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.

[Choose your own adventure, boys and girls.

a) Abed is in the grocery store. In the cereal aisle. See, even with bags, he can only realistically carry five or six boxes of cereal. The problem? He wants to carry more than five or six boxes of cereal. At this rate, visiting the cereal aisle at the grocery store would be a very frequent occurrence for him. Hmm. And now he has to pick what to take and what to leave behind. Does he go with the irresistible soggy Fruity Pebbles, or the sensational crunch of Cookie Crisp? Captain Crunch, or Count Chocula? This is going to be tough. He could use some help deciding.

b) Boxes of cereal selected, Abed may have gotten a little over-ambitious anyway and needs a hand carrying these home. It's a classic pilot episode situation, after all. He'd be a little surprised if no one did come help him, honestly.

c) Abed is now enjoying the fruits of his labors, sitting in the plaza on the bench with a bowl of cereal in hand. This is almost as good as watching television. Even better, in some ways. Who knows who might bump into each other here; it's fascinating. Captain Kirk is going to meet Indiana Jones any second now. He can just feel it.]

a!

[Dude, you're blocking the aisle.]

Excuse me.

[Would you mind moving? D|]

1/3 I think???

[Turning. Okay good he could really use a second opini--]

[televisioned]

[...Okay internal freak-out over. This is Rogue. He is face to face with one of the X-Men. Do you have any idea how many questions he has had prepared since childhood should such a moment arise?

Many. The answer is many questions.]

Can I ask you a question I've always wanted an insider X-Man answer on?

[touchofrogue]

[Rogue blinked. She wasn't used to being so casually recognized, though she knew she did exist in other worlds. Still.]

You can ask, sure. Don't know if I'll tell ya - might be someone's secret.

[televisioned]

[He realizes this could be one of many incarnations of Rogue, but eh, some things are universal, you know?]

Do any of you guys actually like Jean Grey, or do you just act like it because that's what the writers want you to do? I know, I know, there's exceptions. But I'm talking in general.

[It is of utmost fandom importance.]

[And in possibly only one of five times that Rogue has genuinely laughed in Luceti, she cracks up right now.

Give her a minute.

Oh my Gawd, she loves you.]

[televisioned]

[HE IS PERTURBED. But making her laugh was a good thing, he's sure. Rogue wasn't exactly the comic relief character.]

Should I take that as a yes? My friend Troy and I have a bet running.

[They also have one on who would win in a fight between Rogue and Wolverine, but at least he's tactful enough not to ask that yet.]

[maldoran]

You're staring.

[ vala stops, mid-step across the plaza. ] I was taught that it was awfully rude to stare at strangers. Granted, I was taught it rather late in life, but...

[ now it's her turn to stare. ] Are those Froot Loops? Oh, I love Froot Loops.

[televisioned]

[...Was he staring? Oh, yeah, he does that sometimes. Moreso when he spots characters from list of most beloved television series.

He actually might not even be blinking. That's not too out of the ordinary, though.]

If I offer you some, will you follow the usual situational trajectory and have a pleasant, over-a-bowl-of-cereal chat with me, or will you rob me blind while my back is turned and make off with the rest of the box?

[maldoran]

What? Steal from you?

[ she takes a casual, comfortable seat next to him -- peering into that box of cereal. ]

You must have me mistaken for some other achingly beautiful woman. One who steals. I certainly do not do that.

[televisioned]

[Well, he's pretty much 99% sure this is Vala now. Not to be confused with any other characters he may or may not adore in the science fiction universe played by Claudia Black.]

No, I don't think so. You're Vala Mal Doran. From Stargate SG-1. [Pause.] Though depending on your timeline, you might not consider yourself from SG-1.

[...Oh. He should probably be careful about these sorts of things. Spoilers, and all. He doesn't want to spoil people.]

[maldoran]

[ many people might be bothered by this sudden identification. not vala, no. ]

Oh! I see my reputation precedes me. How lovely.

[ sneaking her hand around that box-o-cereal. ]

C!

[teenwonder]

[This guy's doing a terrible job at hiding the fact that he's stalking. Just staring at people in broad daylight -- pff.

Robin's just going to be there, behind Abed. Judging.]

You need something?

[televisioned]

[He turns. Of course, he should have known. Someone's always watching someone who's watching other people.

Except no one watches Robin. That kind of defeats his whole gig.

But he can really hardly contain his glee right. Too bad it's pretty impossible to tell that.]

I'm not sure how to answer that. Do you need something? [Dude say yes. He wants to know.]

[teenwonder]

[He needs a lot of things, but that's not something he's going to share with the average peeping tom over here.]

I need to know what it is you think you're doing spying on people.

[televisioned]

[Of course. He should have expected this. To varying degrees depending on which Robin this is. He's still weighing the options on that one.]

I'm not spying. Spying is done discreetly. Usually with the aid of binoculars or a periscope. I have neither.

I'm people watching.

[teenwonder]

Some people don't appreciate being watched. Take it elsewhere.

B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skaterbrain]

[Classic pilot episode? Beat's totally cool for that. Sup there, BirdFace. Have a skateboarder rolling by on his skateboard, staring at the skinny kid loaded up with way too many boxes.

He sliiiiides on past and then eventually comes back around for a second run, stopping a few feet away.]

....Man, ain't you never heard of a shoppin' cart?

Yeah!!!!!!

[televisioned]

[You know, he's definitely getting a video game character vibe from this guy...so he's just going to stare for a second. See if he can figure it out. But it's not coming to him. This is vexing.

Oh, right, question.]

They usual tell you to not take those out of the store. Is that cool here? [This place would be so great if that's the case.]

Booyeah!!!

[skaterbrain]

[He stops and pops the board up, catching it in one hand.]

Yeah, s'cool. ...probably. Everything's free anyway, so it ain't nothing big to take it, right?

I'd like to buy a vowel.

[hastheknowhow]

[She is just working on supplying her new-found apartment, but it's hard to not notice the number of boxes this young man has.]

Now really, isn't that enough?
