortunately, my girlfriend from home is also in this building, and I've met lots of cool people in here during my stay so far. A few of them are kiiind of warrior monks from space. You might like them.

There's also a lady on the floor above me who has some very impressive fighting skills and some really nifty armor, and some chill people on the lower levels.

[heardyoucall]

Too many stairs. I'd rather sleep on the ground floor.

[Irritated, he slowly his pace slightly, not sure at all about this.]

[redjacketthief]

[Lupin slows up in kind.] You can do that too. The apartments here are nice; three bedrooms, a sitting room, full bath. The kitchens need to be shared on every floor, but there's enough restaurants to eat out a lot of you're not much of a cook.

[He shrugs.] It's your call. No one cares where you pick as long as it's not all ready taken. Nothing wierder than walking in to a stranger making himself at home.

[heardyoucall]

[He sighs in frustration.]

Is there one on the ground floor or not, Lupin?

[redjacketthief]

[Ah, so it wasn't rhetorical.]

I think there might be one left; the first floor was pretty full the last time I checked, but the bit of flooding we had recently might have scared a few away.
