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.

I wish it was.

[The jests were gone completely--he understood the sentiments better than the man would have imagined. The underlying anger in the man's voice was easier for Lupin to handle than the bald disbelief that some New Feathers exhibited when the information was revealed. Fury was simpler, and made his job less tiresome.

The keeps his tone light despite the edge of steel in Sanzo's tone. Sometimes it was better to just let the person be furious.]

You can accept the fact that we're trapped here or not; the choice is yours. Acceptance isn't giving up by any means, but some people have their reasons for wanting to stay here. Others would skip out in a heartbeat if they could.

Right now? We have to wait for our enemies to show weakness. It...just requires a little patience.

[He rounds on Lupin, eyes fierce. Any misplaced word here might result in injury.]

Cho Hakkai. Sha Gojyo. Son Goku. Do you recognize those names at all?

[He heeded the underlying violence in the man's tone. No more games.]

I don't, but that's not to say that the might not have been here once. Are they friends of yours?

My servants. We've been journeying to the West to stop the revival of an ancient youkai king, Gyumaoh. Those idiots... of course they wouldn't be here.

Well, your mission to the West is just going to have to wait for a while then--sorry.

If it's consolation? Years spent here doesn't even amount to seconds back home. You don't need to worry about the revival happening without you.

[That's promising... but even so.]

The others. What are my chances of seeing them here?

The odds are random--sorry.

...I've had all of my friends here at some point during the last eight months, but we haven't all been around at the same time. As it stands? Only one is left here in the village, for now.

I see.

Where are the lodgings I'm to stay in?

Pick a room, any room, so long as its unoccupied.

[No. Seriously.]

...you're taking the news fairly well.

I have no other way to take the news.

[Other than to make a run for it in the night to find a way out.]

[Go ahead: it won't be successful.

The resignation in Sanzo's tone was noted, but Lupin couldn't help but poke at it.] That's a very mature outlook on this.

Hmph. This is all ridiculous enough without adding to it by being a moron.

I'll do what I have to and eventually return to the others. You say time doesn't pass where we've come from in the meantime?

[Your style. He approves of it.]

That's right. There's several people here who are in the middle of dangerous missions in their homes, or on the brink of death. At the very least, you'll never have to worry about time here.

[He nods.]

It would be better if those idiots were here. Even if they're frozen in time, it's not something I want to leave to chance. They'll find a way to do something stupid; I'm sure of it.

You don't have much faith in your...ah...servants, do you?

[It amuses him greatly. Unfortunately for Sanzo, he speaks 'gruff and taciturn' fluently.]

Not at all. If you knew them as I do, you wouldn't either. Bunch of lousy shits.

[He laughed.] They sound damn fun, actually!

...they keep things interesting, at the end of the day.

Sounds like they're the best kind of people to have around.

They have their moments, albeit few and far between.

But they're the only ones I'd be able to tolerate going anywhere with anyway

So you're a team?

[He chuckled; he understood that sentiment too.]

More like they're my servants. As I said.

Servants...teammates...it's all the same in the end. You work together.

[He shakes his head impatiently.]

Maybe they'll show up sometime soon. If you're here now, that means we still have a few more weeks when new people show up. If not now? They might in a few months. It's almost seasonal around here, really.

...a goddamn vacation, is it? Haa...

[And yet he's irritated. He's always irritated.]

Who said it can't be a working vacation?
