TEST DRIVE MEME: AUGUST + SEPTEMBER 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 With a sudden interest in the inner workings of Sanctuary, the mage city has decided to host a cultural festival. Taking place over an entire week, events include exciting magic duels, extravagant tea parties, and a "mouth watering" feast of delicacies from the middle and upper class. These include such things as a curious-looking sausage, an interesting-smelling dish made with Stunfisk, and a number of boiled foods! Delicious!

#2 Wingull and Pelipper have taken up residency in the port! Loud, obnoxious and somewhat destructive, they have been creating issues for Union fishermen, creating a shortage of seafood in the city. The Council have reached out to a few, ahem, adventurous types willing to chase them off. It's a messy job, but someone has to do it! Don't wear anything you want to wear again!

#3 In a show of good will, Caldera invites the citizens of Refuge to experience a self-proclaimed "true summer." Extending the invitation to the people of Union and Citadel, the food flows freely--as does the Refuge-brewed alcohol. Things are bound to get rowdy, but what is a good party without a bit of exercise and entertainment?

#4 The herds in Citadel are growing! Miltank, Tauros and Bouffalant herd sizes are at an all time high this year in part due to the assistance from other civilizations and the unusually warm spring. Farmers and herders around the area are looking for workers, and will pay in milk, meat and hides. This work is not for the faint of heart, however, and may prove to be a bit crappy difficult.

#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!

[ His eyes wander towards the sword in his belt, clearly interested in seeing what that sword looked like outside of its sheath, before smirking. ]

I guess, but I still think it'd be pretty cool! By the way, that's a nice sword, mister.

[smitesevil]

I suppose it is. Magic wouldn't be magic if it weren't impressive.

[ Sanger has a soft spot for children, and he obviously notices Shirou's eyes on his blade. ]

It's the finest sword. You might even call it my soul. I would show it off a bit, but drawing my blade in the middle of a festival square might cause something of a panic.

[ "Hey kid do you want to duck into this dark alley so I can show you my sword?" - said some guy who's now on a list. ]

[foamsword]

I can tell.

[ Shirou knows his stuff, even if it's still in its sheath. He has good eyes. ]

But that's fine! I wouldn't want to cause a panic. That wouldn't be any good.

[smitesevil]

It would be quite bad indeed. In the first place, swords are best when they don't have to be drawn.

[ There's a slight twinkle in his eye when he says his next line. ]

But if they are drawn, then what they need to do is cut everything into twain with one strike. If we're unlucky, maybe you'll get to see it one day. You only need to call for it.
