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.

[She gasps and clasps both hands over her mouth.]

You can't say that!!

[scootch]

[Ellie lifts a brow; wow, a kid that doesn't swear? Haven't seen one of those for a long, long time. There's a whole whack of her vocabulary that she can't use.]

Sorry, uh. It sucks? Is that okay?

[smallsurvivor]

I think so. [She's really going to have to start carrying a swear jar around with her. >|]

But you shouldn't say bad words like that. My mom and dad always said so. [And that makes it Supertruth forever and ever.]

[scootch]

[Pft. Of course, parents.]

Yeah, well, mine weren't around to teach me that, I guess.

[And being surrounded by great influences like the Fireflies, Joel, and the quarantine militia didn't exactly do wonders for her manners.]

[smallsurvivor]

Oh.

Yours are dead too?

[scootch]

["Too". Gosh, now she's stepped in it.]

...Ah... yeah. They have been for a long time, though.

[smallsurvivor]

How long? [Time frames are crazy important, Ellie.]

[scootch]

[God, look at Little Miss Specifics over here.]

My whole life, okay? I never met them.

[Well now things are just uncomfortable. Clementine flinches and shrinks back. Ellie's face just got kind of scary, and it's her natural instinct to turtle up and hope it blows over.]

[scootch]

[It's short-lived, at least. Ellie's just not fond of giving when she's getting nothing in return, and that especially applies to backstories.]

...Sorry. Can we not talk about parents? It's just depressing when you've got nothing to say about them.
