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.

((Clive sits beside what looks to be a chessboard. His had rests on the gameboard, and for now, no pieces are in sight. Likely hiding under the hat? Never mind, should you decide to acknowledge him at all, you'll be met with a smile.))

How would you fancy a game on this lovely day?


((note: i've other games in mind than chess, no worries if you dont want to deal with that!!))

[fictionalniece]

[Okay, you've got her attention, blue boy.]

A game? What kind of game?

[abstruse]

It all really depends on what sort of game you like. A competition, or solo challenge? I know quite a few of each.

[fictionalniece]

Did you say competition? I'm there. [And then she gives the chessboard a second look.] Though, uh... I don't really do the chess thing.

[abstruse]

That's fine, I only brought it to use as a table. Take a seat, I'll need a moment.

((While Jade is up to that, Clive picks up his hat, which it seems he's used as a temporary bag for his trip here. Counting out checker pieces, he eventually sets them down, in no particular order.))

This one is simple enough. Here we have 15 pieces. You must take one to three pieces each turn, and whoever has to take the last coin loses.

[fictionalniece]

[Jade pops herself a seat and kicks her feet while she waits, not quite reaching the floor.]

Last coin loses... got it. That doesn't sound too tough. [She rubs her chin and bends this way and that, scrutinizing the pieces with perhaps more energy than strictly necessary. Then she snaps up three random pieces and holds them in hand.]

There.

[abstruse]

((Clive's amused anyway, looking at the pieces. So there's 12...))

I hope you don't mind, my game is a bit rusty. ((He'll take two.))

[fictionalniece]

[She plucks up a single piece, just to be different. Nine left.]

How rusty can you get? This isn't exactly rocket science. No offense.

[abstruse]

With all the games and puzzles I've played and learned, sometimes it's easy to forget the algorithm of an easier game. ((Also taking one! Eight.))

[fictionalniece]

[Surprise attack!! She takes three.]

You like games? Me too! And puzzles are okay too, I guess.

[ Chess, from what he remembered, was a lot like Shogi. Different in a lot of ways, sure, but still very similar. ]

I'd be up for a game.

[abstruse]

Have a seat, then!

((he picks his hat off the board, exposing not only chess pieces, but checker pieces, a few dice, and a deck of cards. Oh, and a bag of odds and ends, you never know.)) What sort? Or were you expecting just a game of chess.

[lastsmoke]

Chess is fine. It's the one I'm most familiar with. [ Now, he's never actually played it. But how hard could it be? ]
