TEST DRIVE # 13



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.



Illegal Irritations

Nothing supernatural about this one, there are just some guys sell illegal drugs and weaponry in some of the back alleys of Tokyo. They might solicit you to try and get your business or you might just happen upon them targeting someone else. Either way, are you really okay with letting this go on in your city?

Jumping Jellyfish

For some strange reason, a bunch of jellyfish have taken to literally jumping out of the ocean and all over the beaches. They seem to be scared of something in the water, but be that as it may, they're scaring away all the beach tourism! Quick, figure out how to get them back in the water!

Kooky Kickoff

A brand new store is opening up and, as part of their grand opening, they want people to perform for their potential customers! And they're just dragging people off of the streets and shoving them into ridiculous, off-brand character costumes to do it. Whether you're part of the show or watching others make fools of themselves, it promises to be a good time.

Lovely Lingerie

There's a great, new brand of lingerie being sold in Akihabara that is all the rage right now. They're stylish and sexy and come in all shapes, sizes, and colors! There's even some that are themed after popular shows. But people who are buying them keep winding up missing. Coincidence?

Manic Molting

So many birds are molting on the spot for no reason, shedding feathers all over the streets, on peoples' cars, and in any space they can get into. It's really not their fault, but darn if it's not making things difficult to do with all these feathers around! Either help clean up or figure out how to stop the mass molting!

Ignis Scientia | Final Fantasy XV

[sergeantnospecs]

[Illegal BS? Nah Son!]

[To say he was irritated about being cornered was an understatement. He was nothing sort of infuriated and it showed in the way he stared at the man before him, not at all intimidated--at least not as intimidated as he probably should be. Even without his companion, his God, with him, Ignis wasn't that easily put off by things and the fact that this was going on? And so openly?]

You realize this is illegal, yes?

[His voice was dry as he said it, absently clenching and relaxing his hands as his eyes narrowed just the slightest bit.]

Of course you do. Why else would you be doing it.

[The man sneered, ready to say something but Ignis wasn't about to hear it. His hand lashed out to grab the man by the front of his shirt to haul him close, ignoring the other two down the alleyway as he leveled the man with a hard stare even as he struggled to break Ignis's grip.]

You're lucky it was just me that came across you.


[FEATHERS]

...This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

[Ignis shook his head as he gazed around at the mess of feathers covering everything, looking rather miffed by the whole thing. It struck a chord in him that he couldn't quite place and the feeling was brushed aside even as his hands twitched at his sides.]

Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? [The question was asked at whoever might be close by, the young man kneeling and picking up a couple of the feathers out of sheer curiosity.]

[Too many illegal dealings, hm?]

[icephotobombing]

[Perhaps it was fortunate that he ignored the two further down the alley, perhaps it was not. Yet he was not the only one who had come across this scene. Still, for now, the young shinki seemed to have it under control, so she didn't intervene just yet.

Her attention instead falls on the two men by her side, not yet aware of the god hidden in their midst. Though even for this early in the year, the sudden wind certainly was chilly, wasn't it?]

Fran Madaraki | Franken Fran | God

[frankenfran]

Illegal Irritations

Huh...? Well, I don't really have a use for that sort of thing, but... If you could get me some other things, I'd be happy to pay for them. [She begins to list some medical-grade drugs, like morphine and the like, and smiles cheerfully]

None of the hospitals are willing to give me any-- Huh? Oh no, it's not for me. It's for the operations, of course.

[Considering that what she's asking for is too much of a risk to get, the people decline and tell her off for wasting their time, but Fran doesn't seem upset by that so much as the fact they won't do it at all.

So she turns to the nearest person and gives a little wave to get their attention] How about you? I really need anesthesia the most, I think...

[Kooky Kickoff. Warning for mild body horror/eye horror]

[Fran's really just trying to avoid being grabbed herself, casually shoving bystanders in the way so they can be forced into some sit instead. Dammit man, she's a doctor not an entertainer!

Besides, she's answered a prayer not too long ago that hadn't ended so well for her, and her body is still recovering!

Case in point, when she's suddenly violently jostled from behind, making her stumble forward and... her eyeball pops right out.] Oops! Excuse me, excuse me...

[She claps a hand over the socket and is on hands and knees now, accidentally tripping people as she tries to track down the wayward eye. Maybe it's come to rest by your foot, maybe you're one of the people accidentally tripping over her as she crawls on the ground. Either way the eye has some good luck to avoid being stepped on this long]

Excuse me, please don't move so suddenly, I need to find it--! [She could always get a new one somewhere but, like, it's her eye thanks]

[Manic Molting 1.0]

Hmm, this is strange. [Fran crouches down, picking up a feather to examine as she thinks out loud] Birds don't molt this much under normal circumstances. Waterfowl lose all their flightfeathers at once, but this isn't the case here. They're supposed to just be replacing damaged feathers with new ones, if they lose all these feathers they're not going to be able to fly right.

Is something stressing them out...?

[She stands in time to watch a bird slam into a building due to losing too many of these feathers and it falls to the ground, dead. Fran's eyes widen in dismay and she hurries over, picking it p in her bare hands]

Oh no, the poor thing! [She turns the bird over in her hands and blinks away a few tears, sighing deeply.] Well, I'm sure i could use this... Maybe i can find out if there's something inside causing this.

