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.

[Yuuri's eyes go wide at the question, and he goes pink right up to the tips of his ears.]

Ah... well...

I-it's just that whatever is happening in there seems very... very private?

[Kill him now. Why is this happening to him?]

[ Uh... What?]

Are you.... well then why didn't they lock the door? And why the hell where you that startled that you fell off a building!

[ And he's walking away because NOPE. ]

I don't know! And... t-there were tentacles?

[Anyone would be startled!]

[Walking away sounds like a great idea, though, Yuuri's all for it!]

[ Well... He would have and then you said..]

Tentacles?

[ Ok, no. That doesn't sound right. He marches back and grabs Yuuri's collar. ]

What the hell?

[Yuuri, already a little shaken by the sight of the inside of the apartment, just stares down at him like a deer in the headlights when his shirt is grabbed.]

Yes, I don't know, I... I-it looked like everyone was... having a nice time, so I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to... interrupt...?

[ Ok so Yusuke might be very very red right now. ]

Uh....oh?

[ What the hell was he supposed to do with THAT huh? ]

[Yuuri hasn't got the slightest idea, either!]

I-I know we're supposed to get rid of the ayakashi that's probably making it happen, but... um... I-I don't know if... m-maybe we should come back later, or...?

[He doesn't want to intrude!]

[ Yeah Lets not go into that apartment. Yusuke doesn't actually think he's old enough anyway even if he is freaking curious at what is making Yuuri that color. ]

Er...maybe it's not in there? I mean. It could be you know. Lurking about somewhere?

That's... that's a great idea.

[Not the least because this poor man still sounds like he might just faint. He might be a grown-ass adult, but he's not exactly used to this sort of thing, either!]

We can... look somewhere else, and see if that helps!
