zubatopia | Testrun Meme

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. A Wild Pokémon appears! But not just any Pokémon; this one is different. Bigger. Stronger. Angrier. More bizarre? This can be anything from an Aggron to a Lickilicky but consider it fully evolved, big, and not something you can handle alone.

2. Spring cleaning! Who left all these flowers around everywhere? In the aftermath of what happened in April, the town needs to be thoroughly cleared of vegetation and debris. It will require a group effort. Your Bugs might be a little distracted though.

3. The fresh water in Union is getting low! It seems like Bidoof have dammed off the streams in the forest that provide Union with its fresh water. What do you do? Murder the Bidoof? Dig a new waterway right next to Union? Capitalize on the shortage and sell bottled water produced by your Water types?

4. You're in the depths of the Old City exploring and you just dropped your only source of light into a bottomless abyss. Whoops. Hopefully, you're not alone, right? ...If you are alone, perhaps it would be a good idea to call for a rescue.

5. A Grimer and a Trubbish are fighting in the middle of Union! It's so disgusting that you can't even get close. Do you rush in to break it up? Push someone else to do it? Take bets on who will win? Run away and gossip with your friends about the deplorable state of Union nowdays and how much better Gigas probably is?

6. Wildcard! Make up your own!

[ Robin managed to keep himself upright if only thanks to his amazing balance. He waited until the tremors completely stopped before he moved again, ignoring any damage he received to check on his companion. Thankfully the Magnitude didn't seem to have been higher than a seven or else the damage dealt would have been worst off. ]

Ugh. Hey, are you all right?

[She'd fallen flat on her rear, landing in a somewhat undignified heap on the floor. Lightly rubbing at her head.]

I am. My pride, not so much.

Good thing I didn't really need that, huh?

[ He grins and offers a hand to help her up ]

Hey, I could say the same thing. Thanks for the help.

[She accepted the hand, allowing him to pull her back to her feet. Parts of her were still slightly sore, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle.]

Anytime.

I'm Zatanna, by the way. And this... [She glanced back, where her Kadabra was just kind of chilling.] ...is Gio.

Nice you meet you. I'm Robin and this [ he looks over to the Murkrow that perches himself on his shoulder ] is Nightwing. The Zubat over there is Bats.

[ Bats is just going to perch upside down by a tree and watch from a distance. He's not much for making friends. ]

[Her eyes first traveled towards little Nightwing. How precious. She dared to reach up, giving him a soft pat on the head.]

[Then her eyes traveled over to Bats, and she grinned.]

...social, isn't he?

[ Nightwing allowed it because hey the attention isn't so bad.

Meanwhile Robin chuckled at the comment she made ]

Very. Sometimes it's impossible to get him to shut up.

[ That might have earned him a glare from the bat from afar but he didn't care. ]

I can tell. He seems like he'd be the life of any party.

Meanwhile, Gio back here just kind of sits quietly. I'm pretty sure he's judging me, but he never really says much unless I talk first.

[Gio opened her eyes for a brief moment, staring at her before letting out the quietest of scoffs and closing them once more. As if in shallow meditation.]

[ Robin looks over at Gio before a grin ]

Sounds like Gio and Bats could be the best of friends.

[ Bats hears and turns itself around from where he's perched upside down. Uh no he's not getting along with a Psychic Pokemon kthnks. ]

[Gio proceeded to visibly ignore the nonverbal insult. Because he was clearly above petty squabbling.]

...I think you're right.

Maybe we should set them up on a playdate sometime.

Good idea! Hey Bats, you like that idea, right?

[ No response. Robin only playfully shrugs ]

Eh, he'll warm up to the idea.

[ No he won't. ]

[How adorable.]

So, Robin...speaking of playdates... [She paused just long enough to let that segue sink in.] ...who was your friend back there?

You two have an argument or something?

[ Robin rolled his eyes at the remark. Not that it could be seen behind his mask. ]

Yooou could say that. My friend was angry and didn't want to go back from where he came from.

[Her eyes glanced backward for a moment. At something far beyond Gio.]

...yeah, I kind of know the feeling...

[Her tone was whimsical, as if she was saying it more to herself than to him. A moment later, though, the charm was back. As was her full attention on him.]

Guess he never heard about what it means to overstay one's welcome.

[ Robin suppresses asking. It probably wasn't in his place to ask. He doesn't like it when people ask about certain things so he respects that.

Besides her charm was much better than that whimsical tone she had as he smirks. ]

Guess not. I just hope it did go back from where it came and didn't just go to find some new place to throw a tantrum.

And what are the chances of that actually happening?

[Whatever. It was their problem now. Unless it came back and made it their problem again. Which...was actually possible.]

Maybe we should get moving.

[ He shrugs. It really wasn't there problem anymore so there wasn't much to worry about. But what she suggested was a good idea. ]

Yeah, let's move.

In that case...going my way?

[She didn't have much of a destination in mind, actually, but she had been traveling in one direction before they'd encountered one another. And she saw no reason not to continue traveling in that direction. It was a good direction. Open.]
