the luceti test flight meme

Reserves are open 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.

That doesn't...

[It takes until he describes it as a disease that she really gets it, though, crossing her arms and starting to tap a foot against the ice. Starting to because as soon as she remembered she was on ice and not solid ground (or water), she put a stop to that immediately lest she lose her balance. Now isn't the time.

That doesn't mean she won't draw a single kunai just to flick into the air and catch, more as a gesture to help her think than anything else.]

If the worst was a year ago, though, you must've found some way to fight them?

[ She's got that darn knife out again; Lea's eyes follow it up and down, into and out of her hand. ]

Not on a wide scale. More like, someone bumped off the biggest one and that killed enough of them back to make them more manageable. [ Explaining much more than that will take a long time. And run back into that long, self-incriminating story. Whoops. ] It's a complicated kind of thing.

So if you don't know, then I guess you aren't training to fight Heartless. Which brings me back: [ he pointedly refocuses his attention to the knife, after his eyes had drifted to the girl while he spoke to her: ] You in the army, or something?

[That doesn't make any sense, and she has her mouth open to point that out, before she just shrugs. Alright, it's weird enough that they're something made from stealing people's hearts? Maybe they're a hive mind or something, like with some of the Aburame bugs. (Those work like that, right?)

She follows his gaze to the kunai instead, giving it a final, careless toss before hurling it forward toward one of the other targets along the shore. The force from the throw sends her skating slightly back until she catches her own momentum against the ice.]

Kind've, [she answers with a bit of a shrug.] Usually I'm not, but we were at war when I left. [Got taken, kidnapped, disappeared, etc. Word of choice, really.

If the world made any kind of sense here, he should already know what she is from the forehead protector alone, the one marked with the sign for shinobi. It's usually apparent enough that she doesn't really think twice before admitting,] I'm a ninja.

[ Aha, so Lea wasn't that far off when he thought about that Kisaragi girl back in the Garden. Not that they knew one another very well, but he knew she was training for something like that. That whole family was ninjas, or something.

So maniac girl's come from a war. (Lea would think to himself that she looks too young, but then again, she looks to be the same age as Roxas, as Riku and Sora and Kairi, and they've all been dragged into their own war.) Maybe maniac girl's war is related to the Heartless and the growing darkness, maybe coincidentally not. ]

S'that so... [ He scratches his head. ] Good luck with that, kid.

By the way, what is your name, anyway?

Luck, [she repeats, with a bit of a disbelieving laugh. Luck's got nothing to do with war -- or then, maybe it does. Luck could be the deciding factor in who survives to the end of the war, after all. The wrong place at the right time, if she was going to think about Neji.

Faster than blinking, another knife is in her hand, being flipped up and down, up and down, quicker than before to give her something to focus on, something to drown out the idea that had Neji been on her side of the battlefield, that would never have happened.

Her face contorts a bit, a little shadowed, a little tired. Then almost as quickly as it appears, she forces with away with a quick smile.] Thanks. The name's Tenten though, not kid, so you'd better remember that.

[Quick, time to lighten up the conversation again, something to keep him from asking about the war. What was it he'd said a few minutes ago?]

Got it memorized?

[ Lea just watches her throw the first knife, have another one out as quick as anything. He knows that tone of voice, the need to have something in your hands. Kid's been through a war. Terrible things happen in a war.

He only offers a wry grin. ]

I'll be sure to memorize that one. Tenten.

[She appreciates that he just accepts it. Doesn't feel the need to pry or ask questions. It shows in the quirk to her lips, the genuine smile that dimples her cheeks, just a little.]

Same for you, Lee. So how about you get out here and try your hand at the ice, huh?

[ Lea immediately steps back, putting his hands up. ]

Ahaha, thanks but no thanks. Ice and I don't get along. And, you know, I have this really high center of gravity and all, and --!

Oh please!

[She laughs and lunges forward, grabbing his arm and yanking him forward. He's skinny and doesn't look like he's got all that much weight to him, so she's not expecting that much resistance, really.

But he's not wearing ice skates. She'd forgotten about that part. Oops.]

- Agh!

[ Sure enough, Lea isn't that heavy for a guy of his height, and holy shit Tenten is strong for her size! She yanks him right out onto the ice, and Lea's feet immediately begin sliding, until he manages to find a rough patch where some bubbles and reeds had frozen into the ice, giving him enough traction to avoid falling straight down. ]

Warn a guy, will you!?

[ Well, he's on the ice now. ]

[And she just laughs again, slipping her kunai away and skating backwards, both hands clasped behind her back.]

You're fine, don't be such a baby. Should've brought skates, though.
