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!

[ For as headstrong and overbearing as Kanade can sometimes be when it comes to her livelihood, it's moments like these where that veneer melts away just a bit. Knowing she has the ability to affect someone's day for the better, give anyone a reason to smile despite the odds they face... well, it's more than worth the time and effort spent in the kitchen, perfecting it down to the last dollop of cream. ]

I can't rightly tell you not to get addicted, can I? That's just bad for business and morale. I can't stand for that!

[ It's a gentle tease, punctuated with a giggle, as she watches the Eevee accept her offering. Kanade leans back, wiping her hands on her apron. ]

There. Now that's two deserving tummies taken care of.

[ Patting her knees with a satisfied noise, she climbs back to her feet. ]
drawntodream: (Sounds perfect!)

[Before she can scold her partner properly, the girl draws Yui's attention again, and she can't help but giggle herself.] It'd be terrible. I'll have to manage, I suppose. I could think of worse fates than coming in for a sugar rush a few times a week.

[After a second, though, she crouches back down herself, looking Eevee right in the eye, sternly but without a lot of force behind it.] Eve. We've talked about being nice to people when they give you treats. Please thank Miss... [Yui blinks, before looking back up to Kanade, a bit chagrined.] Actually, I don't know her name yet. But thank her anyway! Both of us should, for that matter. [She stands back up, carefully making sure her small remaining portion of cake stays where it is.]

I apologize for my rudeness... more like my exhaustion, but that doesn't really excuse it. This is just what I needed! Thank you, really.

[ In watching her speak to her bondmate, Kanade immediately gets the impression of a person who was perhaps a bit too honest, and even more kind. When she addresses her again, she finds her suspicions confirmed. One brow quirking, Kanade smiles a little incredulously and waves a hand. ]

If that's what you consider rude, you must not have dealt with all the Calderans!

[ This girl is practically a saint in comparison. ]

And it's Kanade. Kanade Minamino. You're welcome at any time!
drawntodream: (I think that's fine.)

I don't exactly do well working with people, a lot of the time. I'm kind of introverted. [Said with minimal shame.] I'm getting better, though! [Honey, it's not fast enough.]

But, ah. I'm Yui Nanase. It's nice to meet you, Kanade! Oh, and this is Eve. [Her tone is steady with cheer as she introduces herself, and belatedly remembers to add in her friend a moment later, gesturing down at her; when she hears her name, Eve yips softly and darts a brief ring around Kanade's feet before sitting down next to Yui and looking up at her new friend.]

Um, has it been busy today? You seemed kind of... I don't know. Like you'd already rehearsed the words, when I came in. [A soft question, genuine but with a certain something that communicates her uncertainty - is it a little overreaching?]
