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!

[As such, Fuuka continued to blink a little. Uh-oh, did she do something she wasn't suppose to?]

Oh, I'm sorry, was I suppose to? I'm afraid that I haven't been pay much attention to the news lately!

[That and there were probably more important things on your mind when you're in the hospital all the time. Still, she raised an eyebrow]

Then...would it be ill-mannered if I didn't recognize you?

[celebrity_commentator]

Oh, no, don't worry about it! I'm being narcis...narciss...stuck up! I can't just go around assuming people know me, that's rude.

[After some serious nodding on this, she brightens up again.]

I'm Rise! Wait, I already said that. Anyway, what brings you here, Fuuka?

[windyflower]

If you say so, I don't want to seem rude to you. And especially when you seem so certain that you did...

[But maybe it was for the better? If people knew you all the time, it would make things a little distracting??

Either way...!]

Ah, well, I was hoping to meet some new people here! As a way to introduce myself to them but it seems like it's a lot more difficult than I thought! [Said the wallflower]

[celebrity_commentator]

[Rise nods vigorously.]

It's very hard! I had to have training, you know!

But it turns out you just kind of throw yourself out there with a smile and it works great, even when you're embarrassing yourself. It's what I'm doing right now!

[Now that wasn't what Fuuka was expecting. So much so, her eyes widen a little as she wanted to find the correct words to say back]

O-Oh, then you must have a lot of confidence, Rise! I know you said it was difficult but I don't think I can do anything quite like that!
