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.

Mmm, then it's a good thing the Dome can imitate them.

[And entering the grocery shop, Katara leads them down the soda aisle.]

Now, which kind would you like to try? Toph and Sokka both really like the orange soda, but I prefer cream soda or root beer.

[Toph... too. Okay, let's just not think about that, focus on the soda. Orange? Hm.]

What sort of cream is it?

Probably artificial.

[She shrugged.]

I don't think they use actual dairy in it.

...Well if you recommend it, I'll try the root beet.

Two root beers, then!

[Katara takes them off the shelf.]

Let's go drink them outside.

[Where the fresh air can help and maybe Asami will feel less trapped.

It's so easy not to deal with how this strangeness affects her when there's someone else to be concerned about.]

[Taking the bottle - sweet. She'll take that and smile, great .

Okay, outside is good. She nods and follows the other girl out there]

Alright.

[Instead of heading to the fountain, Katara just moves to lean against the store. She twists off the bottle cap.]

Let me know what you think.

[And takes a drink.]

[Oh, she'll follow suit then, twisting off the cap as well. She just goes for a quick sip and- wow. That's not as expected at all, it's sweeter by far and doesn't have the lightly sour kick that ~~phosphate~~ soda has back home. She sort of likes it]

Wow. That's pretty different, but it's nice.

Mmm - there are a lot of things like that here.

[It's a metaphor.

And, discerning that Asami seems to have her feet more under her...]

So about how far in my future are you from? [...] Or maybe a better way to ask would be: When did the war end?

["From the future" is still a bizarre thing to picture, and while she also finds herself taking some slight pride in it as well (evil or not, she's the daughter of an Indultrialist) the more academic phrasing of "when did the war end" is so much easier to grasp onto]

About seventy years ago.

[She blinked, absorbing that.]

Oh.

[...yeah, she'll just let that sit for a minute and examine all the facets she can see.]

So that's... when your from? [ Um. Wow that's still awkward to say]

No, not exactly. [Katara smiles a little and then looks down.]

I've still got some things to finish up back home.

But- oh. [...Is she giving spoilers? Should she be concerned about those?] It ends well?

[Heh.]

I'd heard.

[The end of the war was still the best news ever. And there is a tiny little victorious glint that appears in her eyes as she smiles.]

That was one of the first things my brother told me when I got here. It's still good to hear.
