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.

Personally, I ain't here on account of being thirsty. There's plenty of water at the house.

[He's been noting that behavior, more than before. His own X-23, she seemed to want to be anything but like him. It's going to take some getting used to having an older one that mirrors his motions. Even if not his drinking habits. Not for the first time, he wonders how many similarities there are in her story to her counterpart. He wonders what the differences are. Maybe his counterpart did things better than he did.

It wouldn't surprise him.

He waves the bartender over and orders his usual, then turns to X-23 expectantly.]

[pinocchiogirl]

Neither was I. I am aware where the water is located.

[She watches him, studying him studying her. The recognition of her designation gave her enough to know that she exists to him in some form. But she hasn't yet felt it was time to ask how, who she was, what she was like. It's a difficult subject, even for a clone, to know that you are not the only one version of yourself. She had destroyed the other copies of herself before they could be born, and yet, it's still strange.

In response, she just stares back. She wasn't thirsty, after all.]

[snikting]

[The bartender looks a little impatient having to way around, so Logan sighs and lets him go. He didn't really expect converting her to the world of sugary carbonated water would go that simple. But hell, he had to give it ago. See where she stood on things.

He waited until they were alone again.]

So, no beverage of choice. What about food?

[pinocchiogirl]

[Soda was strange to her. As fond as she was of spicy foods, foods bursting with flavour, soda was not there on her preferred lists. Too sweet, enough to leave a sickly taste in her mouth]

Something with spice.

[snikting]

[She had a preference. Good enough for him. He nods approvingly.]

The best you'll get here is the hot wings, unless you want to experiment with some spicy cocktails.

[Not Logan, though. He likes his beer simple and unimaginative.]

[pinocchiogirl]

[Flavour is good. Flavour is like life, reminds her that she is alive even as her tongue burns momentarily and her eyes water. It's full of all the things she never had as a child.]

The wings will do.

[Conversation however, is hard to get from her and she goes back to simply sitting, waiting]

[snikting]

[He signals the bartender and order said wings. Two orders.

And then, of course, there's conversation. Usually he's the one that has to be prodded into talk, which makes for a very silent conversation. On the upside, he doesn't feel awkward enough to need to say anything.]

[pinocchiogirl]

[She's not a creature of words. Too many years of being taught to hold her tongue, whether by instruction or pain when she did speak out. Her opinions, her voice wasn't what was wanted. Only her claws, her healing and even then it was only because they couldn't have the boy.

So she waits for him to move, watching him before looking around the bar, studying faces and filing away minute details just in case they become important]

[snikting]

[Meanwhile, Logan just wishes he was allowed to light up a cigar in here. Damn picky bartenders. He'd let them tame him too much. The thought of that made him tempted to dig one out anyway.

But then the hot wings came and the first thing Logan did was filch one from her basket.]

Not bad. Had better, though.

[pinocchia]

[She wouldn't be surprised if he did start smoking. And she'd be the first to move if someone tried to physically stop him. After all, like alcohol, cigarettes and cigars won't harm them. There is no cancer when your body is constantly able to delete those types of mutated cells.

The stolen hot wing is let go without a hint of irritation, Laura slowly taking one, sniffing and then biting into it]

... They could be spicier.

[snikting]

There's this old bar, just outside of Buffalo. Best wings I had. Didn't make up for the bad beer, though.

[All the same, he licks his fingers clean of the sauce so he can return to his drink.]

[pinocchia]

I have never been. [After all, what is there for a hired killer in Buffalo]

...Madripoor had interesting foods. [Does this Wolverine even know Madripoor? Oh well.] There was many different tastes, many strong tastes. I liked it.

[But still, she'll take another wing]

[snikting]

Never been. [Or at least, he has no memories of it. Though it does seem to strike up a vague sort of recollection.] Asia, right?
