TEST DRIVE # 06



Whether you're trying to figure out how your character would fare in this setting, trying to get some samples together, or just dipping your toes in the water, you've come to the right place! The Test Drive is here to make your life easy by letting you see what the game is like without actually joining it first. So here is how it works:


1: Post a starter with your character, including whether they are a god or shinki in the subject line.
2: Act like your character is established enough in the setting to allow your thread to go places.
3: Take on any god/shinki of your choosing, as long as they're not already in the game!
4: Comment around to the other people on the meme.
5: Have lots of fun!

To get you started, here are some ideas for thread-starters! Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.



Zombie Zoo


A local zoo is having a very serious problem. Specifically, a large number of its dead animals have suddenly come back to life! These animals have all died sometime in the past, over several decades, but now they're crawling out of their grave sites to join the other other animals in the zoo. It's not that they're causing any trouble, they act exactly as they did in life. It's just... really creepy, honestly.

Arctic Arcade


A popular arcade is under siege by restless spirits. No matter how warm the owners try to keep the gaming areas, it's like an arctic tundra inside. The cold is starting to mess with the gaming systems and very few patrons are willing to deal with subzero temperatures just to play some dumb video games. It's quite likely there's an ayakashi plaguing the store, but it's a matter of finding out where exactly it's hiding.

Baby Boxes


Japan is taking some initiative to adopt a new system for the young people being born into their country! Much like Finland, they are starting a tradition where each new baby has a box of essentials gifted to their parents, which can also serve as a crib while the baby is still small enough to fit inside. You've been enlisted to help put these boxes together! Have fun with all the baby food and diapers.

Calling Card


Every god needs to be promoted, how else will they get followers, right? So that's your job! Go promote your god or, if you're a god, promote yourself! Whether your calling card is literally a card with your phone number or some graffiti sprayed onto every bus in Tokyo, it's all fair game. Just make sure it's going to bring in the customers.

Desperate Doggy


An odd spirit has started following you around. It's the spirit of a dog, who is very intent on getting back to its master. Apparently its master really needs the dog in order to keep living a happy life, that's what you've gathered from all the barking and shoving at least. Whether you decide to help the dog find its master or help it reach the next world is up to you.



If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!

Dog

[She tries to ignore it for a long time, she really does. How is she supposed to deal with a dog that needs to find someone, especially if it's dead? Time's up, there's nothing it can do now, it was probably replaced already.

She scowls at it and tries to push it away, tries to ignore it following her. But there's something in her chest that pangs, making her insistent on not wanting to deal with it. She doesn't need unnecessary emotions about something that she can't do anything about anyway.

That's what she keeps telling herself.

It's only when she ducks into an alley that she crouches down to scratch him behind the ears, staring at him with a face that is not nearly as kind as the gesture.]


I guess dogs are supposed to be the most loyal animals...

Zoo

[Oh yeah. Tsubomi has got this. Totally. She can do this. She is absolutely, one hundred percent able to handle this. Do you see the resolute determination she's got in facing this thing? She's so serious.

Until she sees her first dead animal and a chill runs up her spine and she takes in a breath, trying to keep it together, and screams at the top of her lungs, ducking into the nearest cover to just stop herself from looking at them. Oh god they're awful they're decaying bodies shouldn't be doing that how are they moving they can't possibly be moving and oh god she hates gross things like this.

Someone please deal with the loser in the hoodie in the corner. She's a goddamn mess.]


Wildcard

[W/e you want to do with this mess of a person.]

Dog

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-07-01 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[He notices her duck into the alley- and is a little surprised to see her petting the dog.]

They are called man's best friend.

[Maybe if they bring the dog to its owner it'll be satisfied enough to let go of it's ghostly existence.]

Do you want to help him?
blindfoldcode: (let's begin)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
[She freezes, snatching her hand back before looking up defiantly. She was not playing with it what are you talking about.

Then she frowns and looks back at the dog.]


... It's not like we'll be able to bring him home.

[Not really, right?]
fullcowl: (001)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-07-01 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Kido was definitely playing with the dog.

Though he doesn't have the pics to prove it.]


We can at least bring him back to his master. He'd probably like that.
blindfoldcode: (i won't forget this heat)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
He's dead. What good will that do him?

[Maybe that was a little too blunt. Not like it mattered. The dog wouldn't understand.]

He's just being stubborn.
fullcowl: (007)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-07-01 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[You're dead too, Kido.]

He still has feelings and the desire to be with his master, even if he is dead.

It's not like him being there would disrupt anything.
blindfoldcode: (in defense)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[And look who she's not with. Her family.]

And what happens when he goes back and finds out his master already has another dog? It would be cruel.
fullcowl: (001)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2016-07-01 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[At least she doesn't remember that.]

