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 music? Try playing DJ at HQ, the new nightclub!
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.

[Silver grumbles, rubbing his hip as he's kinda squished into a shelf full of jars.] Wouldn't kill you to watch where you're going, stupid.

[hotboss]

[Kids sure haven't changed a bit since he left. Hopefully this place isn't so full of them (especially the ambitious hat-wearing kind).

He shoots a look over a hunched shoulder; it's no longer his place to show a child his place - at least, not at this very moment. It's just some scrawny...red hair...

Giovanni pauses in his step.]

[tsunsandsteals]

...are you going to pick something out or are you just gonna stand there like an idiot all day? I've got places to be. [Hey, just because he's learned how to be nice doesn't mean he's always gonna do it. Especially when he's been squished into a shelf and would like to get this shopping business over with kthx.]

[hotboss]

[It - it really is him. Of all the places...

He's a little taller, of course, and the hair's a bit longer. What has he been up to since Giovanni left? Trapped here the entire time?

Not that the boy's up for chatting, probably. Giovanni pulls his hat down lower and steps away, looking for the exit. Looks like he'll have to alter his plans for being here a bit.]

[tsunsandsteals]

Finally. Now I just-

[Wait. Now that he's getting a better look-

It can't be. No, that's not...Dad ditched him a long time ago, why would he suddenly be here? He sucks in a deep breath, praying all the anger and hurt and stupid kid feelings won't come rushing at him. So what? Dad's here, big whoop, it's not like anyone's gonna know they're related or something.]

Yeah. Okay, you go on, then. [Pretends to be overly fascinated by the jars of stir-fry sauce.]

[hotboss]

[Oh, he heard that sharp inhale there. The boy knows.

Thankfully it looks like he's not enraged enough to make a scene in the middle of a store. He better get on his way then. But first...] Sorry.

[They can talk later, if Silver really wants to.]

[tsunsandsteals]

[He's a little too numb and shocked to make a scene right now. Count yourself lucky, Dad. And no, he doesn't want to talk. Not to you.

Not really.

Even if he did, it wouldn't change anything.]

Don't let it happen again.

[hotboss]

[He's right - it's not going to change anything. Nor can he really promise it won't happen again.

He'll get going, then.] Farewell.

[tsunsandsteals]

Yeah, sure. [Yeah. Smarter, stronger, and nicer. You'd probably call him weak and stupid, but he doesn't care. It feels good to have people actually like you and not just kiss your boots and grovel before you. Not that you'd know.

He puts the jar in his basket, then kinda gets the hell out of there. Accidentally crashing into someone. Way to make a hypocrite of yourself, Silver.]
