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.

No. Well, occasionally. [She frowns.] It works as a radio but since no one else from Rapture is here no one is listening. So it's mostly a speaker.

[She drops the screwdriver onto her skirt and flips the helmet over, setting it ontop of her head and peering out at him through the viewport.]

See?

[She can be heard, but the voice is very staticky.]

[mirrorblade]

Whoa! [He sounds impressed, even though her equipment obviously isn't working properly.] That's amazing!

[Claude has no idea what it's for but it is awesome and that's what counts.]

[notyourutopian]

[She pulls the helmet off again and frowns at it.] I suppose it would be...awesome...if it were actually working.

[She sighs.]

[mirrorblade]

Oh... Yeah. Right. [He laughs nervously, feeling slightly embarrassed. He kind of got carried away just now, whoops.] I'm not sure if I can fix it, but I can take a look at it, if you want.

[notyourutopian]

Usually I can fix things like this. Well, I haven't really had much cause since I was fairly small, but...

[But she was pretty sure she still knew how. Still, she flips it over to let him have a look inside.]

[mirrorblade]

I wonder what could be wrong... I mean, if it's a speaker, there's no reason why it shouldn't work here.

[At least, he thinks so. He takes the radio from her and looks it over. Hmm... As expected, it's a little older than the technology he's used to.]

[notyourutopian]

[Circa the 1960s, actually. She frowns.]

I don't actually think it was damaged here.

[She taps a dent on the outside of the helmet where the radio sits inside.]

A splicer got off a lucky shot and dented the helmet. I believe that's what broke it.

[mirrorblade]

Huh... It didn't hit you with anything weird, did it?

[A "shot" could be anything, after all. He's not sure that's it, either, though.]

[notyourutopian]

No, it was just a bullet. I had a bruise, that's all.

[And she heals fast enough that it just doesn't matter.]

The point is, he broke my helmet.

[She is a little bit sulky about that.]
