it's time once again for a...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.

Geordie sips at his beer every now and then, tapping a foot in time to the music. Completely approachable.]

Oi. Lad. Move. Not finished with that table, yet. Shoo.
...ignore the change in username please
There was no reservation card on the table.
it is all good!
no subject
No. But this club does.
no subject
Hopefully a threadjack is okay?
...A smile that might include an arched eyebrow]
Blocking what?
of course!
Beats me.
NO. NEVER.
Erm.......my carving.
[Because somewhere on Geordie's side of the table is a carving Jack was working on with his dagger, right in the wood. JS ♥ BS Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever and.
It isn't finished yet.]
no subject
[one hand resting on Geordie's shoulder, friendly and familiar, she leans over to see what Jack is talking about... and she laughs when she sees it]
Jack. How long have you been working on that?
[...it hasn't actually occurred to her that the two of them hadn't met, yet]
no subject
Forever and ever and ever and ever and. It's sweet and romantic and quickly makes him smile instead.]
Probably forever and ever.
[There's nothing mean in his voice. It's all good-natured jest.]
no subject
Patrolling and such.
no subject
[placing a hand on Geordie's shoulder, she looked between them] I guess you two haven't met, yet? Geordie, this is Jack. He's a pirate. [there was something mischievous in the tone, as well as proud. She could imagine how Geordie might react to that kind of introduction. It shifts as she continues, though, becoming almost disbelieving. Happy, but still not fully trusting that it's real]
Geordie's from...from home.
no subject
Eyebrows do raise at the word pirate. He takes in Jack's demeanor and dress and nods. A pirate. Well, Jilly does make friends with just about anyone, doesn't she?
He offers a hand in greeting, trying not to look all that nervous.] I'm guessing that she's not talking about radio piracy, either. Uh, nice to meet you.
no subject
So was it HIM, lass? Is this the one?
no subject
While Jonathan Hollom has been working on getting used to Luceti again, he hasn't neglected actually noticing his housemates.
It takes him about ten minutes to build up the nerve to approach the man at the table. Politely, once he's in sight, he bows politely (though it's shallow) at the waist, tilting his head lower.]
Sir? I... am a housemate of Miss Jilly. I thought perhaps you'd care to, tomorrow night, take supper with us at House Seven?
...ignore the change in username please
His fingers snap together when he does remember it.]
You're... Jonathan Hollom. One of the naval officers?
no subject
M-Miss Jilly has exaggerated, I fear. [He smiles just a little, to try and hide his nerves.] I...
I served in the Navy, sir, but... I was no officer.
[Not one of any worth, at least, and he'd rather be thought of as a rating than a failed officer.
Even if the blue coat he has hidden in his closet would announce the truth.]
no subject
He stands, offers a sincere nod in place of a bow and his hand.] I'm Geordie Riddell. Though I'm sure Jilly's probably told you that already.
no subject
[He smiles a little more. The topic of Jilly is one to set him at ease. She is a calming influence, he's found, or one of general gaitey.]
But especially of you, sir.
It's always better here, it seems, with good friends from home.

Unfortunately, all of the tables are occupied. But Geordie is by himself, which is about as good as it's going to get.]
Hey. You mind if I sit here?
no subject
Not at all.
no subject
[Amelia drops down into a seat, then takes a drink of the beer she managed to get before working her way through the crowd.]
Is it always this crowded?