Then maybe we should check first?
blindfoldcode: (hopeless and taken)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Still. It's a point worth making.]

If his owner likes dogs that much, they'll eventually get a new one no matter what. It's a bad idea.

Zoo

[Psyche's not big on the undead animals either - no matter how many 'cute' actions they might be doing - but there's a job to do and she's not running.

[As such, she feels some unconscious level of irritation mixed with pity when the other girl runs screaming at the sight of them. Not everyone was prepared for the undead, after all, but there was better ways to handle it than cowering in a corner. Psyche approached the girl's cover and said in a low, firm tone]

C'mon. You can't stay here.
blindfoldcode: (not being able to say)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She can't help it. She really can't. She wishes she could. She shakes her head, covering her ears with her hands.]

I don't want to. I hate ghosts. I hate zombies. I'm good. I'll stay here.
noli_oblivisci: (are you an idiot!?)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-07-01 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Psyche feels pity. She really does. However, her eyes have a hard glint as she asks]

So you're just going to stay here while everyone else deals with them? What if something happens and the zombies become hostile and attack someone?
blindfoldcode: (an unknowing normal life)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's okay. We don't need that many people anyway.

[Kido. She wouldn't normally say this but come on it's zombies she hates zombies.]
noli_oblivisci: (hair fiddle/farewell emotions)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-07-01 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Kidokz]

That's not the point. You're a shinki. We're supposed to help others.

And even if there's others, what would you do if someone was attacked in front of you? Would you still hide back here?
blindfoldcode: (isn't enoguh)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's totally different. Nobody's getting attacked right now, it's fine.

It'll be fine.

[Keep telling yourself that, child.]
noli_oblivisci: (hair fiddle/farewell emotions)

[personal profile] noli_oblivisci 2016-07-02 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
What about later?

What if you could've prevented something from happening later if you acted now?
blindfoldcode: (clap your hands)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-02 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
[She wants to say it's not her problem. She's not dumb enough to stick around a zoo full of zombies but... ugh.]

They picked the wrong person for this... [She doesn't want to help. She's no hero...]

Zoo - I am so sorry, Kido

[personal profile] euphoricflare 2016-07-01 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[In contrast, Eri looks like she's having a great time. She's all smiles and enthusiasm as she bounces over to the screaming girl as if this is a perfectly ordinary occurrence for her. Before she died, maybe it was. At any rate, the loser in the hoodie is joined by a second loser in a cat ear hoodie, who starts tugging at her sleeve like a puppy that wants to go outside to play.]

Hey! Hey! There's an elephant. A zombie elephant! How cool is that? Let's go get a closer look! Come on! Don't be scared! You're missing out!
blindfoldcode: (is all that i've ever known)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Closer?! I'm fine right here. I am not going anywhere near it.

[She digs her heels into the ground and tries to cover her ears so she can block out everything else because that will be fine. Zombies are the worst. Zombies and ghosts.]
euphoricflare: (content; good-natured)

[personal profile] euphoricflare 2016-07-01 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Eri reaches for the other girl's wrists and tries to pull her hands away from her ears. The gentle smile she gives her is at odds with the determined look in her eyes.]

But how are you gonna fix the problem? Cowering here isn't gonna do anything! Come on! You were so confident a minute ago!

[Tug, tug, tug.]
blindfoldcode: (if you know what i mean)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
It will work itself out. [No her heels are dug in she's not going anywhere.]

I don't like ghosts or zombies... [B-but Kido you are a ghost......................]
euphoricflare: (puppy eyes; blank look)

[personal profile] euphoricflare 2016-07-01 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Eri's grip tightens a little and she tugs harder. She'll drag her along with her if she has to.]

Oh, stop being such a weenie! They're dead! You're dead! I'm dead! And we've both got amnesia, too! What's the worst that could happen now?

[Eri, your pep talk skills leave something to be desired.]

The sooner we fix this, the sooner we can be outta here!
blindfoldcode: (look close your eyes)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-01 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[That's literally the worst pep talk ever. She might have to literally be dragged.]

Dead or not, I don't want to even look at those things! [They scare her she's allowed to be scared!]
euphoricflare: (determined; impasse)

[personal profile] euphoricflare 2016-07-01 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Ugh, is she going to have to carry her? She is, isn't she. Well, never let it be said that Eri doesn't face challenges head on.]

But you're a shinki! You're supposed to be, I dunno, heroic!

[For a second, Eri stops tugging and it seems like she might give up. But no, instead she attempts to physically pick the other girl up. Considering Eri is a small Japanese-American girl with a slender build and not enough upper body strength to pull this off, this isn't going to end well.]
blindfoldcode: (have only just begun)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2016-07-02 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Especially since Kido pretty much hates being touched. She jerks back instead. She scowls, looking away.]

I can handle it when it's not zombies. I hate zombies...
