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.

[Well, it's a good thing Zack's out and wandering, then, isn't it? Though the poor kid is so small Zack very nearly trips over him while he's wandering through, staggering a little to avoid falling on the mage, his eyes widened in surprise.]

Whoa...!!

[Vivi is so clumsy though that just one little bootnudge from Zack is enough to send him right onto his backside, a little dazed.]

Ack-!

Oh- I'm- I'm sorry. [He picks himself up slowly, dusting off his coat and pants.]

[Oh geez, the poor kid. Zack crouches down, peering at the- ...whoa, that's. Different. Kinda cool, but definitely different.]

Nah, I think I'm the one who should be apologizing. You alright?

Y-yeah. I was just surprised.

[Okay straightening big floppy hat- wow holy crap this guy is huge. Vivi stares up at him and then immediately ducks his head a bit, stepping back a couple feet to give Zack plenty of room to pass by.] Sorry.

[Oh, that's adorable, he's shy. Zack smiles warmly, not moving to leave just yet- no point in just tromping off and abandoning the guy before he knows more.]

It's okay. What are you doing out in the middle of nowhere, anyway?

[Vivi gets a little shyer with the attention, fiddling with his gloves, but despite being big Zack hasn't been in the least bit aggressive. It's probably safe to chat with him.]

I-I think I got lost somehow. So I'm just looking for my friends.

Friends... have you called for them on your journal?

[Testing, testing. He's not sure if Vivi is new or not.]

My journal...?

[Oh, that's right, there was that book nearby when he woke up. He'd planned to tuck it right inside his jacket so he could return it to whomever it belonged, and-

...oh no

HE LEFT IT BEHIND]

I-I don't have it with me.

[Haaa. Oh well, it was worth a shot. Zack fishes his own journal out of his pocket, offering it out.]

Here, you can use mine. Just call out to your friends on the first page. If they're here, they should hear you and respond.

[He wants him to...yell at a book.

Vivi gingerly takes the journal and opens it to the first page. He glances up at Zack, just to be sure he's not being pranked or something, and then very meekly asks,] H...hello?

[He almost drops the book in shock when several voices answer back, but unfortunately not one of them is from someone he knows. He politely excuses himself from the conversations and holds the book back out to Zack.] Is this magic? Should I go back and find the one I left?

[Zack laughs at his reaction, taking the book and flipping through a couple of pages. No luck, huh? Well, it doesn't always work right away.]

You can if you want, but it's not a big deal if you can't find it. For some reason it always manages to find you if you get separated from it for too long.

[that's not creepy at all]

Well-

Um, thank you. For your help. [But Vivi totally doesn't want to keep this guy out here, he seemed like he had places to be. Vivi can just be in the forest in the dark alone. It's no big. He's not afraid of the dark or anything!!!]

Sure, no problem. [Zack pauses for a moment, frowning, then straightens up, pointing in the direction of the village.] Hey, you want me to lead you back to town? It's not that far.

I don't want to cause you any trouble...

[But that would be really awesome if you could do that, Zack. Vivi hadn't even known there was a village close by.]

It's no trouble, honest. It's like ten minutes away.

[Poor kid, how did he miss it?]

[IT'S ONLY A TEN MINUTE WALK

OH GOD HE'S SUCH A FAILURE]

Y...yeah, okay then. Thanks...

[l o l the poor kid. Zack manages to stifle his laugh, waving a hand.]

Haha, come on! I'll take you to the Welcome Center, that's always a good place to start off a newcomer.

Thank you. [Vivi has to jog to keep up with Zack's long strides, and generally takes twice as long to climb over any large obstacles.]

U-um- my name's Vivi.

[Poor kid, he's way too short to keep up. Zack glances back at one point, noticing his struggles, and tries to pace himself a little.]

Nice to meet you, Vivi! I'm Zack. Welcome to Luceti.

[oh that's much better]

Nice to meet you, Mr. Zack.

[Vivi fixes his hat back firmly onto his head, and though it's not really polite to talk to someone without looking at them, Vivi doesn't think it'd be a good idea to not watch in front of him when it's this dark out.]

Um, is that the name of this continent? Luceti?
