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.

Charlie Gage-Radcliffe / "Misfit" | DC Comics

[grosstesque]

[Charlie has seen and experienced a lot of strange things in her life, and while she's not entirely sure if being summoned somewhere against her will is at the top of the list, it's pretty high up there.

Still, she's teleported from America to Russia with no trouble, so getting out of this place should be easy! She just needs to do a quick 'port and--

Nope, still in the enclosure.

Hm.

Maybe she'll be able to get out after a few more tries! (No, she won't.)]

[wildbluevagner]

[Someone blue and fuzzy will manage to witness one short distance telportation. And he makes himself teleport in front of her - his own teleportation accompanied by a cloud of smoke, the smell of brimstone and a BAMF sound.]

Are we racing?

[grosstesque]

[... Oh hi, blue, fuzzy person.]

No... ? I'm trying to get out of here.

[wildbluevagner]

I'm afraid it's not that easy. Take it from one porter to another.

[grosstesque]

[Sorry, Kurt, but Charlie is stubborn, and she isn't ready to accept that she can't actually leave.]

Maybe you're just not strong enough to get out! How far can you normally bounce?

[wildbluevagner]

Hey, I'm plenty strong! My limit's two miles. But here? Everything's down by half.

[grosstesque]

Yeah? Well, I've bounced myself across the world! [So take that! ... Wait, this isn't a competition. But still, she totally wins.]

But how big is this place, anyway? Even if I can only go halfway, I should still be able to get out.

[wildbluevagner]

Nuh-huh, you've got to be cheating! [But wait, this isn't a competition. But still, not fear.]

But that's besides the point. The thing is... I don't know exactly how big this place is, but no matter how far you go? There's a barrier that none of us can pass.

[grosstesque]

[She will argue about her totally awesome 'porting being way more awesome than his later, because this is a bit more important. For now, anyway.]

That's so not fair! Hasn't anybody found a way to get past it?

[trollkiller]

[Whoa, lookin' pretty magical over there, Charlie! And Orphen likes magic. He calls out to her, hoping to catch her before she disappears again.]

Hey, nice one! Mind telling me where you learned it?

[grosstesque]

[Bwuh?]

Oh, it's just... something I've always been able to do!

[trollkiller]

Not bad. It's not gonna get you very far here, though. This place just doesn't work like that.

[grosstesque]

[Yeah, that's... something she's slowly starting to get.]

I noticed.

[trollkiller]

Sorry about that, kid. Believe me, I did the same thing when I got here. This place is nothing but boredom and a pile of headaches.

[grosstesque]

I'm not a kid! [Clearly the most important thing to acknowledge.] I'm really mature for my age, you know!

[trollkiller]

Last time I checked, that still makes you a kid. But so far, you're not as bad as some of the kids I've met.

[So far...]

[grosstesque]

Hey, I'll have you know that I'm way cooler than any kid you'd know!

[teenwonder]

[Spontaneous teleportation can really get in the way of a good midnight stakeout. Robin sets his binoculars down and stares in the direction of the new arrival, otherwise visually unperturbed.]

You're new.

[And you're in the way. Kindly move to another rooftop if you please.]

late forever I AM SORRY

[grosstesque]

And you're Robin. [And not as cool as Babs. Not by a long shot.]

So what're you after, anyway?

BE NOT SORRY I tagged you late in the first place

[teenwonder]

[Great. Someone else who knows him for some reason. Because that never gets old.]

I should be asking you that question. You're the one who teleported in on me.

[grosstesque]

Just checking the place out. [Sort of.] Besides, it's not my fault you decided to show up on this rooftop when I bounced here.

[teenwonder]

[Okay, so she's aggressive. How... Endearing. Robin has a habit of getting into ridiculous fights for small reasons, but this girl's obviously just someone with a chip on her shoulder looking for a fight. He'll just go back to his stakeout, thanks. Feel free to let yourself out the same way you came in, newbie.]

[grosstesque]

[Excuse you, she's not looking for a fight. She's just... well. Stubborn and enthusiastic. Among other things.

Either way Charlie's just going to go back to grinning and crouching down next to Robin.]

Anyway, you didn't answer my question. What're we looking for? [Because HEROES WORK TOGETHER even if she'd rather still be working with Oracle.]

[teenwonder]

. . . "We"?

[What. Who is Oracle even. Dude spoilers. Robin's at least five years too young to have the slightest frame of reference for this action tag that he can't read anyway.]

[grosstesque]

[SPOILERS: those are all things that happen. In an alternate universe, anyway. Thank goodness he can't see these spoilery goodness action tags.]

We're both heroes, right? So if there's stuff going on, we could work together! I mean, you're no Batgirl, but I know you're pretty good, too.
