April Testrun

[bravenewmods]

This is an open testrun meme. Posts here may be used in lieu of a sample entry for any applications. For your convenience, we've provided a few prompts, but feel free to make your own!

1) Spring is in the air, and with it, a sudden influx of flying and bug-type Pokémon. Insert bad jokes here.

2) What is with this wacky weather anyway? One end of town, it's blistering hot, the other, it's snowing? And is that a rain cloud following that chap there? Hmm.

3) Mating season Two raging Rhyhorns are butting heads outside of the city, and their mood seems to be washing over the other Pokémon around. Things are going to get nasty if someone doesn't break this up!

4) One of the Bunnelby in the breeding center has been hiding eggs! Oh no! Those poor babies, won't someone please think of the children? Also some of them might be chocolate for some strange reason, we aren't quite sure why.

5) The grass-types are happy that it's spring! A little too happy! We hope you don't have allergies :(

6) Wildcard! Make up your own!

Emil | NieR

[stonesight]

[ It sure is a lovely Spring day in the city. Easily told by the warm sun on his face as he followed a few paces behind a Roggenrola. The little rock pokemon isn't making it easy for Emil to keep up as it constantly spins and weaves between legs and under carts getting through places only it can fit. At least if it's thoughtful enough that if it gets too far ahead it stops to hop in place. The sound of it's hard stone feet against the road is so much different from anyone else's footsteps it's easy for the boy to pick it out among all the other sounds. ]

Reginald, please, can you stay in the open?
Roo-oll [ and it spins and takes off again. ]

[ If you hadn't noticed, he's wearing a blindfold but so far he's done a very good job of not bumping into anyone as he jogs after his pokemon. ]

[gunned_and_winged]

[Moving balls are just irresistible to cats. This particular purrloin has been eyeing Reginald for a few moments before it springs, trying to tackle it to the ground]

[ Aqua wasn't quite sure how she had gotten roped into helping find eggs in the breeding center, but she didn't mind. It was nice to be of help. Her Dratini was dedicated to the cause as well. He had found a good vantage point by wrapping part of his body around her waist and jolting the rest of himself up. With keen eyes, he keeps shifting his head to get a better view. Aqua, on the other hand, takes a more practical approach. To the nearest person; ]

Excuse me, have you seen any Pokemon eggs around. They've been hidden by a Bunnelby.

[ wildcard ]
[ Aqua had just arrived at the Union, but she tried not to look as lost as she felt. It was easy to get lost in a crowd. Dratini made an effort to keep as close to her feet as he could; not realizing the rest of his body could cause someone to trip. Aqua is trying her best to prevent that; whenever someone gets close to the tail she'll speak up. ]

Be sure to watch for the tail. It'd be bad if you tripped. [ though... she might not make it in time if someone isn't watching themselves at all. ]

[one of the harried workers at the breeding center with the most intense shock of red hair imaginable turns to face her when she addresses him.

His arms are full of eggs. He's a little short, just because he's obviously stressed]

Yeah, yeah. I'm aware. If you find any, bring them back to the incubation rooms right away. Some of these eggs may die if they get too cold.

[to that end, there's a small "nest" of eggs that Lea has made nearby, being guarded by the warmth of his darumaka and charmeleon. Said darumaka is shoving a chocolate egg in his face and making a huge mess] Ugh... damn rabbits.

[hopefinder]

[ That did sound pretty bad. She wasn't going to let any of them die. Her Dratini squeaks as he notices an egg in the near distance. ]

I won't let that happen. [as she hurries to get the egg. ] Do you think it would be possible to turn up the temperature of the Center? Just a tad so the eggs won't get freeze so quickly. [ Not enough to make the other pokemon uncomfortable but... this was a important. ]

[ Pinky the Cleffa is currently strolling around the street, having been bored of her usual perch ontop of her human partners head. She's not too far from Usagi -- she can clearly see that unique style of hers from anywhere within the area.

Pinky's currently looking for something entertaining, when her tiny little eyes catch the Dratini that's sticking close to his partner. They wouldn't have been as interesting to look at if she hadn't noticed that there was a stall coming straight for the Dratini's tail.

