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.

[It works! Plus, this way they get to chat to one another. It's nice, having people in the same sort of situation to talk to. And even better to help each other out.]

Please don't. I'd worry they'd wobble and boink you on the head.

[She smiles up at him, and makes to stand by his side.]

All right! I'm ready for navigation duty!

[It shouldn't be hard, she thinks, especially if the place they're going to isn't far.]

So! Where are we going?

Yeah, I know, that's what the girl back at the store said too. [He pouts a little bit, shrugging his shoulders. If he was being honest, she was the reason he took so many boxes in the first place, but she has, by now, completely forgotten about him. Flirting with girls is pretty great, but it's kinda disheartening when you don't really have a chance to go back and do it again later]

[At least Masaki won't be forgetting about him any time soon! That more than anything puts a spring in his step and lightens his burden as he walks down the street]


It shouldn't be too far! It's a restuarant, called something like Yugimoto diner? Yuki...mono? Uhh... [crap, he forgot already.] WELL, I'M SURE IT'S FINE, I KNOW IT'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE, IF WE KEEP GOING IN THIS DIRECTION I'M SURE WE'LL FIND IT.

Well that was nice of her.

[Even if she...totally forgot about him and the boxes. Yeesh, they better get it to the right place, or his master might end up stung for days. But hey! At least they can flirt with each other! Kinda sorta.]

Ah....

[...though not while trying to figure out where to deliver the boxes. This was going to be tough.]

Well...all right. Worse comes to worse, I can try to ask around?

[Or borrow a map, somewhere. She hasn't figured out she (and likely Kuwabara) have an app for that on their phones.]
