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 ♥
It would certainly be safe to say that he might have been following Sienna's tail a little before he caught sight of Blue. Because in this entirely new region where he has not seen a Pokemon that looks even vaguely familiar how was there a Charizard hanging around, that made no sense--
WAIT. THE EGGS
"Huh?" Red turned in a full circle like he was trying to find what both the girls were staring at. Oh, was his Pikachu back from scoping out the bakery that was supposed to be getting the eggs... (Red's Pikachu has decided he's on his own quest, and that quest is "look adorable and beg for free pastries.") Like all those eggs that Blue just dropp- OH NO THEY WERE STARING AT HIM
"Oh. I didn't think I'd see anyone I knew here so I forgot to say hi." Suddenly he looked like he was lost, but really he was just thinking about if he should set down his eggs or drop them too. "...Hi."
Red had approximately two seconds to decide his own plan. The eggs would have been a lot safer if he had set them aside, but. Well. Oops. Blue was already flinging herself straight at him at top speeds. Was it a tackle? A h..ug...? Maybe both!
DOWN THEY GO. SORRY, EGGS,
"You jerk!" There was a rumble from Sienna as she nodded along beside them. Yeah, you jerk! How dare you... be... here???? Wait what was the problem.
Two seconds was... Absolutely not enough time. He saw Blue flying towards him, and so he tossed about five pallets of eggs aside to hold his arms out for... Was this going to be a hug or was he about to die. Was it both? Was he catching her? Well he was bracing for death.
"Me?" JERK? HIM!? NOT SIENNA TOO?? "What'd I do!?" Red looked genuinely shocked, since he hadn't even been in town long enough to-- Oh, right, the dozens of future baked goods he just ruined by throwing a ton of eggs on the ground.
"You don't pick up the phone!" Blue exclaimed, her voice going a touch higher over the audacity that this could have been about the eggs. "And you never call me back! It takes traveling to a whole different--" ...Town? Country? ??World?? "--place for you to even say hi! You're a jerk!!"
Well! As far as he was aware, it was the only thing he'd done wrong since he showed up!!
He stayed quiet for a moment to try and process what he was hearing... Blue. Blue please you must have known he still had a first generation Pokegear and he lived on top of a snowy mountain. Even when he remembered to call (rare, to be fair) he never had a signal. He didn't know how to make the texts go.
Instead of saying anything he just tried to bring her in for a hug. "I..." SHOULD BUY A NEW PHONE?? "Would have said hi if we weren't somewhere else."
She knew! She knew. She also knew her Pokegear didn't help matters any, but she tried! You had to go get supplies at some point young man! But none of that was even the real point.
It was at least really easy to pull her into the hug, her protests going softer as they got muffled by his shirt. "You barely said hi this time," was the current complaint, even as she wrapped her arms around him.
See this was why they should just go back to using carrier Pidgeys again. They didn't have to go through... Tubes or... Internet pipes or whatever... Uh...
"Sorry." Yes, in all his completely untelegraphed shock at seeing someone he knew, Red had totally forgotten how long it had been since he'd talked to Blue. So now he understood why he was being called a jerk, at least. He could reflect on that later, right now he had someone VERY IMPORTANT TO SPEAK TO
"I missed you too." He did, in fact, have about a million questions he wanted to ask, but he stood in silence for a bit just so he could give this moment some space. "Have you been here for very long? 'Cause I just got here."
In stark contrast to his steady baseline, Blue was very obviously running through the entire gauntlet of emotions in rapid succession. The apology made her shoulders hitch with a shuddering breath, fingers curling tight in his shirt. When she pulled back to look at him he was telling her he missed her, so he got to see the whole shift from tense sadness to something bittersweet to the flustered in between she was settling on. Blinking back a few tears, Blue gave a quick shake of her head.
"No, not long. Just a few days." Sniffle. She was almost done, promise. "Were you on your way somewhere too?"
Red's face remained pretty still while Blue was going through many emotions very quickly. He couldn't really stop himself from frowning because in some way this was absolutely his fault, but he still pulled the brim of his hat down a little to try hiding it while Blue was trying to calm down.
"Yeah." Does he have... A tissue... He was checking his pockets. "It's kind of funny. I was going back home. What about you?"
