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~

[That's all the reassurance he needs. The candy is shoved into his mouth and chew quickly. This is the best candy ever! Still chewing, he grins up at Urashima---until he mentions the source. Goten's posture stiffens a bit and he gives a nervous laugh, nearly choking on the candy before swallowing it.]

N-no, that's okay! You've already been really nice to give me your candy!

( This is all worth it. )

But it's really easy to get them! Come on, I'll show you!

( Let's go, Goten, let's go! He'll help you get more candies. )

[Now he sort of feels bad]

I don't think that guy really likes me..

[More like he tried to empty the man's entire stock of candy...but details. Goten can't help that he's a bottomless pit]

But I bet he'll give you some more.

( Why do you feel bad, Goten? You're clearly a good kid! )

Huh? ( Well, that's different, and Urashima slows his step some. ) Did you do something to make him angry?

Mmm..I don't think so.

[He pauses for a second, crossing his arms thoughtfully. Nothing comes to mind. All he did was take some of the offered candy and then kept asking for more and more.. There's nothing wrong with that, is there? Oh well. Goten doesn't dwell on it long.]

But it's okay! You were really nice to share with me!

Then that doesn't make any sense!

( You can't just decide to not like someone for no reason. Unless you're a jerk? But the man seemed so nice when he gave Urashima his candy? )

Maybe there was a misunderstanding. We can ask!

( Clear things up, apologize, and get more. )
