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.

[something else is worrying her - he hasn't quite caught on that it seems to her he must be dead also. His frown deepens, brows knitting even more tightly together. Levi drops his hand, folds his arms across his chest as he looks at her carefully.]

Almost two months.

[there's fear in her. Luceti is a strange place, and the fact that they're here at all is even stranger, but Petra's seen strange and horrible things, and this can't all be a reaction to simply that. Levi's expression and voice turn stern.]

Petra. What's wrong?

[She shakes her head, trying to process the information. Two months? That wasn't right at all.]

I just saw you--even if the Female Titan killed you, you couldn't have been here that long before me.

[Her hand raises to her chest, clenching over her heart. It didn't make sense, none of it.]

It's not possible, it just isn't.

[he's taken a little off guard by that, eyes widening a moment-

-she thinks he's also dead, that this is some kind of afterlife. For better or worse, that isn't the case, and the way she withdraws like that makes him step forward and clasp both of his hands to her shoulders.]

No, you're right. It isn't.

[Levi waits for her to look at him - Petra, probably the only person he knew who was the closest in eye level with him. He presses his fingertips against her briefly in encouragement.]

I'm not dead, Petra. This isn't some kind of shitty afterlife.

[she's been given a second chance at life - not that it's much better than before, but at least it isn't anything like a supposed heaven. If such a thing truly existed, that'd be where she deserved to be, after all. Not in another hell.]

But... but how?

[The dead don't walk among the living; it's just a fact. It would be one thing if they were both dead or both alive, but this wasn't possible.]

This isn't right, I can't be here like this if you're alive.

[ Who would do something like this to begin with, a wretched excuse for reunion? As much as she didn't want to be parted from Levi or the rest of the world, what was the point of stealing someone away from their home and keeping them with the dead? Unless he's lying to her to make her feel better, but that's not the kind of comforting solicitude he'd offer her--not usually, at least.]

Besides, how could you have been here for so long without anyone noticing?

I don't know.

[he fully admits it - there are a lot of things about Luceti he still doesn't understand. Lately a lot of those questions all begin with why.

Why is she here? Why bring her here? Why bring anyone back from the dead?

Regardless of what he wants, what he feels, she's right - this isn't right, but he can't do anything about it. She's here now, and they'll just have to proceed from there.

He drops his hands from her slowly, crossing his arms over his chest.]

Time works differently here. People say that time stops while you're here, and when - if - someone goes back, they can't remember their time here. It's like nothing ever happened.

[She bites her lip, shaking her head. It didn't make sense, none of this could be possible. She had heard some wild stories growing up, but this? This took the cake. If it hadn't been Levi standing in front of her and telling her this, she wouldn't believe it at all, just roll her eyes and walk away. Instead. she wraps one arm around herself, trying to keep her voice steady as she asks her next question.]

So, it the others may not be here?

[It's obvious who she means by others. Eld, Oluo, Gunther--any of the rest who fell on that mission. She would have spotted one of them by now, right? Oluo was loud enough, she could have heard him from outside the store if he was here.]

[Levi shifts his weight, almost reaching out to her again. It's hard not to, with the pain audible in her voice and all too obvious in her posture.]

I haven't seen them.

I'd like to see them, if you can be here, so can they.

[which is about as close to expressing how much he misses them as he'll ever get, especially out loud, and perhaps even to himself.]

[She nods, hand clenching in her shirt. If she started looking now, she should be able to cover a good chunk of the place before it was dark. She knows where they'd go if they had been brought here, though it's a matter of finding out where the good bars were.]

Where are you staying, sir? I want to go look for them. I'll bring them to you if I see them.

[surely, if they were there, they'd be just as lost as she was. It would be important to find them as soon as possible. She's not tolerating the little thought in the back of her mind that they might not have come here with her.]

[for some reason it aches more than he'd anticipated just then. Her being here hurts enough, but seeing her want to search for the others, seeking some kind of sense and normalcy in this place that is simply inconceivably abnormal twists even more. To find them, bring them all back together again.

Levi vaguely knows what happened, what little Eren could remember before he'd changed had been enough to give him an idea of what happened.

He wants to reach out to her, but can't bring himself to do it.]

...Petra. They're not here. They might arrive at some point, but they're not here now.

[She shakes her head. How could he know that they weren't there? They couldn't say anything until they had checked every hole in the wall bar or pub there, and then there were whatever restaurants were around. She wasn't going to give up, so long as there was some dim flicker of hope.]

No, they could be here. You just found me first, that's all. You didn't know I was here until you saw me, right? We just have to look.

[Stupid idiots they were, they'd be easy enough to find once it was night, anyway. None of them would be foolish enough to sleep on the streets, so it'd be easy to check then, too.]

[No, it's true - he hadn't known she was here yet, but he'd checked the journal only that morning. None of their names had been listed then, so she had clearly just arrived.

It's worth checking again, at least, but Levi had a feeling they still wouldn't be there if he looked.

He takes out his journal, flipping a few pages until he finds the contact list and searches for their names. Petra's is there, but none of the others.

Levi shakes his head, offers the journal to her to look for herself.]

They're not. At least, not yet, if they are going to show up.
