TEST DRIVE # 30

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.Pen vs. PencilEveryone is allowed a favourite! But the debate over whether pens or pencils are the superior writing tool has boiled over at one Tokyo university. Lengthy formal debates have been booked, rallies organized, and even a support march around campus set up.
Of course, ayakashi are swarming to the (oddly passionate) conflict, but is there someone, or some
thing, behind all this? Take to the university pathways for ayakashi hunting, search for the root of the problem, or just get caught up in the debate yourself.
Quality QuotesThat poetry society is at it again! They’re out on the streets in this cool weather, this time offering freshly-baked sweet potatoes, in return for an answer to this question:
“What is the most quoteable thing you’ve ever heard?”
Strange, interesting, deep, silly-- all* is fair game in their search for the highest quality of quotes.
(*They reserve the right to withhold your sweet potato if you quote something dumb like a commercial jingle. This is serious research.)
Roving RavensA flock of ravens has made their croaking way to downtown Tokyo, where they're leaving the local crows outraged and hungry as the bigger birds steal their dinner. The ravens are harassing cats, bullying locals and tourists alike into handouts, and even working out how to rip open kitchen garbage on trash day. It's turning into a real mess! Something has to be done. Shoo away the new residents, but watch out for those sharp beaks.
Slippery ShoesA new fad is spreading among fashionable Tokyo teens: sleek plastic shoes in bright neon colors. They're super-bright, super-trendy, and cheap enough to afford on a teenager's part-time income, but there's just one problem. As soon as they get wet, there's no traction at all! Rainstorms are turning sloping sidewalks into fashion avalanches. Can they be redesigned for safety? Or is this just a great opportunity to laugh?
Tempting ToppersThere is a variety of ayakashi that, rather than feeding of the negative emotions of humans, is feeding off cats instead. And the tastiest form of emotion for them? The disgruntlement over having to wear cute gachapon hats. The ayakashi linger near gacha machines, tempting the humans into buying the hats and distracting them from any thought of how it irritates a cat to have their ears covered. They then take up residence on the poor cat’s head along with the hat. Rescue the cats of Tokyo from this menacing-- wait, is that a
bunny hat?! That’s
so cute!♥ Try the pineapple hat next!
