Test Drive Meme (June + July)


TEST DRIVE MEME: JUNE + JULY EDITION



Welcome to [community profile] 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 Summer means it's time for a vacation! You and your Pokémon have hit the beach only to discover that not only has everyone else had the exact same idea, there's a bullying Raichu and Snubbull wandering around stepping on people's sandcastles! Will you stand up to them or let the squabble pass you by?

#2 A Noctowl has delivered you a message inviting you to enroll in Sanctuary's "Spoinkwarts School of Magecraft". How will you respond? If you say yes, you'd better head there for your supplies....it's doubtful you're able to buy cauldrons and Swellow-feather quills in Union.

#3 Perhaps it's time to beat the heat by heading to Refuge. But you've ventured there as evening is falling, and that can only mean one things: Zubats. Zubats everywhere. All at once. Suddenly. There is no escape, there is no release. There is only Zubat, and this cave.

#4 Aggron from the northern mountains have discovered Glacier music and are trying it out for themselves! Unfortunately, the only parts they've mastered are the grunting, yelling, and whipping their heads (and tails) around violently. Enjoy the concert!

#5 The Verdant Forest is full of pollen this time of year! And it looks like this Petilil that won't stop following you is allergic to....itself. It's also giving off pollen. Everywhere. Seriously, even if you don't have allergies, you're in trouble.

#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!

Well, that sucks.

[ Kanade is standing in the mouth of this alleyway, her hip cocked to one side. She's tapping an identical letter against her shoulder. ] What if you buy a silver cauldron when they told us pewter? You really gotta learn to plan for the future.
kittyneet: (sly kitty)

[personal profile] kittyneet 2016-06-05 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Eh? I just did.

[Because fuck Spoinkwarts-- mage craft was for nerds, and was way more work than it was worth. He cast a wry, bitter grin at the girl before returning his attention to the flames.]

Who needs a cauldron when you've got oden and sake? Dumbasses need to get a life.

[Says the jerk who's only friend was an eevee]

That's a pretty narrow view....

Come on. You don't want this to spread. [ And she heads over to his fire, ignoring any possible protestations, and lifts a booted foot to try and stomp it out.

It's okay! She's got heavy shoes on! She's got this. ]
kittyneet: (corner)

[personal profile] kittyneet 2016-06-06 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
[No protestations; just a step back and a flat look as the girl decided to stomp out his petty and pointless act of revenge.

When you're just one of six identical faces, there isn't much left to you in this world.]


Wasn't even big enough to do anything, [he mumbled, glancing down at the bustling, brightly lit street at the end of the alley. The Eevee chittered in his ear-- it's close to dinner time, and wasn't Mama making Rei Shabu for dinner?

Ichimatsu hummed softly, non-committing. Mama would make what she wanted, wouldn't she?]
usedperishsong: (i will fight back against the wind...)

[personal profile] usedperishsong 2016-06-06 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kanade shakes her head: not good enough. ] No imagination, seriously! Jeez, what are they teaching the youth of today...?

[ There. That fire's out. She stomps on it for good measure, knocks her shoe against her other ankle to dislodge the soot, then turns. ] C'mon. Let's go.
kittyneet: (sweatdrop)

[personal profile] kittyneet 2016-06-06 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Go? Where?

[You're a strange person and not a pokemon-- give him a good reason to care.

The Eevee, on the other hand, was curious about this girl's offer and jumped out of his hood to go follow her. She looked back at her trainer expectantly, as if to ask if he was coming.]


Okay, okay.

[He sighed, pulled his hood up over his head and reluctantly shuffled toward the girl.

There was nothing to lose here, right?]
usedperishsong: (an illusion? a dream?)

[personal profile] usedperishsong 2016-06-06 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kanade doesn't seem to have noticed her new companion's listlessness - that, or maybe she just doesn't care. Either way, they could probably power a city with the voltage behind her next grin. ] Mage school, huh?

[ She waves her own letter around a little. ] It's like we've stepped into a fairytale or somethin'. Next thing you know one of us will be the Chosen One.

[ She considers this. ] Better be you. I got my own stuff goin' on, haha...
kittyneet: (fml)

[personal profile] kittyneet 2016-06-06 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Please. They wouldn't want me.

[Period. He's a Unionite through and through-- and he seriously might burn the place down if they tried to make him do anything he didn't already want to do.]
usedperishsong: (don't be late to ride.)

[personal profile] usedperishsong 2016-06-07 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
You got a letter, didn't you?

[ That may or may not be sticking to the bottom of her boot right now. Or well. What's left of the letter may be. ] Don't tell me you don't trust that owl!
kittyneet: (drunk af)

[personal profile] kittyneet 2016-06-07 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
The owl's not the one in question here, [He commented, not even going to retort about the letter.] It's the people. I don't wanna become some Magi's dinner.
usedperishsong: (burns out:)

[personal profile] usedperishsong 2016-06-07 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Kanade laughs. ] You're a gloomy guy.

[ And that's funny. For some reason. ]
