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.

Nari Reno - OC - Shinki

Daring Drinks
[Ugh. Wheat grass and alcohol shots are definitely not to Nari's liking. He's barely swallowed one when something even more vile looking is handed to him. Why does it look like gravy? Who knows.]

I swear, this is going to kill me. Death by Thanksgiving and vodka. [After this statement, he throws the drink back and immediately regrets it.] That is not gravy... Gross. What the hell is in this?!

[The bartender informs him that the mixture is bacon grease, milk, and rum. If he remembered he was German, Nari would definitely look way more offended than he does now. It's taking a lot for him to keep his temper in check right now. Someone might want to pull him away.]

Frog Friend
[Despite having been jumped on by one of these large frogs, Nari is just chilling there, waving at passerby's as he tries to downplay the distress he's in. The distress stems from that goo slowly sinking into his hoodie and shirt. It felt downright disgusting. Still, can't make it look like you are suffering all because of of a harmless animal, nay, amphibian.]

Move along! Nothing to see here!

[Help...?]

Horrifying Hentai
[Nothing offends the sensibilities more than... well... whatever it is he's watching flailing about. Looks like tentacles, but with little nubby things at the end? Nari knows he should probably wait for a god and their shinki to come along, because who knows where his own is. They'll take care of this. Meanwhile he's just going to keep watching it wave around, taking careful steps back as it keeps trying to encroach on his space.]

I will congratulate whoever created you, and then maybe shove them out a window. You are, my dear tentacle thing, one ugly motherfucker.

how could I not go with the literal worst?

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2017-01-12 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Natsuru's just an innocent bystander here. ... Okay, actually, he's another shinki on this mission, and she's already seen her fair share of offensively cute-acting girls with cat ears and personalities ranging from innocent virgin to complete tsundere, or cheesily romantic men ready to gently teach an inexperienced soul. But nothing could prepare her for what she runs into next.

Well, she ran into Nari first, technically. While it's also true that nothing could have prepared her for that, this goes even more for the beast of many indecently-shaped tentacles.]


Wh-Wha-?!

[Instinctively, she clutches the nearest person's arm. That nearest person happens to be Nari, a complete stranger.]

What is that?!
nolittlesecret: (8)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-12 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Whoa. Suddenly there's a girl. Clinging. That sure is also a shock of blue hair.

Must be a local.

Nari looks at her before turning back to the creature with a shrug.]


Someone's idea of a good time?

[Which... sadly might just be true. Even if it were to sound awful to some, he is genuinely curious as to what those nubs do. Are they poisonous? Paralyzing? Just there for extra pleasure? Not that he wants to personally find out...] Maybe it only goes after virgins? Which....... I'm actually not sure if I am one or not.
thirdbeauty: (Why would you...?)

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2017-01-12 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
S-Seriously?!

[She is not a tentacle hentai person. She's not unaware of it being a thing, but she is definitely not into this idea! She clings a little tighter to Nari now.]

Gross...!

W-We just have to get the thing causing it, right? So we can just...

[She flinches, at the waving of a tentacle too close for her personal comfort.]
nolittlesecret: (4)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-12 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He's not a hentai fan already. This has effectively killed his curiosity. For the time being.]

I'm not a god, so I'll take any idea you've got to stop this thing. [Actually, can he do anything?] We could always throw things at it and see if that works.
thirdbeauty: (Nervous)

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2017-01-12 08:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She relaxes her grip on him finally, though she's taking a step back away from the tentacle beast.]

Ugh, neither am I.

[Not that she wants to be named by another god, even in an emergency.]

I have some powers, but I don't know how useful they'll be!

[Not that she's going to have any choice, because one of those tentacles whips out to try and wrap around her leg. And she lets out the most terrified shriek as she dodges, with notably more agility than a normal girl not dressed for combat in any sense should have.]
nolittlesecret: (11)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-12 08:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes a step back with her, glad to have her let him go. Who know girls were strong enough to make his arm start going numb...]

Then why not use the-[That tentacle got a little too close!]-m and find out?!

[It's not fair that she's agile and he's not! He's not so lucky, tentacle wrapping around his leg and knocking him down.] Now would be fucking nice! This things gonna.... it's gonna do something that I am not consenting to!

[Really gotta work on the battle talk.]
thirdbeauty: (Determination)

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2017-01-12 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
[She yelps in surprise, when she realizes her dodge made it just grab for him instead.]

