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.

[ Just wait, Masaki. One day you'll be woken up out of a sound sleep by a bloody (but not really) message on the wall. These things just happen when hanging out with Urahara. ]

I like this plan.

[ While he's not the chow hound, er cat, that Yoruichi is, cookies are always welcome. ]

Let's see who's next. The guy with the golfing addiction?

[She will track you down and kick you Urahara for your poor taste. Don't think she won't.

But she beams when he brings up that yes, there's going to be cookies.

Score!]

Yeah! And after that, I think we can go for the wine taster, and after that, the person who wants to change their career...

[Yeah, this was easy. They got this. They'd have that prayer fulfilled by dinner time!]

[ After making sure he put all the books and magazines back in their proper spots, Kisuke swings the door open and bows low. ]

After you~

[ A quick stop by the lounge yields more cookies and a little intel. Looks like the meeting will run late which will, by the by, give Kisuke and Masaki more time. ]

What'd you think? Golfing classes? Some kind of tournament?

[More coffee, cookies and intel; they really can't go wrong. Especially since they do have more time on their hands. This is far better then having to pull the fire alarm to gain some precious moments.]

Hmmm....if Golfing classes, I think it'd have to be someone he admires? Just for that little bit of extra incentive.

[Though the tournament-a tournament close but far away-isn't bad either. She taps her finger against her chin, before glancing up.]

People always want to get closer to their idols. Maybe we can do something about that.
