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.

Oh no... I don't suppose you know a spell to get us home, do you...?

[She's not particularly hopeful about that - if Twilight knew, surely she'd have done it already - but it never hurts to ask.]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight shakes her head. ] It's not for lack of trying, but... there have been humans here for five years.

[shying]

F... five years...

[Wow, like she wasn't terrified enough already. She looks like she's about to faint now.]

Oh no, oh no... I can't be here for that long, some of the animals at home have very strict feeding schedules...

[fourthgenerationprincess]

It's okay, Fluttershy. I'm sure somepony will look after the critters while we're away. I'm doing everything I can to find a way out of here, but... nopony here's had any luck yet.

[shying]

[Hearing about the animals helps her relax a little, though marginally so. There are plenty of lovely animals here, to be sure, but it just isn't the same. (Even if her new bird friends are already coming back to settle around her. Singing! It was fun!)]

Is there anything I can do to help...?

[fourthgenerationprincess]

Well... to break out? I don't know, unless you can use magic! But there are plenty of critters in the area you can take care of! It looks like you've found a few already.

[shying]

...Oh! Yes, that's true.

[Fluttershy's gaze lifts to the bird who has only just perched on the top of her head; a smile finally creeps back onto her mouth.]

The animals here are very kind. They cheered me up when I was too frightened to come out of the bushes, actually.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

They'd probably do that no matter where you go.

[shying]

I'm sure you're right. All the little creatures I've ever known have been good at heart, so of course they'd be good on other worlds, too.

[Naturally it has nothing to do with her.]

[fourthgenerationprincess]

I mean because of you! Your talent is to communicate with animals, after all!

[shying]

Oh, um. [Well, that was kind of her to say, but-] It isn't just me at all. I guess since I know how to communicate with them, they're much happier communicating with me.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ She smiles. ] Either way, I'm sure you'll fit in just fine here while we wait to go back to Ponyville. Which hopefully won't be in five years.

[shying]

I certainly hope not... not that it isn't very nice here, but I already miss home terribly.

[fourthgenerationprincess]

You and me both, Fluttershy.
