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 Fuuka continued to stare on, she was mumbling. At first, she wanted to go toward the center of the party to try and force herself to socialize. However, just what can she talk about anyway? At times like these, the poor young woman so did wish she wasn't so shy...

Of course, that was when she heard someone nearby. Now, that she wasn't expecting]

Yes, it quite lovely. I never been to one such as this before, I think it's quite nice. And especially when there are so many people around. [Even if she is being a wallflower right now]

[frozenflame]

[Yukiko smiles, a genuinely radiant expression. It's odd, because she feels like this girl is a shy as she is in some ways. And moreso in others.]

No? Never? You didn't make it to Citadel or Caldera? [Those had been even crazier, and Yukiko had just...left...Caldera after seeing a little bit too many people without enough clothing.]

[windyflower]

[Fuuka bit her lip a little as she shook her head. It was a bit embarrassing to say that she didn't but...]

No, I haven't but I-I hope that I can some day! It just seems like it's such a long way from here and I don’t think it would be wise for me to travel alone either!

[frozenflame]

Well nobody said anything about going alone, silly.

[Yukiko smiles fondly.] You're a trainer right?

[windyflower]

O-Oh! Then maybe I won't! Although, I don't really know who I should go with! Because I must admit, I feel a little awkward for asking.

[She smiled to herself] And especially when I'm so new to being a trainer...

[frozenflame]

Well, that's alright. everyone starts somewhere! I definitely did...

[windyflower]

Oh really? Then if I asked you what did you do when you first started out?

If you don't mind me asking?

[frozenflame]

Well, I mostly had a friend help me out. Chie, and another guy, a Ranger named Goku. He kinda saved my life.

[windyflower]

Oh really? Then you're very lucky, I wish I had that kind of support myself!

[Enough to make her envious]

[frozenflame]

Well the Rangers will help anyone, that's their job. To keep people as safe as possible...

[windyflower]

Still though!

I don't really know any Rangers myself but it just means I need to go and find some! Although, it seems a little weird to ask.

[frozenflame]

I wouldn't worry about that. It's better to ask than to be sorry later.

Anyway...I could always help you out.

[windyflower]

Ah...you sure though?

I mean, I don't want to be rude when you probably have a lot of other things planned out!

[frozenflame]

Oh, don't even worry about it! I love helping new trainers out! Seriously.

[windyflower]

You sure though?

[She looks a little unsure there!] It still seems really rude...

[frozenflame]

I am. All you have to do is tell me your name.

[windyflower]

O-oh right, how rude of me! My name is Fuuka Yamagishi, may I ask what yours is?

[frozenflame]

I'm Yukiko. Yukiko Amagi. It's nice to meet you, Fuuka.
