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~

I was readying myself for battle!

[Don't people understand the perfect accompaniment to any fight was the right kind of look? He didn't care if a whole herd of elephants was on his tail or some kid was gonna be hitting him with a chair. If he didn't have his eyeliner in place, he might as well be just another stupid-ass kid with a chip on his shoulder. He just wished he knew what that chip was, but whatever. He'll worry about that later.

Capping his eyeliner and putting it back into his pocket, he goes after the shadowy creature, knocking over a stand of umbrellas as he tried grabbing it and then grabbing one to use as a kind of stick to poke under the heavier stand of candies. There was a weird ass giggle and something blew a raspberry at him from under the drinks counter. Byung-hee's eyes narrowed.]

Oh, that's fucking it. [He goes for the fire extinguisher.] Your ass is getting frosted!

[No, because the perfect accompaniment to any fight was punching someone in the face, but not everyone is that talented, are they? He shakes his head and grumbles. It's just making things worse. Destruction was fine for a purpose, but this man... this frustrating man...

Finally, when things had gone from bad to, if anyone could believe it, worse, Kensei jumped over the counter and pushed himself back past Byung-hee towards the drinks counter.]

You. Sit back.

[His aura was menacing, and his body towered in muscles (although he wasn't bulky in the least).]

If you can't focus on the enemy, then you need to step back.

[You want someone to hit other delinquents he would be the delinquent for you. Weird shadowy creatures that felt like smoke and slush? He had no idea how to handle those things. He wasn't use to that kind of stuff even if he did get the lecture about what a shinki was suppose to do. Well. He slept through the lecture about what his new role in death was suppose to be.]

I'm pretty sure that the enemy isn't suppose to be squirmy like a fist full of snot.

[Because he was sure he had the thing until it ran off. Look. There was some weird-assed slime on his hand which he is making a face at. Ew. But fine, he'll just pick up the fire extinguisher just in case. While he's got some healthy respect for anyone that is tough, he pretty much figured that this kind of fight isn't just down to numbers and brawn.]

[If there are other delinquents, he'll keep that in mind. For right now, however, they've got a problem of a whole other variety. He grumbles for a second.]

It's the enemy we've got to deal with... stop grabbing that damn extinguisher! It's not going to do shit!

[He moves back and rips it out of his hands.]

Get all the way back. I'm going to try something.

[He doesn't know what's going to happen with anything here if he does this, but better safe than sorry.]

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.]