[She casually pulls a scalpel from her coat pocket and looks around] Excuse me? Is there a lab or something near-by I could get into? Just for a few minutes.

[This isn't suspicious at all]

[Manic Molting 2.0 Warning for er, bird body horror and surgery?]

[It's a bit of an epidemic now, birds falling from the sky and dying from lack of feathers. It's a shame, but thankfully Fran is on the case! There are a couple of such dead birds in front of Fran in the mouth of an alley-- thanks to the whole 'gods not seen by humans' thing, Fran isn't really worried about being seen.]

Geez, I really can't let this go like this! Begin the operation! [Wait where did those two extra arms come from?? And the scalpels and--??

Fran wastes no time in mutilating the three birds to use the undamaged parts in the least-damaged bird body.

move along nothing to see here]

MM 2.0!

[sergeantnospecs]

[Ignis had seen quite a few strange things since he'd ended up in this place but this definitely took the cake.

He had been attempting to find the source of the problem along with several others, scouring the area for the being that was causing the plague when he'd stumbled across...this.

His stomach churned some as he watched, unable to look away as much as his mind screamed that he should.]

What--what are you doing???

noctis | final fantasy xv ( shinki )

[alternas]

KOOKY KICKOFF.

( it's pretty much mascot mayhem. for some reason, noctis here is dressed as a giant yellow bird... thank goodness the head of the costume is more than enough to hide his identity. he doesn't quite know how he wound up in this predicament to begin with, but well... if it was really going to help, then... )

You, uh, won't believe the deals we have for our grand opening sale! They're ch-ch-cheeeeeep! ( he strikes a pose, flapping his wings. and then, quietly, after a moment... )

I can't believe I just said that...

JUMPING JELLYFISH.

( where else had noct been but at the beach when this had all started to go down? of course, he may have been casting from the pier at the time, but the crowds of people and jellies were, surprisingly, enough to grab his attention. )

What? What do you mean they're just leaping out of the water? ( that had been the answer to his question at least. looking out into the horizon he wondered what would be causing the wildlife to just try to up and leave like that. come to think of it, he hadn't been faring any better in trying to get a bite today, either.

his eyes narrowed as he looked out... ) Something's not right out there. Do you... see that?

DARING DRINKS.

What? No, I'm... ( this is noctis, leaning in to see just what exactly is in the glass this person is trying to pawn off on him. it looks horrifying, some kind of bright green colour and he could swear there was some sort of mist coming off of the top...

that probably wasn't natural, right? his hands go up defensively, to put space between himself and the liquid offender. ) I'm really not thirsty. Trust me.

FROG FRIENDS.

( you'd think the giant frogs were bad enough. you'd think, but you'd be wrong. noctis has actually discovered something even worse than just trying to avoid them, or being knocked over by them...

so when you see him today, you might just notice how thoroughly grossed out he looks as he maintains his arm height at his torso. )

Yech, I'm all sticky and gross... ( that's right. he's been licked. and the guilty party seems to be coming up behind him still, which has him jumping back. ) Cut it out, will you? What do I look like a giant fly or something? Give me a break!

WILDCARD!

( two prompts are from the previous tdm which i posted to here but i am down for any of these also! hit me up for anything else! a fight scene? i'm down for whatever! )

noctis I'm so sorry...........

[rememberher]

[ Did he just

Yes, yes he did. ]

Ch-ch-cheap...

[ For a moment, the slight blond stops and stares, looking almost befuddled by what he said. Then all at once her shoulders start to shake, and she clamps a hand over her mouth to keep from laughing. Because that pose, that pun... ]

Gladiolus Amicitia | Final Fantasy XV - God

[swornshield]

1. [Illegal]

Weapons Gladio had no issue with. If anyone was so bold as to try to sell him something, the God would gladly take the time to examine their wares and talk shop, so to speak, with the vendors. Why shouldn't everyone had access to a good weapon?

Drugs, however, we a whole separate issue. Himself, Gladio could just shrug it off, and it wasn't like anyone was going to try to push anything on him as physically intimidating as he was. The issue was, however, that these goons had an innocent who was clearly in no way interested in what they had to offer backed into a corner.

"Let him go," The large, tattooed man said in the most intimidating voice he had, standing a few meters away looking rather intimidating. But of course the low-lifes wanted to challenge him. Of course. It was almost funny how easily he could dodge each and every one of their attacks, make them run into each other and redirect their momentum so they ran into walls. Obviously, he was well trained, whereas they were not. The fight ended as the leader of the gang called for his crew to flee, and Gladio was left inspecting the one large cut on his forearm one of them had managed to land with a switchblade.


2. [Jellyfish]

Jellyfish... Ocean life was something Gladio didn't have much experience with, but he was decently aware of the biology and habits of other types of wildlife. Aware enough to know this was a troublesome behavior, but what to do about it?

Well for now, getting the poor creatures back into the water was the best he could do. He winced and hissed as the jellyfish stung his calloused hands, but persevered and helped the poor beasts back into the water to be swept further out. "If you're going to help," he said offhandedly to a bystander, "you might want to get gloves."


