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!

The idea was to get them-

[-to leave on their own, but the sentence isn't finished before the Flash goes off and Apollo has to shield his eyes. It confuses him for a moment, his Combusken backing off as well. She doesn't want to run, but she'll do whatever he wants...maybe.

When he looks back, the bullies are rubbing their eyes.]


I-I think we should get out of here!
ramblingly: (smol and angry)

Yeah-- no kidding!

[Roughly grabbing the stranger on the wrist, Pidge took off as quickly as her skinny legs could take her. One thing she had learned over many, many years of dealing with bullies both child and adult was that there really was no way to make someone who thought they were bigger than you back down without a little force.

And, when all bets were off, run.]


Rover, Scout-- Scramble! Meet you at the rendevous point. And the both of you,[she said, pointedly,] are coming with me while they're distracted!

[His arm is yanked, and whether he likes it or not, he's being half dragged along. Once he gets his footing, he starts to run along with her, not looking back other than to check to make sure his pokémon was with him.]

Where are you taking us?! [He shouts, surprisingly loud.]
ramblingly: (pew pew)

[personal profile] ramblingly 2016-06-20 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Keep it down-- do you want them chasing us?

[She hissed, but didn't even bother looking back to see if the bullies were following.]

There's a pier up ahead. I told Rover and Scout that we should meet there if we ever got separated for some reason. It's got a great view, and looks like a sweet place to go fishing.

Sorry! [He apologizes, realizing that maybe his Chords of Steel workout might be a little too effective, given that this is a bad time and place for it.

Still running as fast as his legs will carry him, he bolts down the beach to the pier. Once there, he finally stops next to the wooden structure, panting and letting his hands fall to his knees.]


Did we lose them...? I don't think I could take another step. [He's not in...the best shape, despite appearances.]
ramblingly: (/sigh)

[personal profile] ramblingly 2016-06-21 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Uh....yeah. I think so.

[Though she was more of a brain than an athlete, she could still handle herself in a pinch. That said, she was still panting by the time they reached the pier. Wiping sweat from her brow, she peered out over the expanse of the beach for any sign of the aggressors.]

I don't see 'em out there. Guess the Flash really did blind them like I thought it would.
