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.

Well it looks pretty nice. Are they gasoline powered? My friend kind of invented these things. But they were steam powered. Useful, but not very powerful.

[His friend- oh right, from the past this guy is the younger form of one of the old councilmen. She need to keep reminding herself of that] Yeah, they're gasoline powered. They're a lot more powerful than steam powered ones too, I assure you.

Trust me, I think I have an idea. [This long in Luceti? Yeah, he's got more than a solid idea of vehicles.] Do you mind if I watch?

If you can help me get a track with no monsters and a working Satomobile you can ride in the back seat with me, if you want. [Or shotgun, depending on the model - but a racing one would be preferable and they only have one row]

... that could be fun.

[Okay, he finishes it up. A nice clear race track. No zombies or anything. He turns it on and the chamber door opens up to their right.]

After you.

[You know in spite of herself she's super excited to the prospect this could be working this time. So she's actually way ahead of him, going on in to eagerly see if it works out and inspect the model car in here]

[It's funny how a car from his own future can somehow seem antiquated compared to the stuff he's seen. But he doesn't say that. Because this is from HIS world. It's a testament to what his world will one day, perhaps in his own lifetime. He can't help but feel a little proud.]

This is great! It's just like automobiles from other worlds. Look! [He grabs the steering wheel.] It's even controlled the same way!

[You know it's also more than a little weird to hear someone from the distant(?) past pointing out this vehicle's similarities to things from other worlds. She's not sure if she should be flattered or not (because, yes, she takes personal stake in satomobiles in spite of herself) so she just decides to focus on how she finally gets to drive it]

It's hard to imagine how you'd steer without the wheel. It's a little big to use handlebar turning.

[Ah here's a helmet]

Well. That's true.

[Maybe a joystick or something would work. When she pulls out one of the helmets, he gets the idea he should do the same thing.]

So... these things go pretty fast?

Well I can't know about other worlds, but faster than anything from back during the War.

[To hold onto normalcy? Yes, hold on to normalcy]

Even faster than an eel hound?

[Cuz that thing was hella fast.]

[...Point. She needs to think about that. She's never actually been on an eel hound, but from what she knows about them...]

Those are obviously faster over mountains or water, but with the right specs, on flat land? It ought to be faster.

Sounds great. So. Back seat, right?

[He'd rather be in the front, but whaddya gonna do?]
