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~

Hey, no looking down at my profession. ["High-profile jewel thief" is totally a profession.]

How's their security look? Think it was big enough to need an insider?

[papillonprincess]

Then as this is your profession, perhaps you'll be able to provide a little insight?

[ She turns once on her heel, looking around the room for anything: ventilation, open windows, other doors not easily noticed. ]

I can't say the room could have made it easy to escape... but for a local museum, I'm sure you can expect at least one or two security guards on patrol. Certainly not as many as there are in larger museums though.

[heatupnever]

Would be great if we didn't have to play detective, though.

[But despite her grumbling, she does go over to look at the potential exit points.]

And technically, it's my ex-profession. Security was kind of my specialty.

[Less bragging, more working! She crosses her arms as she considers a window.] What do you think of this? It's cracked at the corner. Think an ayakashi could use it?

[papillonprincess]

A converted convict?

[ She does smile slightly buuuut back to business. Time to take a look at that window too. Her brows furrow into the smallest frown as she looks at it. ]

I've been told that ayakashi were spirits so it probably wouldn't be impossible to use a cracked window to enter. The question would be how they got the swords out afterward.

[heatupnever]

Sure, but I don't think we mean the same thing when we say "converted."

[Heh. But speaking of conversions...]

Well, we're kinda spirits too, you know? Maybe they took it the same way we would. [Though, she'd never been curious enough to try it, really. Experimentally, she picks up a dagger from one of the displays.] Feels solid enough to me.

[papillonprincess]

[ Nope, that frown isn't leaving anytime soon. Waaaaaaay too many variables and factors to find an answer to this equation. ]

Despite the fact that we are spirits, I don't think we're capable of turning non-corporeal. At least that's what I've observed.

[ A beat. You may be on to something though. ]

Though if the culprit was a shinki or a god, it might be easy for them to take the weapons and walk out of the museum without being noticed...

[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?
