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.

If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!

Daring Drinks

[Hello there, adult-looking-person, enjoy the small hand tugging on your clothes. There's a young girl, seeming to not even be in her double digits yet, and she gives her best smile.]

Hello! I was just wondering, could you do something for me?

Frog Friend

EEK!

[Anyone who hunts down the source of the startled shriek will find poor Wendy, laid flat out on the floor with a couple of those large creepy frogs on top of her. Goo is positively seeping all over her, and she's flailing a little ineffectually in her attempt to push herself up.]

Someone, help me get this revolting things off!

Horrifying Hentai

[Wow. That certainly is a bunch of tentacles filling up this poor guy's apartment, making it impossible for him to get inside again. Someone should help him.]

Wow.... Hee, so that's his kind of taste, huh? If it's from something he watches, he should know it would turn out well in the end, so why not be a little more adventurous?

[That someone just won't be her, standing nearby and snickering into her hand.]

[ooc: For the canon unfamiliar, Wendy only looks like child because of a physical disorder. She's actually an adult in terms of age, and mentally so.]

Daring Drinks

[Alcohol is, of course, a point of pride for the Battle-Maiden, she who kept company with the Aesir in Asgard. The Valkyrie's interest in these new drinks, then, had been mostly out of pride.]

[Her eminently stoic persona, though, appears to have cracked just the slightest as she regards the mug in her hands with an elegantly-arched eyebrow.]

Why is it smoking?

Horrifying Hentai

[The Valkyrie materializes in a ripple of energy, landing lightly on the ground as she lifts her sword.] Ayakashi! Your presence shall be suffered here no longer! I --

[The stares throw her off. The stares of everyone assembled, who are regarding her not with the awe and reverence due a goddess of battle, but of wide-eyed shock and no small amount of perversion.]

[Lenneth spares a glance down at herself, and her 'new' battle uniform -- a sailor fuku, which is both alarmingly tight around the chest and threatens to reveal her choice in undergarments with the slightest motion of her legs.]

...I am not this sort of goddess.

Frog Friend

[Dealing with the frogs is a game, and an amusing one: Dust draws the attention of the nearest one, baits it into leaping for him, then dodges backwards in a burst of speed that leaves the frog landing haplessly where Dust had stood moments before, while the Sen-Mithrarin flips back to his feet a few yards away.]

[When the frog bounds again, Dust is ready, darting away again to lead the creature slowly away from others.]

[Problem, though: What's the next step? He could probably use some help dealing with the frog... without killing it. The sword at his side would handle that job easily enough, so clearly he doesn't consider it an option.]

Electric Eels

[He isn't INTENTIONALLY showing off, but there's Dust, perched lightly on the rim of the aquarium tank so he has a perfect view down into the water below.]

I can get the eels out, if you need me to so you can do something about them... or at the least, we could get them into a smaller tank.

{D A R I N G D R I N K S

Uh--- no thanks I don't... drink.

[ Mikleo politely pushes the drinks that's forced at him away. It's been a constant chain since he entered this part of the world. He doesn't know the whole history but it seems like these people were trying to rope more customers and they really wanted him to try the drinks they made. However, he doesn't know how much tolerance he had for alcohol much less know what it is. The stuff already had a strange smell that made him slightly nauseated but the most important part was trying to get away unscathed. ]

I SAYS YOU GOT TO DRINK THIS BEFORE YOU LEAVE ONIICHAN!

NOT IF I HAVE ANY SAY IN THIS. HE'S MINE FIRST!!!!!!!

[ The second guy shoved the first guy out of the way. Mikleo was trying not to make any faces as he casually steps back. ]

I really should be on my way.

[ Not on their watch apparently. They're jumping at him now. Help a meebo out? ]

{F R O G F R I E N D

You've got to be kidding me.

[ Another one of these events in another district? Really? First angry bar owners and now he's facing a large freaking frog. What a day this turned out to be. He sighs loudly as he moves to look at the frogs but of course they weren't going to let them examine them in peace.