3. [Kickoff]

A costume. Honestly when the woman had first asked her victim to try on a costume to advertise their new shop, Gladio had only agreed because she was cute and he wanted more opportunities to flirt. There was no way he could have foreseen what she intended to do to him.

The once-proud knight stood before the crowd, a bit shocked at how soundly he'd been roped into this, wearing cat ears upon his head, a cat tail swinging behind him, and large soft cat paws, all a matching set. To add insult to injury, there was a frilly apron that barely fit around his wide frame. But there he stood, poised to dance to the energetic music that was playing over the speakers. Well, this would be humiliating. Gladio's only hope was no one he knew was present to witness his shame, as his honor wouldn't allow him to back out of fulfilling his promise to the beautiful young woman.


4. [Wildcard]

Want a prompt I didn't cover, or want to try something new? Hit me up!

Illegal because two big burly dudes is more fun than one

[earthshakin]

Terra had been going to approach the dealers when he spotted their target, but a man at the other end of the alley had gotten there first and seemed to have it under control. Still, when the dealers came his way, Terra "casually" blocked one escape route so they would run directly into some nearby cops on their break.

Good riddance.

"How bad did they get you?"

Kid Loki | Marvel Comics | God

[changeanddie]

[Kooky Kickoff]

[Honestly, this job doesn't seem so bad for Loki. Sure, he'd appreciate another much cooler outfit, perhaps Thor or Captain America or Wolverine. Mind you, even Elsa from Frozen. But instead, he's wearing a cheap cosplay imitation of Nick Wilde from Zootopia.

He hopes no one tags him as a furry. His Internet reputation would be forever ruined.

But since he's here and he needs to offer a show, he just picks the most ideal viral tune from his smartphone playlist to attract any passerby. He does a little dorky dance and sings alone as well, while he hands out pamphlets.]

♪ We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just want to tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna-- ♫

[Yup, he just did. He's not sorry at all! You can ask him to change the song, though? He has plenty of bad memes in his karaoke repertoire.]

[Manic Molting]

[Loki is currently trying not to have a nervous breakdown since the black and white feathers all over his short pre-pubescent person bring him awful memories.]

Magpies. Pray tell, why did it have to be magpies?

[He's considering the use of matches and burn them all to the ground. Or look for a large mortal-made vacuum. Machines are, after all, amazing.]

Kooky Kickoff -- feel free to let me know if telepathy would work or not

[volksdaemon]

[Schuldig's actually humming the tune as he approaches, and leans against the wall of the building like he's got nothing better to do. Truth is one of his followers owns a game store down the street a block and he heard this commotion.]

Hope they pay well for that kind of thing, considering all of the other things someone from the Far Shore could be doing with their time.

[His nasal voice and European accent probably sounds incredibly out of place in Japan, but even he gets away with being easily forgotten as all Far Shore people eventually do, so he doesn't mind speaking aloud just now.]

lux crownguard | league of legends | shinki

[rememberher]

光 o1.

[ There were certain advantages that came with being dead. One of which being that it was really easy to get around without someone noticing, at least so long as they were mortal. Fellow shinki or various gods, however, eh, well that was a whole other thing altogether. Although, surprisingly this light-based servant to a hobo god seemed to be doing better than most newbies with staying unnoticed, keeping to obscured shadows and generally keeping up.

Don't ask her how, she's not actually sure, but it's weirdly kind of fun?

Also the law is the law, and while she isn't up on the latest provisions, Lux was pretty sure that selling arms on the streets probably broke at least a few of them. Give or take. Which means she was more than happy to stick her nose entirely too far into this, and maaaay have been tracking this particular group for the better part of a week now, on and off. She's not obsessed, really.

(Okay maybe she is a little, but they're breaking the law!!!)

But seriously, what is this cute blond thing doing in the worst parts of Tokyo, and how long is she going to go without actually getting spotted? Besides, what's a lone shinki going to do? Watching some kind of deal taking place in a back alley, keeping low but attentive, it looked like this tiny blond was about to go in, or was at least trying to find an excuse... ]


光 o2.

[ Understanding that certain restrictions would make it difficult for anyone to really notice or remember her if she was in a less cumbersome attire (like the two maids currently standing beside her, wearing outfits that breath a lot better than the costume she was shoved into, Lux still had to wonder... why this.

The money, that was why. Let's be real here. Also because she wasn't the type of person that couldn't say no when someone grabbed her from the street (how did they even notice her passing???) and practically begged for her help with such a distraught look. It was her weakness.

And so, dancing near the Shibuya scramble, bouncing from foot to foot and doing anything imaginable to get attention, this shinki literally shook her money maker. And getting far less attention than the somewhat scantily-clad maids handing out leaflets next to her.

She knew why, but gods her ego... Also why did they have to be so much cuter than her, that really wasn't fair. ]


光 o3.

[ After dancing for about a half hour, she was finally given a break and, shuffling off behind the shop she was advertising for, leaned against a wall, bent over and—

Did that giant rabbit just take it's head off?! ]

Haaah... How do they make this look so easy?

[ Tucking the oversized head under her arm, the shinki stayed bent over, exhaling deeply. A bit red in the face, blond hair tied into a bun and sticking slightly to the back of her neck, she didn't seem to notice that she wasn't alone and, standing upright again, she tipped her chin up, looking off into space, then— ]

—!

