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.

[Ginia knows Laika is a very friendly dog, and a smart dog considering how easily she slipped her collar, but not everyone is a dog lover. But at least he didn't mind, which is all the better.]

Her name is Laika. And I'm Ginia.

[Given her current alliance and training arrangement with Levi and Erwin, it was only a matter of time before they met. Might as well start introductions off earlier.]

Hi, Ginia. Hi, Laika.

[He leans down to scratch the dog behind her ear again. Sometimes he feels like he understands dogs better than people. Although he likes people, too, so he's glad to meet Ginia as well. There's something almost comfortingly normal about just saying simple things to someone, having a relatively ordinary conversation.

He's just going to accept that she doesn't talk without remarking on it. Doesn't seem to be any point to mentioning it, as she understands him well enough, and they're communicating just fine.]

I'm Mike. Nice to meet you.

[Laika looks up at Ginia as Mike scratches her ears again. Ginia nods and gives another whistle, a long note dipping down. Laika immediately moves closer to Mike, relaxing and savoring the attention. Friendly dog, attention loving dog.

Mike, not one of the names Levi or Jean had given her to keep an eye out for, but at least he wasn't one of the names both had considered dangerous.]

Nice to meet you.

I presume Levi and Erwin know you're around?

[He nods. It comes as no surprise to him that Erwin and Levi know people here, and his uniform is something of a giveaway, when it comes to his membership in the Corps.]

They do.

[Mike is all too happy to give Laika his attention, though he continues to look up and keep an eye on Ginia's phone messages, too.]

I reported in.

[Something he's very glad to be able to do.]

[Like a good soldier. But hey, at least she's not the one who has to explain that they're here or give any sort of explanations about this place. No doubt they already explained as much as they could to him.]

We'll probably be seeing each other around. I've been teaching them how to use weapons from my world and sparring with them.

[And though she'll be slow to admit it, they have become valuable allies, the cadets included. Their company is enjoyed and appreciated.]

[If Mike's one thing, he's a good soldier. He accepts Erwin's explanations without question. Although that's as much because Erwin's his friend as it is because he's Mike's commander.]

Good. I could always use more training.

[More than ever, he could use the practice, the improvement, and the reminder that he's a skilled fighter. And the prospect of learning something new is a pleasant one.]

I've been teaching them marksmanship and some hand-to-hand combat.

[Hand-to-hand they didn't need to learn, especially not Levi, but there were also techniques to be learned. Marksmanship, especially getting used to the weaponry from her world, that was something they were still improving. Their aim was getting better.

But simulations in the Battle Dome were one thing, real living breathing human-sized targets were another. She knew they would be fine in a draft or on a mission, but it was still a different target, a different setting.

And intelligent enemies were always game-changers.]

Always looking for new sparring partners too.

[She looks down at Laika, who is as happy as a dog can be.]

Looks like she likes you.

I do all right at hand to hand.

[After Levi, he was considered the second strongest at home, so he supposes he's not bad, though he's willing to learn new tricks, if old dogs are truly capable thereof. He'd like to try fighting with a new opponent, who knows new techniques. Sounds interesting.]

So we should spar sometime.

[Mike's hasn't been able to have a dog since joining up as a cadet. It's something he misses from his childhood. So he'd happily pet Laika for as long as she likes.]

It's mutual. She's a good dog.
