the road's got me hypnotized

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.

once more with feeling

[calmbeforethe]

[Ororo caught the tail end of Jade's last cry of Turbulence!, turning in time to see his arte forefully blast the journal into a sturdy oak. Her brows rise in concern, surprise and interest. Especially when he simply starts to walk away. Well, since he was going in her direction, it would be okay to ask, right?]

Taking your frustrations out on the journal, I see?

all the marbles

[yourfononsarewhack]

[Jade quickly regains any lost cool as someone approaches. He adjusts his glasses and turns to face her with a smirk.]

My, no. I'll have you know that I have the patience of a saint. This is purely for experimental purposes.

all the gore-- wait that doesn't sound right

[calmbeforethe]

[Ororo quirks an eyebrow. She isn't fooled, but she does play along!]

Experimental purposes? Do tell.

[yourfononsarewhack]

It's quite simple, really. I'm testing the capabilities of these journals. I'm interested in witnessing how the replacement process goes about, and if there are any consequences for destroying them. All of this will just teach me more about these Malnossos' capabilities.

[calmbeforethe]

Oh, well if that's the case... they are capable of quite a bit. One need only look at how these buildings are designed to repair themselves, and how anyone acts during the village-wide experiments to see an example of such.

[yourfononsarewhack]

I would have to see those actions myself in order to analyze them properly. [Curtiss shrug.] In the meantime? This is the most effective method of testing without creating unnecessary fuss. [What do you mean he can't go around blowing people's walls open to watch them repair?] Not to mention that the measures they put into the small things could signify much more than that which they put into the larger projects.

[calmbeforethe]

[Ororo nods.] That's fair. But also quite telling; how long have you been here then, if you'll pardon my asking? I hope you've not run into too much trouble with regards to finding a place to stay? [She doesn't want to use the term "settled," not everyone appreciates the term, after all. Especially when they were so new to Luceti.]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[He speaks thoughtlessly as he looks down at the remains of the book with some care.]

It's yet to be a full day for me. Yet, I have already located adequate lodging which should be easy enough to occupy if I am still here when night falls.

[calmbeforethe]

[She can't help the touch of sympathy that enters her voice.]

I see. I am glad to hear it, then. Many newcomers to Lucet arrive disoriented. You seem to be handling matters calmly enough. [Though, she supposes, that didn't mean anything. After all, he did just attack his own journal.

Speaking of which, she looks down to examine what's left of it along with him, curious.]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[He gives a cheery smile.]

The other newcomers I've encountered so far have been doing such a good job of being confused and frightened by themselves, so I thought it would be unfair to try to upstage them.

[His eyes briefly flitter, following the line of her eyesight to the book.]

Excellent. Another set of eyes would be invaluable. That way, any reaction I witness could be less likely to be attributed to a delusion induced by the shock of suddenly being in an entirely new world. Not that I think there's a high probability of someone like me undergoing such a reaction - but it never hurts to be cautious!
