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.

[Well, if Viktor was willing to do his own laundry, that meant he wouldn't have to deal with it, so...

Wait...]


Don't hug the frog, you weirdo!

[He could just see where this might end up. Frog goo all over Viktor's suit was one thing, but frog goo all over Yuri's temple was something else entirely.]
leapingchuu: (the hell)

But frogs need hugs too!!

[Yes, he was very insistent about this matter! They were just slimy dogs and only wanted to be friends!

And really, he hadn't given any thought to getting goo in or on the temple. Whoops.]

What?

[For a second, all Yuri could do was stare at him incredulously. There was so much he wanted to say, but he knew perfectly well once he got rolling, something was going to come out that Viktor absolutely couldn't hear. Because it was ridiculous enough just in this context but in context of the Viktor that Yuri had grown up begrudgingly admiring...

WHY DID HE EVEN LIKE THIS MORON??]


No they don't! They're freaking frogs! If you want a pet, there are plenty of cats back home!

[Even though he was pretty sure what Viktor wanted was a dog. Which would still be more acceptable than a frog. Why, Viktor? Why this?]
leapingchuu: (motto)

[personal profile] leapingchuu 2017-01-11 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, a cat might be nice!

[Although he really didn't think he wanted one, for some reason. Sure, they were fluffy and could be cute, but...something about the idea just didn't feel quite right. But he shook his head, not wanting to make the god even more annoyed with him.

None of this in any way diminished his affection for the frogs, though. They were adorable! And they made funny sounds and jumped around very athletically. Who wouldn't want to be friends with a frog?]

How do you know? Have you asked them all? Maybe some of them are lonely.

[personal profile] shortprogram 2017-01-11 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't speak frog!

[He speaks cat, thank you. Well, he's been able to ever since he ended up here.]

And even if they are lonely, they have other frogs, don't they? They can all be gross together.

[This is probably terribly uncharitable to frogs, but he doesn't give a crap.]
leapingchuu: (wat)

yikes, sorry for the html on that last one

[personal profile] leapingchuu 2017-01-12 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
But they're not gross! They can't help that they're covered in goo. It's not really fair to blame them for it, is it?

[Frogs couldn't help their sliminess, after all. And don't tell Viktor you can speak cat, Yuri, he'll never let it go and will demand you teach him. Nobody has time for that.]

I'm not sure frogs make friends with other frogs. They might fall in love, but I don't know what their social patterns are.
shortprogram: (wtf)

[personal profile] shortprogram 2017-01-12 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Why was this conversation happening. Viktor was almost twice his age, so why did Yuri always end up feeling like the adult?]

If they fall in love, of course they make friends! But they don't do either because they're FUCKING FROGS!

[That was kind of an important detail that he felt he needed to repeat.]
