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.

I have adapted in some ways. It is peaceful here. [The peace and quiet offered by the village in the woods was deeply appreciated. While the peace was ruined in other manners, usually around Malnosso interference, it was still a pleasant change. The only thing she had not yet adjusted to was being known by so many and still remembering so little.]

I like peaceful places.

I, personally am on edge. Although it is good that you're enjoying the peacefulness.

If you will forgive me for asking, what is it that keeps you on edge?

I am in a new location, with new appendages that my life depends upon attached to me, in a place where no one has heard of my country or my faith where some faceless being experiment on us.

[Luce takes a sip of his grape juice.]

Please, tell me what there isn't to be on edge about.

That are you not the only individual who has been taken from your world and brought here, and that despite the uncertainty this place brings, you have a friend from your own world to help you through things.

You also do not need to worry about housing, food, supplies, or clothes. This place is kind in regards to providing things to get by.

[She takes a sip of her milkshake.]

Those are basic survival. And as for the Pontiff...Abel.

He will follow me where he needs to be.

Do not misunderstand me; I understand your reason for being on edge. However, being on edge so much is not very healthy. [So says the hypocrite and she knows it. There hasn't been a night where she hasn't slept with a knife under her pillow or snapped awake at the sound of footsteps in the hall.]

[Luce just stared at her.] I will be more secure when I am home and I understand everything again.

[She huffs softly and takes another sip of her milkshake.]

Comfort in familiarity. Then I'll pray you and Abel return home soon.

I do too. I fear if I stay here too long I might allow my thoughts to stray.

Straying thoughts are not necessarily bad. There is wisdom in seeing different perspectives.

No, thoughts are supposed to stay focused. As a sign that we're better than animals and such.

If I may ask, are you truly so content following the directions given to you without giving them any further thought?

[This was a test. He looked her in the eye.]

Yes, fully.

My dog obeys orders without question.

No, tell a lie, she'll disregard me from time to time.

[She looks right back. Go on, prove you're better than an animal.]

Dogs can also work their way up to human status in their next lives.

And yet you are content to behave like a dog while you are a human.

[Because, in the eyes of the church... He puts a weak smile on.] I am trying to work up into something better than myself.

Is there anything your teachings say about free will?

As Father Zina said in his 98th Sermon:

For those of us born human, we have been given a pivotal choice. We can move up or move down, what choices will you make- that will affect you and those around you? Do you move up or down, do you help others move up or down?

[Ah. Ginia sips at her milkshake while she thinks over what he's said. It is free will, the free to choose what one wishes to do with their life. That is sensible enough, and ultimately, what Luce chooses to do with his time here and in his life is ultimately his decision.

She simply finds it a shame he's unwilling to expand his knowledge, though she realizes it's a difference in thought and can't blame him much for that either.]

I see. The power to choose. I suppose I cannot argue with the decisions you choose to make as they are yours.

Yes, it is either choose to help yourself and the church or go against it.

But the church will help you get back on the right path. [Aka do what we say or we will make you.] After all, it is its duty.

But what if you were to find information and knowledge that could help you and the church elsewhere?

Thats impossible, you see, the church has all the information needed. Keep it untainted.

You aren't even curious about other perspectives or viewpoints? Or different topics? Like farming?
