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.

Explosion?

[What explo-- OH.]

Ohhh, that explosion. Well, you see, I was just doing my alchemy synthesis, as usual, when I thought I saw something outside the window! So when I looked, I might have put a little too much powder into my cauldron, and ...

[She trails off, looking around the room. Nothing's on fire or anything, but even the ceiling is stained with soot.]

This is going to take forever to clean again.

[arcadianvampire]

Alchemy? A human performing alchemy? ...I thought that practice fell out of favor centuries ago.

[...Humans practicing Alchemy. That was a better time. A lot better than the modern era where they create their own monsters...]

[piealchemist]

Did it? I don't remember my master telling me anything like that ...

[ ...! ]

Ohhh, that's right. Maybe that just happened in your world, but not mine! I mean, not very many people can do alchemy in my country, but it's not unheard of.

[arcadianvampire]

Right, that whole... other world thing.

[That takes some getting used to. How annoying.]

So Alchemy is a legitimate science in your world? In mine, it was what humans practiced before the hard sciences were discovered. Some dreamed of turning lead into gold. Is that what you do?

[piealchemist]

Well, I can do that, but only if I need gold for another synthesis. Like a golden pie, for example!

[arcadianvampire]

...A golden pie. Who could possibly eat that?

[piealchemist]

Anyone could! It's actually really tasty, even if you feel guilty about it later.

[arcadianvampire]

[Curiosity has been piqued. He doesn't know better to doubt when she says it is, in fact, edible.]

Really? What does it taste like?

[piealchemist]

[Oh no, it actually is edible! ... She just can't eat it herself without thinking about how the amount of gold used in it could feed 10 families for a month.]

It's a little hard to explain ... It's one of those "you gotta try it yourself" things.

[arcadianvampire]

Hm, so it's like a sardine, then.

[piealchemist]

Sardine?

... But I don't use any fish in it.

[arcadianvampire]

I meant that one can only truly appreciate the flavor by tasting it themselves.

[piealchemist]

Oh ... Well, I guess so. I don't think it's the same kind of thing, though. [ ... ] Are sardines really that special?

[arcadianvampire]

Are sardines that...

[He's almost incredulous at that question.]

Of course they're that special! Sardines are a superfood! They are rich in essential components of well-being, like Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin B12, Omega-3s, and vital protein needed to build and maintain proper muscular health!

They are truly worthy of their name in Kanji! "Fish-Strong!"

[piealchemist]

... Wow, you really know a lot about sardines, don't you? I-I had no idea they were that good for you!

[... but what's a kanji and can she make a pie out of it]

[arcadianvampire]

They are! Everyone should eat them and enjoy the nutritional power they give you!

[If anyone could make a pie out of them, though... it'd be her.]

[piealchemist]

Well, it's really good that they're so healthy, but I don't think I'm going to start eating them ... I'm not really a fish fan. Thanks for telling me about them anyway, though! Hehe ...

[arcadianvampire]

[...Wrong answer.]

Do you know what you're missing out on?! They're versatile! If you could turn gold, a precious metal into an appetizing pie, sardines should be no challenge for you!

[piealchemist]

[Yikes, this guy is serious about his sardines, isn't he?

... Unfortunately, he said "pie" and "challenge" in the same sentence.]

If we're talking about a sardine pie, then of course it's no challenge! It's easy, in fact! I could make one right now if I wanted to!

[arcadianvampire]

...That would be lovely, actually.

[Well, this may have worked out nicely.]

[piealchemist]

Okay ... Then ...!

[ ... ]

I'll need sardines from the store.

[arcadianvampire]

...

[And then it looks like Valvatorez's world collapses around him.]

...The store has none in stock! I've already scoured it top to bottom!

[piealchemist]

Really?

[ ... ]

Oh well! I'll make it some other time.

[arcadianvampire]

Damn those Malnosso! I will find their complaints department and give them a sound thrashing for this completely unacceptable oversight!

[piealchemist]

Well, what if the store just happened to run out of sardines today? You could always check back tomorrow, and if they're still not there, then you can complain! It wouldn't be very fair to complain about it if it wasn't their fault ...
