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!

[No, Kanji can do it and once the urge to flatten this guy's face passed, he was fine. Business came first after all.]

Course we got other things inside. This is just an example of the depth of our skills. There's all sorts of clothes for you and your Pokémon available.

[Just go inside, Yosuke.]

You got some specific in mind? Formal? Casual? Something more regional-based? Or something unique? We can do custom orders, no problem.

i'm so sorry about being slow, things have just sucked

[punchesyu]

[Maybe it was safe to go in. This guy was just trying to make a sale, so he shrugs.]

Well, I do like to keep up with the trends...so something that's swag for Union would be perfect.

[He'll go in and take a look, it wouldn't hurt.]

It's fine. I've been slightly busy too so no rush.

[sewdamncute]

[Kanji steps deftly out of the way, moving quickly and gracefully for someone his size. Besides, how else is Yosuke supposed to enter the shop?]

Most of our wears are a cross between the fashion of Union and Sanctuary right now. And we can do custom designs for things in Caldera's style. Or anything you want, really.

We got some t-shirts over here you might like. [He points to a rack of shirts that are black, but have Pokémon silhouettes screen-printed on the back.] If you had a specific one in mind, I can whip one up in an hour.

[punchesyu]

[He walks to the back, inspecting the shirts. A lot of them look really cool, and he sorts through a few.]

Hey, this actually isn't too bad. Check it, I'd look totally baller in a shirt like this... [He spots a nice print shirt, with multiple Pidgeot silhouettes in red on it.] You seriously make this stuff? You don't look like the kinda guy I'd expect to be into this.

[sewdamncute]

[Kanji doesn't actually take offense to that. What's the point? He's heard worse from the people in Sanctuary on a daily basis before the move.]

Yeah, my family's been doin' stuff like this for ages. I like it. Although, I'm not too sure what you expected someone to look like who is into it.

[punchesyu]

Well, let's just say I thought you were gunna beat the crap out of me while we were outside. You look like the kinda guy that you'd meet up with in a back alley at the wrong time. But, since this is a family business, I guess I can see it.

[He's got a little cash on him, so he figures he'll buy the shirt.]
