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

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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[It's only been a few hours since Perona's found herself back in Luceti after what she assumes is two years (for herself, at least), and she's already visiting her favorite places and a few of her...kindasorta favorite people. The restaurant just so happens to be one of her more favored places to go, where she's already enjoying some tea and...

Music. Rather beautiful music, in fact. Beautiful music that she knows. Perona closes her eyes and smiles, letting the beautiful melody wash over her like the gentle spray of the sea. After a few seconds, she even begins to sway in her seat, and sings along, in a hushed voice, though not quiet enough to not be heard.]

Binkusu no sake wo...todoke ni yuku yo...

[Brooke recognizes the voice of the singer, and it causes him a little bit of surprise. He knew Perona was in Luceti, but didn't entirely know what to make of her. Still, he wasn't one to dwell on grudges of any kind, and she had certainly helped some of his Nakama before. He continued to play, but edged his way over to where she was sitting, softly singing where she left off.]

Umikaze kimakase namimakase
Shio no mukou de, yuuhi mo sawagu
Sora nya wa wo kaku, tori no uta~

[So, it was the Humm--ah, no...what did he go by now? Soul King? Perona knew she vaguely recognized the voice singing back, and when Brook comes close, she gets a visual confirmation. My, my, now there's a face she hasn't seen in...well, two years.]

Sayonara minato, tsumugi no sato yo.
Don! to icchou utao, funade no uta...
Kinpa-ginpa mo shibuki ni kaete
Oretacha yuku zo, umi no kagiri.

...You really are quite the musician, horohoro.

[For some reason that laugh still sent chills up his spine... either that or his spine was just chilly from the lack of skin. Still, the Binks Sake, which he'd always hum under his breath when he heard that laugh, more than countered those chills when sung aloud. It was... kind of refreshing actually.]

Yohohoho! It's nice to see you actually have an appreciation for it! You know you've changed a lot since the first time I saw you... or the last time I saw you even.

[It definitely says something about the young woman that she sprang't feel any sort of fear around the skeleton at all. She's actually rather curious about him - how does he move, and speak? Is it a Devil Fruit? Which one? Everything Perona's seen and heard of Brook has been through newspapers, recordings, or her memories.

A delicate smile graces Perona's lips and she leans back in her chair. Changed? Oh, yes, she's certainly changed. Even now she's somewhat surprised.]

Have I? Mm...well, it has been two years since I tried to kill you all.

[^__^]

Yo... ho... ho...

[Okay... that was definitely a little morbid. I mean he could appreciate a dark sense of humor once in a while... but it's kind of creepy mentioning how you had tried to kill someone and all their friends. He wasn't really sure how he should really take that statement. So he figured awkward laughter actually probably was the appropriate response.]

Yes... it's also been two years since I nearly jumped out of my skin at the sight of your ghosts too. Thankfully I don't have any skin to jump out of. Yohohoho!

[Oh wait... talking about them might make her summon them... QUICK! CHANGE THE SUBJECT!]

Oh! I just remembered, there was something I had always meant to ask you.

[Perona feels her pride and ego alike swell at Brook's words, smothering a cackle before it even starts on her lips. Scared of her and her ghosts? As he should have been! And those same skills are just as devilish and effective now as they were back on Thriller Bark, maybe even a bit more powerful, she hopes. Perona hasn't exactly had much chance to practice. Maybe here, in that battle dome concoction thingy...]

Hm? [Train of thought derailed.] Something to ask me? What is it?

[Brooke shines his shoe, straightens his bow tie, spiffs up his hair...]

[And then bowing politely, with a tip of his top hat, he asks...]

May I please see your panties? Yohohoho!

Edited 2012-09-06 23:21 (UTC)

[Well, he asked for it.

Standing up, Perona dusts off her shoulders, adjusts her hat a bit, and lifts up the ends of her gown a teensy bit...]

[THEN JAMS HER THE HEEL OF HER BOOT HARD INTO BROOK'S SKULL.]

AS IF I'D ALLOW THAT!

[And to add insult to injury, Perona will add not one, not two, but four Negative Hollows to her prior attack. He did indeed ask for it. B|]

[His jaw slowly drops open. Would she really actually show him?! Would his prayers and dreams finally-]

[WHAM! What a kicker!]

Yohohoho!

[Alright he should have seen that one coming, but the dress raising was so mislea-]

Life... is so hollow... just like me.

[That was the saddest skull joke he'd ever said. He couldn't even yohohoho about it.]

The only point of living is dying... and I'm dead... like I deserve...

[Wow he's been hit hard! He certainly won't be asking her that question for a while.]
