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.

No one works here. [Luce only cares about potatoes you know.] It is all self-ran somehow.

[kingofdogs]

Well they-- [A pause, then a noise of frustration and he's turning on his heels to take a step or two down the isle. It's only a few though before he's already turning around to regard Luce with a huff of breath.] Well someone should get sacked for not doin' their fuckin' job.

Probably the same guy who decided to experimental with the people here and stick wings on 'em.

[inheavenslight]

The Malnosso. The group who kidnapped us, did you not read the guide?>

[kingofdogs]

[There's a significant pause before Aðal manages to skew his face into an expression that likely questions Luce's intelligence.] Do you really think I would read that thing?

Like hell I'm goin' calm down to read some guide--? [Defensive because he's not the best at reading it didn't really take priority in his world, so sue him.] You see, I was little more focused on the fact I had wings sproutin' out of my back.

[inheavenslight]

Which is quite understandable. [Luce nods.] But in short, everything is odd self ran for the most part.

[kingofdogs]

That's because it's a fucked up ghost town, for all the people and things wanderin' around. [He seems to shake something off before turning back to the isle. Reaching up, he bites on the cuticle around his thumbnail.]

Someone's hidin' face and whoever it is need's t' make sure their shelves are stocked! It's poor business, yeah?

[inheavenslight]

Remember, they are making no money off of it due to no currency. So just because they do not have you popped corn doesn't mean you should throw a tantrum.

[kingofdogs]

Man-- [He tenses and turns around, walking quickly up to the other so he's in his personal space. Space is no big deal where he comes from, people are close all the time unless they are in mourning or have to deal with death some way but in the Dust Bowl this is normal. His eye contact is not though because for his culture it's not a sign of respect.

And he's looking Luce in the eye.] I'm not two, I fuckin' get it--there's no currency, I get that you get it. I just want my popped corn, yeah?

[inheavenslight]

[And Luce steps back. Hey brah, don't invade the personal space.]

You're acting it.

[kingofdogs]

[It's natural, give him some slack but he likely knows by now that Luce doesn't like. Keeping his ground though, he doesn't move closer.] I think I have the right t' be pissed off.

I didn't ask t' be here! I didn't asked t' be introduced to their cuisine and get addicted to that sweet shit. [A pause.] Repercussions.

[inheavenslight]

No one asked to be here. And we should be at least glad they provide us with food until we could maintain our own stock of it.

[kingofdogs]

You're an unmovable fuck, you know that? [Frustration--why wont he react? It's so easy for other people!]

It's a fucked up place and you're defending the people who did this to us! Oh, well--oh dear, yes they've given us food even though they brought us here against our will I think I'll bake them something. [E X H A L E.]

Seriously?

[inheavenslight]

Well, what can we do? [Frown] Unless you can make a door to someplace else, there is no use in wasting the energy for it.

[kingofdogs]

[Oh, that look. Nope, keep that look to yourself.] If I could make a door--

I'd be a craftsman and I am not a craftsman. So I'll waste all the energy I want. What else am I going to use it on anyway? [He holds up his hands.] It's endless, I'm not used t' this stationary shit.

[inheavenslight]

Well screaming bothers everyone and is still wasting energy! You could go read.

[kingofdogs]

You-- [Striking a cord there, Luce.]

You should know how I feel about books by now, you know that I'm not that good at rea--I can't waste my time on that shit! Asides, bein' loud is important, better than whisperin' all the time so no one can hear you and you always have someone goin' what what what and havin' to repeat yourself.

[inheavenslight]

You know I feel like you can practice. I have been working on my pensmanship. [Which everyone knows is terrible.]

[kingofdogs]

What if I don't wanna practice? What if--when I get home it's not gonna change my situation much so why try? [He's riled up, but that's to be expected.]

[inheavenslight]

You always have room to improve yourself.

[kingofdogs]

Yeah, yeah--okay elder of the village. [He makes a face and turns his back with a throw of his hand.]

I'm out.
