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.

[Tattoi hadn't been in Luceti for terribly long - a few months, perhaps - but long enough to look forward to the winter weather. Anything was preferable to the stifling summer heat; even autumn's mild temperatures were an issue for him. Now, though, it was snowing and freezing - just right, he thought.

After an hour or so of roaming through the village and its surroundings, enjoying the chill and the quiet, one might be able to find him at Good Spirits. He's enjoying a nice cup of cold cocoa, as well as a large stack of cookies that he seemingly brought in himself. At either point, he's chatty, relaxed, and as friendly as he's ever been. He may even offer you a cookie.]

((ooc: he's half-artificial, very ragged and scarred, and leaking cold nitrogen mist from vents on his back, just under his gray wings. also, if you remember him and have concerns, please read the post in this journal.))

[A short, bespectacled woman comes up to the stool beside him, pulling a clear container with some red velvet cake out of her bad. (She has Helios to blame/thank for that!)]

[Tattoi, even though you didn't ask for her company, you're going to get it -- she's even nice enough to greet you with a smile, once she orders a chilled milk tea.]

Good evening. Care for a piece of cake?

[nitrogenius]

[He glances over mid-bite. Chewing quickly, he nods in the best greeting he can manage right then.] Mmf. [Gulp.] Evening. I think a better question would be "why is this stranger trying to offer me cake so happily?" [Although, Tattoi is eyeing the cake. He's only seen red cake once or twice, and that had been on very special occasions. Could they perhaps know something about him?]

[removeimpurity]

I'm in a giving mood, is all. [She laughs, and her smile widens as the top of the container is removed, revealing that glorious, cream cheese frosted wonder to the open air.]

You haven't answered my question, you know. Best decide quickly, lest I eat it all myself! [And here she gives Tattoi a playful look.]
