Test Flight!

[lucetimods]

the luceti test flight 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 flight 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.

That would be absolutely lovely, thank you, dear. [ It also gives him a reason to lurk without lurking, to boot. Besides, if there are two people carrying things, twice as much can be carried! So Trisha hands over the basket easily enough, and with a plan in mind, heads towards the first section of things she'll need.

Come along, now. ]

I thought you did. Is there anything else you like that's new? Or old things you don't like?

Winry, too. I expect her tastes have changed?

[calmbeforethe]

Well, that's silly. Of course it matters. If you like spending time with Pietro, then that tells me you are far more patient with him than most are. [ Ororo spares her with a little smile. And the fact that she didn't like the Professor told her that Wanda valued her privacy quite a bit, but she wasn't going to mention that. ]

And perhaps you can take up dancing again, or maybe learn how to play an instrument while you are here? They're good ways to pass the time, and a way for you to express yourself.

[philosophized]

[That's very curious - he wants to ask exactly how it's screwy, but there's one other detail to address first.]

Now why on earth would you be doing that to begin with? [Didn't you learn your lesson about the Gate?]

[crimsonblade]

[She tilts her head to the side to look at him.] So, basically, Fayt has spent most of his time training here? I didn't think he was that dedicated to fighting.

[Although, his comment about the Menodix has her laughing.]

Are you still grumpy that he called you an old man?

[crimsonblade]

It is a power that was given to the followers of the sun god Apris. Since Aquaria is the only country that still practices that religion, we're the only people that still carry the tattoos.

[She shrugged. It was the truth, although, Albel had learned to use Runology somewhere along the way and that scared her a little.]

There's only one exception to that, but he's...unstable.

[godbent]

Mmm... yeah, that's true! I like to produce as much variety as I can, personally. [So while she began only really knowing Japanese food and American fare, she'd added a lot of obtuse things to her list over time]

[mamaterasu]

[Aw yea.

When she's finally done, Ammy shakes her head and licks her chops, having completely forgotten about the presence of the youngster watching her. The wind must not have been in her favor there either, because she couldn't even smell him! So, of course, Ammy jumps when she nearly turns and dashes right into the poor boy. Whoops--

Yelp!]

[astralpouch]

[Whoa! What's that on the cover of that... not-scroll thing? What is that? It's so weird! Amaterasu whines from the ground, tantalized by the, ahem, cover illustration...]

NEEDS ALL THE RUBBINS

[medicalpunch]

[That's... a lot more honest than she was really expecting out of him. But it isn't a bad thing, to have Kakashi actually admitting his feelings for once, instead of burying them all behind either the mask of careless goofiness or the opposite mask of the hard, businesslike ninja.

If anything, it's an honor.]

No, it isn't.

But... [She pauses, sighs, thinking about Neji, about Team Gai and Hinata who get to have more time with him.]

It's better than it could be, at least. For some of us...

[thepinkest]

[Doing things normally is for boring people.]

Thank you!

[And she flips back up, eager to see the results.]

This thing's really the best! I've tried making portraits of myself, though, and that just doesn't really seem to work all that well.

[gothic_gunning]

[Gunfire? Gunsmoke? Color Karol intrigued. She hadn't been able to procure any of her own bombs and other boom making devices, so she had made do with watching carnage at the battle dome. Granted guns aren't exactly her style, but what kind of teenage mercenary would she be if she couldn't use one? At this point, the sounds of the guns sound like the trumpets of blooded angels. ---music to her ears. She decides to strike up a conversation in hopes she too will have a weapon before the end of the evening.]

So, they do allow guns here do they?

[This is both her speaking out loud and trying to start a conversation.].

[automailed]

[Coming, coming... even though he doesn't know what he's gotten himself into.]

Oh, uh. I guess? I mean, she does the cooking over at our place, so she pretty much makes whatever she wants...

[Still kind of weird, openly admitting to shacking up with his girlfriend. Without marrying her, even. Though it's not like his parents got married either, so it's not that big of a deal...]

[automailed]

[He figured Hohenheim would want to know. Unfortunately there isn't much to tell.]

Greed was here at the time, so we had access to a stone. I was hoping it'd be enough get us back home.

