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.

Whoops.

[ When Felicia had bumped this person, they had been facing away from her. But halfway through her descent, they've managed to not only turn around, but also reach out and catch her in what, to any passersby, might very well look like a dip from ballroom dancing. ]

That was close. Those delicate feet are too exquisite to trip over, mademoiselle.

[ SUDDENLY IT IS REALLY REALLY BRIGHT. Like, sparkles everywhere.

Wow. ]

Oh, my....

[She was too startled to notice their positioning for a heartbeat-- the sparkles that had exploded around this seemingly delicate young person were stunning, blinding, and terribly distracting from her current predicament until a car passing by splashed water and dirt in their direction.

Then, and only then, did panic set in.]

Oh my gosh! I'm sorry-- I'm sorry for making you go out of your way for this!

[ They sort of slid back when that car past - actually slid, as if magnets forced them and the dirt apart - so don't worry. The mess was averted, too.

Settling Felicia back firmly on the ground, the dashing figure blinks away the apology and just keeps smiling. ] Are you unharmed?

Ah! Uhm...Of course!

[She most certainly was not blushing under the influence if this stranger's magnetic charisma, that seemed to even bend the scenery to it's will. There was nothing impressive, stunning, or awe inspiring about this person at all!

~~There definitly was, and Felicia was blushing furiously under the intenity of this stranger's gaze.~~]

[ Chuckling, the stranger steps back. They let go of Felicia's hand last, after first bringing it to their lips to kiss it. Then they turn it over, palm-up, and when Felicia is allowed to reclaim her hand, she's holding a purple lily. ]

Keep your eyes up. But don't make too much eye contact. You could blind someone.

[There was no hiding the blush now as she stared at both the flower and stranger in wonder before offering a bashful smile.]

Uhm...how am I supposed to keep my eyes up without making eye contact? That sounds kinda hard...

[After all, friendly people attracted other friendly people. It was a law of the universe, and Felicia couldn't help herself.]

Be as the star in the evening twilight that shines for its own sake.

[ ...You're on your own for that one, Felicia.

Work here completed, the stranger seems intent on taking their leave.

On their terms. ] Until we meet again, Princess.
