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.

You want me to what? [EXCUSE YOU.]

I'm not cooking anyone's dinner. That's your job.

[capsule_corp]

Suit yourself! I'm on vacation.

[misterbrief]

Fine by me. I'll just go to the restaurant instead then! [Nevermind he's been actually trying to learn to cook in her absence. He's leaving out all the stuff he's burned in the past ten months. He can make toast and use the microwave. Maybe boil noodles.]

[capsule_corp]

Since when do you go out to restaurants?! And this place actually has one? Could have fooled me...

[ She huffs loudly, turning her nose up. ]

I don't even think I believe you! I bet that you'll be begging me to cook you something by tomorrow.

[misterbrief]

We'll see about that. [HE HAD TO GO SOMEWHERE FOR A DECENT MEAL EVENTUALLY...] This place does have one in fact, and I daresay it's better than any of that slop you serve.

[Not true. But he's being a jackass.]

[capsule_corp]

Is that so? Well, I hope it's as good as you say, because you can go ahead and eat there from now on!

[ And definitely take her there on a date, which she will demand the next time they aren't arguing. ]

[misterbrief]

[Dates? He doesn't do dates.]

I think I will. I happen to like the sushi their cook makes. I don't see you making a whole lot of that at home, now do you? [He loves sushi!]

[capsule_corp]

[ HE WILL... one way or another, he will. ]

Oh, you want sushi? Why didn't you just say so? I'll give you sushi.

[ And what a glorious day it will be, when she dumps a dead fish and a pile of rice in his lap, and calls it a night. ]

[misterbrief]

[He doesn't like the way she's saying that. He wonders what shenanigans she had in mind.] Oh no, I don't want to eat anything you've poisoned, so I'll just get it from somewhere I know is much safer to eat at. For all I know you've got an entire bottle of rat poison waiting just for me somewhere in that kitchen.

[capsule_corp]

Excuse me?

[ REALLY? She doubts rat poison would even work on him, but even so, how dare he accuse her of something like that? ]

Now you're saying I'd poison you? Get real, Vegeta! At least you got the rat part right.

[misterbrief]

How dare you refer to me as a rat! If you were anyone else I'd be throwing you through the nearest house right now for a statement like that! [Are they walking with their arms still linked? They still are aren't they.]

[capsule_corp]

[ They are! Since it was so very close to not being totally serious. At that point though, she doesn't actually let go of him, but she does pull away so she's no longer leaning on him. ]

Why don't you just go ahead, then? Just make sure you throw me far enough so that I can't hear your stupid voice anymore!

[misterbrief]

[Well, if she insists.]

[In one fluid motion, he scoops her right up off the ground, so she's being cradled in his arms. Which, he can easily change to a throwing position anytime he wants.]

I'd be careful what you wish for. You just might get it, after all.

[capsule_corp]

VEGETA!!

[ For a moment, she's more shocked than angry, and she quickly clamps her arms around his neck. ]

ARE YOU CRAZY?!

[misterbrief]

[Chuckling softly at her, his expression softens. He got her again, it was too easy, really. Making her scream, and clinging to him, but he can't help but notice how beautiful she was in his arms. No matter how much she screams at him, and no matter how much he fights back, she's his gorgeous, intelligent wife and he doesn't regret choosing to stay with her over everything else.]

Of course not. Why don't we try having you be quiet for a change.

[He stops walking, holding up her torso closer so he can lean over to softly kiss her lips, locking his own in place on hers as he slowly kisses her, until finally releasing after a moment.

If that doesn't shut her up, he doesn't know what will. And he knows it was good because he's had lots and lots of practice doing this now.]

[capsule_corp]

[ By the time he stops, her face is flushed. She can feel the warmth in her cheeks, and she doesn't even care. As antagonizing as he is, it doesn't matter. She does love him dearly, and Hell, maybe that's one of the reasons why. He's one of the few people who never backs down from her.

She smiles softly, and rests her face against the side of his, closing her eyes. She is quiet... For a moment, anyway. And when she does speak again, it's almost inaudible. ]

Jerk.

[misterbrief]

You wouldn't have me any other way.

[It was nice, after all their fighting that he could have moments like this with her. He closes his own eyes and enjoys the moment, because it won't last, it never does with her. They'd be back to fighting again soon and he knew it, but that doesn't mean he can't appreciate what he's got right in front of him, which he's taking liberty of doing right now.]

[capsule_corp]

Maybe you're right... But only if you carry me the rest of the way! Otherwise, I'm going to have to request a personality change.

[ She pulls her face back a little, and winks at him. She's only joking, of course... About the personality part. The part about being carried is serious. ]

[misterbrief]

You're just lazy and don't want to walk is all. I should drop you right now, right on your behind and make you walk home. [He grins though, landing another quick peck on her cheek. He'll carry her, if that's what she wants. He's in a good mood now.]

[capsule_corp]

Hmph! You should feel lucky, getting to carry such a beautiful woman down the street.

[ Finally! Though, she is too. All of the arguing is totally forgotten for the time being, as she happily rests her head against him again, while she has the chance. ]

[misterbrief]

[He does feel lucky, but not because he gets to carry her.]

I think you're the one who should feel lucky, being carried in the arms of a prince! I don't do this everyday, you know.

[capsule_corp]

You know, it wouldn't be so bad if you did.

[ She closes her eyes, and makes an overly dramatic tsking sound. Though, she does open one again, so she can glance up at him, just to make sure he knows she's joking. She doesn't actually want to get thrown. ]

All that training, and yet you never put it to any use.

[ Because carrying your wife around is obviously more important than saving the universe and all. ]

[misterbrief]

Hah! Maybe not for your tastes, but I don't train just so I can bend over backwards for my insufferable wife. I've got bigger fish to fry if you haven't noticed. [He knows she's joking, and his tone of voice is reflecting the same back to her. One of this other Favorite Things to Do. Flirt with her.]

[capsule_corp]

It's your insufferable wife who made all of that training possible, so the least you could do is make her feel loved once in a while!

[misterbrief]

What are you trying to say? I practically shower you in affection! What planet are you living on?! [Argh, why is she so cute. He nuzzles her just to make his point.]
