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!

Are you worried?

[She doesn't look worried, but it's worth checking!]

[blackflamed]

Well, he'll probably turn up sooner or later. He always does!

[Hopefully without having stolen anything this time.]

[imprudens]

Oh good! Then I'm sure he'll be fine. Some of mine do the same thing.

[The rolly thing is now rolling around them. At least he's having fun?]

So have you been to Citadel before?

[blackflamed]

You can't get too mad about it, huh?

[Oh, right, more conversation!]

Have you?

[imprudens]

Not really, no. I mean, I wander off a lot, too.

[Not the least bit apologetic or sheepish about it either.]

And I have, actually! But never for the solstice.

[blackflamed]

Sometimes it's nice when you don't know where you're going.

[She's just getting used to it, but it's pretty great so far.]

Oh, you mean it's not always like this? [Who knew!] What happens to all the leaves when summer's over, do you know?

[imprudens]

Right? How else does exploring happen?

[He gestures all around.]

Well, there's less flowers usually! And the leaves all change color in fall. I think they probably fall off in winter, but I haven't been around to check yet.

[blackflamed]

I don't know. Sometimes there's little dots on the map you follow instead.

[Huh. Well. That makes sense.]

We could come back in winter and find out, right?

[imprudens]

[She answered his rethorical question! That's kind of cute.]

We could! Maybe they have another festival at the winter solstice.

[blackflamed]

That would be nice. Oh, I wonder if it snows, too.

[imprudens]

Oh, that would be pretty. I hope so!
