TEST DRIVE MEME: FEBRUARY + MARCH EDITION

Welcome to bravenewworld's test drive meme! This post is designed to help players test out their characters within the setting, as well as give them an opportunity to collect samples for their future application. The prompts below are all optional, and can be used to get a feel for the game, but we encourage players to get creative and use this post however best suits their needs. Players are welcome to use either prose or brackets for their threads.

When creating a thread, it is advised that players give their prospective thread partners a bit of information in the subject line, such as the characters name and canon, or a possible typing and Enlightened ability (if this is applicable). These are not required, but will make it easier for any prospective players to thread with you. While not required, we also encourage you to take a look at the most recent AU Planning post.

THIS CYCLE'S PROMPTS
#1 After the events in Union, the settlement of Refuge has decided to make the Shattering a more public affair. People who were impacted by the tragedies that befell the city, or those who wish to pay respects to a lost family member are encouraged to either send a Litwick off into the caves, or go off to find one. Who knows, you may find something out about yourself--or about the others around you.

#2 The Medical Center in Union is in need of volunteers, and has sent out a call. But it's not because of what you might think. The weather has been surprisingly warm this time of year, and because of it, a number of Pokémon have decided to, um, fix the population discrepancy that the Elite Four's attack has caused. Baby 'mon have overrun the Breeding Center, and many have found their way at the Medical Center for overflow. There are going to be a lot of diapers that need changing...

#3 With the warm weather hinting at a full return, flocks of Pokémon have begun their northern migration back into the Verdant Forest and beyond. Unfortunately, a few of the wild Flying-type breeds are less than respectful of old monuments, and the Lake and Forest Shrine have received a few unwanted guests making a mess. Shooing them off only seems to anger them, and the Shrines are filthy as a result of their visit. Ugh, will these rude Pokémon ever leave?!

#4 After the attack from the Elite Four, help has been filtering in from all parts of the known world. As a result, a number of temporary food carts have opened up in the business district of Union. Workers have to eat, right? This is a perfect time to expand your palette, but be warned, some of the delicacies can be a bit... eclectic, we'll say. Eat at your own risk.

#5 Wildcard! Come up with your own prompt!

If you have any setting questions, or want to do some reading before posting a thread, you can find the setting directory here! Happy tagging!

She'll have plenty of time to adjust :)b

Yep! Just one of each thing will do. Don't wanna take too much and not leave enough for everyone.

[He seems so sincere about it, too - not a trace of bluffing in either face or voice.]

[umiiro]

[She is scrutinizing the hell out of him. Also she might be Analyzing him, too. Nothing out of the ordinary... He doesn't APPEAR to be a Munchlax shifter...]

[Well. IT'S BUSINESS. She will just laugh a little nervously before offering him a bow and turning towards the owner of the stand.]

One of everything!

[To Right.]

Just a few minutes, is that okay?

[She is going to whip this up as fast as possible good lord.]

[lunchleader]

That's alright! Take your time...

[Right smiles and waves off any concerns, happily stepping to one side as he waits for his order. That way, anyone else working there can get the next person's order.]

[umiiro]

[Man they just made a ton of money. Umi wastes no time getting to work. She wields that ladle and stack of disposable containers like a pro, stacking it all nice and neat into a few carry out bags.]

[She does pause as she packs in a nice bowl of rice for him.]

Ah- so, does that include the local menu?

[Aka the stuff usually only Calderan's get. The stuff that might actually kill you.]

[lunchleader]

[Local in Right's mind means Union-Local...ooops.]

Well, yeah! Local is local, after all!

[umiiro]

[Your funeral. Hope you enjoy those nachos that might literally be ghost pepper pulp and a sprinkle of cheese.]

[Anyway, you definitely get one of everything and when she finally finishes bagging all of it, she wipes away a bead or two of sweat and presents him with the final bag.]

Your order, sir!

[lunchleader]

[As each bag's handed to him, he hands it off in turn to one of the bi-pedal Pokemon with him. Right himself will take the last bag in hand.]

Thanks a lot! I'm sure everyone will enjoy this...especially Honoka.
