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.



If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!

Have fun!

Mess up my work and I'll make you light each firework individually~

[ That psuedo threat comes with Kisuke preparing a barrier kidou just in case his very assistant decides the risk is worth it. ]

You can take anything you want once we're done. For now, could you hand me that last sack of peanuts?

[ Kisuke has emptied about three hundred pounds of peanuts into his devices so far, but one more surely won't hurt. ]

[he gives Urahara a petulant look that puts even Ichigo's best pouts to shame. The sword-spirit uses his previous master's facial features well] That's not hard to do. [as long as you don't mind them all exploding at ground level from a surge of spirit energy, since... that's how he would probably try and "light" them.

But, he's already encountered Urahara's barriers a few times tonight, and some of them have even delivered a nasty shock. Getting the gear RIGHT NOW isn't worth it.

Probably.

He huffs and lays his sword down to go and grab the other sack of peanuts

What does this machine even DO?

[ Never ask Urahara those types questions because depending on his mood, he might not even answer seriously. And honestly? A serious answer isn't necessarily a good thing as the Hollow is about to find out. Why?

Because the answer is long and details. Urahara pours over the inner workings of his devices with a quick tongue that flows smoothly over explanations of gear ratios, timing, and the proper amount of fireworks to use.

It all translates into two really simple tasks: make fireworks go off and shower the crowd in a bountiful rainfall of peanuts. ]


So, make sense?

[ The grin tugging at the corner's of his mouth bodes no good for anyone. ]

[it only takes about thirty seconds of overly detailed explanation before the Hollow's eyes start to glaze over, and his thoughts drift elsewhere. As is most common, his thoughts drift to his stomach and its status as a bottomless pit. He rips into the bag of peanuts with his talons and starts shoving whole, unshelled peanuts into his mouth as Urahara just. Keeps. Talking.

He misses the simple tasks entirely, buried as they are in a bunch of data he does not comprehend. All he knows is that peanuts and fireworks are involved, and he knew that before he asked about it.

Ok. Lesson learned. Don't ask.
]

Clear as mud, Sandal-hat. Whatever. The sooner this is done the sooner you can work on the thing for me, right?

[Yoruichi had said that if anyone could figure out a solution to his growing problem, it would be this guy. But honestly, Zangetsu isn't holding his breath. This guy is just weird.]

[ Well, you can ask, but it's typically best to ask very specific questions. ]

I'm already working on the 'thing for you'. [ A small frown forms when Kisuke remembers his conversation with Yoruichi over the Hollow's - ah - problem here. ] I've got a couple of ideas about it, but I've got to find or build the equipment that I'm going to need.

[ Right now that might be the longest part. The idea he has is fairly simple, the tech behind it isn't. ]

Unfortunately, this world doesn't have spiritual transference equipment.
