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 he is AWESOME at sneaking, ok?! It's hard to be sneaky when you look like he does, and... well, when you exude spiritual pressure like goddamn Chernobyl melting down. He couldn't hide from someone spiritually sensitive even if he were legitimately invisible.

YOINK]

MMMMMRRRRPPHHH!!

[he wants to yell, but he also doesn't want to drop the one in his mouth. He flips on his back as he's dragged so he's better poised to kick at Kensei with his clawed back feet, like some sort of stupid Hollow cat. He lacks the big killing claw on his ankle, but the talons he DOES have are quite sharp]

MRRMMMM RRRMMPH MMM!!!

[hard to believe that this is the same creature that gave all the Visored's a run for their money in the basement that one time]

[Oh my god, this man is an absolute pain in the ass. He wants to grab him and toss him into the nearest building, but the whole point of this place is to not destroy everything.

He's probably going to fail.

But at least he can go out with a bang.

He dodges each of those feet with his head back and forth. He can't take it a second longer, and pulls his foot back to stomp on his crotch. Anyone who says Kensei plays nicely is a damn liar.]

Would you shut the hell up?!

[Hollows typically do not have external genitalia. But Zangetsu is not just a Hollow, and he retains uh... some more human anatomy.

The animalistic scream and ensuing explosion of spiritual energy should be enough to level the building. But hey, the Near Shore has a way of dampening powers, so only the shelves around them are affected; they fall like dominos

It cuts off at once and Zangetsu is limp on the floor, making a gurgling noise in the back of his throat]

You.... you... cheap.... son of a bitch....

[He's a man, he's got the place to stomp, it's fine, it works.

Even if it causes him to wince slightly in his head because, that had to hurt.]

No shit.

[He's a captain, the level of spiritual energy would be enough to mess up his hair, but that's long gone now. He steps off and moves to start fixing the shelves.]

Stay there! I've got to fix this shit.

[said Hollow does not move. He just stays lying on the floor, whimpering a little. He isn't sure he even can move.

Ugh. This GUY. He's gonna get it. He's gonna get a sword in his back and then he's gonna cut him up into little pieces and eat him alive.

Yes. Yes. The idea of vengeance gives him renewed strength, and he quickly flips over and makes a break for it, albeit without most of his stolen confections. The one that WAS in his mouth gets put back there as he runs, and he eats it, plastic wrapping and all]

[There's a point in your life where you have to choose your battles. And the battle he doesn't want to face is with this hollow who looks almost exactly like that shit they had to deal with before.

And nope.

Not gonna do it.

He moves to straighten up those shelves before moving back to the door.]

Don't you damn well come back here!

[you gotta draw a line in the sand. You gotta ask yourself, "WHAT AM I WILLING TO PUT UP WITH TODAY?!"

Not fucking this.

Zangetsu bolts out the door, skidding on the flooring as he goes. He does take a moment to turn around and pull a juvenile raspberry blowing face at Kensei through the window. Then, a burst of sonido and he's outta there

~~to some other convenience store across town~~]
