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.

[ On the other hand, it doesn't take much to hear the amusement over here. ] Then, it can't be helped.

Ladies, please. Look this way. Instead of an unwilling companion, how about you become my fans? I have these.

[ Seemingly from thin air, she produces two long sticks with purple and gold feathers and streamers suspended from their ends - cat toys, one for each hand. Holding them up, she bobs them in front of the catgirls. ]

Behold.

[The catgirls meow excitedly in unison and leap at the the toys, which at least gives Yuri a second to regain in composure. You can see why they were so attached to him, really. He does kind of give the impression of a cat with its fur standing on end.]

It's just gonna get worst. That's not gonna solve it forever.

[One of the catgirls sticks her tongue out at him, proclaiming the "angry kitty" to be no fun at all. Master probably won't like the angry kitty.]

I'M NOT GONNA GO SEE YOUR MASTER!!

[As if he hadn't established that loudly enough before...]

[ Hibiki just laughs: this plan, thus far, has been a success, so she isn't worried. Slowly, she begins backing away, trying to lead the girls away from their unwitting former victim. ]

That's it. This way, ladies. Look only at m---

[ One of the "meow"s from when the girls talk falls upon her ears. Hibiki winces, blinks, goes pale for a moment.

But that had definitely been a fluke. For sure. ]

Where are you taking them, anyway?

[Now that he's managed to get his clothes straightened and his dignity back, this seems like an important question to ask, considering the whole situation that prompted this in the first place.]

Have no concern.

[ One of the advantages to being an excellent ad-libber is you can start things without having any idea how you're going to finish them and they'll still work out Perfectly.

That is the logic Hibiki appears to be operating on, anyway.

She offers the young man a considerate smile, though given her current precarious situation, it's a bit forced. The cat toys in her hands twitch with extra enthusiasm. ] Please, make haste.

You have no idea, do you?

[Geez, is he going to have to solve this himself after all?]

I would suggest escaping before their attention is diverted again.

[ Backing up more quickly now. She's Got This, okay? It's under control. Just like her temper.

But since one of her eyebrows has started to twitch, draw whatever conclusions you want from that. ]

And what're you gonna do? You do know what they're trying to do, right?

[The catgirls hiss at him. Angry kitty is mean. Master probably doesn't want to play with angry kitty after all.]

It's under control.

[ No hissing. No looking over there. Hibiki bobs the cat toys in front of the girls' "paws". Come on. Come on...ignore the fool who doesn't run when he's told....

Just don't meow again. Whatever you do, ladies, don't meow. ]
