TEST DRIVE MEME: JUNE + JULY 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 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!

[ Ah...

Ken feels as if this man has bestowed wisdom upon him. He nods. ] Right.

[ "Don't think" is an order he's always had trouble following, though, but...maybe, maybe this is something even he, who gets caught up in the details, who gets lost in minutiae, can contribute. Taking careful aim, Ken places the shells on the wall, one on either side of the "door" of the castle proper. The result is (mostly) symmetrical and kind of dull.

He did say he was bad at this. But as Ken sits back on his heels to contemplate his work, he seems to think that looks okay. ]

[It does look pretty okay. Art was a lot more than just perfection in line and form-- it was the thought and feeling that was put into every gesture as well. Smiling, Hina found a twig nearby and stuck it through a little leaf to make an impromptu little 'flag.' Said flag was nestled onto one of the towers with surprisingly gentle movements for such big hands.

And Hina rocked back on his heels, grinning at their work.]

Do you think our little friend would like this?

[empireofmymind]

Ahh... [ Ken really couldn't say. But that doesn't sound like an unhappy "ah", at least. He's smiling.

He also climbs to his feet. ] I'll look for more shells.

[ And off he goes in pursuit of them. Ending conversations is even harder for him than starting them, but working on a project with someone does feel pretty good. He'll do his best to find lots of decorations for the sandcastle.

...whoops, that's a Shellder. ] Sorry.
