TEST DRIVE # 09



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.



Old Officials


There's a business that is desperately wishing the older members of their workforce would bow out. They've been sitting on death's door for so long and are doing little to help the company. The younger managers only want to step up and take their place! Help convince these ancient businessmen to step down.

Peanut Party


A celebration for peanuts is sweeping through the city. Peanut butter, peanut cookies, even just plain peanuts are being sold, thrown, and praised all over. It's your job to help spread the peanut love, either by helping to make the tasty treats or by buying more peanuts from the next town over.

Quiet Quail


Oddly enough, a request has come in from a quail, of all creatures. It thinks very highly of itself and knows that it's super mega important, but it has such a hard time being anything but quiet. Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to draw attention to this quail - make it stand out like not other quail has done before.

Roaring Riders


A rowdy motorcycle gang has been plaguing the streets for a few weeks. Every night, at midnight, they make their engines roar out in unison, waking everybody in town. The riders themselves are good guys, they just have this one nasty habit that they refuse to give up because it pays tribute to their patron god. Do you have the heart to get them to quiet down?

Slick Sevens


The newest tourist stop is a large casino. It's said that everyone who enters the casino has their luck stolen from them at the door. That might just be silly superstitions and bad gamblers talking, but there is definitely an ayakashi there who seems to feed on people's luck. Maybe that's what's causing everyone to lose so much.

Good question!

[ Cassie nods and stares very pointedly at the quail. Give the answer little birdy, come on. Several seconds in silence passes before she returns her attention to Hijikata. ]

Right, that makes sense. It would make a chic scarf for her- [ points at the birb ] -or him, whatever.

...You're talking to it.

[Because that makes sense.]

[...It probably doesn't make any less sense than the last few weeks have. Damn.]


What does it care about chic?
cassiecage: (oh boy)

[personal profile] cassiecage 2016-10-01 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes she is! Or she's just being a troll. There is also possibility of a combination of both. ]

Ah, because you see, it has self-esteem issues! [ The bird flaps it's wing softly, but doesn't take off. Cassie shh's it with small poke ] Image revamp as a first step of getting an attitude.

[ Just look at her. She's so good at this job, even birds pray to her. ]
koukai_kirai: (On happy old Broadway)

[personal profile] koukai_kirai 2016-10-01 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She's got to be kidding.]

What does a bird need attitude for? All it's got to do is build nests and eat... whatever the Hell quails eat.

[personal profile] cassiecage 2016-10-01 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, rude. That's like saying all humans got to do is work and eat!

[ No it isn't, but she's jumping at a chance to tease an overly serious guy ]
koukai_kirai: (Take the cash and I'll keep it)

[personal profile] koukai_kirai 2016-10-01 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Being teased for being overly serious is like, a good 80% of his life. Honestly, he's too used to it to be all that bothered, even?]

Sleep, too, reputedly.

[He's never been good at doing enough of that himself, but...]