So, what does she do? Take after one of her human's traits and hops forward to pick up the tail so that it doesn't get smashed in the process all the while just barely evading getting run over herself. ]

Fa! (Safe!)

Re: wildcard!

[hopefinder]

[ Spero the Dratini almost jumped when his tail was suddenly grabbed. He turns quickly to see the Cleffa almost get run over by the cart. ]

Breeu? ( Did you save my tail? ) [ The noise that the two Pokemon are making is what catches Aqua's attention. She wasn't from the Union, so this was the first time that she had encountered a Cleffa upfront. ]

A pink Pokemon? Whose is it?

/SLAMS SELF INTO THIS WITH A WILD WILD WILDCARD

[meguriau]

[ Roxas was out talking a small walk in Union today. Accompanying him was his Sylveon, Poliwag, and Sandile. He's gotten better at making sure the two baby Pokemon don't run off on their own but it's still a work in progress.

For example Naveen the Poliwag thought it would be a great idea to run ahead. And where did the Poliwag run to? Right into the Dratini's tail. He trips and lands on its belly... face... front. ]

[hopefinder]

[ oh! That looked like it hurt. Spero the Dratini flails as he attempts to check whether or not the Poliwag is okay. Meanwhile, Aqua will take action and pick the Poliwag up and cradle it. ]

That looked like it hurt. Are you okay? [ Whose Poliwag was this anyways? While Aqua is doing that, Spero will attempt to find the owner. aka he'll be frantically looking around with wide eyes.]

Sonic || Sonic the Hedgehog comicverse.

[quickster]

2~
Woo! [ Weird weather? No kidding. Though he couldn't complain as it made for a nice mix between running and skidding along in the snow. Anyone wandering through the city is non-doubtedly going to encounter a speedy blue blur racing his way through the city, vaulting over any obstacle in his way. ]


4~
An egg hunt, huh? [ Guess Bunnelby felt in the mood for some hide and seek! That was no problem, Sonic was more than willing to oblige a game or two. ] No prob. I'll find these things with time to spare! [ He's going to be crouching under things, hopping on rooftops, anything to find said eggs! ]

[sows]

[ What is this person/pokemon/thing doing looking under at everywhere. Parsee spots him, her curiosity piqued. ]

Did you lose something?

[quickster]

Huh? [ Sonic perks up and gives the girl a wave. ] Nah, I didn't lose anything. I was just helpin' out with lookin' for a bunch of eggs that some bunny dudes hid. [ He motions behind him with his head where the Bunnelby were presumably hanging out. ] You wanna lend a hand too?

Absol (OC) | Pokemon

[unreined]

[1]
[A Swablu has taken some bizarre interest in nesting upon Absol's head, and has been following her around all day.]

I told you, get lost already! [She swings her naginata as a warning, but it just chirps, swoops around the blade's edge, and comes to rest upon her head once more.] Can someone just... get rid of this thing?!

[3]
[Absol really knows only one way to break up a fight... more fighting. In this case, she picks up some nearby rocks and throws them at one of the Rhyhorns until it decides to charge her. Unfortunately, the other one decides to join the fray too. This could get ugly if someone doesn't join her for this impromptu Double Battle...]

[Wild]
[Absol has managed to earn a decent amount of money from that Rhyhorn job, so she's treating herself at one of the food bars in Union. The cook has promised that he has the spiciest noodle broth in all of Union, so she's sitting at the bar with some degree of anticipation.]

NUMBER 1! \o\

[inthenameofthemoon]

I think pokemon just like sitting on heads.

[ The voice comes from behind, attached to a girl with her hair in a spaghetti and meatballs hairstyle with a tiny little Cleffa sitting right between the buns. She had noticed Absol's constant attempt at shoo'ing the Swablu away and has just decided to step in to see if she can't at least calm the Absol girl down. ]

See? Mine loves sitting on my head. Sometimes, I forget that she's even there I'm so used to it. Isn't that right, Pinky?

Fa! (Yep!)

Re: NUMBER 1! \o\

[unreined]

[Peeeeeeeeer.]