[ Saw that she wasn't alone and floundered on the spot, quickly slamming her head back down and making a very stiff pose. YOU SAW NOTHING, FRIEND! ]


光 WILDCARD.

[ Got some ideas? Want to do something that wasn't covered here? Hit me up! ]

1

[secrowtary]

[Speaking of lurking in the shadows...someone's been following the group and Lux for quite some time without revealing their presence, simply watching as events unfold.

And that person happens to be Hibiki, no less. Actually, it's his first time observing these shady people, so he still has to learn what this is all about. However, it's not that difficult to put two and two together, especially when he ends up following them into a dark alley in some obscure district of Tokyo. The purpose of this peculiar meeting becomes even more obvious when one of the men pulls out a package wrapped in newspapers.

While his intention isn't to scare the girl, he can't let her approach this group, which she's been planning to do, from what he has seen.]

I wouldn't recommend going alone.

[Keeping his voice down, Hibiki shifts his gaze from the people to Lux. He's just a few steps behind her, so if she's going to do something reckless, he may try stopping her.]

Lenneth Valkyrie | Valkyrie Profile | God

[nibelungvalesti]

A Sick Bird is Illegal

[Heaven knows what these ruffians thought they were doing when they approached and encircled the small, quiet woman who had wandered into their back alley. Perhaps they intended to make a sale. Perhaps they intended to make her a sale. Whatever the case, she is in the center of their group, surrounded.]

[She waits only for one to reach out to seize her arm, long enough to determine to her own satisfaction that yes, these humans are reprehensible -- and then she slaps away the encroaching hand with a force strong enough to knock the man back a few steps.]

It is not the duty of a Valkyrie to judge mortals before they have passed on. [Her voice is clear, carrying, and hard as stone, as her Asgardian armor coalesces around her and her blade forms in her hand.] But I wear a second mantle now.

[...She is probably going to go full-on Judge Dredd on these criminals, if someone doesn't stop her...]

Koo Koo For Kickoffs

[So here is the Valkyrie, or at least as near as anyone call tell it's her -- the large bird mask covering her head makes facial identification difficult. Which is probably just as well, since she wouldn't want anyone to see the look of horrified shock on her face.]

[The kids that surround her, or rather, that had downright swarmed her the moment she saw her, are starting to clamor for better entertainment -- entertainment she clearly is unsuited to give. HELP.]

A Sick Bird is Illegal

[queenmage]

[She's a little bit late at approaching the scene, her heels clacking as she runs. When she sees her goddess surrounded by these people she immediately brings her hands to cover her mouth.]

Oh no.

[These men shouldn't be doing what they're doing, but hopefully her goddess doesn't just outright strike them down? Garnet isn't sure how she should react so she just watches with wide eyes.]

Please! Be careful!

Lunafreya Nox Fleuret | Final Fantasy XV | God

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Jumping Jellyfish

[Lunafreya stands barefoot at the edge of the beach - shoes in one hand and a trident in the other - as she surveys the state of the ocean. Jellyfish are flopping out onto the sand in every direction, and every so often she has to calmly sidestep one to avoid being stung. She seems deep in thought as she stares out across the rolling waves, a slight frown forming on her face as unpleasant memories begin to surface. After all, the last time she stood at the water's edge...

...No. There's no time for thoughts like that now. She has a duty here, just as she did in Eos, and she's not about to shirk her responsibility. The momentary frown is quickly replaced with a more determined expression as she drops her shoes in the sand and takes up her weapon with both hands. Whatever ayakashi is causing this, something must be done to stop it before its taint spreads farther inland. Pointing her weapon at the water, she calls out.]

Fiend of the deep! You, who would defile these pure waters! Show yourself!

[She may not have a shinki with her, but she's certainly faced greater danger than this before. The resolve in her voice is quite apparent.]

Lovely Lingerie

[Mysterious disappearances certainly sound like the work of something supernatural, so of course Luna is concerned. If it's even remotely possible to save these people and bring them back, she's certainly going to try. There's only one problem - this lingerie is really embarrassing to look at, especially for someone who's grown up as sheltered as Luna has. So while she's determined to investigate, in practice she's mostly just pacing around outside the storefont, blushing as red as a tomato and trying to look like she isn't looking at the racy underwear on display.

She may need some help.]

Kooky Kickoff

[Thankfully, living in the Far Shore isn't always ayakashi fights and mysterious kidnappings. Sometimes, even gods get the chance to relax a little. Luna's out browsing the shops today when she happens upon your character wearing a silly costume. Her smile quirks up just a little as she politely hides a spontaneous giggle behind her hand, and she slowly approaches with a curious look in her eye.]

What are you selling today?

lovely lingerie

[tearitup]

I'd be glad to assist you--I've been working on finding them, too.

[ Elizabeth is nearly as embarrassed, but she's got to keep a cool head around Luna; the other girl is mortified enough. Growing up in a tower all alone with only books to keep her company... well, they're two peas in a pod. ]

Prompto Argentum | Final Fantasy XV | Shinki

[throughalense]

Kooky Kickoff

[For once, Prompto didn't immediately get dragged into something. It actually took a little bit of convincing before he was all dressed up in a yellow baseball cap, with big feathers attached to the back, baseball style t-shirt, with the yellow sleeves, and a pair of pants, with a big yellow tail attached to the back.

