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.

[Greed grabs the weapon before it gets too far.]

Not so fast. Don't you remember who I am? I want everything. Need doesn't even come into it. I saw the weapons. I liked them. Now they're mine. They're all free here, remember?

[oftheyin]

Yes, but what are you going to do with them, and where are you going to put them?

[gqueen]

[...She doesn't know how to feel about this stranger looking at her like that.]

Well, I just want to make sure I take something I like. That's why I'm trying everything on. Is it ok to just take more than one thing?

[She only just arrived in Luceti last night. Figuring out how things work here is still a priority.]

Oh, I'm sorry... I guess I should stop.

[menial]

Asahina-san! No, don't get up! ['Because she was in so much danger of being able to do that from that little head tilt.] I-I'll get you...

[In actuality, he's totally winded by the time he gets there.

'But will press on nevertheless! Is it a mirage?! It's exactly the shape that a mirage in the cold, dark wintertime would take for me. I don't think I ate any bad food, but... Whatever! Let's put it to the test!'

So with that, he does manage to offer a perfunctory hand to help her up from that fall.]

It's okay! You'll be okay.

i don't know if stopping would be worse or better now...

[moescot]

[ She lets out a small cry as she attempts to stand up once again, but soon falls on her butt. Okay, time for Plan B, which is to grab Kyon's hand and manage to stand up.

Though she's still on the verge of falling as she tries to steady herself. But when she does, she gives a deep sigh of relief. ]

Thank goodness... [ And then give a gentle smile at her savior. ] Thank you, Kyon-kun.

[moescot]

Um...

[ Her voice is soft as she gives him an awkward stare, tilting her head as she gives him a deer in the headlights look, slightly confused. ]

I'm not sure... I'm sorry.

[theboywiththebook]

[Well this kid will appreciate the king for not killing said bear.]

All right!

[theboywiththebook]

Are you some kind of dragon?

[Because he does look like a dragon...but he seems very nice for a dragon.]

[avaricious]

Maybe I'll find a house for them. There's plenty of empty ones to choose from.

[avaricious]

[He's just a normal immortal homunculus stuck in the body of a teenage boy. These sorts of things are inevitable.]

It's more than okay. Everything's free here, if you haven't already read the brochure. In fact, I insist. Feel free to load up on everything you want. What's the point if you don't have a little variety, right?

[oftheyin]

[She turned away, feeling this awful pain in her chest.]

If that's what you wish. However, I can... I cannot allow you to live alone.

[avaricious]

Is that right. You want to move in with me, do you? Well, I usually don't just take in anyone. But if you're willing to follow orders, then I'm sure I can make an exception.

oh yeah? and why is that?

[menial]

['Oh ha ha! It's not a probldlmkfjsecidlksakldmfsdklfmasahina-san!!!

Maybe I'll never wash this hand again.']

A-A-Anytime, Asahina-san! I can't believe you're back...

Wait. Uh. Do you remember... being here?

[oftheyin]

It is only to watch over my prince's body. It has nothing to do with you.

i... don't know, i'm just indecisive!!

[moescot]

Eh?

[ Mikuru gives him her usual deer in the headlights look. And that actually shows that she has no idea what he's talking about at all whatsoever. ]

I'm sorry, but I don't...

[makethembelieve]

The year, sir? [She smiles.] I suppose that does matter, doesn't it?

1803, sir. War has come again.

[greenjacketed]

Oh-three. Lessee, now.

[ he makes a show of tipping back on his chair. tabulating the years. but he finds himself mildly surprised at his conclusion. ] Christ. In 1803, I were still in India.

[gqueen]

Oh? Um, alright then. [Still not sure why a stranger is encouraging to take stuff so much. Hm.] Are you the store owner or something?

[charitylovehopefaith]

[A less-than-polished servant to king and country, eager to help a young woman without looking for much by the way of repayment.

She knows the sort.

Sweet, charming, and, now, not to be trusted.]

Indeed, Major. I hope I shall be able to answer your generosity properly.

[She smiles warmly.]

Some mending, perhaps?

[greenjacketed]

...Oh, Miss Long. [ when pressed, he seems happy to accept this token. ] Some mending would be grand.

[ sharpe kicks open a canvas tote and begins stuffing it with an adequate supply of logs. ] Seems I can't have a single one of me own articles turn up without a bullet hole or two still in 'em.

[risingwinds]

[...Drat. No escaping now.

Well, he could walk away, but even if this is Vanitas he's dealing with, it'd be rude to just wander off. Sigh.]

It's called Luceti. It's in some world nobody knows the name of, and a bunch of creeps called the Malnosso run the show.

[There. That oughta cover the basics. If Vanitas pays close enough attention, though, he might notice Ven's fingers twitching, as if he's about to summon his Keyblade at any minute.

But a fight's the last thing he wants right now.]

[vainvoid]

[Vanitas notices Ven's twitching fingers, but does nothing. He wants information first]

I'm guessing there's no way out, huh?

[risingwinds]

[He shakes his head.]

It's all random. And even when people do leave, they could always come back.

[Usually without memories.]

[vainvoid]

So, how long have you been here?

[risingwinds]

Two years.

[...This conversation's going surprisingly smoothly, but there has to be a catch. While a part of him's tempted to relax a little, he can't let his guard down. For all he knows, Vanitas could be weeding the info out of him before doing something drastic. Hm.]

If that doesn't make sense, well... time works differently here.
