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.

[Open mic night would be a lot more fun if he had his fiddle. But watching others perform isn't such a bad way to spend the night.

Geordie sips at his beer every now and then, tapping a foot in time to the music. Completely approachable.]
all7seas: (like which fury hell hath no)

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-08-18 12:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[COMPLETELY approachable, you say?]


Oi. Lad. Move. Not finished with that table, yet. Shoo.

[Geordie didn't exactly come here looking for a fight. But he's no pushover, either. He stays seated, his reply firm:]

There was no reservation card on the table.
all7seas: (it is pronounced "egregious")

it is all good!

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-08-20 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Reservation card?" Do I look like I leave reservation cards, son?
keepsmehonest: ([interest] eyebrow raise)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-20 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Probably not, if his demeanor's anything to go by. But his bravado is in full swing. It has to be, dealing with a place like Luceti.]

No. But this club does.
all7seas: (human hair...from my back)

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-08-21 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Just.....move. Over. You're BLOCKING it.
theoniongirl: (Oh Yeah?)

Hopefully a threadjack is okay?

[personal profile] theoniongirl 2012-08-21 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
[which is about the time that the petite artist appears with a beer for Geordie and a smile for Jack.

...A smile that might include an arched eyebrow]


Blocking what?
keepsmehonest: ([interest] eyebrow raise)

of course!

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-21 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
[He accepts the beer from Jilly with a grin and a shrug.]

Beats me.
all7seas: (hear me out)

NO. NEVER.

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-08-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Jilly. [Well THAT shuts Jack up. Lovely Jilly. Sweet Jilly.]

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.]
theoniongirl: (You're Funny)

[personal profile] theoniongirl 2012-08-21 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Your-

[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]
keepsmehonest: ([happy] amused)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-26 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Geordie follows Jilly's gaze, frowning a little when he reads the carving. He's not sure who BS is, but given that Jilly just called the man Jack, that at least answers the JS.

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.]
all7seas: (with a spoon brother)

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-08-26 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hrmph. [Jack glares at the good-natured Geordie.] Not THAT long. Just. Nights when she's away, is all.


Patrolling and such.
theoniongirl: (Oh Yeah?)

[personal profile] theoniongirl 2012-08-31 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[she did catch that glare, and it gets a raised eyebrow. But she only shakes her head with a smile] I think it's sweet, however long it's been.

[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.
keepsmehonest: ([happy] peering at the world)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-31 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't go unnoticed by Geordie, either. But like Jilly, he just shakes it off. No jokes. Okay, he can live with that.

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.
all7seas: (have I threatened you before?)

[personal profile] all7seas 2012-09-01 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait wait wait wait wait -- was this the PIMP BOYFRIEND?! When Jack takes the offered hand, he grips it rather violently.]

So was it HIM, lass? Is this the one?
awhitecrow: (Politeness)

[personal profile] awhitecrow 2012-08-19 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[This young man is a friend of Miss Jilly's. A very good friend, as happy as she's been since he arrived.

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?
keepsmehonest: ([happy] peering at the world)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-19 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Geordie tends to consider himself personable enough, but he's never been anything like Jilly. Terminally friendly, Jilly is. Even here, in this strange world. It's been hard to keep track of everyone she's introduced him to and takes him a moment to finally find a name.

His fingers snap together when he does remember it.]


You're... Jonathan Hollom. One of the naval officers?
awhitecrow: (Excuse me)

[personal profile] awhitecrow 2012-08-19 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't seem to mind at all that he is not immediately known. He'd have been more surprised the other way 'round.]

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.]
keepsmehonest: ([happy] smile)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-20 04:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns for a brief, brief moment. It would be like Jilly, wouldn't it? To exaggerate all the charms and capabilities of her friends? Still, he hadn't meant to put the man at such unease.

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.
awhitecrow: (Default)

[personal profile] awhitecrow 2012-08-23 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
She speaks well of almost everyone.

[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.
keepsmehonest: ([others] pretend it's jilly)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-26 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [Though at that, he can't help but feel a bit guilty. Over a year here by herself. What kind of friend was he?] Well, I'm happy to be here for her.
thedicearecast: (that got her attention)

[personal profile] thedicearecast 2012-08-19 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Less approachable is the girl who makes her way to his table. Amelia doesn't come to Cloud 9 often, generally preferring Good Spirits. She decided to make an exception for Open Mic Night--and so did everyone else, apparently. The place is packed, and Amelia's trying to find a chair.

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?
keepsmehonest: ([happy] smile)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-20 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He offers a friendly grin. It's a pretty easy going one as smiles go. A hand is waved towards the open seat.]

Not at all.
thedicearecast: (i won't look away)

[personal profile] thedicearecast 2012-08-21 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[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?
keepsmehonest: ([happy] peering at the world)

[personal profile] keepsmehonest 2012-08-26 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know. [He shrugs a little.] It's my first time here.
