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.

Noda | Angel Beats!

[hatesguns]

[Noda is furious. Extremely furious.

Why is the grocery store out of food?! How can that be possible?!]

Then why isn't the store restocking its shelves?!

[Noda's hollering at the top of his lungs at the poor employee, swinging his halberd around a little carelessly.]

[shinesbrightest]

[what is happening here

Shinji feels worse for the person being yelled at, but all this noise can't be good, either, and— why is that guy swinging that thing in a store?!]

I-isn't that a little dangerous?

[He regrets speaking up before the words are even out of his mouth.]

[hatesguns]

[Riled up Noda without the presence of a certain SSS leader is something that would be difficult to control unless you know how to deal with morons.

He now changes his attention from the poor worker to you, giving a glare at your direction.]

What is dangerous? The halberd stays with me at all times!

[shinesbrightest]

[Shinji sighs. ...he should actually probably be concerned, but he can't help it. He's already seen so many weird things in Luceti.]

But do you really have to swing it around like that?

[hatesguns]

I am well aware of where I'm pointing the blade at. Unless you want to be stabbed, then there's no need to worry.

[He looks overly confident saying that...]

[shinesbrightest]

Who would want that? That's a weird thing to say.

[He's not sure how he feels about that confident look. He's so judging.]

[hatesguns]

[Please forgive him, for he had stayed in an afterlife world a little too long and doesn't have the value of life firmly replanted in his head.

Noda gives a blank stare in response.]

That is why I said there is no need to worry. I know what I'm doing with my halberd axe.

[latent]

[...

Man just when she wanted a normal day in Luceti.]

Cut out the ruckus, you'll poke your eye out with that thing.

[Or smash it against his head. You get the idea.]

[hatesguns]

[Sorry lady.

He looks over and scoffs.]

I'm not an idiot who would get himself killed by his own weapon.

[Which is what exactly happens in Episode 1 of the anime.]

[latent]

But you're enough of one to swing it around just because you can't get a meal.

[hatesguns]

[Urk, that's true. Noda gives a troubled look, not able to respond back. His habit from being in the afterlife was still strong and it was hard to break it.]

...Then the store should do its job to keep its supplies on the shelves.

[latent]

I agree. It is irresponsible to not keep to their jobs. But swinging that axe around like its a toy won't solve anything.

[hatesguns]

[NO ONE DISSES HIS HALBERD]

You dare belittle my choice of weapon to a mere toy???

aaaahhh~

[trainwrecking]

[Noda... WHYYYY. Most people say, oh darn it and go ahead and deal with it. NOT NODA.]

You can't do that..! Just wait for them to restock...!

oh hello~

[hatesguns]

[NEVER FOR HIM. WHAT'S COMMON SENSE]

Then perhaps this store should work on restocking it faster!

[He points at Otonashi with his halberd blade.] How would you feel when the items you specifically want are out of stock?!

[What is making any sense??]

hello \o i'm here too please accept me

[trainwrecking]

[Instinctively, he holds his hands up to defend himself.]

Wh―?! I would just deal with it, not swing a polearm around and make an idiot out of myself!

The store employee can't make them stock faster. Leave them alone!

accepting you any day 8D

[hatesguns]

Then they should have kept check of the stock before they ran out!!

[Swinging his halberd around some more yep.]

[trainwrecking]

What if they did but didn't account for how many customers they would have?! Or didn't count on a big order? Everything is free, people can just take whatever they want..!

[Otonashi Yuzuru used logic! That halberd clips some of his shirt, so he immediately backs up.]

Can you― nngh! Can you please put that down?! We aren't dead anymore, we can't just die and wake up...

[hatesguns]

[Noda goes quiet before putting down his halberd.]

Tch... Fine.

[Now that he's not swinging the halberd around he's a lot more quieter. Yay?]

...I've come in the wrong time then, I should have come when everything was free.

[...He's getting all the wrong points, yep.]

[frequent_flyer]

[Hinata is used to the sound of chaos, so he nonchalantly walks up behind Noda, patting him on the shoulder.]

Oi, oi... Leave the poor girl alone! I'll handle this...

[He tugs Noda back a little, skirting around to stand in front of him, feeling the need to calm the poor grocery store employee down.]

Sorry about him, he's an idiot. He should know better than to... [Cue slow-motion hair-toss and heart-melting grin, complete with cherry blossom petals floating on the breeze and maybe some sparkles.] ...trouble a pretty girl like you.

[hatesguns]

[Noda stumbles back and watches Hinata do his thing. His rage disappears and a sense of apathy sets in as he stares at Hinata be himself.]

Hmph, like that would work.

[He folds his arms across his chest with the halberd's pole between his arms. At least he isn't yelling and going crazy like a barbarian anymore.]

[frequent_flyer]

[Whatever, Noda. It did work.]

[...sort of. She stopped looking like she were about to cry, at least. Hinata was then free to grab Noda by the shoulders and shove him away from the store.]

Time to go..!

[Once they were out of earshot, he'd let Noda go, grinning lazily as he often did.] Ah... You really did a number on that poor girl! What happened, they didn't have what you wanted?

[hatesguns]

Why else would a customer be yelling at the workers at a store? Of course they didn't have what I wanted to acquire!

[He's looking frustrated, but he's definitely a lot calmer than before.]

[frequent_flyer]

Well, that's not the fault of the girl greeting people at the door, is it?

[He reached up to link his fingers behind his head.] You have to get the manager for things like that! Maybe you just like brandishing your axe at innocent girls...

fawelkfj that expression makes me crack up for no reason

[hatesguns]

[Of course Noda hadn't thought of that. Now he had a look of guilt on his face.]

I suppose that's true...

[What's that you said last?] No, I was not trying to harm that girl!
