Testrun Meme - March & April

TESTRUN MEME

1) With spring fast approaching, Pokémon contests have become more prevalent, and stages have been cropping up all over Union. An open mic competition is being held in the park, and a trio of Jigglypuffs can be found taking the stage. Needless to say, they probably won't be a fan favorite...

2) Refuge has opened its gates to the people of Union, Caldera and Citadel, in the most hospitable way they feel possible: A party. Some have come to explore the expansive underground city, but mostly, word has spread about how Refuge's brews are on point. They don't seem to discriminate on age, either.

3) The great tree in Citadel is blooming a myriad of colors. The people are celebrating with a great festival among the various tribes that call Citadel and the surrounding area its home. This involves flower arranging, lots of meat, and, of course, a tournament to prove one's meddle in battle.

4) The city of Caldera is starting a major production project and they need workers. The forges are constantly going day and night and the pay's good, but it's hot, hard work that'll leave you tired and achy to say the least.

5) Wildcard! Come up with a prompt!

[Castle smirks at her as she sits there looking so smug with her earplugs. Kate is always so prepared.]

No, smartypants. Just like I don't travel with with earplugs on me. Seriously, who does that?

[numberonecastlefan]

[Well, it is her job to be prepared. Kate pets the Purrloin in her lap absently, enjoying the rumbling feel of her friend's purr.]

Someone who's smart enough to know that a singing competition will always draw out Jigglypuffs. [She pulls out a second pair and puts it in his hand.] I brought you your own set, but you were too into the performances.

[Teach you to give her the "wait a minute" finger.]

[writeswrongs]

[Castle rolls his eyes as he takes the earplugs, though it's a fond eye-roll. There's a reason she's his better half.]

It's always great to watch the Pokemon perform, even if some of them don't really have talent.

[Like that Charmander whose talent was roasting hot dogs with his tail. Seriously?]

[numberonecastlefan]

[She's kinda smarter than him, and everyone knows it. But, it's good that he's acknowledging it too. She bumps her shoulder into his and goes back to looking up at the stage.]

Oh, I enjoy watching them as well. They give it their all, but that doesn't mean I want to take a nap in the middle of the day.

[The Eeveelutions and their acrobatic routine was really cute.]

[writeswrongs]

[Smarter than him? Really? Castle can think of many cases Kate would still be spinning her wheels on if he hadn't helped her think outside the box on them. Smartness is relative.]

I actually taking naps in the middle of the day, just not in the middle of a park with a thousand other people.

[numberonecastlefan]

[Alright, so they have their own strengths. Her intelligence just happens to be more practical than his "outside-the-box" thinking. Hence the earplugs.]

Well, that's generally want you want to avoid, yes. It could have been a total stranger that you started drooling on, Castle.

[writeswrongs]

[And that's why they're perfect for each other.]

I only drool on people I love.

[numberonecastlefan]

[That they are. That they are.]

I suppose I should take some comfort in that, but I don't see you drooling on Alexis or Martha. Am I just special?

[Her Purrloin lets out a mew and stretches a bit, digging her claws into Castle's thigh as a warning.]

[writeswrongs]

I think you should know by now that you're very special.

[Then the Purrloin sticks her claws in him and Castle lets out a yelp.]

Hey! What the hell?!
