there is no place quite like this place if we get it on the go

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.

[He plops himself down on a giant slab of earth that's been raised from the ground at an angle.]

Heh. You're so lucky you weren't here some months ago.

[floralogy]

[Here is Ino approaching her after one of her lectures.]

You sure know how to scare people into not getting hurt again, huh, Forehead? Cuts us some slack, in my opinion.

Leah | Journey into Mystery

[not_a_troll]

[Unlike Leah, Loki does sleep, at least most of the time. This time he wakes up, raids the fridge for a cheese/ketchup sandwich and returns to his bed.

Before he lies down he moves to look out of the window, thoughtfully chewing on his sandwich while he looks at his bff sitting there in the grass.]

You are what Midgardians call a stalker, Leah.

[He has opened the window now and is grinning broadly.]

[medicalpunch]

Oh? How do you mean?

[She moves into doing some stretches now, out of respect for Shikamaru being there and at risk of flying debris if she keeps up the punching - and also just because it feels good.]

[medicalpunch]

Something like that, yes. If only we could keep that extra training when we go home - but from what I've heard, we won't?

[Seeking some confirmation, there - the whole concept is still a bit questionable for her.]

[medicalpunch]

I've learned it from the best, after all. If they don't have the good sense to duck...

Bring it on!

[makethembelieve]

[Now, here's a familiar face.

Not the man himself, no. They've never met. But he might as well be the dearest friend of her fictional brother for how happy she is to see him his carriage, the sound of his voice, even the look to his face. She has known a hundred men like this. He may never have been to Gibraltar, but his kind has.

And Charlotte is happy to know that there is something close to the world she knows here.

Her soft smile is well-practised. She drops into a polite curtsy and lowers her gaze, every show of a proper society lady. She can't yet be sure how she fits into this place, so she is cautious.]

Sir.

[niceguypose]

This is correct, Sakura-san. As far as I know, once one returns home, it is as if they were never here, either in a physical or mental sense.

[xenamorph]

[She tries to summon up anger, or at least irritation, but the... whatever it is... just seemed so genuinely remorseful. And sad.

And kind of... cute.]

"It's fine. Just... be more careful next time, okay?"

[medicalpunch]

It's so bizarre. A power such as that...

[She frowns]

And yet, there aren't any indications that this is a genjutsu... it seems like the only logical possibility, though.

[Some part of her still wonders if something like the Moon's Eye would be powerful enough not to show those indications.]

[greenjacketed]

[ with a hard swallow and a stiff bow, he struggles to present a decently composed facade. ]

I...[ he couldn't simply tell her that her method of attire had caught his eye. that wasn't decent talk. not at all. ] A-are you meeting anyone, ma'am?

[niceguypose]

[Truly this is the Uchihas' wonderland.]

I wondered the same when I arrived here. But Shikamaru-kun has been here for much longer, and he's attested that it is not. It takes some time to process all of these... unusual concepts.

[wildbluevagner]

I should've guessed from seeing you in actions! For some reason, people with abilities like us can't just settle for just being extremely efficient pizza delivery guys - and gals.

[medicalpunch]

[Although wouldn't they have cat ears in that case? 8|a]

Unusual's the right word for it. This is a mess.

[And it's one thing to be told that no time's passing at home, but she still feels that restless need to be there, to be doing something useful for the war.]

[makethembelieve]

[To her credit, Charlotte manages not to laugh.

Not that it would have been meanness, but it's wonderful enough to speak to someone who reminds her of her home. To be asked after in this fashion is a treat.

He smile remains.]

No, sir. I'm afraid I'm quite alone in this place.

[greenjacketed]

It's settled, then -- [ he says in a building rush of confidence. she hasn't turned him away, yet. that's a good sign. ] You'll sit with me. A creature such as yourself shouldn't be without company in an establishment such as this one.

[makethembelieve]

You are too kind, sir.

[This is perhaps the safest place of this sort she's ever been alone in, but Charlotte is not one to dissuade acts of chivalry. That will disappear soon enough, once he knows what she is.

For now, she can enjoy herself.]

I am still very new here, and it is a great relief to know there are gentlemen such as yourself present.

[greenjacketed]

[ he laughs -- gravelled and wry but friendly. ] I'm no true gentleman, ma'am. But a soldier can try.

[ sharpe gestures at the seat across from him with an empty hand, though he'll remain standing for as long as she does. ] And it's kind of you to say so, by any means.

[greenjacketed]

...What's so funny about it?

[ to his credit, he only looks so sour on account of the scar that ran across his cheek. it lifts his lip into a semi-sneer so long as he wasn't actively smiling. ]

[makethembelieve]

More of a gentleman than I've yet to meet since coming here. [She laughs softly, a sweet sound. She'd have been better off on the stage, really.] And more of one than I've seen for some time before I found myself transported.

[She takes the seat across from him, folding her hands in her lap as she looks about.]

I have heard incredible things about this place in the short while I have had to grow accustomed to it.

Oh! [She smiles again.] How rude of me.

It is so strange to make the acquaintance of a gentleman directly that I forgot entirely about introductions. My name is Charlotte Pryce, sir.

[trollkiller]

A few months. This is the second time, too. This place just can't get enough of me.

[greenjacketed]

Miss Pryce. [ he greets her breathlessly -- very much in the mode of a man who desperately hopes he's correct in applying the title miss to this elegant face. anything else would be tragic. disappointing. truly.

sharpe lowers himself back into his chair. ] Richard. Sharpe. Richard Sharpe. [ his own introduction is garbled and clumsy. as though he forgets the order. as though he forgets himself. ] Major, miss. South Essex.

[ his throat feels tight. he's not often a prattler, but he feels compelled to keep talking. ] Incredible, it is. Been here for months. It ain't getting any less incredible as each one passes.

bending the seasons a bit for this one.

[greenjacketed]

[ the bloody wood had to bloody well get cut. but the sun is high and the breeze is absent and one industrious soldier sheds his linen shirt in the service of his task. the fabric crumples onto the grass and he leans down to reclaim his axe. he works with his front facing the river, but this has the unintended consequence of turning his whip-scarred back towards the path.

he has never been ashamed of the marks. how can you be ashamed of a punishment you didn't deserve? but he doesn't flaunt them, either. it's a delicate subject for most.

but today, the privacy simply isn't worth it. ]

[makethembelieve]

A major. What fine company I have found myself in!

[She makes no correction to the 'Miss.' It's perhaps inaccurate, but using 'Missus' is bad for business. And is one really still married with a husband dead these last ten years?

It doesn't really matter. It hasn't for some time.]

I was in Gibraltar for many years before I found myself here. I haven't been to England in some years.

Vanitas | Kingdom Hearts

[vainvoid]

[Anyone in the plaza would encounter a boy who looks identical to Sora, save for the black hair and gold eyes. He's dressed in a black and red bodysuit.]

Where the hell am I?

[Care to approach him anyone brave enough?]
