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.

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?

Abel told me some about farming, it didn't interest me much.

As for other viewpoints, I am not supposed to have a viewpoint as the Judge.

How can you consider yourself a fair Judge if you cannot see things from another perspective? Where is the justice in that?

Because, the law of the church are simple to follow. Not following them is showing disrespect for the church.

[Ginia sighs and shakes her head.]

I feel we will continue to disagree due to our differences in ideology, but that is okay.

I am just trying to see what is so hard with understanding that if you do good, you get rewarded. If you don't you get punished.
