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.

[It's not something he's used to either- there's always been a distance between them, between him and all of the informants to some extent. Things are different here than home, he knows, but still...]

Exactly. We're up against a power unlike anything we'd have encountered back home, far greater than any colonizing black oil, than any shadow government...
[He looks at her, thoughtful.] But maybe you'll uncover something that I haven't.

[worldsaway]

Is that so? Then we are very much the same! It's always a pleasure to meet a fellow god, though I had not expected to. I suppose this place is full of surprises.

[He takes a long sip of his drink.] What are you capable of, if you don't mind my asking?

[worldsaway]

[Thor watches in quiet amusement. Something about the sight is so terribly funny. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that he hasn't seen Loki so small and so very awkward in a very long time.]

One can never be certain! If you desire it, I shall. [Still, he doesn't wait to confirm whether Loki wants it before he waves down the bar keep and has a large glass of ale placed in front of him.]

We most certainly can, but what will we toast for?

[windandrain]

Yes, most strange indeed. But never unpleasant. [She shakes her head and smiles. Even Moro hadn't been too bad.]

I don't mind, but only if you're willing to share. The weather bends to my will, though...[She rolls her eyes] It's limited by our keepers, much the same as anyone else.

[descrier]

[ She gives him a wary look, not quite entirely convinced. ]

I don't think my credentials — written or unwritten — would make any difference in a world like this, Mr. Mulder. If these people are what you say they are... they do not seem like the type who would want any diplomatic involvement within their experiments.

[ But she is here for a reason, isn't she? At least, that is what he would say. What Mulder or the Cancer Man or Krycek would say, but not her, as much as she believes. ]

[medicalpunch]

I'd hope so. Leaving a mess like this isn't really like me.

[She gives a little embarrassed laugh at that. Really, it's more like Konoha makes preparations to handle fighters whose techniques leave a lot of area damage. Still, it feels rude to leave it.]

Dug | Pixar's Up

[agooddog]

[ Oh boy oh boy oh boy this place has so many things for an energetic dog to explore! Dug can be seen around the village doing various things after his arrival.

1. Asking anyone he meets if they have seen his Master. He is old and smells like prunes and he loves him very much. He is also looking for the small mailman whose name is Russel.
2. He notices that there is something on his back, and turns to see it. Unfortunately he doesn't realize that they're wings and he ends up spinning around repeatedly.
3. Smelling all the interesting smells! Dug will be investigating trash cans, trees, houses, and people for whatever smells they might have.
4. Squirrel!

[trainwrecking]

Wh-- no! A battledome isn't like a baseball field! [Yep, totally raising that point. He looks around, adjusting his torn shirt.]

Ahh... there is a clearing, but don't you think it's kind of... cold?

[oneofthelost]

We have stories about an Asgard. [And a Thor, but it might be best not to say that.] But I don't know if it's the same thing or they just happen to share a name.

[latent]

In the hands of someone skilled, it is a weapon. In the hands of someone who swings it around without any regard for what he might hit, it's a toy.

[markofthewise]

[He shakes his head.]

Relax, Zuko. I know, it's crazy. I mean, I have wings. I'm used to them. And sure, you have the memory of a goldfish shrimp. But if everyone got out on their first day, then... well, you'd be here all alone scratching your head in an empty village.

[trainwrecking]

[SURE YOU DID, NODA.]

Then why the uhh... why the assault? You didn't know...

[At least the shop was safe, though. No more halberd-wielding formerly dead teen with too much testosterone.]

[niceguypose]

This is true. Sakura-san's power is always filled with elegance, grace and neatness. [He says with a reassuring smile.] Until it is fixed, I should prepare a sign to warn small children.

[most_unwanted]

No, I suppose not... it's a very different arena we've got going on here. But I hope that we can continue to work together here in some capacity, anyway. In a place like this... it helps to have close allies.

[He thinks of some of the experiements' effects, knowing they'd have been more difficult to bear without someone trustworthy around.]

[worldsaway]

It would not be of much surprise to me if you did! I'm not the only one of my kind to visit Earth, we do like to stir up a bit of fun in order to have out egos strokes, I am sure such things are documented!

[worldsaway]

If I am to expect nothing but pleasant surprises I've not much to complain about. Even if my absence from home concerns me.

We are indeed similar! Though storms are my specialty, as you may have heard. Thunder and lightning in particular.

[windandrain]

Well, in that we are similar. Lightning and Wind are my specialty.

[She beams and offers up a toast]

Have you been here long, Odinson?

[descrier]

[ She nods stiffly. ]

I will keep a look out for any opportunity that would arise in using my knowledge of... [ She pauses, as if mulling over the correct word to use. ] ...agency, but if you and Agent Scully have been here for some time... then I would assume the connections and network are much harder to gain than having an informant in the government.

Have you seen any of these men before?

[lordhotman]

[Zuko looks up and sighs. He'll ignore that goldfish shrimp comment.]

I guess you're right. ... But how can everyone just sit here and accept it? How can you accept it?

[medicalpunch]

[Oh Lee, you're such a flatterer. But in this case she's pretty sure that's not actually accurate.]

Oh, come on, I don't think 'neatness' really applies to my combat training. And what's the sign going to say? 'Caution, This is what happens when Sakura's annoyed'?

[She's teasing herself, more than anything else.]

[aintwejust]

...A talk'n pink horse.

[Let him just absorb that for a second or three.]

Jayne you haven't gone round drink'n anything funny have you?

[notagirlsname]

Naw, Cap'n. I ain't had nothin' since I got here.

[He figures 's better to find the bar after he finds his gun. Y'never know just what sorta folks'll be at the bar.]

Got a powerful hankerin' fer somethin' though. I ain't never been so...

[He trails off as his hands lovingly run along the barrel of a rather large gun, which he hefts, casually grabbing a pistol as well.]

There you are, baby. Missed ya.

[worldsaway]

And a fine specialty they are! There is nothing as thrilling as summoning a storm.

[He lifts his glass to meet hers before taking a swig.]

Not long. It's been scarcely a month since my arrival.

[windandrain]

Indeed!

[She takes a large drink as well, feeling the pleasant burn of the alcohol that isn't phasing her at all.]

Truly? Then I feel your brother has been hiding you from me! A shame, I shall have to give him a stern talking to.

[niceguypose]

It just always seems neat, I would say, even when being applied destructively. [And he just sees what he sees. Then he raises a finger.] Actually, the sign will instead refer to it as the result of your righteous fury.
