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.

[Hey, Van! You're blocking this kid's way.

Actually, she doesn't seem to mind, as she seems a little curious about this big, bearded man's... dilemma? Predicament? Plight? Over plushies. Funny, and he doesn't seem like the type to hug a stuffed animal at night too. Unless it's his secret hobby. Well, Eiko will naturally pipe in with her suggestion, being a nosy little thing!]

You should take that one. [Points to one of them!]

[It is hard to look dignified when startled with two handfuls of stuffed toy, but Van manages it! ... Kind of. Maybe. Ish. No. No, not really. But what is Van good at if not recovering from compromising positions? So he smiles charmingly. Who can possibly resist that big, bright, friendly grin?]

Should I? Choosing the right one is important. It's a gift.

A gift?

[It's a gift? But who's it for... Oh, oh. Something is up and her pingdar for these situations is going way, way off here. And it doesn't lie! Eiko just knows something is up here.]

Is it for someone... special?

You could say that. [Although probably not the sort of special she has in mind]

[IS IT FOR A LOVER it is for a lover isn't it. You can't lie to this kid, she is a bonafide self-declared expert on these things. Don't worry, Van! Eiko's got your back.]

Now I get it. It's for someone really, really important to you, huh? [LIKE A LOVER.] What's the gift for, is it for some kind of occasion?

[Is it for a birthday? Anniversary? Apology? Marriage proposal? Details, Van! Details!]

The most important. I want to show her that she still matters to me.

[Isn't he just the sweetest, kindest man, agonizing over the right gift to express his love to the light of his life? Those wrong impressions, just look at them fly.]

[Look at them fly, indeed. Eiko's completely got the wrong impression now, and she's determined to get to the bottom of this poor man's "romantic" dilemma. No matter what it takes!]

I'll help! If it's for that important someone, then first thing's first: you gotta make sure the gift leaves a lasting impression! It's gotta be something you know she'd love for sure; that's just how it works.

Her favorite things are cute.

[Wow he sounds so fond of this mystery woman. He turns the stuffed animals so he can look at them, and then holds them out for Eiko to look over. Young girls know about cute things, right?]

But she acts embarrassed about it at times, so perhaps her gift shouldn't be too cute...
