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.

[Sup plaza, that's a nice fountain you have there. Water, yeah, that's great, nothing like that timeless classic of water in fountains.

But wouldn't it be sooo much better if instead of water it were spewing out rich, creamy chocolate? Of course it would be, who even likes water in fountains anyway?

So here's a woman covered in foul smelling water and dried on chocolate, assaulting the fountain with a giant hammer of all things in an attempt to make it start churning out chocolate whilst every now and then throwing a couple of bars of the stuff into the water.

An hour or so later, bam, giant chocolate fountain. Aw yeah. How did she manage this? Who knows.]

[i_am_not_cute]

[WELP. Unexpected sight is unexpected on Pao-Lin's way to the Battle Dome for her usual training. She just stops and stares. Is that chocolate? She hopes that's chocolate. It doesn't smell like not-chocolate, at least, but...]

Um...what happened to the fountain?

[technobabbling]

I improved it! [Or at least she thinks she improved it anyway.] There's the big ol' fountain sitting right here, so I thought everyone might like some chocolate to start their day! Instead of water or whatever. People should clean this thing, it was full of green looking mold and all sorts of crap!

[i_am_not_cute]

Then did you clean the fountain before you put the chocolate in it? [Pao-Lin wants to try the chocolate, but... @_@;;]

[technobabbling]

Huh? Oh yeah, course I did. I was up to my arms in that stuff, it was all gooey and kinda sticks to everything you put it on.

[So of course she kept some of the green stuff to look at later. In her pocket of all places. In fact she'll even start taking out some of the green goo to show Pao-Lin right now!]

See, it's all goopy-goopy and really hard to clean up. It's sorta like glue, if you just put a teeny tiny bit of pressure on it-- [Casually wiping a little of the green stuff on Pao-Lin's clothing.] It sticks! [And it smells positively vile to boot.]

[i_am_not_cute]

[WAIT WHAT OH NO gurlfran this is Pao-Lin's favorite tracksuit, whhhhyyyyy]

Eugh! [She flinches away with a frown after Pascal wipes the gunk on her clothes, looking down on it with disgust. She can take a lot of things that maybe "typical" girls can't, but this is pretty damn disgusting. Plus, her favorite tracksuit fglakjflkdajlfkjadlkgjadgdag. She can't even wipe it off with water from the fountain because Pascal replaced the water with chocolate.] This is pretty gross...is it going to come off? [It damn well better, sob.]

[technobabbling]

[Whaaat guuurl you don't like it? But it goes so well with your hair!]

You really think so? It's pretty neat if you ask me, and it smells so cool! If you really don't like it though I don't mind takin' it back.

[And so she does take it back, grabbing the blob of goo and yanking it away. There's still a few green spots here and there, and of course the smell, but at least there isn't a giant gooey gross blob of who knows what there anymore!]

Ta-da, just like that!

[i_am_not_cute]

[MY HAIR IS PRETTIER THAN THAT

I mean. Not that I. Care if my hair is pretty or anything.

BUT MY POINT STILL STANDS

Pao-Lin stares at the green gunk in Pascal's hand, wrinkling her nose. Geez, the smell's almost bad enough to make her eyes tear up. Isn't the other girl bothered by the smell...?]

Th-thanks. You should probably throw that away... [Or bury it six feet under.]

[technobabbling]

Yeah, probably! [HAHA no, back into her pocket it goes.

BUT GURL your hair would be like.

20% cooler.

If you had white streaks in it. JSYK.]

Who knows what sorta stuff this gloop can do. Maybe I can use it to burn holes through things! Or leave it in Cheria's bed and hide until she finds it and freaks out all over the place.

[Cheria would love this. No doubt about it.]

Anyhoo, it's probably time to test this chocolate. No point in going through all the trouble of making a choco-fountain if it tastes like bleh!

[i_am_not_cute]

[you're planning to bleach Pao-Lin's hair with that moldy gunk from hell aren't you

aren't you]

Ah, you know Cheria? [Yeah, that's the thing Pao-Lin's fixating on at the moment, which is weird because HOLY FRIG A CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN. Then again, she can't taste anything at the moment (hello death penalty), so it might be useless to her. But maybe it's magical and she might actually be able to taste it! IDK, hope springs eternal, sob.]

