Welcome to Gildenhirst, friends! It's a TEST DRIVE MEME!!
Premise, Location and more information on the Main Menu.
Our test drive meme is open to everyone, so please stop by for a little fun and see if you’d enjoy playing with us. The TDM primarily takes place in Gildenhirst, the main hub city for Bravely Borrows. The surrounding area of Caldisla is free game though! Please explore the setting as you desire.
LET'S PLAY DRESS UP
A big part of Bravely Borrows is getting your very own job class! While all characters start the game as a Freelancer and receive a random job asterisk later on, for the sake of testing you may choose from the following job classes to mess around with:
Red Mage ★ Monk ★ Knight ★ Performer ★ Ranger ★ and Freelancer of course If you desire these threads to be canon, an asterisk was simply loaned to them. Please return it at your earliest convenience.
NEED A QUEST?
If you need some direction on how to begin, why not gaze upon some sample quests? Go on a journey. Fuck around and find out. They are completely optional– write whatever prompts you want!
Eggs Aplenty
Oh no. Oh dear. There has been a horrible series of mistakes surrounding ChantiLilly’s egg delivery. For one thing, it was delivered to the Central Market on the Ground Floor! For another thing, there are far too many eggs here. Dozens upon dozens upon dozens of eggs. The bakery’s Patissiere would be grateful if you could help bring these eggs up to his bakery in Rooftop Gardens. You’ll get some gold and some fresh eggs for your troubles.
This Bunny’s Buggin Me
A farmer from Norende is going batty over the swarm of bunnies that have been getting into his fields. Help a fella out, won’t ya? They are swarming en masse and ruining the spring start ups! Don’t expect to be able to herd them out without a fight though– these rabbies really pack a punch! They’re also carnivorous so…. Watch out?
A Rock and a Hard Place
An avid collector is searching for some new specimens. They’ve heard there are some expansive cave systems in the Norende Heights that just might be the perfect spot to collect some geodes. The only problem is that they’re an eensy teensy bit full of kobolds. You’ll be compensated for your troubles if you’d go collect some rocks, and every actual geode will get an extra reward. Please don’t fall off the cliffs…! The paths are narrow and harrowing at times. Good luck!
Have an excellent time, friends!
Thanks for stopping by ♥
Armies and soldiers are sort of a bygone thing in Alpha'a world, so she can only really speculate, but even she can make some light-hearted banter over silly hypotheticals.
"Maybe they're busy enjoying bread and tarts," maybe they'll make it to the bakery and it will be packed full of soldiers! Probably not, though. "It seems peaceful enough here, they've probably earned a nice break."
Cute--the joke got a smile. "It is that." Peaceful, she meant. "Any place where the big problem of the day is too many eggs probably hasn't seen a battalion in a long time, whether it has enough tarts for them or not."
As fun as it is to speculate on the silly idea of the town being peaceful enough to simply pamper their forces with delicious treats, there's a more reasonable answer right there. "I suppose all those egg tarts will have to go to regular civilians, then." Are they definitely going to be tarts? Who can say. "Maybe they'll offer up a few for the couriers."
"There are worse things to be paid in than tarts." Kel grinned a little. "Though I think I'd have a hard time passing them off as coin at the inn, it might be worth it. I haven't had proper sweets in an age."
"Ahh, true." She'd meant that they might be a tip on top of their pay, but would payment in sweets really be the worst thing? No, probably not. Definitely not. "If they've got more things I've never tried, I might have to splurge a little even if it means extra trips up here for rent."
"And you'll get a powerful pair of legs thrown in free of charge." There was another little grin--it was nice to just chat about frivolous things after so long. "Are there any sweets you've set particular hopes on?"
But, "Hmm...!" Are there any sweets she'd want in particular? She hums a little as she thinks, but nothing specific really comes to mind. "Maybe if they've got some sort of specialty sweets, I'd want to try those first." That's something to get your hopes up for!
"I would like to try the local specialty sooner or later, whatever it is," Kel agrees. Wasn't that always a highlight of traveling somewhere new? "Or fruit tarts, maybe, with whatever's in season right now. I haven't spent much time in the market yet, but with all the bustle around here, I don't think we have to worry about eggs being the only bounty."
"Ohh, trying out local fruits sounds like a great idea, too!" In a tart or otherwise - it doesn't feel too terribly different climate-wise from what she's used to at the moment, but even then there's certain to be plenty of crops and fruits that she's never encountered before here! "Ah, there are a bunch of places around town I should check out still... Maybe after all this egg business is taken care of, first."
Gotta keep the priorities in order, after all! Not like time here feels particularly limited, either.
In all honesty Kel is still just not sure what season it's supposed to be. The golden trees might make it look like autumn, but? That doesn't seem right?? So many mysteries to solve.
What a cheerful person this is, though. "It's true, traipsing around town with an armful of eggs is bound to lose its charm." Only the lightest teasing tone in her voice. "Business must come first if only for that one reason."
