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.

[Some part of him insists that it would be hilarious to see a fairy flying around drunk, but that. Might end horribly. He chuckles.]

Non. Ain't important at all.

[Before she can go flying into the bottle or anything, he decides to try to distract her.] What's your name, petite? I'm Remy.

[Oh, spoil Crysta's fun, why don't you? SHE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. Well. Maybe she'll investigate in a little bit. He said it isn't important, but if it wasn't, then why is there so much of it in this place?

Oh well. Human has a name! Remy. Remy. Sounds kind of funny, but she likes it.]

I'm Crysta. [...] What does 'pehteet' mean?

[There's so much of it because it isn't important, but that's a concept he's not sure he can explain very well. Filling in the blanks from his French, though, that's the usual.]

Jus' another word for "li'l". [Beat. He should probably try to enunciate, because it wouldn't be the first time his accent perpetuated a circle of "what'd you say?"] "Lit-tle". I mean.

Oh! That makes sense. [She IS very little in comparison to Gambit after all.]

But about what's in this, um... [UNSURE.] This! You were drinking it before, weren't you? So it's some kind of drink, like water?

[This is going to end in drunken fairies, isn't it.]

It's a drink, but it ain't exactly like water. Makes some people act kinda funny.

[ONLY TIME WILL TELL.]

Is it a good kind of funny?

It's a... weird kinda funny.

Then why drink it if it changes the way you act?

[Yeah, that's a long story he's not sure he's up for.]

Dif'rent reasons, petite. Mainly for the fun of it.

[...Which will probably bring on more questions, so he just adds:] Don't worry 'bout it too much.

Oh... well, alright then. But that [uhhhh what was it not magic] human firefly light you use!

Do you use it to light yourself up, too? [THAT'S WHAT FIREFLIES DO.] Or can you only light up other things?

[...Remy, this is why the Guild can always get you to come back. You're a complete sucker for this kind of stuff.]

Only other t'ings. Don't work on anythin' livin', jus' stuff like this bottle.

[That, and he can light up his eyes, but that tends to happen without any conscious thought on his part. And while he's admittedly a total showoff and loves to make things go boom, he's curious here:]

You mentioned magic earlier? You do any?

I do! ... Sort of.

I'm still kind of learning.

Like some kinda magic school?

[With Harry Potter people running around this place, why not.]

'School'?

Y'know... where you learn t'ings?

[Or maybe you don't know.]

Oh... then I guess it is! But it's just Magi and me.

T'ink I get it, petite. Makes a whole lotta sense.

[Magic tutoring. Of course.]

[She nods.]

I'm still learning, but mostly I help things grow. [Or she tries to, at least.]

[Now there's an ability. One he hasn't run into yet in a mutant, and if there's anyone here who makes things grow, he hasn't met them. Very interesting.]

What kinda t'ings? Jus' plants, or can you make a mouse the size of a house too?

[Joking through exaggeration does not work with her, LeBeau. Take that back.]

...or jus'. Bigger'n it was.

[... Hm.]

I guess I could, but I haven't really tried anything like that before. [~~lol hasn't met Zak yet~~]
