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!

Yamamoto cooed at the pidgey as it was transferred from the Gigan's hands to his. It pecked at his palm a few times before finally calming down. "There we go." He beamed up at Barry. "You just need to talk to them."

And Yamamoto had always been good at calming down Pokemon. "Is it because you're Gigan? That you didn't get to interact with Pokemon that much?"

He assumed that's where the man's super speed came from as well.

"I'm Takeshi Yamamoto," he greeted. "This is Kintoki," he gestured with his head towards his Honedge. "What brings you to Union?"

Hey, whatever works works. Barry's expression still twists a little though, because he's pretty sure he had tried talking but apparently just hadn't been saying the right thing.

Pokemon are weird.

He blinked a bit when Yamamoto pegged him as a Gigan so easily and gave a little laugh.

"Ha. That obvious, huh? Barry Allen." He turned to the Honedge and gave it a nod and a wave. "Actually, I came here looking for some help."

Yamamoto's never been the best at explaining things. But he's only fourteen so he's working on that.

"Well, your clothes do make it kinda obvious." Yamamoto pointed out cheerfully. He looked up, wondering where the pidgey's nest was.

"What kind of help do you need?"
