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.

[Grins.] Whatever song you choose, I should think. No worries, I'm a quick learner.

[agelesseyes]

I must confess, I do not know any of these. Why don't you choose something. I'm adaptable.

[She'll go along with this, because it's unusual enough to even be asked.]

[fierybluebird]

[Arches an amused eyebrow and shrugs.]

If you'd like.

[Hm. Harp over tavern songs, means something more like marines than pirates? He won't dance samba with anyone other than Robin at this point anyway. So he goes to put on a marine-friendly waltz only to have this song start up instead. Sorry Moiraine, it's not that he was ignoring your tastes in music! The machine is just rigged so that any attempts for a marine song are presumed to be from Smoker, and in an effort to troll him for it, it plays a song that they play in Loguetown. Not that Marco knows any of this, but he blinks in surprise.]

Well, that wasn't what I was expecting, but shall we?

[agelesseyes]

[Moiraine arches an eyebrow, but holds out her hand for him to take. He seems genuinely surprised, and she won't fault a man for doing something wrong accidentally. At least, not something as harmless as that.]

Of course.

[fierybluebird]

[He gets back to grinning and leads her on a jaunty dance, with a small twirl here and there.]

[agelesseyes]

[She'll join right along, letting him lead and smiling all the while. A little fun never hurt anyone, not here or anywhere, if there was time for it..]

[fierybluebird]

Do you dance often, Miss?

[He'd whistle along if he knew the tune better but (luckily?) he does not.]

[agelesseyes]

It's been some time, but when I have the chance, I do.

[Not since...Baerlon. That felt like a lifetime ago, but that was the last time she could recall. Before that, Tear? No. Illian.]

What of you?

[fierybluebird]

Every so often. I've had more occasion to use the skill here than I ever expect to, to be perfectly honest.

[agelesseyes]

Oh? I suppose there must be, given how peaceful it all seems on the surface.

[fierybluebird]

On the surface, and in between the rest, eh? But then I tend to be much more used to a chaotic lifestyle in general, eh. How about you?

[agelesseyes]

I'm not blessed with a sedentary life, no.

[Understatement...]

[fierybluebird]

I'm not sure I could call such a thing a blessing.

It's much more fun to travel, even when it's obligatory.

[agelesseyes]

It can be, if you do it for the right reasons. I can't say it's been boring, even though I might wish it was more peaceful.

[fierybluebird]

Understood. My life's been like that as well.

Were you able to find the right reasons at least?

[The song switches into a slower one with some final blare of trumpets, and without any indication, Marco smoothly switches into a 3/8 waltz.]

[agelesseyes]

Of course. I have my mission, and my duties.

[And she'll follow through with him seamlessly. Cairhienens had to know how to dance, particularly those of royal blood]

[fierybluebird]

Both of which have their moments, I should hope?

[agelesseyes]

Moments, yes.

[Fleeting though they might be anymore, with the Shadow gripping the land. But the sight of the White Tower never fails to impress, at least.]

[fierybluebird]

Sometimes that's all anyone can ask for, eh?

[agelesseyes]

Yes, of course.