At least he's not in the mascot costume.

...He kind of wants to be in the mascot costume. His face is starting to turn a beautiful shade of red.]

H... hey hey! Come in! We're having an egg-cellent sale!

[Oh god, no cute girls. He doesn't need additional mocking here!]

Manic Molting

There's another one!

[A bird is running through town, losing all of it's feathers, which causes Prompto to chase after it to see what's going wrong. His face getting covered in all sorts of feathers, some not even from the bird he's chasing! His hands move all over the place to try and clear them away, but as he does that, more keep flying up at him.

It doesn't take long for his entire face to get covered in multiple types of feathers to the point that he's entirely multicolored on his face. As he's trying to clear them all off, and still chase after the runaway bird that he doesn't even see the crack in the sidewalk that he soon trips over, landing face first and sliding across.

The thump is loud and the slide looks pretty gnarly, but he lands right in front of the bird who has now lost all it's feathers.]

T... there y'are...

[But before he can grab the bird, it runs up to him, pecks him on the nose and scurries off.]

D... dammit! The hell is with these birds?!

Wildcard

[Anything else goes!]

kooky kickoff

[rememberher]

[ Did someone say cute girls?

Because there appears to be one who looks absolutely delighted with the terrible joke Prompto just told, a hand curled at lips and hiding a rather wide smile. Because really you did not just. ]

Oh, is that so?

[ Help she's a sucker for bad puns. ]

Allen Walker | D.Gray-man | god

[likethelight]

✞ But what constitutes illegal...

[ Let's be perfectly frank about Allen and Doing The Right Thing: it has nothing to do with what the law says, ok. He's got his own sense of morality. ... he also might have spent more time growing up in red light districts and unsavory sorts of places than not. Probably.

But let's also be honest about how he's an opinionated shounen hero-type with a polite gentleman streak that kind of trumps everything else.

That's why this particular evening as two partners in crime exchange goods in preparation for the night's profits... there's a bit of an outcry as one of them realizes he's just been shortchanged the product he just paid for. "What kind of stunt is this?! You trying to keep it for yourself?!" "What are you talking about man...!" Good old-fashioned brawl? Good old-fashioned brawl.

Do they notice the black-clad figure with snowy-white hair leaning against the alley wall? Nope. Not at all. It's almost like he isn't there at all. Not there at all... while he sips rather serenely on some kind of juice in a can. (Straw? Yes.)

"Stop fucking around, where are the goods!" "It was right here, I swear!!" A sudden crack! gets the boy-god to blink, pale eyes flicking over to the two in a sudden flare of concern. Oh, that was a particularly nasty crunch of knuckles vs face. Maybe he should do something. ]

... [ Siiiiiiiiip. Nah.

It's just two idiots brawling. Fair's fair.

Besides, you totally wouldn't even notice how he was idly tossing a pouch of something (distasteful) into the air and deftly catching it (with a white-gloved hand) the whole while in some solitary game of catch.

Totally. ]


✞ Once an Exorcist... (always an exorcist.)

[ We'll not say the battle is won, but it's over. The final howl of the ayakashi as it's rent; the sudden silence that seems very loud the moment it stops and seizes like a creature on the precipice of some great unseen divide.

And the quiet of the god who's just struck it as the boy's expression hoods like one feeling regret as he both holds it there but doesn't relent. ]

Aah.. [ It's soft in understanding. Empathy, like of some deep and old pain. ]

...good night. [ A starkly quiet juxtaposition, as the next moment there's an the explosion of power as the soul is purified and split apart into the night. Wind whipping hair and cowl of those nearby and the tearing at the slender god's softly glowing, ethereal cloak. Tugging at it and the wispy bits like feathers caught in a gale. What's been a violent and harshly-paced battle suddenly come to the end with with a funeral rite?

Perhaps. Allen is quiet as he rises back to his feet—shoulders back and spine straight—and not looking back to you just yet, be you another god or shinki, at his side the whole time or come upon them just now.

Almost like he's someone a little lost in his head and faraway for a moment. ]

♠ ♥ Deuces wild ♣ ♦

[ Come on let's do this, go!! ]

you know what prompt I'm here for

[rememberher]

[ Heart pumping, blood roaring in her theoretical ears, it was done. Yet the adrenaline still coursed, the sword in his hand, gold and opalescent white glowing faintly before fading away into glittering dust.

A shinki disengaging and reforming a step or two behind him, watching the god she served in almost awed and reverent silence as he spoke. Blond hair tied back into a simple ponytail, opting for street clothes instead of armor—a surprise attack, she wasn't able to bring anything with her—something of a stark contrast to the glowing cloak wrapped around him.

(Why was she holding her breath, seeing him like that...)

It took her a moment to speak. To move, really, to reach out and gingerly touch his shoulder in a strange swirl of concern and odd understanding. This was... was this somehow hard for him? She couldn't quite understand why.

(...He bade it farewell, like putting a child to sleep...) ]

Are you all right?

