Test Drive Meme (February + March)


TEST DRIVE MEME: FEBRUARY + MARCH EDITION



Welcome to [community profile] 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!

[That... looks like it hurt. Natalia was just in the forest to get a start on some practice with her new abilities, when she was passing by but Kurapika's training caught her attention.

She's coming over, extending gloved a hand to him, an offer to help him up.]
Are you alright?

[He sits up, rubbing where he landed, more out of habit than anything, funny how little things don't hurt anymore]

Ah... Yes. I'm all right.

[The chains rattled as he accepts Natalia's help]

Thank you. I didn't realize there were others here.

[She'll help pull him to his feet, offering him something of a sheepish smile.]

I was coming out here to train as well. [A small gesture to indicate the bow she's carrying.] ... Are you new to Union? I can't recall having seen you before...

[... Of course, Natalia can't really... say much on that front, given how she's been out of Union herself for so long.]

[He bows his head in confirmation and in greeting as he brushes off the tabard]

I'm a traveler and came to Union by chance. After seeing what has happened, I felt it was only right to stay and help with the reconstruction.

My name is Kurapika.

It's wonderful to make your acquaintance, Kurapika. My name is Natalia.

[She punctuates that introduction with a curtsy.] I'm certain I speak for all of the city when I say we're grateful for your assistance.

Let's just say I understand what it's like to have one's world turned upside down.

Ah, is that so... [She won't pry, though, that's rude.]

It's amazing to see even the other cities gather to help... Quite heartening, after what happened, really. [She fiddles with a lock of hair, her smile turning a touch uneasy. She'd been out of the city when the attack happened. Maybe if she had been there, she could have done something to help before...]
