Testrun meme (November & December)

TESTRUN MEME

1) Harvest time! The Agricultural Tower needs a hand harvesting the crops. How is that working out for you and your Pokemon?

2) It's starting to get a bit chilly out! Snow is now blanketing the ground and as an unfortunate side effect Ice Types are now on a rampage through Union. They seem to be having a lot of fun, but it's inconveniencing everyone else, what do you do?

3) Soulfasting is upon us, and festivals abound. Residents have taken to one of the larger parks in Union to celebrate. There are delicious sweets, performances on stage and other spectacles. Some people from the audience are even being pulled up on stage! How are you celebrating?

4) With Autumn coming to a close, many trees within the Verdant Forest have shed their leaves into enormous piles. Unfortunately, this extends beyond the forest and into Union itself, and there is now a big leaf problem. You get to clean it up, have fun!

5) Wildcard! Come up with a prompt!

[Though Junko doesn't really mind festivals and parties, it's definitely the food that's got her current attention. Whether it's as a lanky human or little skunk, she's been prowling through the booths and swiping about as much as she can get away with-- whether it's surreptitiously taking more than is socially acceptable from free samples or 'borrowing' stuff that's not. It only takes her a short while to amass an impressive bundle of treats and skitter away to sit down and enjoy them-- though she's not entirely motivated by her own greed. She's got a little Shinx cub lying on his back in her lap, too, who seems more than happy to be fed the stolen goods.]

[Unfortunately good times can't last forever, and a later day brings grey, murky clouds and freezing rain. Excellent. A shiny Stunky and a Shinx have taken shelter wherever they can find-- at this point, tucked into a vacant storefront doorway, just a pair of sodden, unhappy, brightly-colored fluffs. The cub yowls, glaring up at the sky, and the skunk chirrups back, complaining together.]

It's not even a real storm!

I can't believe it's even raining like this in winter.

[ There was snow on the ground not even two days ago, but whatever controls the weather -- a half-forgotten god, some say -- decided on rain today. Freezing rain.

Thankfully, he's good at being prepared. Tim left the dorms with an umbrella tucked under his arm after giving the grey skies a look, and it's paying off now. His pockets are loaded with snacks from the market, rain patters on the umbrella, and his boots (nice, polished, thick-soled and water-repellent) kick it along the cobblestone street, splashing through shallow puddles.

It's not a nice day to be out and about, that's for sure. Chilly, wet, and he's eager to get back to the safety and warmth of his room. Maybe stoke the fire, sit back in his plush recliner--

His eyes catch on two smudges of bright color in the grey. Pokemon, away from the Habitat, and Tim doesn't even have to think about it for a moment before he's trotting over in concern, umbrella held aloft. ]

Hey, there. Got caught?

eyyy buddyyy

[The Shinx looks up at the visitor with curious enthusiasm--]

Yeah!

[--but the Stunky's already up on her paws, bristling as much as she can, with her fluffy fur all damp and drooping. Ugh, this weather is intolerable. Her tail's less of an impressive flag and more of a sad, sodden rope at this point but she tries nonetheless, feet planted and glaring up at him, her reply a grumbling growl.]

Shut up, Arashi.

[birdstalker]

[ By his undeterred expression, it seems he's not following their half of the conversation. As if blissfully ignorant, as one of the un-Enlightened.

Not true, of course. But Tim's perfected his ability to give nothing away, not even when in the company of strangers. It's a small city, and even Pokemon talk. ]

Man, you're both soaked.

[ Peering up at the raining heavens, he looks back down at them. He considers the options for just half a beat before he shuffles in underneath the eaves with them, setting his umbrella on its side next to his feet and shrugging off his woolen coat. ]

C'mon, let's get you dried a little, okay? It's a long walk over to the Habitat -- no way either of you are getting there without catching a cold like this.