Enma Kozato | Katekyo Hitman Reborn | God

[fiammadellaterra]

[Kooky Kickoff]

[Enma had once more roped into another potentially sticky situation. It was another one of those things where someone easily took advantage of his meek nature to talk him into something he actually doesn't really want to do. This time? It was wearing a strange costume that is supposed to look like a meerkat. He's thankful enough that the mask hides his face, but this was still embarrassing!

He's holding a sign that's boasting the opening of new store, with sales up to 50% off. Even though he's been given lines to read on the back of the sign... Were gods supposed to really be doing a job like this?]

[Wait, that doesn't sound right...]


[Manic Molting]

[Feathers. Just feathers. Everywhere. Figuring out why the birds were molting was not up Enma's alley, but at least he can help with the cleanup. His skinny arms are great for reaching into small spaces to grab as many feathers as he can. Getting up higher was a bit of a task for this vertically challenged teen so he might need help with that.

A little later he finds out just how much feathers can itch and tickle at the same time when a ill timed sneeze sends them all flying into the air. There's feathers everywhere. His hair, somehow down his hoodie and shirt, sticking to his clothes... it's not a good look and the poor boy is stuck cleaning up the feathers. Enma doesn't seem too bothered being covered in them, looking rather resigned and tired instead. Just another day of bad luck. Mind helping a kid out?]

Iris Amicitia | FFXV | shinki, so no spoilers! assumed CR is A++++++

Illegal Irritations

"You're kidding, right? You're not actually trying to sell drugs to a kid, right?!"

On top of not making a secret of the fact that she totally just busted this jerk, she wasn't being especially shy about getting right in his face, finger lifted with her other hand resting on her hip. Sure, the guy had a couple of feet in height on her, but she had... uh...

...an unwavering sense of justice?

Said "kid" was probably only a year younger than her, but it seemed he appreciated her display of bravery. He gave an uncertain glance from her to the man, and then took a shaky breath. Without saying anything, he was moving to stand right next to her. That didn't do anything to scare the big guy, though she assumed he wouldn't be stupid enough to actually try fighting two people who were only... half his size? Also, she was being loud enough to draw attention -- no way that guy would actua--

"What's that...? You trying to start something, little girl?!" The man was bowing up quicker than an angry, wet cat, "Maybe I should teach you how little girls are really supposed to behave."

She didn't so much as flinch; she even took a step closer, eyes narrowing. When the man started to reach for something, she lifted an arm to silently push the kid back a little, "Look, you've already caused enough trouble, haven't you?"

The man's answer was to suddenly swing... at the kid?! Fortunately, she was already bracing herself for him trying to hitting her, but... Augh! She quickly pushed the kid out of the way. Another fortunate matter, at least, was that the blow to her arm wasn't even close to powerful enough to make her do anything beyond grit her teeth. After an even exhale, she said in a demanding voice, "Get out of here, all right? I'll be fine!"

She gave the kid an only faintly strained, but attempted reassuring wink, and then turned to glare at the man, "Congratulations, you've managed to smack a girl with a stick... Feel better?"

Kooky Kickoff

After having a costume shoved at her, she'd just stared at the person for a bit. It wasn't until after spending maybe five seconds thinking on it, she'd shrugged a shoulder and decided why not... It could be way worse, and it wasn't as though she didn't enjoy dancing! So, cue her totally rocking that costume (no mask, so, no... her identity was not concealed) and getting way into her dance routine!

Oh, but... she wasn't just going to dance -- oh no.

She was getting out there, grabbing the hand of anyone who happened to catch her eye (spoiler: her god/cr/cute people). She'd be guiding them into a ridiculous dance, laughing all the while. It wouldn't be until after the whole thing was over, she'd be offering an apology. Though, from the way she was hiding an obvious grin behind her hand, she wasn't actually sorry.

kooky dance of doom i said i'd do this

[fiammadellaterra]

Wow. This girl was really getting into this. Except Enma has no idea just what she's trying to advertise. Maybe she was an idol and there's cameras around here somewhere? She's certainly getting a lot of attention. It could be one of those random dancing parts of a video. Though he won't lie, she is really cute, just like an idol.

He'd been more than content to watch until she grabbed his hand to lead him into the dance. "N-No! I can't dance!" Which he really can't. The entire time she kept dancing, he just stood there, utterly mortified. At least it didn't last too much longer... He shook his head, keeping his eyes down. "Don't be. You should have grabbed someone else, though..."

[ Seriously? These guys weren't even hard to find. They weren't even trying to be discrete. It'd taken her only a few short hours to track down the back alley they were dealing out of, and the poor soul they'd been targeting. ]

Truth be told, I was expecting a bit more of a challenge.


Lovely Lingerie
[ Oh, good Lord. These brightly colored... clothes... they're not what Morgana expected, to say the least. Those around her seem excited about the prospect of holding these itty bitty pieces up to themselves, and while she can't deny that she's intrigued by them, Morgana really just wants to run far away.

Still, she came here for a reason. She came here because there were rumors of people disappearing after purchasing these. And she wants to do something about that.

Misaki Yata | K Project | Undecided???

[thevanguard]

Option A; Illegal Irritations - God

[ He hadn't actually come to this area for this specific purpose, but Yata's occasionally bad at not sticking his nose into something that smells like trouble. So, his original errand forgotten for the moment, he's wandering through back alleys with a nonchalant sort of arrogance, gaze narrowed and studying the people (and occasional thugs) he passes by. There's a baseball bat over one shoulder and a skateboard tucked under his arm, which either has people averting their stares or drawing their attention even more.

