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!

Sorry, I couldn't resist. He's also Fighting/Ice. Prompt 5

[coldadapted]

[She was going to need some mighty large wings to take in a mighty large man. Standing just a hair's breadth under a solid 8', Hinahoho looked down at the boisterous woman with something akin to bemusement.

Then?

He burst out laughing.]

You know what? You're pretty good, too! Why don't we just wait on Valhalla and get ourselves some drinks instead?

[How old was he? 20-something? The world may never know-- except, maybe, the little Swinub he scooped out of the snow to carry around on his bare, broad shoulders.]

[troll_hunter]

[That is not how they're supposed to react they're supposed to be thankful and joyous.

But on the other hand: Drinks.]

I DO like drinks...

[coldadapted]

[Drinks, the Universal Lubricant of Tongues that crossed the boundaries of nature and cluture. Hinahoho found his grin growing even broader at her growing interest.]

That's right. Drinks. There's that place called Caldera-- it's a little hot for my taste, but they've got some fantastic liquor.

You in?

[troll_hunter]

You're going to Caldera? Now?

Just for drinks?

[coldadapted]

You wouldn't go to Caldera just for drinks?

[troll_hunter]

Well I mean. I can get drinks anywhere.

Hell I've got drinks here.

[A flask is produced from some inner pocket.]

[coldadapted]

Eh. Maybe it comes from being a late bloomer, then.

[Chinscratch. He had no reason to be ashamed that it had taken him until his 20s to come into his own as a man. It was very late by many standards, but not out of the ordinary either.

Regardless, he loved a woman who was prepared.]

Well, we can stoke a fire and enjoy ourselves right here if you're willing to share some of that.
