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!

[Hibiki lets out a thoughtful hum, tapping a finger against his chin.]

I could probably talk to it, try to get it to back off with the rain? Though if that doesn't work... [He's ready to fight if he has to, at least. Kiji too, if the way the Grass-type keeps bouncing on its feet is any indication.]

[Yui is passive enough that the idea of discussion over combat is appealing, even after the last twenty minutes have made her want to go home and call it a day before three o'clock. She nods at the suggestion, visibly still a little off-center.] I'd like to try solving this peacefully first, yes. Can I ask you to...?

[Bleh, having to ask for help with something like this galls her. But if that'll keep her dry for the rest of the afternoon, so be it.]

I'll see what I can do. [Hibiki flashes Yui a smile before he jogs over to the Castform, kneeling down to talk with the mischievous little weather 'mon.

It takes a little bit, but after a while, the rain that was so persistent in following Yui dissipates and the Castform floats off, going on its merry way. Hibiki hops up, before he turns to grin at Yui and gives a thumbs-up.]

That should take care of things for now. With how warm it is today, you'll dry off in no time, I'm sure.
