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.

[He ignores Shikamaru at first and only turns to face him again after about half a minute of silence.]

Excuse me, Shikamaru-san. I thought I should try, just in case that turned out to be the real test. I have been mistaken again.

How troublesome... [How's he supposed to be irritated when the guy's like that?]

Look, it's better that he's still at home, don't you think?

But so many of us are here already! Gai Sensei could give us the guidance we need until we can all go home. To think of the words of wisdom he could have regarding this place...

[Muttering under those loud decibels:]

I think that's exactly exactly what we don't want to think of...

[He winds himself down and turns back to Shikamaru with a friendly smile.]

But... even without Gai Sensei! It's not so bad. Asuma Sensei and Kurenai Sensei are here if we need guidance, right? I should see if Gai Sensei has given them any instructions for me in the event of something like this.

[You're really too nice sometimes, Lee. Now he's genuinely curious.]

You think he'd plan for something like that?

Gai Sensei has surprised me many times in the past with his perceptiveness. This time, I am ready for the possibility that he has seen something like this coming.

Tch. Could've used a head's up two years ago, not that I'll hold him to it.

I'm sorry, Shikamaru-san. Many times, even I am puzzled by Gai Sensei's actions. But two years... that is a long time. You are truly a worthy ninja of Konoha to have survived here so long.

Aaa... it's not such a feat.

[He'd point out Naruto's been around even longer than him, but he doubts that'd help much.]

This place is peculiar and dangerous to boot, yeah, but it doesn't present the same threats as our world.

Ah, of course! I have been silently noting every similarity and difference since my arrival. But, what I heard about this world's war, it sounds like a very new type of danger.

You'd be correct about that. [Someone's dying in one, but that's lol timelines.] The Malnosso's war is crazy as hell, but it's not constant thing we're exposed to.

Then it is something I must train and prepare for. Even though... this is a corruption of everything we ninja stand for! My youthful body and your brilliant mind... they were sworn to serve Konoha only!

[Worded like that, he feels kind of dirty. They really are tools put in the wrong hands in a way, aren't they?

-except not. He grins.]

Hey, your comrades here still count for that, don't they? Looking out for one another is a part of our oath.

Yes... yes, of course, Shikamaru-san! I will do all that I can to protect my treasured companions in this strange world.