When three burly figures step out of an alleyway to impede his progress, he finally stops to eye them up and down with a smirk, despite the fact that, from outward appearances, he is way outmatched here. ]

Yo. You guys part of the gang causing all the trouble around here? I've been looking for you.

Option B; Lovely Lingerie - Shinki

[ He'd tagged along on this mission on a whim, in part out of boredom and in part because he'd tuned in long enough to hear the part about people disappearing, even if he'd missed the rest of the cause. Which is why, when they show up outside the shop in Akihabara and he catches sight of the eye-catching display in the front windows, he stops short and immediately starts sputtering as he turns to his companions with a red face as he points at the shop. ]

jumping jellyfish

Where people are avoiding the beach because of the jellyfish, Tamatoa is camping out at the beach and eating the jellyfish.

"This is the very opposite of a problem." Slurp. Must be magic keeping him from getting stung. "Oh, you here to take advantage of the bounty? Go somewhere else. This is my chunk of shoreline."

Of course Tamatoa takes the stage when asked. The problem is, he starts singing about himself. You're impressed, right? Of course you are. He's so shiny.


lovely lingerie

"Humans have such bad taste in clothes. None of these is even sparkly. They were probably kidnapped by the fashion police like they deserve"

That's Tamatoa's assessment of the situation, and he's sticking to it.

kickoff

[priforprince]

Off to the side of any crowd that might be gathering to watch Tamatoa's performance, a lone figure stands by herself. Her body has seemingly completely lost all coloring, and she's staring slack-jawed, wide-eyed, and frozen.

At her feet, a china teacup lies shattered; above it, her hand and arm remain out at a right angle, as if still holding onto the dropped object. If you look closely, she might be twitching a little, but otherwise she is perfectly still.

Never let it be said that Shikyoin Hibiki is not an attentive audience member.

That was a close one...

Manic Molting

[It seems vaguely familiar, but he can't quite put his finger on it. There are feathers everywhere and some very upset birds hopping among them.

They'll grow back. But we'll keep you warm until then.

Mikoto Suoh | K | God

[lionhearrt]

i. Illegal Irritations

[ Mikoto stands off against the group with a muted look. His eyes burn with a slow rage that betrays his lax posture. It disturbs them and has them aiming a row of guns at him. When he slips a hand out of his pocket, they start yelling explcities bringing tensions high causing one of the low-ranked dealers to slip his finger over the trigger. The single bullet causes a chain reaction sending the rest into a flurry. The sudden crescendo of gunshots is met with red. Flames suddenly envelope him in a protective shield that disintegrates the bullets on contact and has the men running when they bursts forward burning everything in their path leaving nothing in their wake.

Mikoto doesn't kill them. He lets them escape in a panic but not without administering his own brand of justice leaving them with first degree burns to mark their encounter with the Red King. And through it all, he remains silent, eyes red from the rage that still burns deep inside consuming him. ]


ii. Jumping Jellyfish

[ Mikoto stands a foot in the water, watching, waiting. When one of the jellyfish jumps out he quickly grabs it with a hand covered in flames and burns it to a crisp until it's well done. The jellyfish is dead before it even knows what's happened, and Mikoto? He stares down at his crispy creation, wondering if its edible before bringing it up and taking a bite. ]


iii. Manic Molting

[ Mikoto's solution to this latest mass hysteria over a few feathers - Burn them all.

His red aura suddenly flares out, consuming him in it's tangible heat. He breathes in, drawing the hottest flames to his core and with a quick exhale throws his aura out burning everything in its path leaving nothing but a faint memory of their cumbersome nuisance. And the birds? Mikoto stares at them afterwards with mild interest. ]

Tristepin de Percedal | Wakfu | God

[idiopic]

[I tag on mobile a lot, so I tend to write in prose, cuz formatting on mobile is a pain, but don't let that stop you from replying however you like!!]

[Tokyo Grift]
Tristepin was no stranger to shady dealings. He'd seen all manner of unsavory goings-on in his travels, from folks being charged an arm and a leg for a good meal, to people being sabotaged in what should have been a good clean competition, to bad guys playing just plain dirty, and everything in between. Of course, he couldn't stand for any of it. No self-respecting Iop did anything shady just for the sake of individual profit! And he couldn't just stand by while anyone else did, either.

"You're barking up the wrong fence, villain!" he said sharply, drawing his sword and bringing it to bear. "Now that I know your villainous scheme, I can't allow you to continue with such... er... villainy!"

Well, it had sounded better in his head. Anyway!

"Now hand over all of the illegal items and turn yourself in, or face the wrath of a Shushu Knight!!"

One of these days he would remember that he was also a god here, but Tristepin rarely got the full gist of anything the first (or second, or eighth) time around.


[I Don't Even Like Jelly]
What better way to spend an afternoon than at the beach, right? At least... that had been his plan. Do some swimming, work on his tan, just relax a little, nothing fancy. Something always seemed to get in the way of his relaxation, though--Ogrest's Law, or something.

"What the--?"

