it's time once again for a...test drive meme!

[herotypical]

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. Oh. And don't forget to RESERVE your characters.

I see. I thought I felt another presence nearby. [She didn't feel it while she was shopping, at any rate.

Asking for help is hard, though. Coming from that school to Luceti is shocking enough, but she's still not sure if she can trust everyone.] I am...searching for something.

[curiositykills]

Something you can't find in the store? [It's kind of hard to tell if this person just came from the store or hasn't had a chance to look around yet. Already bored of keeping still, he drops down from the building.] Or is it something else?

[theogre]

Indeed. It is something I could not find in this store nor any other store. [It's hard to tell what might show up in these stores. She's seen things she'd never expect to see, but she's also seen very normal things she's been without for so long.] Would you know where one can acquire a sledgehammer?

[curiositykills]

[...he is not sure if he expected that answer or not! He's pretty sure someone this size doesn't need a sledgehammer. 8|]

Well, I can't say I've been looking, but... what would you need a sledgehammer for?

[theogre]

It is difficult to explain entirely. [But she smiles a little. There's one thing Luceti has that she lacked previously.] It will be used for exercise.

[curiositykills]

Exercise? [Like, literally, or is that some kind of joke... But then again, when he thinks about it, maybe it's not so odd.] I guess it takes something for a guy to get that big. Maybe you can have one made?

[theogre]

Yes. This place...it is unpredictable. It would be unwise to not be prepared. [After that, she just gives Jason Todd this look. It's not one of annoyance, but it's definitely not a happy one, either. She's just going to state this for him as simply as he can. He probably won't want to get it wrong again.]

I am a woman.

[curiositykills]

Uh... whoops. [Even without a threat, he's pretty darn sure he doesn't want to make that mistake again. He rubs his neck sheepishly.] S-sorry about that... ma'am. But you're right about one thing, now's no time to get rusty!

[theogre]

[She doesn't reprimand him past correcting him. On the contrary, him agreeing with her actually gains point in his favor. She doesn't know he's new, but that's a mindset she can approve of. She nods in agreement, smiles.]

Indeed. Training the body now may be more important than it ever has been where I am concerned. Would it be alright...if I asked you a question?

[curiositykills]

[Whew, thank goodness she leaves it at that. That would've been one of the weirdest things to get in a fight over.]

Yeah, sure, lady. [He puts his arms behind his head.] Shoot.

[theogre]

[Perhaps it's no good, the question she's going to ask. After all, Jason is a bit...small. Everyone is small compared to her except for grown men, after all. It's just a fact.]

You seem interested in training your body as well. [His acrobatics clue her into that as well.] What kind of methods do you employ? ...I apologize if my question is too strange.

[curiositykills]

Oh, it ain't weird. I'm surprised you're askin', though. Looks like you got a better handle on this stuff than I do. [Because she's the size of a freakin' tank. It's also why he figures there's no harm in talking about it, though.] It's a little bit of everything, I suppose. Martial arts, weapons training... Stuff like that.

[theogre]

It has been a long time since I have been able to talk about such things openly. [She doesn't want to talk about why, so she decides to change the subject pretty quickly.] That is an impressive training regimen for one so young.

[curiositykills]

It sure is, huh? [Not the least bit modest! He's very proud of what he does.] It's gotta be. It's the only way I can keep up with the Batman.

[theogre]

The...Batman? [It sounds like the name of a wrestler to her. She is the Ogre, after all.] I am unfamiliar with that name.

[curiositykills]

He's the hero of our city, and I'm his partner, Robin! But this place is so quiet, I feel like I'm in one huge library.

[...not that this should be a bad thing, but Robin likes fighting crime.]
