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!

Wah! [Oh no, what did he bump into this time!? He turns around quickly, though he relaxes seeing that it's only a little girl.

He gives Nanako an apologetic look.] Oh, I'm sorry! Are you alright?

[heavenlychild]

Owww...

[ Still sitting on the ground, Nanako began to look up. ]

It's okay, I'm fi--

[ That was

What was that.

A giant blue Teddiursa that talks?! With eyes as big as dinner plates, the young girl stares up at him, not sure what to think. Should she be afraid? Enchanted? She looks conflicted.

Although it would seem that she wouldn't get much of an opportunity to ask what he was. Teddie might hear something behind him, like the sound of metal on metal, and a low, raspy hiss. Something looms over him, unhappy with this whole situation. ]

Hanzo?

[ You knocked down his human.

That is a mistake you will not make again. ]

[bearlydressed]

[Well, she didn't look injured, but the way she stared at him was odd. Has she not seen a bear before?

Teddie snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of metal and the hiss. He slowly turned, fear riddling his face, but it quickly turned into pure terror as he saw what hovered over him.

Almost immediately, Teddie would scream in such a manner that it matched the look on his face. Without a second thought, he'd start moving the heck away from the not-so-friendly shiny bits of the Scyther.] GRIZZLY!