The first one decided that it was ready to slobber Mikleo in slime and other frog fluids. He's jumping straight at the Water Seraph ]

H-HEYYYY!!!!!!!!!

{H O R R I F Y I N G H E N T A I

[ Mikleo was-- well running.

He's running really fast because he's being chased by a bunch of freaky tentacles. He's not going to stop and whoever was in the way, will probably either get knocked over or dragged along because he wasn't going to elt them sit there and suffer what was being shoveled at him. ]

Honestly, why does this keep happening!

[ He dodged another tentacle before rounding a corner and almost running straight into a cute girl with pigtails who tries to jump out at him too. Another dodge and he's back on the run. ]

Gaseous Old Masters

Hey! H-hey! I'll -- uuuuuurp -- don't you recognize a god of martial arts when you see one?!

[Well, probably not? The flailing old man sure LOOKS like just another victim of the mischievous spirit... except the Hawaiian shirt is pretty passe and he's wearing a turtle shell on his back for some reason. He's definitely not doing a good job of quelling the ayakashi, that's for sure -- especially as he rips one out so powerfully that his hips thrust forward and he bangs his crotch into a chair.]

[The invincible old master collapses into the fetal position and shudders for a bit. And farts some more.]

[This isn't his worse day, he hasn't wound up in a toilet yet.]

HELLO Hentai!

[From around the corner, two massive jets of blood erupt outwards, and a poor wayward catgirl screeches and yowls as she scrambles away from the twin bursts.]

Hey! Wait up! H-how's about we exchange email addresses? [One hand clamped firmly on his nose to stop the bleeding, the Turtle Hermit scrambles after the hormonal fantasy of a sex object. A large tentacle reaches out of the sewers to snare him, but without even looking, let alone breaking stride, Roshi kicks it so hard it goes limp.] Or we could just skip to the good paaaaart!

: Frogfriend :

[ Yusuke isn't really sure why this is so much fun....but it really,really is. He's also pretty sure playing hacky sack with living things isn't nice... but the frogs don't seem to mind? ]

Man, you guys are pretty hyper!

[ The slime's a bit gross but dodging their leaps and tossing them around isn't getting any less fun and hell it's not like he had anything else to do. And if he sometimes has to use cars or building to dodge well. It's just a game? ]

: Hentai :

What the fuck kinda porn are you crazy assholes reading?

[ So far he's been punching in the faces of some pretty grotesque and Massive creatures.... with things in places that didn't always make sense....but you pretty much figure are exactly are what you were praying they were not. He's moved the battle outside of the building just to give him some damn Space. Because he is NOT getting cornered by some sneaky fuck... urgh... Just NO. ]

Seriously, get a girlfriend or something this is...gross..

[ That better be spit....please let it be spit? ]

i. Daring Drinks

[ Two drinks are promptly shoved in front of him, while the rival bartenders wait eagerly for him to choose. ]

......

[ Otabek frowns at them, clearly disliking their approach and would have left already if he hadn't accidentally offered his help when they approached him in "dire need of help". The skater's frown deepens as he looks at their questionable concoctions. ]

Is that an egg?

ii. Electric Eels

[ Otabek is given the assignment and quickly clears out the people. As the last stragglers leave the area, he catches sight of what he assumes is another sent by the Heavens. ]

Are you going to help me or not?

iii. Frog Friend

[ When the frogs knock over someone up ahead, Otabek moves to check on them. The frogs disperse at his quick steps, giving him room to stop and offer them a hand up. ]

Are you hurt?

iv. Wild Card

[ ooc: hit him up. ota. ]

Daring Drinks

[It doesn’t matter if Lavi’s legal or not (what counts as legal here, anyway?) because he’s going to graciously accept a drink from one of the people passing out the drinks.

It looks strange, almost enough to make anyone second-guess themselves in deciding whether or not they want to drink it.

A reason why Lavi slips up to a random person, a smile wide on his face as he hands the drink over.]

Here, give this one a try.

Frog Friend

[Frogs.

Why are there frogs?

