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!

[This side of Union or anywhere else, save for a small portion of Gigas. And that is likely for the best. Genji may have found his path and made peace with his form but it was a long road filled with many struggles. Others might not have done quite so well or might have adopted a less peaceful outlook.

He's aware of Sophia's approach long before she speaks up. He'd already been skilled at noticing when somebody was near and his enhancements only make his honed senses that much sharper. When she does make herself known, he turns her way.]


Not at all, she is good company. [Reaching out, he pats Gebo on her head.] You are her trainer, then?

[ There's a delighted noise, and a headbutt for the hand that pets her. There's a slight 'thunk' from the action, which doesn't seem to make her dizzy or dissuade her - instead, her head tips and ears spread to the side: someone would like head scritches, please.

That Gebo would be exerting herself to be Eevee-levels of charming is a good sign, however, and there's the faintest sigh of relief that her more recent friend isn't being rude to the stranger.

A very strange stranger, at that. There's the slightest shrug at his question.

Mmm.. I believe 'trainer' is the catch-all term for those who form bonds with Pokémon, but it's never quite sat right with me. She is my friend, as is Elhaz over here.

[If it's head scritches she wants then Genji will certainly oblige, taking special care to get behind her ears. Faintly, he can recall the feeling of fur and warmth beneath his fingers so different from the electronic sensors in his fingertips reporting the count of the thin bristles of hair, of the Leafeon's temperature.

Some time ago, it would have repulsed him but now he is able to find that sense of contentment again.]


Hmm... it is, perhaps, an... unfortunate term. [He nods slightly, pondering the simple change in implication. It does imply a sense of... mastery that no human has the right to over another, Pokemon or otherwise. After a moment's thought he shifts his gaze to Gebo again.] It is better to have a friend, at any rate.
