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!

Ha, no.

[Elaine smiles, placing the palm of her hand between Arachne's shoulderblades and sweeping downward with a slow, firm motion.]

She's young for her kind. But she's willing to learn.

[Elaine kneads deeply into the muscle tissue just above the rear.]

I'll give you an extra fifteen minutes to make up for it, free of charge.

... What? [The offer caught her off guard. Genuine offers out of kindness were confusing to her when she couldn't tell what the motivation was.

For being tolerant of the little one's mistakes, perhaps, and it was hard to deny the benefits of the massage.

She exhales, slowly, as she turns the thought over in her mind, and as Elaine reaches the troublesome area.]

There isn't a catch?

[and_after_thrall]

Nope.

[She splays her fingers wide apart, spreading a slow, kneading rub that moves up the middle of Arachne's back.]

You were just starting to relax and got interrupted. So that's time I need to make up for, as an apology for the inconvenience. Plus a few bonus minutes since the interruption happened at all.

[She pulls back before choosing a small vial of unscented oil, working a few drops into her hands and rubbing briskly together.]

It's just good customer service, don't worry about it.
