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~

[It must be strange for two adults to be standing there eating odd candy but Aymeric's expression...well, it shows a sense of bliss because out of all the pieces, he grabbed the one that has his favorite flavor. A simple reminder of home and how he put it in his tea, only a small amount to make sure he never wastes it and yet it's been replicated...or was it truly made with it?

Once he swallows, he's stunned at how the man had such a sweet.]

Remarkable...I would have never thought of it in this place...

[The fact that his voice sounds light and pleasant means that he must be ok with the man and his presents.]

[Managing to shake out of her own stupor, She tilts her head, looking confused despite the smile she's got.]

Hm? Somethin' ya know?

[Oh, right. Aymeric usually holds himself with much better poise than this. But he has to remind himself that he isn't in Ishgard anymore...]

Ah, just a reminder of home. Most scoff at the idea of birch flavors it seems.

Birch? Huh, Ah've never had birch stuff...wasn't a lot o'it 'round where Ah grew up or in Melior...there any more o'it in that pile he gave ya?

Hmm, there might be....

[Sitting down, he rummages through the candy pile to find a few more of the same wrapping.]

Ah, here! Try it.

Oh, thank ya.

[She fishes out an easily spotted tootsie from the pile and hands it to him as well.]

H-here, ya try this.

[And while he does that, she's trying this candy...oh, hey, this is pretty good! Creamy, not too sweet...yeah, this is good stuff!]

This is...real yummy.

[Meanwhile, the candy she gave him goes into his mouth and instead of chocolate, Aymeric tastes something smoky and bitter, not knowing it was a bitter coffee flavored tootsie roll. His words were not much use but the expression on his face said it all: it was very gross.

Nonetheless, he still swallowed it.]

It is...an interesting taste.

[Interesting as in very horrible.]

[Oops. She looks at him in confusion, before looking at the wrapper she handed him.]

...Oops, gave ya the wrong one. Sorry...
