TEST DRIVE # 08



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.



Junky Jokes

There is a small spirit girl who is determined to hear some funny jokes before she passes on to the next life. Your job is to come up with some horribly bad, wonderfully funny jokes to make her laugh. Be warned, though, she's got a very serious face that's hard to crack.

Knights Knives

The swords of the knights at a local museum's exhibit have gone missing. They are praying for them to be returned because these swords are worth so much and such a great part of history. Hopefully you'll be able to find them, because otherwise those prayers are going to someone else.

Ludicrous Lightning

There's been a streak of heat lightning going on. It's so intense that sometimes the lightning will light up the night sky as if it were day and there have been numerous power outages in the area. Go help out the people who are without power and make sure that everyone can still live as normally as possible!

More Money

Who doesn't need more money? A little convenience store needs help since all of their employees have fallen ill at the same time. They're offering double wages to anyone who will work for them. Unfortunately, the store is a hot spot for misfortune and ghouls of various kinds. Have fun!

Neon Nourishment

Surprise! A very American man is shoving neon bright candy and cakes at everyone who will stop for even a moment, and he easily notices all Far Shore residents as well. Which means every time you pass him, you'll be getting more and more of this hideously colored food. Enjoy~

Ruri sweatdrops slightly at the exit of the staffer and then moves in front of the PC, starting to look it over.

"That was definitely an effective way of dealing with him, let's see if I can get it before they think they are haunted here."

With that she starts typing quickly, humming to herself as all of the monitors start showing different video feeds, looking from one to the other to see when the blade was last seen, then look over the various ways they were.

"I think I see when it went out, now to pull back and see the surrounding cameras and.... Hrm. Is there one on the street? Oh good."

With a frown she tabs out of the security program and into a browser, shrugging as she moves further outside, "I have a car and license tag... Ok."

With that she turns to her assistant, "We can either track down the tag online, or go and see if the police know anything. Also, do we reclaim these things personally, or just make it so normal people can find them?"

[nobodyschemes]

You're terrorizing the villagers, so to speak, and that's terrible for business.

[beastenderblood]

[Children.]

Well you're like a bread that's done baking, always loafing around.

[blindfoldcode]

Will you stop with the bad puns?!

[At this rate they're gonna make the kid laugh from their sheer ineptitude.]

[beastenderblood]

They're not that bad.

[blindfoldcode]

I don't want to know what you think bad actually is.

[beastenderblood]

I mean, it makes sense. Right? So they can't be that bad.

Knights

[beastenderblood]

I think blood does what it wants.

Jokes

[beastenderblood]

What's a robot?

[jooeyecandy]

Hey!

[He was going to use it as a way to keep the thing from slipping away like slime or something. C'mon, it had to been a good plan, or at least he thought it was a good plan.]

You gonna stare at it?

[But fine, he'll stay back. In fact, he'll hop up on the counter and sit there cross-legged like some kind of delinquent cat watching his human try to catch a mouse. Heck, he'll even refrain from giggling to much if it doesn't work.]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Meanwhile, the candy she gave him goes into his mouth and instead of chocolate, Aymeric tastes something smoky and bitter, not knowing it was a bitter coffee flavored tootsie roll. His words were not much use but the expression on his face said it all: it was very gross.

Nonetheless, he still swallowed it.]

It is...an interesting taste.

[Interesting as in very horrible.]

Kainé | Nier | Shinki

[shadepossessed]

[ooc: yo, same person as that Emil from Nier. Sorry I fell off the face of the earth last time!]

[Knights Knives]

Really? They just want to stick it behind some glass again?

[Kainé scoffs, clearly not impressed with this prayer at all. Everyone involved seemed like an idiot. It was a waste of perfectly good weapons, and their security must not be up to snuff if they were stolen in the first place.]

Whatever. It's better than some asshole swinging it at some poor kids, or something. Let's just get this shit over with.

[Ludicrous Lightning]

[To say that Kainé wasn't expecting to spend her day this way would be an understatement. Not only has she had to deal with the weather making her already-revealing "outfit" even more suggestive -- and the mortals she's come into contact with openly gaping at her for it -- but this isn't even work. She's supposed to be a weapon, isn't she? Why has she been going around delivering candles and matches, fixing up leaks, picking up stray branches, and sitting with panicking dogs?]

This is ridiculous...

[heatupnever]

[Hold up.] I thought we were talking like the culprit was an ayakashi?

