TEST DRIVE MEME: APRIL + MAY 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 A naughty Castform is following people around and causing rain wherever they walk. Talk about spring showers!

#2 The Flower Grove is well-known for its spring blossoms. Your character has gone to visit, only to discover Gloom have moved in to enjoy the pleasant fragrance! And now the pleasant fragrance...isn't.

#3 This baby Pidgey has fallen out of its nest!!! What do you do? Do you get help? It's squawking and flapping like nobody's business. Might be hard to hang onto without somebody else around to spot you...

#4 Glacier is excited for the Big Spring Thaw! They will tell this to anyone who comes to see them at Citadel, and will even lead expeditions up to the Obsidian Flats to show off the lovely warm weather......while it's still snowing.

#5 Union is still repairing itself after Kyurem's attack. Construction workers are needed at this site. Humans and Pokémon are both welcome, but the supervisor is a Machoke. Communication could get tricky.

#6 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!

[It's definitely a new thing, all these Pokemon running around the streets. Pokemon have never been a particularly rare sight to him but they definitely aren't given the run of the town in Gigas, so it's a sight that's still taking some getting used to.

Not to say it's a problem, or that he's particularly focused on that when the next part of his lunch arrives. He's about to dig in when he feels the bump on his leg and looks down to see a... Fraxure, isn't it, staring up at him.]

Um. [He blinks and looks up around the restaurant once before settling back on the Pokemon and watching its motions.] ... What? You're hungry? You want this?

[soulofmagus]

[ There's a decisive nod, before the Fraxure gestures to his open mouth again.

You WERE the one saying people should try the Calderan dish, right? So sharing's only fair! ]

[gone_streaking]

[That answers that. Barry lifts his head to look around again, not sure what the rules are for feeding a Pokemon from the table around here, or if there even are any. Nobody else in the building seems to think anything's odd about the Fraxure's presence, so....]

Uh... okay. Sure.

[Reaching over, he grabs another empty plate from his table and splits the dish in half and leans over, holding it out to the dragon.]

Here.

[soulofmagus]

[ This human is generous indeed, a generosity that matches his appetite! You will never see so delighted a face as this dragon's, all but kicking his feet in joy as the plate is offered to him.

And all but downed in a single gulp as the contents of the plate are tipped between waiting jaws. (Some manners just can't be taught, apparently.) ]
