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!

Feathers literally everywhere. Barry busies himself for a moment or two getting rid of those, off his clothes, out of his hair, even picks a bit of down or two out of his teeth.

When he notices the way the Pidgey immediately calms as soon as Minami has it, he slows to a stop watching the interaction between the two. She isn't wrong about being good with Pokemon, but there's something else?

"Hm? Oh. Yeah, just lucky, I guess. Hey." He stops for a second, thinking before pointing (carefully) at the Pidgey. "Sorry if this is a dumb question but are you talking with that Pokemon?"

With the Pokemon calmed down, Minami mentally busies herself figuring out the best way to get it back into the nest. It's something that should be done before the mother arrives, but climbing up there with the bird in hand isn't the best idea...

She blinks as he points at the Pidgey, and gives a small laugh. She hasn't really shown much reaction to his attire, either, for that matter. "That's not a dumb question at all. I guess I do have... something of an affinity for that. I'm usually partial to and best with Water types, personally, but..." She looks back down at the bird. "All Pokemon are important, and if I can help one, then..."
