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's about to refuse again, very politely mind you, when her stomach growls and removes any remaining dignity she had.]

[After looking pretty embarrassed after that she offers up a smile. He was being very kind, honestly.]

I suppose you're right.

[She will take that lunch now so he's not just. Holding it out.]

Thank you.

[Chrono very carefully does not say anything about the rumbling stomach he just heard. That would be rude, and his mother raised him to have more tact than that.

But hey, she took it. Progress! He manages a grin in return.]

You're welcome. [....He'll chance letting his mouth run a little?] It sounds like you're about due, anyway. [His grin goes a little lopsided as he says it; the verbal poke has no force behind it, but it's an icebreaker? Maybe? is this how conversation works, he has no idea]

[umiiro]

[She is very thankful for that.]

[She considers his words and nods with a small smile of her own. Oh lord, small talk. She's not any good at this either.]

Ah... [She nods, somewhat sheepishly.] It has been a very productive day. The city is really starting to come back together, though. Everyone's hard work is paying off.

[coolblueiceman]

There's no shame in that. [Hard work is important, to be sure. He can respect that... hmm. His tone turns considering after a moment.]

It sounds like you've been in this city a long time, then? Sorry if it's a little bit of a jump, I just... I'm kind of new here, and Union is taking a little getting used to, in some ways.
