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.

You really think so? You're battier'n I thought. If no one else can leave here, why would it be so easy for you to get out?

[Even though, really, if the Joker could escape without letting anyone else find out how he did it, he'd still be doing everyone a favor...!]

[inmateincharge]

Oohoohoo! Kid, do you know about my track record for breaking out of places? ...What am I saying? Of course you do! I mean, really - I don't know how many times people keep saying that they've made it so Arkham is "inescapable", but I still manage to get out! Sure, this place ain't Arkham, but nothing's inescapable.

[Well, his Plan A is pumping the enclosure full of Joker Venom, seeing how air gets into and out of the place, and working from there. All of his other plans are just as bad, probably.]

[curiositykills]

Because someone keeps forgettin' to put the lid on the loony bin. But these guys have a better memory.

[And seriously, whose brilliant idea is it to keep putting this guy in the asylum, anywa— oh, right.]

[inmateincharge]

Oh, but they'll screw up eventually. They always do. [Sure, nobody's escaped yet, but he figures that, unlike everybody else, he knows what sort of things to look for.]

By the way, what's with that outfit? I know that Bats tries to dress you little acro-brats as ridiculously as possible, but you'd think that he'd at least get you a pair of pants!

[curiositykills]

I never thought I'd see the day where a clown tried to give me fashion advice. Lose the makeup and then we'll talk, pal.

[inmateincharge]

Oh, I don't need makeup to keep my face looking this good! [Even if his face was in the state that it was in before he got to Luceti - one giant rash, more or less - he'd still be saying that.]

[curiositykills]

I think it could still use some work. But don't worry, I'll be glad to touch it up for you.

[inmateincharge]

Though I'm sure that you've got a Bat Make-Up Kit in that utility belt of yours, just in case, I'll have to take a rain check on that.

[curiositykills]

Then don't give me a reason to make it up to you.

[inmateincharge]

Oh, you know me - sometimes, I just can't help myself! But really, this is all rather silly, isn't it? Such thinly-veiled threats tend to work better when you aren't so... [He hums and haws for a bit, trying to think of the right word.] ...short.

[curiositykills]

You're one to talk about what's silly. [And he can't help his shortness, gosh. That aside... He doesn't like the idea of letting him go. He really doesn't. Technically, the Joker hadn't done anything wrong yet, but Robin knew he would. What were you supposed to do in an instant like that?

So grudgingly, he turns away. He'll do things Batman's way... but just this once.] But just you wait, Joker. Try something funny and he'll be there before you can open your mouth to laugh.
