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.

Re: Jayne Cobb | Firefly

[Now there is a certain level of poetical vulgarity that Mal hadn't expected to hear in this strange a place, but know'n that someone from his crew was about has him check'n the shelves and spaces between with a wary eye. Sure enough there was one lumbering mass of misery and muscle glowering at the racks.]

Jayne. [Not quite as relieved as a man ought to be, but then. It's Jayne. Ain't no one really glad to see him right out the gate.] You miss'n something in particular?

[notagirlsname]

[The big man didn't even bother turning around, waving a hand dismissively as he kept shifting through the shelves, digging through swords and other junk. He is not at all surprised to find Mal here, but he does reel in his tongue a might more than he would've.]

She's missin', Cap'n. Some kid said he reckoned I could find her here, but I ain't seein' anything. Just...swords...

[Of course he's looking in the wrong section. Cunning he might be, but when he's in a mood he's none too bright.]

[aintwejust]

She, Jayne?

[The list of women that would be found while rifl'n through racks of weapons is a slim one. Zoe wouldn't be hid'n in there and Jayne wouldn't look. It took a bit before it clicked. That gun with the lady's name. Velma? Verla? Mal sits back on his heels for a moment and just watches Jayne work his way through the rack.]

Maybe you'd have more luck if you looked at the rack with guns on it.

[notagirlsname]

Oh. Uh...right.

[He starts eyein' the rest of the shop slowly, a sheepishly goofy grin on his face. He'd just diggin' through shelves one by one, of course. This was all so befuddlin' that Jayne was just a little thrown. Ok, more than a little. This was downright perplexin']

Uh, where do they keep 'em?

[aintwejust]

Saw rifles lined up all nice and pretty along the back wall. Pistols are up there too.

[He hadn't found his just yet, but apparently it took a bit of time. He could wait it out if things stayed calm. Even if he was gett'n a little itchy being on solid ground for so long.]

[notagirlsname]

[Grumbling up a storm, the big man stomped over to where Mal'd said, and began pawing through the racks, mutterin' sullenly to himself. He could definitely get that Mal was feelin' the same way. A bad way.]

Cap'n, where in the gorram 'Verse are we? I'm gettin' a sense we ain't leavin' anytime soon...

[aintwejust]

[Mal gives a tight smile to whatever folk are attend'n the shop. Don't give him or Jayne any mind, they're just look'n around for a spell.]

If I knew I surely would tell you. Best I can figure is that we're stuck along with a lot of other strange folk that are equally lost and confounded.

[notagirlsname]

Queer folk is right, Cap'n.

[Still running through the racks, ignoring much else. He felt naked without his gun.]

Hope y'don't think I'm goin' crazy or nothin', but I swear I saw a talkin' pink...horse.

[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.