As he approached the beach, instead of the calming sounds of the waves and birds, all he heard were cries of dismay and disgust, and he was nearly bowled over by a family as they scurried away from the water. Moving closer to the source of the mess, he was alarmed (and a bit disgusted himself) to see that the whole shoreline was... shiny. And slimy. And moving.

What in the world was wrong with this world??

As someone else rushed past him, Tristepin reached out and tried to grab their wrist.

"Hey--! What's going on? What's all the slimy mess by the water?"


[I'm So Ticked Off That I'm Molting!]
It had been a strange day. Fighting villainy wasn't so unusual for him, and even strange jelly-based beach monsters wasn't so weird, he guessed, but add to that what looked like a pillowfight gone horribly awry in the city square and Tristepin just wasn't quite sure what to think anymore.

"Man, I thought the World of Twelve had some odd problems," he muttered, waving a hand in front of his face as his forward movement kicked up a cloud of feathers. There were feathers up to his knees in some places! All he had wanted was to find something to eat, but it seemed that wasn't going to be an option anytime soon.

His pointed ears perked up when he thought he heard the sound of someone calling for help, and he turned sharply. Food could wait! If someone was in trouble (drowning in down? Plagued by pinions? Maybe just really allergic?), Messire Tristepin de Percedal was on duty!

[...hesitantly, oh-so-hesitantly, she pulls one glove off. Finger by finger, and then, instead of laying it aside, she clutches it in her other hand.

She touches the sea water hesitantly, not even dipping her hand in, just skimming it... and gasps, as spirals and fractals of ice spin out and about. One streak hits a jellyfish, that collapses and freezes up in the now-cold water.

The surrounding jellyfish see it and are terrified, now jumping out even more frequently, in a snowy haze of brainless invertebrates.

Elsa just made it worse.]

[Natsuru's concerned about all those people going missing too. But she can't deny a draw to the pretty things that are supposedly connected to everything, either. She's always been encouraged to wear things that boost her confidence... even things no one else will see...

Hearing Elizabeth's voice nearby, her cheeks start to turn pink, and she sharply pulls her hand away from the garments she'd been inspecting.]

Y-You think?

['Risqué' is not the word she wants to hear describing something she'd seriously consider wearing, if it weren't for the rumors. Wait, but that's not the important part! She glances at the notebook and shakes her head.]

Leona | Leage of Legends | God

[zenithguard]

Illegal Irritations

These men, Leona decided, must be truly desperate to be able to see and approach a god. She'd been prepared to leave, or to smite them with divine fury, or even to just beat them up for wasting her time, but had hesitated before doing so.

She prided herself on being the master of all kinds of weapons, but these guns were not one she was terribly familiar with, and they were already much more advanced than versions of such weapons from Valoran.

Instead of reacting with contempt or violence, Leona started asking them questions. Where do these guns come from? Who makes the best guns? How do they work? How does one care for and maintain them? Her face grew a little more irritated each time she got the answer "You can look that up online." With her growing irritation, the sun seemed to be shining...not brighter, but somehow the light was more harsh.

"I don't know what I expected, talking to a pair of good for nothing, smuggling, human vermin. Can you answer my questions or can't you?"

If someone didn't intervene, she might eventually deal with these two with violence after all.

Kooky Kickoff

Leona did not fit well in the rasta banana costume she had been stuffed into, which designed for someone several inches shorter. When they had told her that gods granted prayers, this was not what she had had in mind.

But she had agreed to this sacred charge, and that had led her to this moment, in a banana costume, dancing outside a new supermarket to reggae music. If she was going to do this, she would be damned if she wasn't going to do it properly.

Eventually she did get a break. She sat down in the shade and struggled out of the banana. "I swear, it's hotter in here than in full plate mail. Truly, this era has its own battles to fight."

Also I made one up

Leona wandered the streets of this strange city called Tokyo. Though nothing in her mind could be as big as Mt. Targon, she had to admit that as far as cities went, this blew anything she had ever imagined out of the water. Even far off Demacia couldn't be this big. And no one seemed to be able to see her either.

Most people unconsciously stepped around the large woman as she went about her thoughts. Even if they didn't pay attention to her, they didn't want to run into her either. Most of them, but not all. One person slammed his shoulder into her and, before conscious thought got involved, Leona tripped his foot out from under him and flip his entire body over her shoulder, slamming him onto his back and knocking the wind out of him.

Then conscious thought caught up. Divine invisibility probably wouldn't save her from beating up random people in the streets.

"Ah..."

The made up one!

[small_reservations]

There's faint applause from above, which pauses briefly to accommodate a low, appreciative whistle.

"Wow, you really beat the snot out of him. You so low on offerings you need to rob random passerby or something? Not that I'm judging."

If she looks up, she'll see... a man with a shock of red hair, facial tattoos, and a wide grin, dressed in semi-distressed (but mostly just old) jeans and a t-shirt depicting what looks suspiciously like a Yordle, based on proportions alone. He's smiling down at her, and pauses for another whistle, this one a little more... provocative.

However, he also knows that these little animals are unpleasant to touch. He acquires a stick and a pail (stolen from a child too afraid of the stinging beasties to want to play) and starts collecting them, stabbing them as one might stab trash, and placing them in the pail]
