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.

Take it easy, I'm just trying to figure out the best way to do this! Don't want either of us getting electrocuted...

[Viktor glanced around, trying to see if he could find anything that might help.]

Looks like there's an equipment closet over there! I'll go see if I can find a net and a bucket.

ii!

[darkhorrse]

[ That voice... He turns just in time to see him run off toward the closet. ]

.....

[ Any skater worth his salt knew Viktor Nikiforov. His likeness was plastered on all figure skating sites, his name at the top of all the rankings but... what was he doing here? His brows crease, only then realizing what should have been obvious from the beginning, except was he a god or a shinki? ]

[leapingchuu]

[Viktor returned before long, having absolutely no idea about the internal question Otabek was currently contemplating. While this man did look vaguely familiar, he wasn't able to place him. But it wasn't terribly important, considering they had much bigger issues to deal with!]

I found a bucket! Do you want to use the net to catch them, or should I?

[darkhorrse]

[ Otabek doesn't expect the Russian skater to remember him, even if they did share the podium at World's last year, so his behavior does little to answer his question, which by the looks of it will have to wait till they've dealt with the matter at hand. ]

I'll do it.

[ He picks up the net and quickly moves over to the tank to scoop out first eel. The net is made from plastic so the zaps that skim across the water don't harm him. When he scoops up the first eel, he tuns to Viktor ready to set it in the bucket filled with water. ]

We'll move them to a separate tank one at a time.

[ He doesn't want to risk them injuring each other in such close quarters. ]

[leapingchuu]

Sounds good!

[He was a little bit glad, since he really had no idea how to catch the eels or what to do with them afterward, but this guy seemed to have it covered! Watching the electricity in the water was rather mesmerizing, and Viktor found himself getting a little distracted by the show. So much so that the weight in the bucket surprised him a little, until he heard the next words.]

Oh! Of course!

[And with a grin, he made his way to one of the empty tanks. Thankfully, there were a few scattered around.]

[darkhorrse]

[ Otabek spares a few glances his way when the other is busy placing the eels in the tank. He knows the rules of this place, the gods were sworn to keep the shinki's from remembering their past. And yet... he didn't realize the enormity of the burden placed on them until he saw with is own eyes an icon of his world. ]

.............

[ Was this then... what it meant to be a god? And if he was having difficulty with this then how did-- ]

Viktor! Watch out!

[ Otabek watched as an eel almost hurled itself out of the bucket desperate to get out of the small container! ]
