TEST DRIVE # 12



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.



Daring Drinks

A couple of local bars are going out of their way to make new and interesting drinks for their customers to try, in a long-standing war between the two bars. Of course, they're going a little off the rails, so there are some very interesting - and somewhat scary - combinations popping out of the woodworks. And they want everyone passing by to try them.

Electric Eels

An odd ayakashi is causing some of the eels at the local aquarium to become literally electric, causing the eels to shock the other inhabitants in their tanks. This is causing a pretty big uproar and if it isn't fixed soon, someone could die or the aquarium might even just shut down entirely.

Frog Friend

Large frogs are popping up all over the place and following people around. They don't seem malicious in any way, but they are kind of creepy to look at, brightly colored, and leave trails of slippery goo wherever they stand. Oh, and they like to jump at people and knock them over, just for fun.

Gaseous Grandpas

A local home for older men is having a problem with a number of their inhabitants where they literally cannot stop farting and belching. It turns out this is the work of an ayakashi that just thinks farts and burps are funny and knows it's easier to get those sorts of things out of old people. Help the poor old guys out, would you?

Horrifying Hentai

Many known otaku in the area are dealing with a rather terrifying problem - every hentai they watch lately comes into reality very suddenly. Sometimes this means cute, begging girls, sure, but it also means tentacles and aliens and a whole rash of other things too. You'll have to stop the ayakashi that is bringing these 'fantasies' to life in order to save these guys.

Frog Friend

[Dealing with the frogs is a game, and an amusing one: Dust draws the attention of the nearest one, baits it into leaping for him, then dodges backwards in a burst of speed that leaves the frog landing haplessly where Dust had stood moments before, while the Sen-Mithrarin flips back to his feet a few yards away.]

[When the frog bounds again, Dust is ready, darting away again to lead the creature slowly away from others.]

[Problem, though: What's the next step? He could probably use some help dealing with the frog... without killing it. The sword at his side would handle that job easily enough, so clearly he doesn't consider it an option.]

Electric Eels

[He isn't INTENTIONALLY showing off, but there's Dust, perched lightly on the rim of the aquarium tank so he has a perfect view down into the water below.]

I can get the eels out, if you need me to so you can do something about them... or at the least, we could get them into a smaller tank.

Eels!

[fixed_destiny]

[A very large rubber tub is set down by the side of the aquarium with a thump, its cargo of water sloshing everywhere in the process. Enough remains inside to actually be useful though!

Xehanort rubs one arm across his forehead with a faint frown; that thing is heavier than it looks! Who thought carrying around tubs of water would be a good ide-- .. oh right.]

I think something needs to be done about them, especially if these tank walls are made of plastic and not glass. You won't be hurt by the electricity?

[mithrarin]

I'm not going to touch them. There... might be a little splash though.

[Dust flicks the top of his sword over the water, just low enough to skim the surface and make a splash. Come on, guys -- take the bait. There's prey lurking up top to shock...] You ready for this?

[fixed_destiny]

[Nope, he's not ready at all.

But he nods anyway, edging his rubber bin full of water a little bit closer and eyeing the sword dubiously. Is he going to have to try to catch them as they go flying? That wasn't going to be very pleasant..]

A little splash is fine. Better wet than electrocuted. Whenever you're set.

[mithrarin]

[No more words necessary, then. When the first eel drifts upwards, Dust whirls his sword into motion, spinning it into a blur so quick it's visible only as a motion shimmer. The sudden force of the spin creates a suction that hauls the eel and a long tongue of water out of the tank.]

[Hopping backwards off the tank, Dust falls for the ground with the sword spinning still, just long enough for the force of the Dust Storm to haul eel and water up and over the edge -- then he lands next to the tub, as the crackling creature splashes into it.]

[Yes, there's some serious spray. But mission accomplished, right?]