Sweet~ Also, I'm pre-final boss of the main arc, so not QUITE done the game yet...!

[lostinmyway]

[It takes Grune a surprisingly long time to notice the change in the fountain as she goes on her daily drift through the village. But when she does, she comes right over and leans in close.]

Oh, my.

[That almost looks like....]

I'll avoid any spoilery stuff then!

[technobabbling]

You like it? I spent like forever tinkering with this thing. Who knew it needed a ka-blam and a bit of a kachunk-a-chunk on that doohickey juuust over here to get started!

[Maybe if she bothered looking into how fountains pump water around and about she wouldn't have to hit it until it did what she wanted. But that's the fun in winging it!]

Thank you! I'm at the "DO ALL THE LAST-MINUTE SIDEQUESTS" stage, so. XD

[lostinmyway]

[Grune looks up at the perky voice--oh, she has company! Even if she didn't understand...99% of what Pascal said, she still gives her a big smile.]

Yes, it's very nice. [Whatever it is.] Did you make it?

Have fun with all those sidequests <3

[technobabbling]

Yup! Well the fountain isn't mine, duh, I just thought chocolate would be way better than the water they had in here. Chocolate is awesome, it's like an apple gel for your blood sugar!

[Or something to that effect anyway. Do apple gels effect blood sugar? Meh. Details.]

I am! And also going back and beating Hubert into the ground with that desert fight sgdsdgsdg

[lostinmyway]

It's chocolate?

[She sticks a finger into the fountain, pulls it out, and puts it in her mouth. Sure enough...!]

Oh, it's delicious!

OH I had that problem only with Malik. I AM AWFUL WITH ASBEL

[technobabbling]

That's great! Woulda majorly sucked if I went through all this and the chocolate ended up tasting like trash or somethin'.

[But she's not too approving of Grune just sticking her finger in like that. Clearly the best way to eat chocolate like this is to dip bananas in it! Then again this isn't really her fountain in the first place.]

Hey, what do you think is the best way to eat this stuff?

I like to think I'm decent at him, since, you know, he's my main character, but HUBERRRRT /fistshake

[lostinmyway]

[This...is a very good question!]

Hmm.... Maybe we could put it on some ice cream!

You mean Hubert the walking glass-es cannon?

[technobabbling]

Oh, better idea! What if I turned this baby intooo... An ice cream fountain?! [...] Iiit would have to be the soft scoop stuff, no duh, but then you could totally dip cones into it and get some sprinkles in here. Oh man, you could even get some banana splits going!

[This is now a fantastic idea and it's all thanks to you Grune.]

[drawnbythesword]

[Asbel was passing by when he spotted Pascal working on the fountain. Gurl watchoo doin'?]

Pascal? What're doing to the fountain?

[technobabbling]

[Oh you know, stuuuuff. Whatchoo doin' boi?]

Turning it into Luceti's biggest, bestest chocolate fountain ev-eeer~! Totally a great idea, am I right? This is just the thing a town like this needs. Oh, and a shot cube rink.

[drawnbythesword]

... How? [He's seen you do some crazy stuff, Pascal, but how do you do something like that?]

[technobabbling]

Lemme see, first I got up this morning and was dying for something sweet. I went to bug Cheria to whip something up but she kept telling me 'But Pascal, it's way too early for banana pie get out of my bed!' or something like that, I dunno. Then I remembered that there was this fountain right here! So of course I think to myself 'heeey, there's a fountain here and there's a fountain in the Amarcian Enclave!' so the only natural thing to do then was to turn it into a chocolate fountain. Theeere's your answer!

[There you go Asbel. That's how she decided to make a chocolate fountain. All very simple, logical thinking.]

[drawnbythesword]

Why didn't you just go to the bakery?

[technobabbling]

Go to the what now? [ASBEL YOU ARE STIFLING HER CREATIVITY.] Hey, you should come right on over here and get a whiff of this stuff. Even though this thing was totally swimming in mold and stuff five minutes ago the chocolate smells mega sweet!

[drawnbythesword]

Pascal, are you sure it's a good idea to putting chocolate somewhere there was a ton of mold? [Regardless, he's walking over there.]
