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.

You're very welcome. [He leans into that kiss, still grinning. Even if she knew he would eventually agree all along, he'll take that reward, thank you very much.]

Oh, it can be that hard. Kids will play with anything with bright colors and moving parts. I assume. But I'm usually right when I assume.

[He doesn't exactly have firsthand experience with what kids play with.]

[Somehow Pepper doesn't think he'll complain, no. And it's good to reward Tony when he admits Pepper's way is the right way, even if she knows it's coming.

...And okay, she likes kissing him. Not that she'll be saying that out loud, because Tony doesn't need the ego boost. But she is still smiling when they part.]

Bright colors and moving parts? Gee, that isn't anything like the toys you play with. And of course, no one has ever described you as a big kid.

[alloys]

[He opens his mouth to protest, but--] Okay, point. But I think there's something to be said about the fact that no one can afford my toys. That, and being a superhero? Not all fun and games. Well--[a smirk]--most of the time.

But your desk-kinetic-moving-sculpture-thing? A toy. Definitely. Unquestionable, really. Ask anyone. That I choose.

Avengers Spoiler!

[handing]

No, I wouldn't call it fun and games at all. You do know that I worry when you're off doing I don't even know what, especially when I only have some tv reporter going on about you guiding a missile through some alien space portal that leads God only knows where.

[Her smile's getting tight, Tony. Right at the corners of her mouth, in that way that says she's probably not going to be smiling for much longer.]

Right. And will you be choosing anyone over the age of twelve?

[alloys]

[He frowns in a mock pout. Well--mostly mock. He really doesn't like the idea of making her worry. Part of the job description, but he still doesn't like it.

So he'll reach out to take her hand in his with a little reassuring squeeze.]

Hey. At least I tried to call that time. [...] And maybe. I don't exactly have many acquaintances under the age of twelve, you know.

[handing]

I don't know if that makes it better or worse. [Because seriously, how bad did it have to get for Tony to call her?

Still. That touch helps. Pepper mimics the squeeze.]

Maybe meaning no. [Okay, now she can smile again.] It doesn't matter. Since I actually want to keep it, it's not going anywhere near your lab.

[alloys]

[Pret...ty bad, admittedly. But hey, things worked out, right? Crisis averted.

He'll just hope he doesn't have a repeat performance anytime soon.]

And once again, I'd like to point out that I'd only make it better--but if that's not your kind of thing, alright. That's fair. Keep your desk toy.

[handing]

[Yes, let's not do that Tony. Pepper likes it much better when he's safe and sound.]

Thank you, I will. [And in one piece on top of that.]

Come on. There's still a pile of artwork to move. [And the promised reward, but somehow Pepper doubts Tony needs to be reminded of that.]

[alloys]

Right. How could I forget.

[Oh no, he didn't. So he'll help move that artwork. Mostly. Without begrudging it.

Just as long as he gets one piece of artwork of himself in there sometime...]
