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~

Ultimately, some people are just too set in their ways to be easily shaken.

[She speaks from experience.]

That's why you give them an ultimatum.

[She would. She has. She'll do it again.]

Some even then refuse to move. It's impressive, if not in a positive way.

... but enough about that! Have you already checked all of the previous houses on this side of the street? I've visited all of them up to this point.

[Everyone moves if you point a sword at them.

She nods.] I was going to check the next street over.

[I mean, you're not wrong, but. light no]

I see. I haven't gotten to that, yet. Let's split the work between us with that street, maybe?

I take it I won't have to double check your work after we're done? [She nods before she starts walking.]

Sounds fine by me.

No, you won't. [Well, like... she hopes not...]

Excellent. [She heads off to begin, quietly glad they could work together this way.]

[Don't worry. She thinks you're dependable enough to not need it. If not, well, then you might just be one of those adults she shakes her head at.]

See you in a few then. [As in... maybe an hour or so? There weren't that many houses around this block.]

[Oh, right, she wasn't sure if Lightning would be coming back afterward. That confirms it, though. Perfectly fine; it might be better to get to know the others she's working with.]

Alright, I don't see why not.