[Then she grabs hold of Usagi's ponytails and weighs them in her hands, suspiciously.] A Sylveon...?

Wild

[threemoms]

[ There's a small girl sitting a little ways down the food bar, openly peering at Absol. Very openly.

Well, Absol looks like an Absol, okay? And Hotaru is curious. Since she's an Absol. You see how it works?

Unfortunately, Hotaru has absolutely zero social ability, so that's about as much of a conversation starter as you're gonna get. ]

/hi5 absoli

[unreined]

[Unfortunately, this Absol also has zero social ability but in a very different way.

Her hunter instincts pick up on Hotaru's staring and she shoots an aggressive look from down the bar.]

What?

[sows]

[Seeing the sight, Parsee can't help but giggle at how she completely missed the pokémon with her weapon. Yes, she is laughing at you.]

Kanone Hilbert | Spiral

[gunned_and_winged]

[2]
[Well, this kind of snow is something you don't see very often. Having his own personal snow cloud is even more unusual.

But Kanone doesn't see any problem with this. He's just gotten himself a nice knitted hat (as well as one for his purrloin, and one for... his honedge???) and is currently making snowballs and juggling them, occasionally throwing them at random targets. Don't worry, though. Some of those might come really close to hitting you, but they won't, for some reason]

[Or any prompt you want!]

[at_too_low]

[What one of them comes very close to hitting is this nerd, out on a stroll with his Pokemon (Togepi on ground level and Sigilyph hovering a little way behind (mostly to keep watch)). It's the first one to notice the snowball coming, and raises its wings threateningly-- while Atsuro himself dodges the snowball (his reaction is a little too late and he would've been hit if your balls actually hit). And before he can even say anything his curiosity takes over and he inspects the wall next to him where the snowball hit, and turns to you]

Hey! We're sure having some strange weather today, huh? It was pretty warm when I left the house, but looks like it's snowing here.

[gunned_and_winged]

[This one grins cheerfully at you as if he didn't almost hit you with a snowball, totally oblivious of Sigilyph's menacing stance]

I think the gods are sending us a day of fun! This thing's been following me since this morning.

Cordelia | Fire Emblem: Awakening | Flying/Fighting/Psychic | OTA

[aerial_ace]

no.5

[tracedarte]

Uuugh, I hate this!

[Luke is wandering around town shaking out his hair every so often. The pollen and dust in the air is getting stuck in his red locks and he could smell it and feel it and it was gross! Shaking his hair was just making it worse though, spreading it in the air around him...]

Stupid Flower Pokemon... A...a achoo!



[He wipes his nose on the back of his glove and huffs out a breath. At least his asthma wasn't as bad as when he was a kid. That would be the worst. He kicks a nearby bench in anger at the whole situation before seeing a fancy boutique nearby and deciding to take cover in there. His Eevee Mieu runs along behind him as always, Veeing worriedly. Trying to play it off as if nothing was wrong, he ducked into an aisle and... ran right into someone familiar.]

Huh? Cordelia?

[aerial_ace]

[Cordelia hadn't been back in town for more than a few hours before trouble, it would seem, ran directly into her. Catching the figure out of the corner of her eye, she manages to readjust enough to avoid a full-on collision.

Prepared to divert an apology from the person that nearly knocked into her, she notices who it is, blinks a few times, then smiles.]

You should really keep a better eye on where you're going, cousin.

[albertstyle]

[Asch has failed to understood the concept of "real" work, at least not the labor intensive kind. When he was young, he and his twin brother Luke would sometimes be under father's watchful eye in his office. The courtroom and business center were two very different places so the impression of 'going to work' was one perhaps the twins never truly understood till now.

They had their fencing practice for sport but that's exactly what it was -- for sport. Standing for hours keeping the peace isn't the same as doing something you love.

Working as a Sword has proven much different then he originally imagined..] Hump- nothing's going on.. Why do I have to stand? [Hypocritically bitching about standing after telling Luke not to sit.]

...Oh no.. [In the distance he can see a large hunk of red-hair flowing, first assuming it's was Luke but then.. Ick, relatives.] Cordelia, what do you want? I'm working.

[To many damn red-heads in this city, that's what's up.]
