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.

But...it is a real village. It's strange, but it's as real as any other.

[But then she gets totally lost on the last part.]

...What is "soap opera" and "television?"

Soap operas are made-up stories that people watch when they are bored and feeling unfulfilled in their real lives. They watch it on a powered box that shows moving images. That's the television.

...A powered box with moving images... No...I've never seen anything like that.

I'm guessing you aren't exactly from a technological kind of place, huh? You'd be amazed at the sorts of gadgets that would pop up over the years. People just want to keep making life easier for themselves.

I come from Elibe. I guess it is not..."technological."

So, people have gadgets to make life easier? What sort of gadgets?

[Now you've piqued her curiosity.]

I've never heard of an Elibe. Is that a country? A fruit? It sounds like a fruit. But I guess it wouldn't be. And, well, have you heard of the light bulb? Flashlights? Anything battery-powered?

Elibe is a country, divided into territories.

"Light bulb"..."flashlights"..."battery-powered". ...No, I've never heard of those things.

I have a few more for you! Microwaves, refrigerators, gas stoves, toasters. Hair dryers!

...

[A long silence as she tries to absorb all those names, which don't really tell much alone.]

What do these things do?

What do I look like, a how-to manual? Though most of these things do come with manuals. The library might have them.

...No. Perhaps I will ask someone else then. It was nice talking to you, though.

Was it? [Not something she's used to hearing.] Good luck.

Yes.

[She can tolerate even the most obnoxious of people. ~~See: Vaida. And her psycho brother.~~]

And you, too.
