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.

Haruno Sakura || Naruto

[medicalpunch]

[There are all kinds of places you could catch an industrious young medic-nin. She's doing her best to stay busy, accepting that she is here for now and that the people here she trusts have verified that going out and just punching the barrier into oblivion is not a possibility.

She still kind of wants to try it sometime, though. Just to be sure for herself.

But for the moment, she might be found in one of the clinics (naturally), handing out healing and lectures on how not to be dumb enough to get hurt like that again.

Or she might be training -- as much as the Battle Dome is fascinating, there's also something pleasantly visceral about just getting out and punching an actual physical target into rewardingly-massive destruction.

Or she might be just gong about her day, trying to be brisk and efficient, doing her best to be Tsunade (a better Tsunade, a less drunken and gambling-addicted Tsunade, all the best parts of her teacher and none of the worst) for Luceti, because she feels like it's needed.]

[endgames]

[In this mythical memeland where Shikamaru is not stuck in the clinic until further notice... his favorite training ground now has a gaping chasm running through it courtesy of Sakura's fist. 8|]

Aren't medics suppose to fix things?

[medicalpunch]

[She dusts off her knuckles, looking pleased.]

Some things, maybe. Not all of them.

[endgames]

[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.

[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.]

[endgames]

[Thank you for your consideration. 8|]

There was a giant wolf god who would ferociously guard these parts, until her departure some months ago.

[medicalpunch]

... Ah. Well, I'm glad she's not about any more, then.

[Because it's not like populated areas are a good place for her to cut loose 8|a]

[endgames]

She was surprisingly wise, actually. Just protective.

[He waves a hand.] But it's neither here nor there now, I suppose. Are you adjusting to the power cap?

[medicalpunch]

I am. [She nods, frowning a little at her fist and at the destruction she's wrought.]

It isn't as though I had much to start with.

[niceguypose]

[And Lee will be rushing over to witness her train in the forest, in a perpetual state of giddiness since her arrival.]

Sakura-san! You are performing as admirably as ever, maybe even moreso!

[medicalpunch]

[Whoa okay not throwing down another punch with Lee running over! She straightens, letting the chakra recede from her arm.]

This place certainly is good for practicing control! Hello, Lee.

[niceguypose]

[He gives a light bow of greeting as he comes to a halt.]

Hello, Sakura-san! It is true. Despite all the negative things about this place, it is ideal for training! I suppose the power limitations here must make it akin to perpetually training with weights!

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[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.

[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.]

[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.

[medicalpunch]

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

[floralogy]

Then, they're out of luck.

[She finishes her bff's sentence with a giggle.]

Is this the same principle you go by when it comes to boys? [Which is why your love life is non-existent?]

[medicalpunch]

[Sakura starts to grin at that familiar refrain...

Then her expression freezes into a poisonous glare. That was low, biffle.]

So maybe I have standards. That no one has managed to meet yet.

[floralogy]

Hey, I have standards too but some guys managed to meet them and one even went over the top that I couldn't resist.

[Translation: you're just terribly unlucky with guys.]

[medicalpunch]

Maybe my standards are just higher.

[She would like to think that. Because she doesn't want to be Tsunade II in that department.]

[floralogy]

Maybe you just plan to grow up as an old maid.

[Maybe she also wants to be Tsunade II in that department?]

[medicalpunch]

[No, no she definitely does not want to be Tsunade II in that department. Cause look how it turned out for Tsunade I.]

I can assure you that's not in the plan! I just have to find the right guy, that's all.
