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!

[Genji gives a light chuckle at that.]

In that case, thank you. I do strive for efficiency if nothing else.

Well, you've got it down pat, I'd say.

[Grinning easily, Hina plunked himself in the sand nearby and started to ring the seawater out of his heavy hair and onto the ground below. It was uncomfortably hot for a man from the North to stay for too long, but easy afternoons like this were nice for a change of pace.]

You don't like the sun that much at all, do you? [He asked after a moment, passing a quick glance over the multiple layers that the man wore in this climate. He could sympathize, to a degree.]

There's a place further down the beach that sells cold drinks, if you wanna get some. Nothing hard-- just cold.

[Genji didn't seem to mind the company at all, remaining motionless besides the faint rustling of the loose edges of his cloak in the breeze coming off the water.]

A cold drink under the hot sun. I'd almost forgotten what it was like to even miss such a thing....

[It's a strange statement and one that almost sounds like it should come with a healthy dose of bitterness but sounds somehow wistful instead.]

On the contrary, I do enjoy the sun. But I think it is perhaps best to keep a low profile for the time being.

[...It was a decidedly odd sentiment, and he canted his head in curiosity before deciding that it probably wasn't his business to intrude.

They had only just met, after all.]

Ah, one of those types. [He sighed, and leaned back.] Can't blame ya, with the news lately. Can't even really travel unless you're completely sure of where you're going anymore-- or you've got a good ride.

Still. It's nice here.
