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.

yay

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, for my bending! That's what I train in. What do diagrams train you in?

[Good, because that smile's staying as he relaxes on the bench.]

Okay! Prim it is. But both names sound good.

Re: yay

[prims]

Bending?

[ She looks a little baffled, but willing to listen. Is he some sort of performer? They...bend, right? Acrobatic things. She thinks. ]

Well...medicine. Hopefully. I mean, that's what I was doing before I got here. I was learning what my mother knew, and what the other doctors knew. [ A beat, and then she confides, a little hesitantly. ] I wish the school here taught that.

[ Prim relaxes a little at the compliment, too, though - although her expression goes a little wistful. ]

Thank you. My father chose it. Primrose, I mean - my sister and I were both named by him, for things that grew near home.

[ The Evening Primrose and Katniss. She hadn't seen either growing here, yet. ]

[savedtheworld]

Yeah, bending! It's about controlling the different elements, and it's loads of fun.

Oh! Medicine, huh? Doctors are really super neat! Katara's not a doctor, but she's a healer and I think she knows some doctory things. Maybe she could help you learn some thing sometime! Or maybe the school'll teach if if you ask Professor Sage really super nicely enough.

Wow... I thought it sounded like a flower. Very pretty, Prim!

[prims]

[ She still wasn't entirely sure what he meant, but it sounded like magic. They had that here. Prim had never heard many stories about magic - though she knew plenty of stories about coal - so she didn't have much to go on there. It was all strange, and scary, but...maybe a little bit wonderful, too. At least when it wasn't being used by evil witches, which she gathered was also a thing. ] I don't think that's something I know how to do, at least.

Really? [ It's hard not to sound over eager at the thought - she can try asking, right? Nothing ventured nothing gained...and it doesn't seem like she's going back (but back to what, even if she did?) so maybe... ] So by healer you mean she wasn't trained? My mother's like that, too. I mean, she ran an apothecary.

[ And Aang gets another little grin. ] Thanks! I like your name, too. I've never heard anything like it before, though.

[savedtheworld]

[Aang laughs.]

I guess not. Most people from other worlds just now magic instead. But I can show you some!

Well... she's been getting training herself! But her healing's a kind that uses waterbending.

[He smirks at the appreciation of his name.] Thanks! It's not a flower, but I'm glad you like it anyway!

[prims]

You can? [ And it's moments like these when Prim really does seem her age. She sounds thirteen, eager and a little disbelieving. He'll show her magic? Really?

A world with magic can't be all bad, can it? ]

So if she's been getting training... [ Then she can definitely get training, too. She'll have to bring it up with Katniss. Maybe Katniss knows someone here who'll teach her. ]

Does it mean something?

[savedtheworld]

Of course I can! If you wanna see! [It makes Aang happy - very happy and relieved - whenever kids sound their age.]

You can get some too, maybe. I'm not sure how it works. You can ask her sometime.

[And he gives her a warm smile.]

Well, it means "peaceful soaring".

[prims]

I'd love to! Oh, is there enough room here, for...? [ She's actually not sure what sort of magic he's going to do, still, but the bench is situated in a fairly open area, and that should be okay, right? ]

I'll try that! I'll just talk to Katniss about it, first.

[ Peaceful soaring, huh? It sounds...well, peaceful. It's a happy name, for a boy who seems happy. Prim likes that. ]

Then I like it even better.
