ain't no party like a luceti-club party

[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.

It's called Luceti, even though I think that's not its real name or something? It's a big place that's kinda like a city only bigger, and everything's free!

[mysicksadlife]

[Luceti. Alright, she couldn't't claim to know everywhere in the world, but her geography was pretty good. And she'd never heard of somewhere called Luceti.

Why was her delusion putting her somewhere she'd never heard of?

Wait.]

Quinn? Why do you seem to know more about what's going on in my own mind than I do? [In plainspeak: Why do you know things about this Luceti?]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Because I've been here for over a month! Ugh, don't tell me I'm gonna have to babysit you.

[mysicksadlife]

The day I need you as my babysitter, I'll know my mind is gone.

[A month? Was it possible that she'd been in some altered state that long, and is only realizing it now?]

If it was really a month ago, what's the last thing you remember from home?

[cuteisawayoflife]

I went to bed after doing my nightly hair and skin care routine and praying for world peace and stuff.

[mysicksadlife]

[Be patient, be patient.]

How about something a little more specific? That could be any night. [She won't argue over whether Quinn really even knows what world peace involves.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

It was the night I had that long talk with Stacy about eyebrow-waxing and the new lipstick colors coming out next month.

[mysicksadlife]

[Those are not relevant topics at all, Quinn. Still...]

I'm pretty sure you had a date tonight instead. So something's still weird here. [Could be that Quinn got stood up, but as much as she'd like to see Quinn flail over that idea, priorities.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

No, I only told Matthew maybe I'd go out with him Friday. [shrugs] Time passes differently here, though, in the real world it's like no time passed at all or something.

[mysicksadlife]

So you believe we're in some fantasy world? And that doesn't strike you as the least bit impossible?

[cuteisawayoflife]

Well, it is sort of a fantasy world. People here can use magic spells and some of them have these weird creatures that look like animals except they have powers.

[mysicksadlife]

[She repeats:]

And none of that seems like something so obviously unreal that this can't be happening?

[cuteisawayoflife]

Trust me, it is. If it were a dream I'd have woken up by now.

[mysicksadlife]

Not if it was a Saturday. [Dry humor: it helps.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

Ha ha, Daria.

[mysicksadlife]

[Hey, blandly joking to get through the day is what she does.]

If I ask how we didn't know you were gone for a month, would you start talking about time travel again?

[cuteisawayoflife]

[SIGH]

Look, ask one of the smart people around here, I'm still trying to wrap my head around it myself.

[mysicksadlife]

That must be what they brought me for. [She leaves the sentence unfinished: to make up for you in that regard. She's trying, really.]

For now, I'm kind of hungry. I don't suppose they have pizza somewhere like this?

[cuteisawayoflife]

[Yeah, well.]

I think so? I'd be surprised if they didn't, everywhere has at least one pizza place.

[mysicksadlife]

Come on. I never thought I'd end up saying this to you, but I'll buy you a slice.

[They have a lot to talk about.]

[cuteisawayoflife]

... [shrug] Sure, why not.


...thanks. I mean, sometimes you're pretty okay.

[mysicksadlife]

Just pretend this place is run by our parents, and we have to stick together to avoid you being grounded and me being subjected to another round of Monopoly.

[cuteisawayoflife]

Ugh, don't remind me. Sometimes I think they like it when we suffer!

[mysicksadlife]

They're our parents. It's their job to make us miserable.


And it's our job to give them grey hair.

[cuteisawayoflife]

[Aww, is that a real smile from Quinn? Let's face it, Daria can be pretty cool sometimes.]

That's always a plus!