Lavi quickly steps to the side when a particularly large frog, one that looked particularly poisoned if memory served him right, tried to jump on him.

He staggered a bit when he accidentally slipped on some goo, a faint look of disgust masking his face before he turns his attention to the frog, which seemed to be eying him none-too-kindly.

That’s his cue to leave, so pardon anyone he happens to run into as he rushes away from the frog.]

Wildcard

[ooc; anything goes!]

Edited 2017-01-04 00:27 (UTC)

[ It's not hard to pick out the victim in this strange development, which has the motorist coming to a stop in front of him. ]

Get on.

Edited 2017-01-04 00:32 (UTC)

MOVE!

[And that is a very tiny figure smashing her feet into the back of Mikleo's knees.]

[People go down when you do that, right? Wendy is pretty sure about that- it seems like something that just makes sense, like how the sky is blue or whatever. Simple logic. She's short enough that the frog's leap will go clear over her head and, if Mikleo goes down, over his too.]

[...Well. That's a pretty impressive maneuver for someone Wendy had been prepared to write off as a perverted old geezer. Keeping far away from the creepy stuff around, she pauses from on top of a nearby garden wall at the sight.]

You know, old man, I just don't think you're her type.

[Frankly, it's probably Wendy's fault that Yusuke has to deal with this at all, since she'd gone running at the first sign of creepy perverted bullshit for someone who looked like he knew what he was doing.]

[And, to be fair, he's holding up pretty well! From where she's hiding from around a corner, she cups her hands and yells out encouragement.]

You can do it! You're a big tough guy- well, you're a tough guy, so don't give up!

[Since she has the appearance of a small child, Wendy hasn't been offered a drink even though she's been tagging along Otabek's side for a little while now. Still, that doesn't mean she's not here anyway, standing on the tips of her toes as she blinks at the two drinks.]

...It's definitely an egg. You're not actually going to drink that, are you...?

Daring Drinks

[He tried to refuse the first drink out of politeness, and the second and third out of some innate sense that it wouldn't be a good idea to let himself have too much more.]

[By drink number... seven, probably...? Yuuri has taken to giving the bartenders from one of the bars enthusiastic advice on their experiments. And since they're his new best friends (as of drink "one less than probably-seven"), he's helping them out with their mission to get everyone to try their new masterpieces!]

Hey! Yeah, yeah, you -- you look like you'd like this, come over here and try it! 's reeeeeeally good, my friend over here made it and it's got... um, what's in this one again...? Oh! Champagne, and some kind of berry juice, and mint, I think? It's good, you've gotta give it a try!

Electric Eels

[Yuuri glances nervously around the aquarium. He knows people can't see them and all, but he still feels like he's going to get into trouble for sneaking onto the property like this, even if it's to help...]

[What are they even going to do about this, anyway?]

Maybe we could... put them into a different tank somehow? More separate from the other ones?

Frog Friend

[Yuuri is just walking around on the Near Shore, minding his own business, trying to have a normal day, when suddenly there is a big, weird frog jumping right at his face!]

[He may or may not scream a little bit as he gets knocked flat on his butt, by which it must be understood that he totally does. Yuuri's dignity is not having its finest hour right now.]

Gaseous Grandpas

[What a weird prayer. Maybe there's something going on with the diet the residents have been getting fed? On that supposition, he sneaks into the kitchen to see if he can dig up some old meal plans, but as he looks over them...]

Nothing's really standing out. That's so strange...

[Is there an ayakashi right behind him while he's poring over the kitchen manager's notes? Why, yes, but Yuuri is far too absorbed in his investigation to have noticed it yet...]

Horrifying Hentai

[Yuuri opens the door to a low-rent apartment, ready to try his best to help his god save the day!]

[...Then he stops dead, stares for a good ten seconds with his face cycling through a few different stages of shock and embarrassment, each one a deeper shade of pink than the last...]

[And slams the door shut, scrambling back from it until he nearly falls off the balcony.]

[N O P E. Not today, not ever, no thank you!]

