Test Drive Meme (June + July)


TEST DRIVE MEME: JUNE + JULY EDITION



Welcome to [community profile] 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!

Sure, doing your own thing. That's fine. But why you gotta do it from some dinky little apartment in the middle of nowhere? Don't tell me you couldn't afford a high rise condo in the rich part of town and have champagne every day!

Because that would have meant relying on my grandfather. I didn't want his help.

[The startup money he used originally came from his grandfather, but Lucas knows when to make a compromise.]

If I left him but still took favors from him, then I'd have accomplished nothing.

So what, is he a major asshole then?

[personal profile] tacticalnemesis 2015-06-08 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lucas winces at that. He's not used to such blunt speech.]

He's...

His morals end with his family. He loves us, but he goes about the wrong ways of showing it.
righthandmage: (This wasn't in the job description!)

How wrong are we talking about here? Would he ruin someone's life if they crossed you?

[personal profile] tacticalnemesis 2015-06-09 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
That...depends on how badly they crossed me. But he's dealt in Enhanced before.

Enhanced. Scary.

[Sounds like maybe the right decision to cut off ties.]

...So not even one swanky high rise party?

[personal profile] tacticalnemesis 2015-06-10 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I've never enjoyed high-class social events. They're always too dull.

I was thinking more of the "loud music and pushing people into swimming pools" kind of party. Just with fancy digs.
