Test Flight Meme

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.

[ Levi has taken to monitoring the network for new arrivals as well as the contact list during the first week of the month, searching for names that are familiar. He also patrols around the village and outskirts regularly should anyone he recognizes show up in a strange place. The watch towers have been stocked just in case.

Annie's arrival had been noticed immediately, and they'd immediately set out to locate her, possibly even to subdue and detain her if she's a potential threat.

Erwin had said "potential." As far as Levi is concerned, she's a threat no matter what, especially if she can't be controlled.

Luceti isn't especially large, but they hadn't noticed her arrival until late, and had spent much of the night formulating possible approach plans, the best place to keep her should the need to capture her. Although with only a handful of them around, it'd be that much more difficult - particularly if she could shift into her titan form at any moment. It would be wiser, then, to simply ensure that she doesn't feel the need to transform.

That, of course, all depended on her, and Levi trusts few people, least of all traitors.

Still, it's a strange mixture of anger, arrogance, and curiosity that he approaches her at all like this. He doesn't usually wear the gear around the village unless he's going to train with it these days, but given that he's spent the energy specifically to track her down, he's wearing it. There's also a handgun on one hip, the first weapon he'd picked up here. ]

Don't get too fucking cozy here.

( Ah. Now there's the sort of thing she had hoped (in some part of herself) she wouldn't find herself needing to deal with. Yet it's there, too, in all thee reading - how there's a chance of others from home being here, much like they may never show at all. Luck isn't something she particularly believes in. She didn't expect to be lucky - there's only one person from home who won't, in some way, be part of the whole she's expected to hate her.

Even if things hadn't panned out exactly as they were planned.

The shift in her stance is an aware one, a half step back and around to square off against a familiar voice. She holds her hands at ready, only lowering them because it isn't practice, and Captain Levi will not come at her barehanded, if he comes at her at all. She knows what she looks like. She's a murderer in his eyes, and that's not even seemingly -- Annie has killed, directly or indirectly, more people than she can count on both hands. Levi's team in the pursuit of Eren; members of the Survey Corps for the same reason. People who couldn't be evacuated in time in the Stohess District. Eren had been no help in minimizing casualties there.

Her hands drop down to her sides in fractions, fists forcibly unclenched. She takes stock of Levi's inventory, from the deliberate decision (one presumes) to be in gear, and the gun on his hip. Annie's hands are bare of anything, no ring in sight. Not that one is needed, but it's an indication... seemingly, of intent so far.

Then again, with a loose fitting top, one couldn't know what might have been hidden there. For all the good it'd do her, and for all she's read 'death' isn't 'permanent' in this place. (And wings take a full 'week' to regenerate. How ludicrous a thought for anyone used to standard healing times. Even to Annie, it's strange to hear it be dismissed out of hand. )

Captain Levi.

( Her arm twitches. It's a simple absurdity - in spite of everything, she almost salutes. Some of that puzzling frustration show in her eyes. Overall, she keeps her expression neutral. She's only partly aware of the surprise she'd shown when he'd first spoken up after his arrival. )

[Levi watches her extremely closely, every little motion, gesture, and expression. She seems somewhat uneasy - good. Not unexpected, but Levi knows it isn't necessarily because of his presence, and more likely because of finding herself in a strange place. He doesn't plan to let her walk around completely unsupervised, though he can't exactly tail her all the time himself. Still, for the time being he's more than happy to dog her steps until he can organize a rotation.

She appears unarmed, but he's well aware that she's never defenseless. He's seen her fight, at least in titan form, and he's not about to let her appearance weaken his approach to her. For the time being, at least, his posture is loose, ready to go for his weapons or gear should it become necessary.]

Ch. Spare me your false formalities.

Hope you're getting used to your new cage.

( Doing away with formalities will save her on time trying to stand at ready. She's doing so anyway, as close as she can with her hands down at her side and not behind her, aware from a distance there's no technical need.

And still. )

Are you?

( She says after an extended silence. There's no real point in much anything she can say - yes or no, it's not a question so much of a statement. One she returns in sentiment, by asking him what she doesn't expect to hear answered.

Hope you're getting used to it, too. )

[his eyes narrow, always taking stock of her posture, her expression, the tension in her body. For some reason, it's all he can do to keep from just outright attacking.

He doesn't, not only because it would be stupid, but because he's already wrought his fury on her once for the death of his squad. Doing it here holds no meaning. Even capturing and questioning her, even if they somehow manage to learn something new from her, none of it will matter when they're returned.

If they're returned.]

There's no escape for any of us. There's no fucking wall for you to try to escape over, no wilderness so vast and dangerous that we couldn't pursue your every step.

