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.

[It was quiet, but the people were nice.

Makoto Kubota hadn't been in the village for long; just a few days, but it was enough time for him to skim through the silly little book that bore his name and collect his belongings. They had his Seven Stars, and the slushies were all right enough in his opinion. It was a damn shame that the proprietor didn't change up the flavors with the season. How else were people to know what holiday was coming up?

He had been slowly making the rounds as he learned what he could about the town, introducing himself with a smile and casually asking after a stray cat. Surely someone had seen the wild but oddly innocent creature, right?

Seventh Heaven was his final stop before he vanished for the night into some hole of an apartment in the community building, with only the standard issue sofa, a few scattered lights, and an armload of shonen comics to keep him company. He didn't mind the quiet, really. Polite ~~or impolite~~ as it was, he kept the slushie with him as he entered the restaurant like he was a regular customer instead of a stranger in this town. Idly peering at the crowd from over his glasses, it was easy for him to find Tokito.

He would always find his stray cat.]

Hm. So this is where you went off to.

[Kubota approached from behind, the words so casual it was as if nothing had changed. No time had passed. They were still in Yokohama.

The slushie was still good in the chilled, autumn evening.]

[The way he casually appears after weeks of not being around, as if they hadn't been kidnapped by a strange organization and where being held against their will, would have really pissed Tokito off if he wasn't so damn relieved to see him. He'd started losing hope that Kubota would come, something that only makes him feel silly now. That man would always find him. Come for him.

But that relief is quickly replaced with Tokito's standard frown and grumbling.] Where have you been all this time? You're late, Kubo-chan.

[Of course he would handle it with the careless ease that he always does. There was nothing special about getting kidnapped, even if the barcode and the wings were definite discomforts. He would act when he had to, but until then...]

I'm late? I saw you just yesterday.

[Deadpan.

Slurp.]

Yesterday? I've been here for weeks!

[So he may have heard some things about differing time lines and such when he first arrived, but it was all just too confusing for him to understand. But if there's an impostor of him running around back home...]

Weeks, huh? It hasn't even been a full day for me...

[sluuuuuuuurp.

Wasn't there something in the books that he read about this stuff? It all sounded unbelievable, like something out of a shonen manga or an old cartoon. Kubota thought he understood at least the basics of it, but he would need to read the book a little bit more to be sure of the facts.]

[Okay now he's starting to get pissed off.]

How can you be so calm about all of this? This isn't a normal kidnapping! And now we have to worry about fake versions of us walking around back home. [And that slushie is looking really good. He wants some. So Tokito will just reach over and grab it out of his hand. sluuuurp.]

[Tokito gets no argument about the slushie. He can have it. Kubota wanted one of his cigarettes anyway.]

But, maybe the game is just on pause. There's probably nothing to worry about.

[He pulled out one of his smokes and nearly lit up before he paused and glanced around the building. There were no other smokers.]

Don't tell me that this is a non-smoking place.

[Not that he'd care.]

The game? Did you leave the Playstation turned on again? You could ruin it by being so careless Kubo-chan! [Whether or not that what Kubota meant, that's how Tokito chose to take it. Really, what would he do without Tokito around to lecture him?]

I haven't seen any signs that say so around.

Oh, good.

[click. puff.

Kubota looked up at the ceiling, as if he were trying to see the sun during a lunar eclipse.]

...huh. Maybe I did leave it on.

[He huffs. Just like he thought.]

If it's broken when we get back, you'll have to buy a new one!

Hai, hai.

[The kitten was blustering. This wasn't new.]

[He happens to like their Playstation. A lot.]

I mean it! You'll probably have to pull double shifts from that quack doctor!
