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 encouraged to use either first person or third person 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.

THIS CYCLE'S PROMPTS
#1 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.

#2 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.

#3 The Summer Solstice festival has begun in Citadel. The tree is in full bloom, with flowers of every color dot its branches. This week-long celebration brings together the various tribes that call Citadel its home through music, dancing and, of course, fighting. There is a tournament set to begin, boasting some of the strongest Valkyries that Citadel has ever known among the combatants.

#4 The heat has really gotten to the people of Union, and as a result many have moved south for a weekend get-away in the Archipelago and the larger Island. The sand is warm and the water is too, but doesn't the beach seem a bit crowded for a once seemingly deserted area?

#5 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!

[...Oh snap! His eyes brighten with recognition- and then a little apprehension.]

Excellen! I could say the same to you. How are you?

[platinumlucifer]

I'm great, now that you're here. I was just looking for somebody to do a favor for me? You don't mind, right?

[expertonshutters]

...

[His eyebrow flies northward.]

What kind of favor?

[platinumlucifer]

[ That's a good boy. She pulls a small bottle out of her bag, holding it up to him. ]

Can you put this on my back? I can't reach and I burn real easy.

[ But does he take the bait? ]

[expertonshutters]

[Well, honestly? Normally that wouldn't really bother him. Unfortunately now, things broke when he touched them, People broke. He didn't want to think would could happen if he were to do something as simple as put sunscreen on someone's back.

He tries to play it off. Mostly because he figured her intentions were anything but good.]

Sorry, but I know you're up to something. Do you really think I'm that easy, Excellen?

[platinumlucifer]

Whaaat? Hayato you wound me! I would never say that! [ "Out loud." ] Besides, you don't wanna see this silky skin get all burnt and gross, do you? [ She holds out an arm to him for emphasis. Look at this gorgeous arm, Hayato. LOOK AT IT. ] Help a girl out, wontcha?