We're all stuck here together, so if you don't want to find yourself chained to a wall in a constant state of missing limbs, I suggest you don't give me a reason to have the pleasure of slicing you up piece by piece.

Understand?

( Her biggest reaction stays as a fluttering of her eyelashes. The rest is exactly what one might expect. The unexpected factor is this place, the whole of Luceti, and what that changes ultimately or doesn't is yet to be discovered. This is almost a relief.

Even more, she almost wants to laugh. No pretense. There's no game to play, no one to convince, and a majority of people who won't care either way, which is a sight better than back home. She supposes worlds beyond their own have little reason to hate her.

Ah, but that does strike her as funny. It's not much of a laugh, more of a huff of inappropriate amusement and the ghost of what could have been a smile, once upon a time. Annie glances down, hands fisting at her sides. )

As long as I'm not given one, understood.

Good.

[As far as Levi is concerned, her motivations are still unpredictable, and that makes her dangerous. But they don't have the capacity for a large enough operation to capture her without risking a tremendous amount of damage or getting other people involved. Even if they'd managed that, the sheer task of making sure she stays subdued would take up a lot of time and energy. At this point, Levi knows it's too much to ask of the people they've allied themselves with to help them do that.

So, for now, she gets to be free.

He looks at her, and it isn't as though it doesn't occur to him that in many (most?) ways, she's just like the rest of her class of cadets he's taken in himself. Perhaps, under different circumstances, he could have even liked her if they'd had any opportunity to interact before now.

Levi doesn't waste time on "what ifs" or "could have beens". All he sees in her now is a traitor and an enemy.]

( One hears you're supposed to keep those very, very close.

She takes it as enough of an agreement for now to let it be the sort of tenuous foundation recognized between two people who knew there were worse things in the immediate vicinity than each other. Nothing binding, not on words - actions spoke louder, and she knew hers would be under careful observation. It's nothing she looks forward to, particularly when so much of what has made her effective is her ability to blend in and move around with minimal notice. It may still be effective with any outside of Levi's group, whatever those numbers were.

She'll move with caution. It's habit. She's not looking to instigate in the first place, even less so with nothing to gain. )

Is that all?

( As if it's a light thing. Her words aren't light, nor are they heavy. Her tone of voice is neutral, carrying no particular inflections. She's holding herself to an invisible standard of something, close to the poise of someone trained to be a soldier. Not so surprising. It's what she's spent years doing in the first place. )

[He intends to keep a very very close eye on her, at least. For now he doesn't have any intention of exposing just what she is to the general public of Luceti unless necessary, but he's also keeping an eye on the cadets to make sure that they don't get too close to her, either.

It's a little strange - surreal almost. Levi has had no contact with her in this way - human - until now. In his mind, she's always been either a fifteen meter tall murderous monster, or a girl frozen over in impenetrable crystal. If it hadn't been for that, he probably wouldn't have even recognized her. Still, seeing her like this, he has a hard time recognizing anything human in her. Or perhaps it's because he doesn't want to recognize it.

Still, there is one thing that he's been curious about for weeks.]

No. I want you to answer a question.

That time you tried to capture Eren and I cut him from your mouth. [and brutally murdered his squad, but Levi refuses to talk about them with her]

I looked back and there were tears on your giant-ass face.

Why?

( There's a flicker of some emotion in her eyes, one that has her looking away, even skyward. She doesn't claim the things she feels often, and not to relative, technical strangers. She hadn't know he'd seen what he had, had no reason to believe anyone would. She doesn't want to remember so much of the pointlessness of what had happened. She still does, btu she wonders what it is Levi hopes to learn from something like this.

She doesn't have anything to give him. She can't. )

I wonder why, such a pointless thing...

( Annie leaves the statement trailing. Let him take what he wants from that; if he saw only avoidance, if the pointlessness was in crying, if the pointlessness was in the pain and death and suffering of all, if the pointlessness was in trying to change anything about what course of action she'd been set on for years.

She has no comfort to give, knowing what she knows. What is regret? What are apologies? What is it to feel in a moment the things that overwhelm you without words? She's more surprised her Titan cried with her, and the cause, the thoughts and feelings, those are hers alone. )

[It's no more an answer than he expected, if he's completely honest. But it doesn't make him press more - for now, at least. Levi observes and evaluates people carefully, and her physical reaction speaks more than her words. What any of it is really supposed to mean, however, he can't possibly puzzle out, given that he knows fuck all about her.

At this point, he doesn't really care, either.

Instead of a real response, he merely scoffs and turns and walks away, footsteps hard against the dirt.]

( And that's when Annie threw the banana creme pie at Levi's head

for justice

and the vicarious pleasure of having thrown a pie at the back of his head okay it's a thing why not )

( oh no you did NOT.

He is going to bury you.

Shingeki no PIEFIGHT. )
