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!

[He hears that frustrated sigh and he's not sure if that's directed at him or not. He- it was never his intention to make Hongo mad. He's actually kind of concerned he pissed him off. He decides to tread carefully.]

We could. It's a nice area to take a walk and once we leave the beach it'll probably be pretty quiet.

[He grabs his things, throws on a haori. He'll whistle for his Pokemon and then send everyone back home with the warp band.]

[Oblivious to his misconception, Takeshi nods. The guilty feeling lingers as he watches him send his pokemon home. Pathetic. He's humoring you. He doesn't want you here. Monster. It's your fault.]

[He tugs his towel back off his shoulders and uses the driest part of it to pick up his book. That would have to do for now.]

...Are you sure you want to come? I don't mind if you'd rather stay.

[expertonshutters]

[He offers him a slight grin.]

What did I say? You're not ruining my plans. I wanted us to come out here so the both of us could relax. If taking a walk is what you want to do, then I'll come with you so long as you want my company.

[cyborghands]

[He smiles back, trying to assure himself he meant it even if the voices insisted otherwise.]

I do. In that case, let's go.

[Walking adventures commence.]
