TEST DRIVE # 39



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.



Interrupting Illumination
It’s weird enough when your lights start flickering, but it’s even worse when it’s a whole street doing that. People are having trouble working from home, nobody’s sleeping well, children are cranky... and it’s definitely building up bad vibes all around! Help track down the source of these illumination problems, ayakashi caused or not, before ayakashi are drawn to the peoples’ frustrations anyway!


Janky Jeeps
Travelers are finding themselves with all kinds of car troubles - Jeeps especially! Running out of gas, rusting parts, loose steering - it’s incredibly dangerous! Track down the multitude of mini ayakashi that have taken a liking to this brand of vehicle before any more offroaders have to cut their adventures short before they even get off the highway!


King Kong
The news on the Near Shore is all awash with urgent news reports about an escaped gorilla running rampant through a small town. While it hasn’t caused too much property damage, it does seem to be making off with anything shiny that catches his eye, startling the townspeople and climbing into hard-to-reach places. It’s currently taken position at the top of a tall shrine and aggressively threatening anyone who comes close. Won’t somebody do something about this mad monkey?


A Labor of Love
There’s a small park at the center of town that holds a fountain with a single name on a plaque - an elderly gentleman who’d volunteered so much time in tending to the park over the years. Everyone in town knows his name or holds cherished memories of seeing him tend to the grounds with such care and kindness. But this year is the first year the little park will have to fend without him and in his memory, the town has come together to care for it in his place. Help clean up the park or tend to the plants or lend a hand in keeping his beloved park beautiful.


Make Mine Mild
One particular chain of restaurants used to be famous as one of the only places you could get good, spicy food - not anymore! Someone in upper management decreed that their recipes were just too spicy to attract the average customer. Perhaps you can help a single restaurant, the employees or its customers? Perhaps you can go straight to the top and sort out why the upper management Suit And Tie Guy can’t stand a little spice in his life? Or maybe you’re someone who’s THRILLED that the super spicy food is gone and you can enjoy their food now. You might have to beg a friend to keep it that way, though.
