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.

[See this shit-eating grin on his face? He's not even trying to hide it.]

My, aren't someone's feathers a little ruffled. Well, I'm not very motivated to do anything at all with that attitude you've got.

[capsule_corp]

I guess that means no one's doing anything!

[ She shrugs, sparing just a glance over to see that grin, before looking away again. ]

I've got half a mind to take my attitude elsewhere, where it would be appreciated.

[ Okay, so "appreciated" is a pretty huge overstatement. Maybe "tolerated" or simply "misunderstood" would have been more accurate. ]

[misterbrief]

Oh really? Like where? [Toooootally still looking at her with that cocky smile. Now he's just being a huge brat.] I'm interested to know.

[capsule_corp]

[ Another shrug. Only this time, she smirking. ]

You know that Goku's here in Luceti, right?

[misterbrief]

Yes, I'm perfectly aware that moron has made his way here. What's your point. [....She's evil and he knows where this is going.]

[capsule_corp]

My point, Vegeta, is that maybe I'll just go visit Goku, since my company obviously isn't appreciated here!

[misterbrief]

What, so you can go talk about what he had for lunch all day? Yes, that sounds riveting, especially when there's no food to be had. I'm sure you'll have a great time. [His arms fold again, and he smirks again, giving her that 'you really don't want to go see him, do you' look.]

[capsule_corp]

[ She really doesn't (no offense, Goku!), but she's not going to make that obvious. She'll keep her smirk, thanks. ]

Oh, because standing around listening to you talk about how mad you are is SO much more interesting! Please!

[misterbrief]

Better than watching some clown stuff his face in front of you! Besides, if you didn't want to stick around, you'd of left already, now wouldn't you of. But here you are, still running your mouth here with me instead.

Hmf. [He sets himself back with those arms of his still crossed, pretty smug with himself.

[capsule_corp]

You're impossible, you know that? Would it kill you to stop being a jerk for five seconds?

[ Now she's actually considering it. ]

[misterbrief]

[No, he can't. Not while they're out in public, at least. His hand finds his hip and he smiles devilishly at her. This is one of his favorite things to do, tease her endlessly because getting her goat is far too much fun. You'd think the stick up his ass would be too far for him to pull this kinda stuff, but he's learned to let it go a little- and have a little fun.

Besides, he's always been a fan of schadenfreude.]

Yes, it would. [If he couldn't make it more clear he's teasing her, he does the brattiest thing he can think of- and sticks just the smallest part of his tongue out at her, still smiling like a jerk.

Where the hell do you think Trunks gets it from.]

[capsule_corp]

[ It's hard to say what irritates her more, him just being jerk normally, or him purposefully trying to get her riled up. She should really know better than to actually get worked up over it.

BUT OF COURSE, she does. Though she has the sense to try not to show it. Not that she's good at hiding her feelings, especially from him. ]

I guess you're right.

[ She's trying to keep her voice even, but her eyebrow is twitching. ]

I'm going home. Goodbye, Vegeta!

[misterbrief]

[Wait for it...wait for it...

There's a small amount of silence before he just busts out laughing. Complete amused laughter, not malicious or spiteful, just...amused. Look at her! She's so mad, that eyebrow of hers, look at it, he really got her!]

Aaahahhahaha! You should see the look on your face right now! Oh my, ahaha, you're pretty cute when you're angry, after all, haahahaa!

[capsule_corp]

[ He just HAD to throw a compliment like that in while laughing like a huge idiot! Of course she's angry, but her face is also just the slightest shade of pink after being called cute. ]

Nnngh, WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT UP?!

[misterbrief]

[Bwaahahaha he wins again]

You seem a little upset, was it something I said? Hahahahaha! [Look, her face is all pink, that's rich.]

[capsule_corp]

[ She'd probably punch him in the face if she didn't know that it would probably just make it all funnier to him. At this point, she's so angry that she's at a total loss, so she'll just ignore him and start for home with angry tears forming in the corners of her eyes. ]

1/2

[misterbrief]

Ah-!....

2/2

[misterbrief]

[Maaaaaybe he went a little too far. In fact, he's pretty sure he did, and of course he doesn't really realize it until it's too late. Well maybe she shouldn't get so angry with him, it was just a joke after all. That's what he tells himself, but he knows that laughing at her like that was probably the reason she was so upset.

Yeah, he screwed up and he knows it, but he's not going to admit it right away. Too proud. However, he comes up behind her and (hopefully without retribution) put his arm around her so his right hand is wrapped around holding her right shoulder, leaning over slightly to look right at her. He is completely prepared to get hit just in case.]

Now, you're not really that upset just because I said you looked cute, are you? [His tone is slightly agitated, acting like this totally isn't his fault at all even though it totally is his fault.]

[capsule_corp]

[ There's no retaliation, and she doesn't shrug him off either. But, she does look away. She's not even sure if she's still angry at him anymore, actually. The old Vegeta would have probably laughed at her and stalked off to go train or something by now. So, she's a little caught off guard that he's sort of apologizing? Again?

Until he speaks, that is. ]

Are you really that dense?

[ She still won't look at him, but at least she's not screaming this time! ]

[misterbrief]

Of course not! [Growl. He knows he's not going to get away with this. He hunches over, arms now folding across his chest again and practically looking like he's pouting because he doesn't want to have to apologize to her.]

Arrrrgh. [His eyes keep darting back from her to looking forward, looking like he's got something to say but he just won't say it.]

[capsule_corp]

[ Wiping her eyes, she finally looks over at him again, just in time to catch his suspicious eye movements. ]

Today, Vegeta! Spit out whatever other insult it is you've got rattling around in that empty head of yours so I can hurry up and get home!

[misterbrief]

[His mouth turns up and he straightens his back, but he knows, he knows if he doesn't take care of this now he will sorely regret it later. Because man, Bulma being all pissed off at home too will just be awful.]

I'm sorry for laughing at you.

[It's barely audible and he hates himself right now for saying it but it's better than the alternative.]

[capsule_corp]

That's right, you sh--

[ She was nodding, reveling in her own self-righteousness, until it sunk in. He apologized. Vegeta. Apologized. The rest of her sentence is caught in her throat as she turns slowly to simply stare at him, her mouth gaping.

Grats, Vegeta. You managed to silence her again! ]

[misterbrief]

[He glances back over to see that gaping mouth of hers. Oh my goddddddddddddddddddddddd]

What, is there something wrong, huh?! [His face is sort of red though, he's got a good inkling why she's gasping due to how much younger she is than him. That'll happen when your husband is around twenty years older than you and he changes a lot since then.]

[capsule_corp]

[ She gets right in his face, still wearing her shocked expression. Her voice is barely over a whisper. ]

Did you apologize? To me? Just now?
