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~

[ This girl clearly doesn't know who she just walked by. Then again, no one knows who Eris is (or rather, who this Eris is). Luckily Eris can be a reasonable person at times, and she'll just make a mental note to plan that she'll be known and feared in this world, too. ]

So long as I actually get to see the view, be my guest.

[ She's welcome to sit on the ground next to her. No way is she magic'ing up a lawn chair for some stranger. ]

[ Alright fine, she'll play nice. So stepping aside now, deciding to just stand beside said lawn chair because there's no way you're getting this princess to sit on the ground gosh. ]

And I wouldn't further suppose that you're actually going to get out there and assist those poor people?

[ The answer is one big fat N O P E. ] Help them? [ There's a short chuckle, as if the concept is as ridiculous as a flying pig. ] It's the little things like this that I live for.

[ A flash, a bang, and Eris takes a sip of her martini. ] I give that a.... [ Shrug. ] four out of ten.

[ Flying pigs. If she had her memories, she'd be able to tell you a thing or two about flying pigs. But as it stands, all that she has in mind is what's before her.

So crossing her arms and staring off. ]

I'd say a five for showmanship.

[ head tilting slightly at the sight of a rather visible arc of lightning that struck a utility pole.]

That would warrant a six, at least.

[ Well well, she's joining in. ] The god of thunder needs to step up his game, no?

[ She swirls her glass once, letting the olive stir by momentum at the bottom. And as she does so, she speaks casually. ] Maybe I should write a letter of complaint: the skies should roar, not purr.

It depends, of course.

[ It's amazing how casual she's being about this storm... but then again, it's only to get a proper assessment of the situation. And whoever she's currently hanging out with. Better to know who you're dealing with, after all. ]

If the current god of thunder is the god of thunder we've always had then he certainly needs to up his game.

[ Hummm. ] You seem to be more familiar with him than me. [ She knows the Greek pantheon. Not the... whoever the Japanese one is. ]

Tell me, do you think he'll mind a bit of sport? His lightening isn't really hitting any of its marks.

He usually comes with his brother. Raijin and Fujin are never far apart.

[ Head tilting slightly as she continues to watch the storm. ]

If anything, they might enjoy a bit of fun during work hours.
