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.

Leia Organa | Star Wars

[borntorebel]

[She'd heard so much about this hot spring that she couldn't resist trying to find out where it was and take a dip. After fighting for the reestablishment of the Republic on a backwater moon, she felt that she deserved at least a reasonable bath for once.

So, it's with her tremendous Skywalker curiosity that she makes her way to the rec center to use the transporter that she'd also heard about.

Feel free to stop this space princess.]

This is not MY beautiful princess! :o

[onejump]

[The teleporters made him a little nervous, but they weren't all that different from Genie's magic, so he could adjust. Unfortunately, the one thing Genie's magic didn't prepare him for was other people using the same teleporter the opposite way.

Sorry, Leia. A half-dressed young man just ran into you as you materialized.]

"Woah! Sorry!"

But she *is* a beautiful princess, no?

[borntorebel]

[She was startled by a nearly-naked person practically knocking her down.]

Excuse me. I had no idea that someone else was using this.

[yourfononsarewhack]

[Jade himself has heard a lot about these fabled hot springs and has wanted to test them out - to see how they measure up to Keterburg's. With the weather getting cooler and things being quiet lately, today seems as a good a day as any. He's still wearing his military uniform, but he has a small bag with his hot spring wardrobe.

When he sees the young lady also making her way towards the teleporter, he moves to the side to let her go first. He smirks as he adjusts his glasses.]

By all means, go ahead.

[borntorebel]

[She eyes the bright blue uniform before taking in his strangely colored eyes behind the glasses.

While she has no love for a man wearing what are the obvious signs of an officer in someone's army, she's unfamiliar with the style. It's not of the Empire, at least. And he is being polite.]

Oh, please, don't let me get in your way.

[Better to have the unknown in front of you, after all. It was easier to get a shot in that way.]

[yourfononsarewhack]

My, my. Such kindness. [He adjusts his glasses.] And here I thought that youth had forgotten respect for their elders.

[He doesn't mind going in front; it makes anyone who thinks they can attack from behind think they have an advantage. While he slides his hands into his pockets, fully alert as he steps over to use the teleporter.]

I suppose I'll see you on the other side.

[borntorebel]

[There's something about the way he speaks that makes Leia watch him closely. Not that she can rightly place it immediately.

She watches as he steps into the teleporter and then disappears. Still trying to puzzle it out. It isn't until she's on the other side that she makes the connection.]

You remind me of a droid I know.

[darknessillusion]

[There won't be any stopping of the space princess -- but when she does make it to the hot springs, there will be one particularly noteworthy sight: the head-winged, green-haired succubus, soaking peacefully... and, well, quite naked at that. Clothing was optional at all the other springs she'd ever gone to...]

[Just... don't mind her half-floating there, Leia. She doesn't bite. At least, not unless given permission.]

[borntorebel]

[Well...that was different. This wasn't covered by Sabé or any of the teachers at those annoyingly proper schools she'd been sent to as a girl. And while she was used to aliens of all kinds, she just found herself blushing and looking away as she held the towel wrapped around her body tighter.

After the other...woman didn't move, Leia just gave up and gingerly sat down into the hot water. She let out a relieved sigh as her muscles almost immediately relaxed.]

That is almost better than sex...

[Oh, god, she'd said that outloud. Hopefully, the green-haired woman hadn't heard her!]

[darknessillusion]

... Emphasis on almost, I would hope.

[The succubus opens one eye and flashes Leia a sly smile, then shifts herself a bit in the water.]

After all, a nice night with a lover is hard to beat.

[borntorebel]

[Oh, well, she sort of reminded her of the girls she went to school with when she spoke and move. Although, she certainly didn't seem the type to do drugs.

But then again, neither had they.

Hm, she would just have to give her the benefit of the doubt, wouldn't she? Everyone else she'd met since she arrived had been oddly nice so far.]

Of course. It's almost as nice. But, only if the lover is in fact talented, and not just puffing up his ego with talk.

[darknessillusion]

Mm... those are always the worst types.

[The faintest flicker of irritation passes over her features, though it quickly fades. The spring feels too nice to stay annoyed for very long.]

Thankfully for me, they were always few and far between.

AHAHAHAHAHAH

[worldchaindestruction]

[While he had no true interest in visiting the hot springs himself (as he didn't want to pass out from spending too long in the heat), the teleporters themselves were enough of a draw for Keele that he was willing to spend time away from the library and in the Rec Center just to study it.

He was a researcher from the Light Craymelology department of Academia Mintche. The symbol that he found within the system was unfamiliar to a man with his knowledge, but he confident enough in his skills to find out what he wanted-- even if it took time. After all, this couldn't be nearly as hard as learning a dead language from books alone. And, they had nothing but time.

