Test Flight!
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.
Aladdin | Disney's Aladdin
[Well, Aladdin thought he could handle pretty much anything you could throw at him. He'd adjusted- sort of- to being away from Agrabah and his friends. He could handle the weird Shifts. He could take all the strange and magical people he'd encountered since living here- he was, after all, friends with a genie.
But there was, it turns out, one challenge that Aladdin wasn't quite prepared for, after a life in the desert.]
"How does anybody live like this?"
[It's not often Aladdin updates his wardrobe, but now he speaks from deep within the voluminous confines of a big, plush, fluffy jacket, the hood pulled tight against his face.]
"It's been getting colder for weeks. When does it go back to normal around here?"
[And the sad part is, it's only October.]
no subject
If you want things to get warmer, hun, you could start with your attitude.
[And just like that, the hood's back to normal. Only now there are several Genies surrounding Aladdin and taking his measurements.]
More importantly, let's working on your fashion. That big old hoodie's a no-no. Isn't that right?
[Another Genie transforms to resemble Tyra Banks.] I'm afraid that as it is, you're not ready to be Luceti's next top model. [That genie then poofs away.]
See, kid? Now, Al, my man! Let's have a tour of our extensive winter catalogue!
no subject
[Aladdin made several undignified attempts to shake off the team of Genies trying to measure him. It didn't matter how many times it happened, somehow a swarm of Genies trying to groom and primp him always seemed to catch him off guard.]
"I don't need clothing, Genie. The shop has all the clothing I need for free. I just don't understand how it can be so cold all the time."
no subject
Oh. You want to know... about cold.
[He shifts to resemble a generic sitcom father, with a pipe in his mouth. And next to him is now a Genie made up to be his wife. He turns to face her in concern.]
What do you say, Martha. He's grown up so fast... Do you think he's old enough? [The wife-Genie nods. And then they both poof over behind Aladdin.]
Well, son, where do I start? When a sun and a planet love each other very much... that planet decides to spend its years revolving around the sun! But only half of that planet can get that sunny loving at a time. The other half? It gets the cold shoulder. An arctic one, even! Until it gets it's time in the sun. It's a very romantic cycle...
Unless of course, you live in a desert. Then, all of that is irrelevant and instead everything is [He trots around as if walking on coals.] HOT HOT OH IT BURNS!
[And then back to normal.]
But the deserts and here... [He pokes his pointer fingers together.] just not the same thing! So now, we're stuck with the cold. And that, buddy, is the story of winter!
no subject
[Wait.]
"... Half the year? You mean it's gonna be colder in two months?"
[... He was going to die.]
no subject
But look at the bright side, Al! [He goes into a particularly bombastic Robin Williams voice for the next question while donning a pair of shades.] I say what's cooler... than being cool?!
Ice cold! [This is accompanied by a rain of ice cubes. And the next second, he's an accountant typing into a typewriter.]
Think of all the activities you never thought you'd do! Snow angels! Snowball fights! Snowmen! Skiing! Sledding! Ice skating! Tree trimming! Licking frozen poles! We've got a whole wonderful world of winter, Laddy, and it's all at your fingertips!

That's what the weather is like here. It begins to get really cold around early or mid October and then the cold simply increases from there. There will be snow by December for sure. [It's all stated in a very matter of fact and simple way. As if she can't imagine the weather doing anything else but get so cold during the winter.]
Did the weather back home work differently for you?
no subject
[He shrugs off the hood and glances around.]
"Agrabah- the place I come from- it's in the middle of a desert. It doesn't get cold, and it definitely doesn't have snow."
no subject
Although...perhaps you would be better off with a lighter coat? Bigger does not always mean warmer.
no subject
[He chuckles sheepishly.]
"Never needed one before, much less been able to choose which one I wanted."
[Really, he's still getting used to the idea of having something to wear that isn't stolen rags.]

Be glad that we at least have sunlight.

Hate to break it to you, dude, but this is normal for most places.

[He pulls the voluminous jacket tighter around himself, scowling.]

[Yep, Kanji might be making an irritated face at you.]
Or that one year when it was too cold to snow... That year sucked big time.

[That's possible?
Ugh, he hates this place so much right now.]

She's huddled up with her knees pulled against her chest, teeth chattering as she pulls her cloak more tightly against her body.]
Aladdin? When you're done talking to the book, could you help me with the fireplace? ["Help" in that she understands what it is and how it works, but actually making fire come out of it? There's always been a half-dozen people to take care of that sort of thing for her.]
no subject
[Of course, he can pretend that street-savviness is the key all he wants, but let's face it- he's never bothered with building fires much anyway. When the nights got colder, he just went inside and waited it out.
And it never got this cold at night in Agrabah.
Still, he goes to the fire and begins poking around with the wood and kindling, then reaches into a pocket and produces a small disposable lighter.]
"This is just a little something I found in the shop. It makes fire at the push of a button."
[And, looking very smug, he holds a piece of kindling above the lighter, pulls the lever... and nothing happens.]
"... There's a trick to it. Hang on."
no subject
The corners of her mouth quirk up when nothing happens. Buying snake oil again, Beloved?]
A trick to it. Right.
no subject
Rather than respond, he continues fiddling with the mechanism at the top of the lighter. Click. Nothing. Click. Nothing. Click. Nothing. Click. Spark.
Well. On the plus side, he managed to get the fire to work. Unfortunately, he also managed to burn his thumb. He winces and pulls it away from the fire, quickly igniting the bit of kindling before the flame goes out, then hastily shoves it into the fireplace, igniting the rest of the kindling around it. Forcing the scowl into a cocky smile and tucking his hand into his pocket.]
"See? Piece of cake."
[His thumb brushes against the inner lining of his pocket and he winces at the sudden pain, the smile becoming strained.]
no subject
[Sophie is clearly amused by this sight. From the way the man was all bundled up, you'd think there was practically a blizzard coming in.]
Afraid it's only going to get even cooler from here. I imagine it must be quite the change for you.
HOLD STILL AND LET ME LOVE YOU.
"I guess it's just because I've lived in a desert my whole life, but I don't know how you stand it."
