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.

You might not have to.

[ While not as opulent as what she once had, it's a nice color and a good fit on her. For now, it's good.... but it's not like she knows what her wardrobe looked like.

But back to the matter at hand.

She does keep silent, eyes trained on those perverts and the lady who walks past them. It's almost as if her silence was to draw Hokuto's attention to them. Watch and wait.

There's a certain sashay to her hips as she walks, a certain self-satisfied haughtiness in her eyes as she walks past the men without even batting an eye. ]

While others may be quick to write off unwarranted attention as degrading or insulting, there are some who invoke it on purpose. There are those who enjoy the attention, those who deliberately seek it out for their own enjoyment.

[ As the girl walks by though, there's a brief flash of what seems to be a long forked tail waving slowly behind her. The smile on Yuuko's face is close to a silent 'what did I tell you?' before she turns her attention back to her companion. ]

We aren't the only things ordinary people aren't capable of seeing.