The young woman's approach barely earned any notice from him, until she headed for the teleporter. It was only then that he spoke up without even bothering to look up from the notes that he was absorbed in.]

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Oh no, struck a nerve...

[borntorebel]

[The strange man's voice catches the princess off-guard, something very few people had been able to manage in her short, but active, life. And then she noticed that he hadn't even bothered to look at her before he spoke to her so rudely.]

And why not?

hey, he could be knocked down a few rungs...

[worldchaindestruction]

[Keele did look up this time with an irritated gleam in his eyes. Were people really this blind? He sighed in resignation-- here was yet another person he needed to explain things to.]

We have no idea about how well this system works or if we even can guarantee your safety. I'm currently looking into the theoretical probabilities of how it's constructed, because the symbols used here obviously are what runs it. The tricky part is figuring out how this one mark is able to connect with the other one that has to be on the other side of this 'door'. By the current standards of physics and Craymelology, something like this fundamentally shouldn't work.

I need more time to look into it. Do you really want to take the risk of never leaving the secondary space between the two points or, worse, dying upon arrival?

Then she's the right woman to do so.

[borntorebel]

[She rose one eyebrow at him in challenge and drew herself up with the training that her father, aunts, and adopted mother had crammed down her throat for years, making her appear every inch the princess that she was.]

Considering that my brother has been in this particular "village" for years now and he has used this teleporter many times and conferred with the original builder how it operates, I am perfectly fine with the fact that once I enter this little room that I will end up on the other side and at the hot springs.

GOOD!

[worldchaindestruction]

[Perhaps that was true, but there had to be something in the system. I bothered him on a deep, almost viceral level. although that could just be the fact that he's liable to pass out on the other side for one reason or the other.]

That doesn't change the fundamental fact of what it is. The 'circuitry' looks relatively fragile, and it might be safer to develope a back up by another method as a fail safe in case one of these 'shifts' that everyone talks about decides to render the current set up inoperable.

I'm not sure that I trust something so delicate looking with my life and safety. I'm surprised that you can.

[magicpanchira]

[ Trucy's new around these parts, honestly, but she's heard nothing but good things about the hot spring. As fate would have it, she, too, is headed to the rec center to see about this transporter... thing.

In her eyes, it's just too good to be true, really.

She's just about there -- can see it from where she is, but something; rather, someONE catches her eye. A certain princess. ]

Um, excuse me! Miss?

[borntorebel]

[She turns at the young woman's voice and smiles at her attire. It certainly wasn't as lavish as what she'd worn while being held hostage by Jabba, but it was...interesting.]

Yes, can I help you?

[magicpanchira]

[ She flashes the other woman a small, almost sheepish grin and rubs the back of her neck with a gloved hand. ]

I'm kind of new around here... er, is this the right way to the recreation center? I still haven't really gotten my bearings yet...

[borntorebel]

[She's really very cute and Leia, while she's never been girly, she can appreciate the girl's appeal.]

Ah, I believe so. I'm new as well, but my brother has given me a map of this village, if you'd like to see it.

because why not help us both

[ignitethestars]

[He hadn't actually meant to look like a concerned father stalker, but Leia's presence felt so much like her's that he couldn't help but follow her.

Of course it was after he caught up with her that he realized his mistake.]

... Oh. I ... er. Hi?

Sure thing, Dad!

[borntorebel]

[She turned around at the sound of that voice, blood cold as she tried to rein in her temper. She'd listened to Luke when he talked, about how they were from different points in time and how this village sometimes did that. It had made a kind of sense at the time, but seeing whatever powered this village in action was enough to make her want to find these cultists and Malnosso and have a "chat" with her blaster.

Because before her was a young Anakin Skywalker, looking just as she remembered from the only Force Ghost visitation that Leia had ever experienced in her life.]

Anakin. [Sure as hell not calling him Father. She wasn't as magnanimous as Luke.]

[ignitethestars]

[Looking back at her, he could almost swear it was a certain Senator who stood before him. The same stance, features, hair even ...

But her gaze itself -- it seemed cold. Angry? Dark? Something.]

My apologies. I didn't mean to sneak up on you ... though I imagine you might be far too independent to startle easily.

[A slight pause and then --]

You look just like her.

[borntorebel]

[She didn't want to like him. He'd been the reason for her mother's death, for the deaths of so many innocent people. He'd attempted to kill her more than once.

But...That had been Vader.

It was hard for her to differentiate them in her mind.]

She's my mother.
