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.

[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 ...

[arcadianvampire]

If they were properly prepared, a shortage should not have happened in the first place!

[piealchemist]

Maybe a bunch of people came in all at once, and they ... forgot?

[arcadianvampire]

Hmm... that could be the only possible explanation for such an action.

[...]

Very well! For now I will stay their punishment! But if tomorrow there are no sardines, then I will have to take drastic actions!

...Even if I must raise them myself.

[piealchemist]

Raise them?

[ ...!! ]

Hey! Wouldn't you be raising them only to eat them? That's way too cruel!

[arcadianvampire]

I fail to see how that's any different from raising livestock.

Besides, any sardines under my care will receive the best treatment available while they grow! And not all of them will be eaten! There is an ocean here, if possible, I would prefer to have a natural population grow as well.

1/2

[piealchemist]

Oh ... Yeah, I guess it's the same thing.

[Now she's going to feel sad about eating meat for all of maybe an hour.]

[piealchemist]

[... But then one key word throws that train of thought to an entirely different set of tracks.]

... Hey, did you say there's an ocean here?

[arcadianvampire]

Hm? Yes, the town's introductory guide stated that there's one beyond the mountains. And supposedly, there's a way to get there instantaneously. Guess someone learned how to mimic Dimensional Gates.

...Say what you will about humans, good or bad, they do prove to be remarkably resourceful.