[The shameless pass off earns some laughter nearby, and Wendy grins up at Lavi if he looks over to her.]

Not much of a fan of the look or the smell of it?

[And for that suggestion, Wendy gives him an exasperated look. For someone who has the face of a child, it's impressively judging.]

Are you electric proof? Because I'm not.

[ Otabek looks down at the girl, his frown less severe when it settles on her. ]

I said I'd help.

[ Which means, yes, he is most definitely going to drink that egg steeped in gin. ]

Edited 2017-01-04 00:50 (UTC)

[ Welp! That sure is a little kid! ]

Go home, Idiot! Don't freaking stick around! This ain't good for your eyes!

[ Oops, that er... thing got a little too close to his face. How about you pay attention to the Rape Monsters. ]

Daring Drinks

[Myfanwy should probably be helping to pass out these drinks. The bar she's at has a prominently posted good-luck charm with her god's name written all over it, after all. She is probably obligated to assist.

On the other hand she's had a very long day that started with hearing that she was dead and a god was going to use her as a combat accessory from now on, and so as far as she's concerned this is a very good evening to sink into a leather couch in a place with too much neon and drink something that contains at least eight different types of alcohol and an umbrella.

Also a pick with fruit.

And an olive.

She takes a big gulp, trying desperately not to taste it, and thinks free sample, free sample to herself as she swallows.]

... Huh.

[Rosemary, vodka, Kalamata olives and orange liqueur... actually works?

A little?

She takes a second, more cautious sip, rolling it across her tongue before she declares in tones of wonder:] That's not so bad!

Electric Eels

[Someone on the other side of the room is getting CPR and everyone is shouting. Myfanwy, secure in her invisibility, stares through the damp front of the aquarium tank at the eerily blue-lit water inside. There are several moray eels in the tank, snapping at the other fish as they convulse, go limp, and float up towards the surface, and she can practically feel the weird snap of electricity in organs that shouldn't be doing that.

She can feel it, in fact. Not even "practically." It's like biting down on aluminum foil, an uncomfortable, unnatural sizzle that raises the hairs on her arms and shivers around the fish in electric coils.]

Stop that, will you?

[She reaches out, not sure what she's doing, and grabs the weird sizzling parts of the eel with her mind. It just makes so much sense, somehow.

For a moment, she feels electric, and sways forward, about to go face-first into the glass as she bends her mind to figuring out the electricity and shutting it down before the eels -- and half the patrons -- wind up dead.]

[Yuuri sighs, because it does sound pretty stupid when she puts it like that, doesn't it?]

I didn't mean we should just grab them with our hands... there's got to be something we could use to grab them that wouldn't conduct it. Something made of rubber, maybe? There should probably be something like that around, since it's used for so many waterproof things...

...

[ There's a really long moment of silence as Mikleo stares incredulously at the man that has some sort of moving vehicle. What on earth is that?! How does it work and why the hell was Mikleo more concerned with te bike then getting on?! ]

Ri-Right!!!

[ He snapped back into reality as he quickly jumped onto the vehicle. He'll survive somehow right? Right?! ]

You certainly have good timing-- Otabek. Let's go before there's more coming.

ACK!

[ The tiny figure smashing her feet into the back of his knees causes the Water Seraph to topple forward and face planted into the ground in an almost comical way. It takes him a moment to realize a little girl had just kicked him and knocked him over.

WHY WERE GIRLS SO VIOLENT GOD DAMN IT?!!!!! ]

You could have done it more gently can't you?!!!

[ He shouted at her when he finally managed to get back to his feet. There's a small welt forming at the bridge his nose though. Face plants hurt. ]

Edited 2017-01-04 01:02 (UTC)

[Otabek, no! She's trying to help you not making questionable life choices! She tries to reach up in an attempt to stop him.]

But there has to be other ways to help, right? Like finding someone else to taste it, who doesn't have taste buds.

Well, you know what they say -- hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard!

[Is that really a philosophy that should be applied to sexual harassment?]
