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.

[The smile starts to droop somewhat - and some of the confidence he's projecting into his stance fades.]

It's just... something I'm used to, you know? I know, most of the people here seem nice, and like they could be accepting... [But he knows that amongst most people, those two traits don't necessarily come together.] But I don't want to risk my luck. My mutation... it's not a pleasant one, after all.

[Green eyes turn back to him at that, and for a moment she is silent, considering it over.]

I understand.

[A pause, and her expression shifts, as if she's trying to sort out precisely how to put something into words.]

But it is a lie. Your mutation is who you are. You are just fooling yourself.

[Well. She didn't soften that particular comment at all.]

[wildbluevagner]

[He bows his head for a moment - hearing it put like that stung. But he still tries to defend himself.]

It's just a part of who I am. [He tries to plead, placing his three-fingered hands at his chest.] I am who I am. I'm not trying to fool myself. I'm just... keeping a part of myself hidden, that's all. It makes things... easier.

[Laura doesn't particularly approve, but she can hardly scold him for it, and it is his decision to make. So she shifts and shrugs.]

If you say so.

[A beat, as she turns her attention away.]

Do you work here?

[wildbluevagner]

E-every now and then. [He tries to transition to the subject, but it isn't so smooth.] Rogue does most of the work here. But it's a way to spend time!

[girlverine]

The younger Rogue. From your world.

[Because apparently being from her world was some kind of faux pas at this point.]

[wildbluevagner]

Right... The - younger one. The funny thing is, she's actually older now than she was in my time. [Owing to her extra time in Luceti. But he frowns.] Still... I'm sorry if this is weird to you. Knowing these versions of us - it's gotta be a shock.

[girlverine]

[She is quiet again, looking around.]

I will adjust. You were the most obvious surprise.
