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~

[Apparently a god is always just, he'll be as full as he wants.]

You want to make the girl laugh, Ken, not scare her.

[Caaaaarefully avoiding admitting that Ken could, indeed, win that fight. Ahem. He nods to the girl.]

Personally, I think it'd be funnier if I beat you up rather than the other way around, and that's the goal.

[That's just a recipe for disaster with an ego like yours.

Ken gasps with overdramatic, fake hurt.]

You'd hit a guy with amnesia? That's cold.

[Yeah, he's not exactly...troubled by the state of his memories. It is what it is, and there's not much he can do to change it.]

With a smile on my face.

[Of course, Youji never knew the Ken that didn't kill people. He remembered the Ken who didn't enjoy it, who didn't get high off it, but it's not the same, is it?

Maybe Ken got the better deal.]

I'm sure that's some kind of abuse. I'm going to start a petition or some sh--

--stuff.

[He shoots a glance at the small child. You didn't hear him almost curse there, did you?

...never mind that he just told a joke where the punch line depended on her knowing the word 'shit' anyway.

As for who got the better deal, well...he sure seems pretty okay with his situation.]