[If it really was a god or shinki, that would be a pain in the ass and so not her jurisdiction. (...Not that she actually pays attention to that, most days. It's the principle of the thing.)]

If it was an ayakashi, they wouldn't be noticed either, you know?

[Aghhh, pain in the ass!] Who'd even want those things?

[heatupnever]

[BUT SHE HAS TO LOOK OUT FOR HER FIGURE]

It's because you keep taking them. [For a given definition of "take"...]

Why don't you shove them back next time? You can't investigate with that garbage. What are you investigating, anyway?

[bear_necessities]

[Searching for something is always easier with help. So Senri nods and follows.

As they enter the museum he does find his attention wandering a little. Between the crowds and unusual artifacts and the oddest combination of scents he's ever encountered, the situation is a little distracting. He's stopped in front of a display with an old suit of armor. Poke.


Poke.


It's a good thing they're far shore residents, or he'd have been thrown out by now.]

its fine. I looked up the image anyway XD

[shortnsweet]

Sure Mako-chan! [ And cue Nagisa faking a missed high five only to have Makoto's hand land on his forehead. His arms go limp for a moment, as though he was totally caught off guard by it, but he quickly starts flailing around, attempting to reach Makoto and failing miserably. ]

[thirdrichest]

No, I don't know that. We've got people telling us to respect our god and to submit to their call in battle and help them answer prayers, but there's no rule book for the rest of the time.

[All said while walking to the restaurant, stepping in ahead of Tsuzuki.]

How am I supposed to know when you're joking, anyway. I can't feel your emotions. [Her attentin flicks quickly to the staff member who's just come back from seating someone.] Hey. Table for two. [Sure, she's snapping at him, but he won't even remember that once he seats them.]

yooo glad someone's getting some use out of those icons

[shadepossessed]

[You know? Kainé appreciates allusions to violence far more than awful jokes, and she scoffs out a chuckle.]

Yeah, I think I could get behind that.

[Vella doesn't seem particularly muscled, but she's clearly scrappy. That's good. Kainé can work with scrappy.]

Your god won't mind splitting the glory -- [She says it with as much sarcasm as she can manage.] -- on this one, will they? I mean, I don't really give a shit, but you know how they can be.

[moonfang]

[you gotta draw a line in the sand. You gotta ask yourself, "WHAT AM I WILLING TO PUT UP WITH TODAY?!"

Not fucking this.

Zangetsu bolts out the door, skidding on the flooring as he goes. He does take a moment to turn around and pull a juvenile raspberry blowing face at Kensei through the window. Then, a burst of sonido and he's outta there

to some other convenience store across town]

Hahahaha! Always amazed anyone knows this idiot let alone VK! <3

[moonlitknight]

--Zero.

[ He cuts in, immediately disliking the title on sight. Why? He doesn't know. Nor does he have time to examine his reaction when those next words cut through his thoughts. ]

No one's checked it? [ He looks past him, as if the generator will magically appear, when it doesn't Zero focuses his attention back on him - you have his attention. ]

Where is it.

[ A statement, more than a question. ]

oh man THANKS FOR MAKING THEM

[beastenderblood]

[She shrugs noncommittally.]

As long as we find the swords, it probably doesn't matter either way. Right?

[Gods schmods, she just wants to help and fight. Not necessarily in that order.]

[grants_wishes]

Maybe spirits would like spirit jokes better than robot ones?

[Does Alluka know any spirit jokes? Um.... This is one that takes a moment of very serious thought, but soon enough;]

Why did the spirit go to the party alone? [A beat, then,] Because it had no body to go with!

[Oh.... oh no. That was bad. That was really bad.]

o/

[shadepossessed]

[She thinks that for the boss-dudes, it probably matters a lot. But screw them, this tiny teen is far better.]

Find them and give them back. That part seems to be important.

Kainé, by the way. And I'm pretty sure that where I was from, swords were used. This place is really...strange.

[how do modern world]

[whereyoulead]

[That's just a recipe for disaster with an ego like yours.

Ken gasps with overdramatic, fake hurt.]

You'd hit a guy with amnesia? That's cold.

[Yeah, he's not exactly...troubled by the state of his memories. It is what it is, and there's not much he can do to change it.]

[whereyoulead]

[Know your audience, Omi.]

Heard it before, I take it. Well, she probably hasn't. Maybe. I don't know.

[Hmm. He taps his chin thoughtfully as they keep walking.]

Maybe she just doesn't like jokes.
