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 ♥
[bark baRk BARK] No matter which universe a Kaito stepped through the door from, it seemed that each one of their instincts' was to sprint at top speeds towards the town.
This Kaito was no different. He'd stepped through anticipating that he'd be somewhere Else, but this was far off the mark. This wasn't a sprawling metropolis. Neither was it a forest he was even familiar with. The overwhelming feeling of Panic that was surging through his limbs overrode any initial wonder of how much life he was surrounded by-- it could be appreciated later. For now, he needed to run. His hands were too empty and his heart was screaming.
... He was also probably yelling as he sprinted through the trees. Sorry.
Kai was a little quieter once he'd sprinted into town, but not by much. The rest of his day was spent darting to and fro down the main street, checking each shop and alley he could find and bothering passerby with questions. Here he was now, skidding to a stop in front of someone (you!) with a firey look in his eyes.
"Yo. Hey. Hold up? Have you seen a guy and a girl around my height?" Dramatic hand waggle at his head. "She's got short bleached hair and he has shorter black hair. They're both really cute and probably freaking out?" You know, like he was!
[A Quest of Your Choosing] Ha ha yeah we sure were having some earlier stresses. Things are similarly Fine Enough now, enough so that Kaito was taking it upon himself to also check out the quest boards. It was a little surprising to see that people actually used it...? Huh!
He was tapping his chin in deep thought as he glanced between the different notices. Once he noticed that someone else had come up to check out the offerings, he abruptly turned to them to jab a thumb at the board.
"You wanna team up for somethin'?"
quest is cancelled everyone go home (jk it'll be rocks eventually)
The answer is flat and immediate. The blue-haired girl standing next to him leans in a little closer to the board, giving the listings a scrutinizing gaze.
"Unless... how physically strong are you?"
Her eyes don't move from the quest postings, but seeing as how there is no one else around, she does in fact seem to be addressing you, Kaito.
She might have been addressing him but he'd already moved over to look at the other side of the board. If she was going to give him a very frank 'No' straight up, then he was just going to shrug and move on! It was fine!
So it was going to take. A while. For Kai to realize that perhaps she had meant him.
"You're the one that said no," Kaito pointed out in turn with a click of his tongue. He rolled his eyes though, planting his hands on his hips as he peered at the options. If she wanted to be fickle, that was fine. He needed the cash.
"I'm decent, I guess. You lookin' at strong stuff?"
Kai stared at her for a moment. Probably this was a scenario that he should say no in, right. This did not seem like it was going to be a very give-and-take sort of scenario. Say no, Kai.
Hayate's wandering around town to get accumulated to his new surroundings when he's called out. He looks over at Kaito and tilts his head.
"Sup?"
A girl and a boy? Hayate's puts a hand to his chin to think if he's run across anyone that fit either of the descriptions. If they were freaking out he'd remember for sure.
"Can't say I have. They your friends?"
Friends... For a second, Hayate wonders if Mirage and Freyja's ended up in this strange world as well. If they are, he'd have heard about them by now so probably not...
There was a steady, anxious tap of Kai's foot as the fellow in front of him thought things over. He was this close to just turning tail and booking it again, but no. No. Chill out for a second, let the guy cook.
The answer was expected, if disappointing.
Trying not to look too visibly droopy about it, Kai awkwardly raked his fingers through his hair. "Mm. Yeah. They're my partners. We were supposed to arrive together."

So it was going to take. A while. For Kai to realize that perhaps she had meant him.
"... Oh, were you still talking to me?"
no subject
“So?” She’s waiting for an answer.
no subject
"I'm decent, I guess. You lookin' at strong stuff?"
no subject
“This job to retrieve geodes intrigues me, but they talk of… monsters.” She says the word with an almost audible squint and a frown. How preposterous.
“Therefore, I require an assistant.” Read: she requires a meat shield. She straightens back up and gives Kai a once over. “You will do.”
no subject
“... Sure, rocks are cool.”
