Test Drive Meme (February + March)
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.
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!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!

Those should be good, we'll have to gather some driftwood first, and some rope - Now there's the idea.
[He searches his bag, and pulls out a pencil]
Okay... this would make the darkest mark, but if you can follow the tracing. Basically, Gyrados are big, and fast when they got going, but a creature that size needs time to accelerate, and room to turn.
[He makes a crude cross-hatch pattern on the boat]
My idea is to lure it to these narrower channels, where we would slam down a grate made from the driftwood. This will slow it down, and the narrow width will make it difficult for it to turn, leaving it vulnerable, you with me?

So you're saying to strike while it's trapped? Isn't that.....somewhat dishonorable to the beast?
[...why yes, he really did care about the Gyarados' pride as a warrior.]

I suppose so... It would be not good if you struck it from above on the island.
[Sinbad folds his arms across his chest, tilting his head as he tries to think]
If you jumped in while it's there, you'd still be fighting it, but it wouldn't be able to cut and run easily - though you can't hold your breathe forever.
