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.

[You wouldn't steal a man's doughnuts would you, Wan? No man could be that evil!

Well, Vash would be if he was in need of doughnuts, but they're free here in Luceti so he doesn't need to steal! Instead he's just leaving the bakery and stuffing his face with a large bag full of the tasty treats!]

[Yes. Yes he is that evil.

Well... actually he's not evil, only literally starving. And he has been hiding out waiting for someone to walk out with more than enough food. If luceti was anywhere near as densely packed as his city he could have done something cool like swoop in from a window or slide off a roof or swing from a clothes line. But his options? Pretty limited here. But he does have fire now, so there's that.

So as Vash passes his hiding spot next to the building Wan will release a little bit of fire... well... as little as he actually can right now. Right at the bottom edge of his jacket. Because anyone who is sane would drop their food if their clothes were on fire.]

[Vash and normal, sane people is not things that mix together well. He keeps right walking for a moment as he munches on the doughnuts. Eventually the smell of burning smoke catches his nose.

Huh, he pauses to look around. Doesn't look like anything is one fire nearby? Although it looks like there's smoke coming from... right... below... himself.] AHHHH FIRE! HELP! FIRE!

[Holding his precious doughnuts high above his head Vash attempts to stamp out the fire that has been set to his trademark jacket.]

[... what is wrong with this guy]

[Well, now is as good a time as any.]

[Wan is going to run out, completely innocent and deeply concerned. Look at how innocent and helpless he is about this whole situation, half heartedly kicking a tiny bit of dust on the flames.]

[When this obviously doesn't work Wan shouts in a panicked voice.]

Quick you need to take that off! I'll hold your food!

[holding out his arms now. You can totally trust the kid who hasn't had an actual meal in who knows how long and conveniently appeared out of nowhere with your food, right?]

[Sadly for Wan, instead of handing over the food like any sane person would, Vash clutches it protectively to his chest.] No! I think it might be going out now! I think it's okay, friend!

[Because this guy who had totally come to help in a pathetic manner just HAS to be Vash's friend and not after his food!

Wait! Vash has a great idea! He uses some of the wind magic he's learned from Kipinn to blow out the fire! Genius! Only, instead of putting the small flame out it actually helps to feed the flame and make it bigger.] AHHHHH!

You're making it worse!

[Wan is getting legitimately worried now that this guy is going to get seriously burned because of him. He's mastered the art of throwing fire in the general direction of stuff you want to burn, not really controlling it. He would make it go down if he could, food or not it's not like he wanted to hurt the guy.

But even though he hasn't realized how yet, Wan is controlling the fire... sort of. The fire dims in response to his emotions- but not by much.]

I thought it would make it better! [Dimming is much better than raging in Vash's mind. He did not want to lose his trade mark coat, but he didn't want to lose the doughnuts either! What was he suppose to do in this situation!?

Suddenly an idea strikes and without thinking he acts on it. Dashing towards the fountain in the middle of the square and jumping into it while holding his food above his head.] Ahhhhhhhh!

[Good! Fire out. One problem.] C-c-c-c-c-c-COLD!

[Crazy. This guy is crazy.]

[Sigh. Well... at least he wasn't burned.]

[Suddenly the bag of delicious baked goods isn't worth it.

Stealing from this guy wasn't really fun anyways.]

[Wan will just walk ok over while you are flailing around in the fountain.]

Need a hand?

[With a slightly shivering smile Vash nods and holds out a hand.] Y-y-yeah, g-guess I could, friend!

[You know what's great for warming people up and drying them off? Fire. Too bad Wan's not going to use it now. Because as nice as Wan is and how bad he feels about almost lighting the crazy guy on fire, that would mean getting caught.

Instead he'll take the stranger's hand and try to help him out of the water. Wan is fairly strong despite being a short teenager built like a twig. ~~a lifetime of Aladdin-esque chase scenes will do that to you~~.]

[Vash climbs out of the fountain with Wan's help. Still shivering a bit, but he grins as he checks on his doughnuts.] Oh, thank goodness! They're safe! I would have never forgiven myself if these tiny delectable, heavenly cakes were ruined! [He shovels a couple into his mouth to sooth his ache.]

Mmhmm perfect for warming up with too! [He reaches into the bag and holds one out to Wan.] Want one? In thanks for helping me out! [Then go get you're own. They're free after all. THESE ARE HIS!]

[Wan will politely take the doughnut off of his hands. Little did Vash know how much he wanted one. Not that Wan has ever seen one before, but they are edible, and they do smell tasty, and this guy is way too excited about them.]

I get another one if I save you from choking, right?

[He's only half joking.]

[Vash swallows his current mouthful.] I suppose so. [He stuffs a couple more to replaces the ones he just swallowed.] Although I never choke on doughnuts. [Chew. Chew.] You'd probably have better luck asking for some more from the bakery yourself.

[Munch. Munch.] Hm, the bakery would be a good place to warm up in... [That last bit is said more to himself than Wan.]

[You know, it hasn't occurred to him yet that in Luceti you can just get things like food without stealing it. ~~because who needs intro posts in memeland~~.]

[Well, time to take a bite of his own doughnut. Here goes nothing.]

[...]

[This is the best thing he has ever eaten in his entire life. So much better than dirty bread. He still ate it slowly out of habit and wanting to make it last of course.]

[Vash may not be aware that Wan doesn't know everything is free in Luceti, but he knows that look. He knows that look well. The look of some pour soul who has never been able to eat doughnuts before getting their first taste.]

Pretty good, isn't it? The bakers here make some of the best doughnuts I've ever tasted, don't you agree? Have you not had one before?
