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.

[ He doesn't remember that now does he? so he can't exactly tell you that it's cool. ]

A date perhaps?~

[ He's the best bro for this job that's what. ]

Do I get a name at least?

Edited 2016-10-05 02:20 (UTC)

[ Some things are just ingrained, memories or not. ]

Information exchange.

[ Bluntly put before - ]

Zero.

[ Considering he was technically the one who bothered him first, he'll be nice and give him his name. ]

[ Yep. So he won't have to talk about that ever, not that he cared about being mistaken for a girl anyway. It's funny. ]

Cryptic aren't you? Well I suppose your lucky that I'm not a hacker. Hackers would love to find out about who you were trying to engage with for information exchange.

He's laughing to himself as the other gives him his name.

Zero. What an interesting name.

[ His mouth flattens, not liking this girl one bit. ]

Only a moron would rely on technology to keep their secrets safe.

[ My, my. Someone's not in a nice mood today. ]

It's the only thing we have left.

[ Sorry she's not an idiot. so you'll have to deal with it. ]

Indeed, but you have to admit. Such technology can be quite terrifying ne?

[ Well it's a typical thing so what? ]

It's sad don't you think? Having nothing but our names. Not that it can be helped.

Edited 2016-10-05 03:03 (UTC)

No.

[ Must they always disagree? ]

[ He grows silent then, his fingers stilling for a full minute before typing a response. ]

Who says it can't?

Not even a little?

I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinions. I don't like it personally.

Will you do something about it?

[ It's just in their blood okay? ]

No.

[ A second rebuff as sharp as the first. Technology didn't scare him, people did. ]

Who says I'm not already?

[ Why do you think he needs to meet with someone to exchange information my dear little Ichiru? Your brother has become quite the rebel in your absence. ]

[ Honestly, both are quite scary combine together in Ichiru's opinion but doesn't stop him either. ]

The rebellious type aren't you? That's quite a confession.

[ When was he not rebellious? Actually don't answer that. ]

You've piqued my interest.

Edited 2016-10-05 03:48 (UTC)

It's fact.

[ Not a confession. Also, there's a visible frown at that last line. ]

Who are you?

Alright, fact. You don't seem like the type to sugar coat your answers.

Me? Just another curious Shinki. Or were you asking for my name?

And you don't seem like the type to take anything serious.

[ He's being rude on purpose. Maybe she'll get mad and leave him alone. ]

[ That last line has him quiet for a good half a minute. She was a shinki. Like him. ]

Your name.

[ The single fact has him curbing his words... just a little. ]

I was asking for your name.

I suppose you can say that.

[ He doesn't even flinch really. Zero need stop making judgement about his gender. ]

Ah now you're being specific. That's a lot better.

Ichiru.

That's all I know.

Edited 2016-10-06 04:15 (UTC)

....

[ Surprise color's his thoughts that for a moment, he forgets to screen his words and types the first words that come to mind. ]

That's a boy's name.

Don't tell me you assumed I was a female? What made you beleive such lies, Zero?

[ If he was talking to Zero, it'd sound really mocking. ]

Edited 2016-10-06 05:09 (UTC)

You talk too much.

[ Or, in this case, type. ]

You talk too little.

[ whatever he wants to assume, he can. Ichiru won’t bother correcting him. ]
