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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Though, his features turn a little wistful.]

But, I'm really curious as to how much he had grown. From Naruto's stories, he seems to be a really good sensei. [Who values bonds. Minato knows just how much Obito's death changed him.]

A better sensei than he gives himself credit for, at any rate -but that's Kakashi for you. The day he stops being a bloody perfectionist will be the end of the world.

He just hides it better now, that's all.

[He tilts his head back a little.]

Almost wish he'd show up here, just so you can see him.

It'd be strange seeing him a grown man when I was so used to patting his head.

[Yeah, that'd be the day. Though, while he misses Kushina a lot, he also misses his students. But he knows this place isn't the right avenue for all this.]

Though, you know just as well as I do that we shouldn't wish this place on anyone.

Mm, true, we shouldn't, but... heh. What other options are there, really? It could be worse, really.

[Not telling Minato how much worse, though. Let's not even mention that whole him being horribly killed by his own students thing.]

Well, if he's brought here, he is, and if he isn't, he isn't. Not like we have much say in the matter.

[Having no say in the matter saddens Minato that he looks down from where he's seated.]

That's... what's been bothering me, to be honest. [A frown.] I know my being the Hokage matters little in this place, but for my fellow Konoha shinobi...

[He trails off. He also knows he's not the Hokage anymore from what the others told him. But what's the use of becoming a Hokage when he can't even spark hope for anyone of these Konoha citizens trapped in this world?]

You do what you can. That's what any of us ever do, you know.

[He sets the papers aside and stretches.]

Think of it as a vacation! You don't have any of that postwar mess to deal with. Just a handful of your people, and you can inspire most of 'em just by flashing a smile in the morning!

[Jiraiya has a point. They can just do what they can, but the helplessness at times can't help but eat Minato away. His comrades are suffering from an unknown, powerful source and as Hokage, he deems he should be doing everything.

Though he also knows his sensei's right.]

I doubt I inspire anyone just by smiling.

You might be surprised. You're quite the hero, kid. And you've always inspired - or at least scared the shit out of the other guys - when you show up.

[He might not say it much, but damn, is he proud of Minato.]

[A little smile. He can feel the pride, Jiraiya, and he's happy that he makes you proud, that he makes anyone proud for that matter.]

That's quite the advantage in the battlefield, I have to admit. [Especially in a war.] But I'm happy that I can be a hero to my people, if not for the ones I care about the most. [Being a Dad is already a hero in itself.]

I guess I should smile often, huh?

[Jiraiya chuckles, grinning himself.]

As often as you can. Besides, smiles ease the way.

[It's his own way, after all - facing everything with flippant smiles and laughter.]

[And Minato gives a dorky grin.]

I learn from the best.

[Aww, at least someone appreciates him!]

You sure do!

[Of course, he does.]

But I didn't learn one thing. Your perversion.

Clearly, it means I need to work harder!

[Er, backing away a bit.]

No, that's where you should stop.

[Because there's no way his wife will take this lightly. That, and perving on other women is inappropriate (even if most of them might want him to peek on them anyway).]

Me, stop? Ha. Never! You should know me better than that, Minato!

[Well, there's nothing that says his flirting can't be reserved for Kushina!]

That explains a lot on why I wasn't surprised you're going to say that.

[Shush, he flirts on his wife a lot. In his own subtle and derpy way.]

And the next step is just to expect it! I'm like the wind and the rain, can't stop me, just know I'll be there.
