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.

Oh, probably. [Not much could stand up to a good Kamehameha, after all.]

[With the catgirl well and truly escaped, the old master turns to face the girl who'd interrupted him. Speaking of not his type, eesh. Come back when you've put on a dozen years and a dozen inches in a couple relevant measurements, huh?] I suppose if she's running from whatever that is, we probably ought to deal with it. That'll show her what an old master can do!

[Sir, she's dead, all her growing is done. Amongst other problems.]

[But that's not important right now compared to something else, and Wendy is suddenly grinning. Hey, letting a tough old guy take care of this sounds like a good plan in her book.]

Heroes are supposed to get the girls, right? Maybe she'll be impressed. But are you okay with going down into the sewers where that thing is apparently from?

[That shouldn't stop anyone! Heck, a bunch of people ended up stronger because they died, why shouldn't girls end up bustier?]

Hmm. That's a good point... but if it stays down in the sewers, who's it troubling?

[...You know what, that logic almost can’t be argued with. But the logic coming out of his mouth can be, because she just points at the sewer grate it was coming out of.]

Anyone walking near holes in the ground like that, probably.

Hmm.

[Considering this, Master Roshi walks over towards a nearby storm drain. Almost immediately, a tentacle surges up out of it, lunging for him with predatory hunger.]

Oh, drat. [He turns back to the girl, casually whacking the tentacle with his staff so that it drops limply to the ground.] They ARE a nuisance, aren't they.

[She’s not sure what’s more impressive: being so skilled for a geezer or how sturdy that cane must be.]

Yeah, and it’s not like people can just avoid sewer grates like that- they’re everywhere. [An idea hits her and she fullbody shudders.] Eugh, I hope they don’t get into bathrooms through the drains…
