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 couldn't resist

[rev13_3]

[ There are no answers here -- only more questions. Farfarello emerges from the other end of the building dripping in several different colors of goo, his makeshift weapon (a length of copper gas pipe that looks to have been ripped right out of the wall, now somewhat bent and just as slimy as its owner) held at the ready. He relaxes when he spies Crawford -- just a person, hardly as much fun as a ten-tentacled beast -- and offers the other man a conspiratorial grin. ]

The spotted ones bleed strawberry.

[ Well... it's strawberry flavored, at any rate. ]

Welcome my wayward son

[cryptaesthesia]

Of course they do.

[And there's Farfarello, arriving promptly as if he were the grand marshal of this madness parade. Crawford heaves a sigh. At times like these, he almost wishes he could be surprised, for Farfarello is quite the sight; grinning and dripping. His questions will have to wait. Farfarello is not an informative creature by nature, but thankfully he has another equally useful skill set that Crawford could use just about now.

Using the broom handle, he gestures to the mildly stunned tentacle still lingering by the kitchen door, all but tapping it on its...head(?)]

And the somewhat translucent green ones? What do they bleed?

[He doesn't care if Farfarello eats it or beats it to death, he just wants it eradicated.]

[rev13_3]

[ You can't just poke them, foolish man. Farf accepts the suggestion gladly, stalking across the room with the focused grace of a much larger predator. Crawford may wish to take a few steps back, as beating the tentacle into a somewhat translucent green syrup will not be the tidiest of jobs.

Once it stops moving (although from the shifting sounds coming from way back in the house, whatever it was attached to hasn't stopped moving yet), Farf swings the club down one final time, then flings his arm to the side so the dripping end is presented at face height to his new friend. ]

You tell me.

[ He's a shinki -- that much should be clear by now. There's no recognition when he looks in Crawford's direction, and his behaviors are subtly different in a dozen little ways. That smile, for one. It's not Farf's usual feral leer, but rather something more honestly pleased. He's good at killing demons, he's discovered, and he's pleased that this means he'll be of good service to his god.

That's another thing that's different. Tread carefully, Crawford. ]
