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.

I...

[It was only when the gentleman shifted that Felicia fully realized exactly how close they were underneath that net and exactly how short her skirt was for the season-- and, blushing now in appropriate dismay, Felicia obediently heeded the gentleman's words.]

Uhm, [She said when his legs shifted a certain somewhere a little too close,] If anything happens today, I hope you're willing to take responsibility for it. I don't really remember the last time I was this close to someone...

[ And that gets him to stop, his fingertips still an inch or so shy of his dagger. ]

Are you… [ Dammit, he’s been trying not to think about it and she has to go and make him think about it and this is not fun at all!! ]

Are you accusing me of inappropriate behavior? [ All the righteous indignation, Felicia. All of it. ]

Ah--Sorry~! I'm not trying to accuse you of anything, I promise!

[Oh~! She was always screwing something up, especially when it was important!]

You're the one who had the net, anyway-- so this is kind of your fault that we're in here.

[ She was definitely accusing, and the hard set of his face shows well enough that she doesn’t convince him—not one bit. ]

I had meant to catch a frog before you got in my way, if you recall. [ So obviously she should be the one who gets blamed here. ]

And now I have to destroy a perfectly good net in order to free the both of us from your blunder.

But-- maybe we both should have been paying more attention!

[If this man had been trying to catch that frog Felicia was trying to befriend, then shouldn't he have been more aware of his surroundings as well?]

Oh~! There's gotta be something we can do so we don't ruin this net!

[Unbeknownst to Felicia in her panic, the slime beneath them was starting to freeze...]

[ You know, he really can’t even begin to argue since it suddenly feels very cold underneath him, and it doesn’t take him long to realize that the slime is freezing for some reason what the fuck— ]

It’s freezing! [ Is somebody casting a spell at them? Are they under attack?! Alarmed, he finally manages to yank his dagger out of his sheath and frantically worry its blade at the cords of the net. ]