[Obviously not.]

[tickle_me]

[Don't mind Revy giving you a slightly incredulous look, Karol. Not because of your question, but because you remind her of a certain creepy Goth Girl back in Roanapur. If not for the white hair, Revy would've seriously had to do (more of) a double-take.]

Yeah. Shitty-ass selection, though. Nerf guns would be more useful.

[gothic_gunning]

[ She doesn't mind getting the stink-eye. In fact she sort of revels in it, if not for her age then for her occupation. She is a bit let down to hear that the selection is less than appealing though.]

Then I assume the guns you have there are either Nerf's attempt to step into a daring new direction or custom built death bringers.

[If it's the latter she's miffed that she's without weapons.]

[tickle_me]

Got it in two, dollface. [She spins one of her cutlasses around in her hand before snapping it back into firing position.] You're not gonna find these things anywhere except right in these hands. [Smirk.] If you're lucky you might be able to see them up close, barrel-side.

[gothic_gunning]

I haven't met many who would even insinuate gunning down a child.

[Though she is by no means ordinary.]

I think you will be quite amusing, Miss...?

[tickle_me]

["Amusing"? Excuse you, brat.]

The name's Revy.

[But she's eyeing Karol slightly differently now. Despite the girl's frilly appearance, something seems...less than delicate about her.]

I haven't met many kids who don't shit their pants at the thought of even having a gun pointed in their general direction.

[gothic_gunning]

[Curtsies]

The name is Karoline Mason. A pleasure.

[Oh how it's always fun to see that look of slow realization. She's equal parts sugar, spice, and everything nasty.]

Guns are part of the job you see. I couldn't very well function if I were afraid to have one pointed at me. [She taps her chin.]

Why, I consider a day without bullets flying past me a failure. Oh did I forget to mention? I'm a mercenary for hire. Sadly my bombs weren't the only things taken from me upon my awakening here...or I'd offer you a business card Miss. Revy.

[tickle_me]

[If Karol was hoping to horrify Revy with that revelation, she'll be disappointed. Revy instead seems fully entertained. Is that a slasher smile on her face?]

I knew it. You look like Little Miss Muffet but you smell like hell's breath. Blood, smoke, death. Hell, you're not even the first bitch I met like that. That one looked a lot better lying on the ground after I punched her, though. Don't make me have to decide the same about you.

[gothic_gunning]

[So playtime is over? It was fun while it lasted. Though she's actually intrigued that this Revy person would be so quick on the uptake, and a little irritated for reasons unknown.]

Please. I have no intention of picking a fight that I am not completely convinced I can win. Despite the accent I am not Crocodile Dundee. Though I am disappointed you saw through me so quickly. It betrays your outer appearance. Though I suppose it takes one to know one hmm?

[Then she realizes it. The source of her irritation. This Revy reminds her so much of her little sister Meifa, the violent bitch. That alone makes it hard to continue being cordial.]

Sadly, you remind me of someone.

[tickle_me]

[Playtime's not over, darling. As far as Revy's concerned, it's just getting started. Even if she's less irritated and more just suspicious.]

You don't say.

[Look at how not interested she sounds.]

[maximoff_girl]

[A small smile appears on her face, at her comment about Pietro. Yes, Ororo is truly observant.]

I've... I've always wanted to play an instrument. I always... used to accidentally hex when I tried though. My fingers moved too much. [She looks at the other woman, earnestly] Are there instruments to practice on, here?

[gothic_gunning]

[Where's the C4 when you need it? The world is overpopulated in the first place, so one less person isn't a big deal right? This woman is Meifa so hard that it hurts.]

No matter. I hate thinking of her without having a bomb in my hand to calm my nerves. I'm pretty sure the two of you would get along just fine if you didn't kill each other first.

[Maybe introducing them wouldn't be so bad after all. Two for two would be excellent.]

[tickle_me]

Well, gee, that's real sweet of you to think of matchmaking for me, but I ain't interested. And even if I were, it doesn't do jackshit for me in this fuckin' craphole.

[Carelessly, effortlessly, Revy fires off three shots at a tree a little to Karol's left, knocking down the cans she'd placed there.]
