ain't no party like a luceti-club party

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.

well this is a good thing!

[markofthewise]

... yeah. That would be hard. [And lonely. So lonely. Poor Suki. Poor dad.] I guess this place really is a step up, huh?

I'd hope so!

[theyreclumps]

[She nods.] Right! And there's a lot more freedom with what we can do here!

[markofthewise]

[Freedom... being relative.]

That's a good attitude! Most people hate it right off.

[theyreclumps]

[Man, Ty Lee is all about having a good attitude.]

Well, I'm in a new place with lots of different people, pretty wings, and there aren't any bars or big, mean prisoners who hate the Fire Nation! I don't see any reason to hate it!

[markofthewise]

Well there's still the experiments, ongoing war, kidnappings, and inescapable situation. [Blunt. That's what he's all about.] But other than that, it's pretty decent!

[theyreclumps]

[WOW WAY TO RAIN ON HER PARADE, SOKKA.]

I guess so, but... why not make the best of it? [Her glass will forever be half-full.] Even if there's a lot of bad stuff happening, as long as there's something that's good, then I'm happy!

[markofthewise]

Wow. That's a lot of optimism. And I thought Aang and my sister were bad.

[Except Aang would probably say that too. And Katara... well, she would have, at a time.]

[theyreclumps]

So? What's so bad about optimism?

[markofthewise]

Well, I wouldn't say it's deceitful, but it is very misleading.

[theyreclumps]

Being optimistic isn't misleading! [HMPH.] It's just not being pessimistic! Sure, things can be really bad, but just because someone wants to look on the brighter side of a problem doesn't mean that they're pretending the problem doesn't really exist! It's pointless to just spend all your time crying and whining about how bad something is.

I mean, if that's all somebody thinks about all the time, then of course they're going to be unhappy. It's just a matter of punching those bad feelings in the face with some happy! [That... wasn't really the best way to describe it, but there you go.]

[markofthewise]

... punching them with some happy, huh? [A snicker.]

Well, I'm not crying. I'm not a pessimist. Just a realist, that's all.

[theyreclumps]

You can be optimistic and still be realistic at the same time! It's not letting reality get you down. And, you know, the happy punching.

It's not that hard.

[markofthewise]

Maybe you can be. But I tend to find that it's extremely rare. Reality tends to make people pessimistic.