O-Okay! Hang on, it's...!

[Ugh, it needs to stop wriggling so much so she can aim! Finally, she gets a clear shot, and holds out her open palm. A fireball launches from her hand, striking the tentacled creature dead center.

It might not damage it much, but it gets it to loosen its grip on Nari, at least.]


Hurry up!

[She blasts it with another fireball to keep it from making another grab at him, while he presumably joins her in attempting to escape.]
nolittlesecret: (5)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-12 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
[At least the creature doesn't make any noises when it's hit, but it does wriggle around more violently. Nari lets out a few panicked yelps as the tentacles whip a little to close to his head. He uses his arms as a shield and takes a few blows before the thing lets go enough for him to get up. It's a struggle as he tries to dodge the tentacles, but hey, he's out of its warpath.

He limps a bit as he tries to run to safety.]


That thing had a way stronger grip than you. [How convenient that there's an alley he can duck into.] Hey, do you know how to check for a broken bone or sprained ankle?
thirdbeauty: (Wha-?!)

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2017-01-13 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just what every girl wants to hear. Someone comparing literally anything about her with a tentacle beast.

She follows him into the alley, keeping a watch out for any pursuit. She's the one with long-range abilities (that they know of) here, after all.]


Huh?

[Distracted from her lookout, she turns to him with a confused look.]

I think you'd be able to tell if you were hurt that badly...
nolittlesecret: (12)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-14 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a lack of brain-to-mouth filter sometimes.

He gives her a look.]


I'm asking because I don't think I can.

[He figures it's supposed to feel sharp? It's just annoying to him to have to limp.]
thirdbeauty: (Distracted from texting)

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2017-01-14 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that they seem to be away from the creature, she looks back at him. And notices he does seem to be favoring one leg.]

Wait... you don't feel that?

[That does not sound good.]

daring drinks

[personal profile] peaceify 2017-01-13 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Eh--? It's not too bad, is it?

[ ... She hasn't tried it, but it does look kind of weird... She's not sure she wants to, though. ]
nolittlesecret: (13)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-13 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks right at her with a deadpan expression.]

I would rather drink rubbing alcohol than whatever the fuck this was.
peaceify: (hime12)

[personal profile] peaceify 2017-01-13 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ ???? ]

Maybe we should tell the owner that it's not so good!
nolittlesecret: (3)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-13 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think the owner cares. These are experimental drinks, dearie.

[So it's all gonna be gross.]
peaceify: (hime37)

[personal profile] peaceify 2017-01-13 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
But not all of them can be bad!

[ OPTIMISTIC... ]
nolittlesecret: (11)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-13 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
.... wanna bet?

[He snaps at the bartender. They get two grey colored shots put in front of them.]

No asking what it is until we both drink it.

[1...2..3... and he downs the shot OH MY FUCK REGRETS it tastes like charcoal cherry nyquil]
peaceify: (hime37)

[personal profile] peaceify 2017-01-13 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ ??? ]

Ehehe... I don't think I should drink that!
nolittlesecret: (8)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-13 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Oh come now. [Hello there British accent.] A fine lady like yourself can't afraid of a little bit of spirits. It's only one drink.

[Back to how he was talking before.] It's gross, but hey, if you don't want it, I'm sure I can just hand it to some normie.
redotiertwo: (amusement)

as tempting as the hentai one is, drinks

[personal profile] redotiertwo 2017-01-13 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, blaming the bartender is one thing, but you are kinda the guy who chose to drink that shit and they wouldn't be making it if people weren't stepping up. Gotta split the blame for this unholy abomination.

[And that remark comes from a neon orange bird-human-ghost combination who's floating by in a seemingly very casual manner, not even using his wings as he floats over the scene. He hasn't been drinking himself, especially since he'd probably send half the group off screaming if he was seen properly, but the entire situation is too hilarious to avoid.

He may or may not have situationally appropriate popcorn held in one talon.]
nolittlesecret: (4)

[personal profile] nolittlesecret 2017-01-14 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. In the end getting drunk just requires a ton of alcohol. Even if it tastes awful and now I feel like never eating bacon ever again. Or at least not anywhere near milk.

[No more spaghetti Carbonara for him. Like ever. He shudders as another drink is put in front of him, this one looking like lemon pie filling.

He looks at his new "drinking" companion with a raised eyebrow.]
You a fan of self-tanning lotions?
