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.

[ The redhead blinks twice, tilting her head to the side before opening her mouth, closing it, and then opening it up again to speak in a soft, light voice. ]

Koizumi-kun? You're here too...?

[expositsuki]

[He shrugs lightly and raises his palms in an arc, the very picture of smiling helplessness.]

It would appear so. I was enjoying a quiet dinner at home when it happened. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly found myself in the snow.

[After a thought, he unzips his heavy outer jacket with the intention of giving it to Mikuru. He's used to seeing her in these outfits, but it's really too sad a sight in this weather.]

[moescot]

I see.

[ She then takes the jacket from the underclassman, smiling gently at him as she gives a small nod in thanks. ]

Um... thank you, Koizumi-kun.

[expositsuki]

[Koizumi smiles pleasantly in return, and he is lucky that Kyon isn't around to pulverize his face into a thousand indistinguishable pieces for it.]

It's my pleasure. But why are you dressed like that in the first place?

[moescot]

Ah, um, w- well...

[ The coat feels warm at least, though her legs are still shaking from the cold a little. Or make that a lot. ]

Suzumiya-san...

[expositsuki]

[As was expected. His smile turns one part sympathetic and another part apologetic.]

I see. Well, I don't think our brigade chief will mind if you take a moment to bring me up to speed. Shall we continue this conversation somewhere more convenient? I believe there's a tea shop nearby.

[moescot]

Ah... um, okay.

[ The girl twiddles her fingers nervously, not really sure what to do. She's never exactly been alone with the esper before, after all. ]

[expositsuki]

[If he's aware of her discomfort, he doesn't show it. He gestures with a hand in the direction of the tea shop as if to say "after you," but he'll walk alongside her once she finds her feet.]

Aside from the weather, have you found everything to be all right?

[moescot]

[ And Mikuru starts walking alongside the esper, giving an awkward smile as she nodded at his question. ]

Y-yes! Everyone's really nice to me, and... it's really nice here, despite the fact that it's not our home world.

[expositsuki]

Oh? "Not our world"? Can you say that for a fact?

[Said with a tone of mild but indulgent surprise, as if she announced she'd just returned from the Bahamas.]
