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.

Glad I could help, Pascal. Maybe if you name tonight's invention after me, I'll teach you how to make it.
[ Just what has he unleashed on the world...? ]
no subject
[Don't mind as she Pascal just helps herself over the bar by rolling over the top of it and landing with a twirl.]
So how do these bartender hands of yours do the shakeyshake thing that makes something as yummy as a Fever Dream?
no subject
You have your sweets in one mix, and the bitter in the other. [ Now he's just gonna show off, tossing bottles of liquor around because, yeah, he's good at this. Shake it like this, and you too can become a master bartender one day! ] Toss in raspberry syrup for color and... there you have it.
no subject
Gotcha, sweet over here, not sweet over there. [All those shotstaff skills are coming in handy right now. Twirling a bottle is nothing compared to a long, cryas filled rifle. One of the bottles ends up escaping her at one point and she makes an animated dive over the bar to save it! It's okay, she has everything under control.] Now you give it a shakeshakeshake and throw on the syrup!
[Time to get shakey with it. Shake shake shake shake shake shakeshakeshakeshakeshakeshakeshakeshake- Better tell her when to stop. Or not.]
no subject
[ It's just like casting magic, right? You gotta feel for it. Pascal can totally do this! Malik believes in you.
Or it'll go horribly and be funny anyway.]no subject
[SHAKESHAKESHAKE- Done! Pascal slams the shaker down on the bar. With that display of hers it looked more like she had shook the poor drink into submission. There has to be some points there for 'most over the top bartending skill' or something.]
That does it. Now to pop the top and finish up this Fever Dream 2.0!
[Either she's claiming the drink as her own creation by adding a 2.0 on there or she's just saying that because it's her second drink. Either way her drink is finished. She decides to forgo the syrup in favour of throwing in a red straw and mini umbrella with two slices of lime on the rim. Perfect.]
no subject
Looks good. [ It gets Malik's seal of approval, anyway. Time to see if he's still got this teaching thing down.
Not that he did much anyway...] Give it a try and let's see.no subject
Alrighty, down the hatch. Cheers! [She raises her glasses high into the air before take a few gulps. All of this sugar and caffeine is going to have her bouncing off the walls. Perfect.] Hmm, this one has more shazzam, but the original Fever Dream was like a refreshing burst to the brain. Still good though!
[Fourier Dream comes in second place to Fever Dream, and after all that hard work and shaking that went into it too. Accurate.]

Why don't we learn another now? Huh? Why don't we? I have time! Lots of it!
[It's almost as though someone put her voice on fast forward or something... Is her eye twitching? Oh yeah. She's not going to sleep for days now.]
no subject
Well, we could, but I'm afraid the rest of the recipes I know take lots of time. There's really no helping it. [ He sounds so disappointed about it too. Too bad it's all lies. All of it. ]
no subject
Sure there is! There'll be plenty of time if we forget about sleep and start working right now, so come on! [Don't deny the girl who likes learning from learning when she's buzzed up like this man. Don't do it.] Let's make a Sophie themed drink! We can call it Fangirl Dream!
no subject
Alright, alright. [ He'll just stick around till she crashes, then... ] Fangirl Dream, huh? It should be purple, and what else? We could serve it in two tall, thin glasses to match her pigtails. What do you think?
no subject
[It'll be like getting a hug from Sophie in a glass. She needs this drink in her life so badly right now.]
We should put flowers in the glasses too- Wait, I've got it, I'll cut up some of this mini umbrella things so they look like flowers!
no subject
Wrong, of course.Either way, it makes Malik laugh because why the hell not. ]You do that. I'll mix the drink. [ Vodka and other stuff, a few choice ingredients for color and voila. Two tall, thin shot glasses of bright purple liquor. ] Ready?
no subject
Already on it! [Just a quick snip snip here and a cut cut there. Voila! Two paper umbrellas only they're not umbrellas anymore they are flowers. She even got purple ones to boot.] Ready!
[Carefully placing both cocktail flowers into the shot glasses, or as carefully as she can manage when her hands are shaking... Perfect!]
no subject
Looks good. You wanna give it a try, let me know how it tastes?
no subject
[You spurred her on, this is all your fault Malik. You have no one else to blame but yourself for getting Pascal completely smashed and high as anything.]
Yup, looks like this one is another winner... [Hic.] Wooow!
no subject
[ Bartender duties include drawing the line. ]
no subject
[Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing- She stills sounds happy and full of energy, even if her words have taken on a slur at this point.]
The night ish young a-and... [Hic. Whoah. Who put her vision on x2 speed and threw on a blur filter.] Ish it hot in here or ish it jusht me?
no subject
[ Now he'll just caaarefully wind her down. And offer her a glass of water. ]
Here, this'll cool you off.
no subject
[So kind of you Malik. She takes glass and sips some of the water from it before deciding to hold it up to her forehead instead.]
Brr, that'sh cold... But it'sh shtill hot, whoaaah. Musht be a shift! A shift where you get hot and cold at the shame time!
no subject
[ Maybe he can get her to eat some peanuts. ]
You hungry?
no subject
I am... Kiiinda hungry, yesh. We need shome food in here Cap'n!
[Yes, food, good. Hopefully bananas. Do bars carry bananas? She hopes so.]
