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!

[Elsa's hands fly to her mouth, at the first sight of it, but... lower slowly... as she realizes what she's looking at.]

You... you can do that? At will?

[shutsdoors]

But everything's... in the air...

[What does that even mean? Her stare is rather unqueenly in its rudeness, but she can't help it.]

And you can't fly, obviously...

Aaaaand guess who lost this notif -_-

[thevanguard]

[ Yata reacts more on instinct than anything else, a startled yelp escaping him as he drops his board and moves automatically - and probably a great deal more smoothly and quickly than any normal human could manage. It's done with such urgency that the wheels on his board flare up with his Aura to hasten his frantic dodge.

Even so, the fireball misses him by a hair and he turns to the stranger with an incredulous look and a quickly simmering temper. ]

Oi! What the hell?!

[pathofheaven]

A sun god needs a sun barge, no?

[ Tendou grins widely, as though it were totally obvious that that's why he has this. ]

I have perfect control over the vehicles I own. It comes with the territory.

[grumpgoon]

They did not. But you know just how well I do with children, Lord Commander.

[Yes, he's being a dick. Sorry bruh.]

[onedrinkwithme]

Must you insist on addressing me as such? There is no need for it.

[Come on, say his name!]

But you must admit, there has been no child that has attempted to seek out if your wings or your pom is real. Most seem to be well behaved.

<3

[lionhearrt]

[ Mikoto pockets his hands in his jacket, feeling a sense of pride at that quick dodge. There was a reason why Misakai was HOMRA's vanguard. The Red Aura took to him with ease.

Mikoto stands to his full height, his red aura washing over him like a living flame while a smirk hovers at the edge of his lip. Congratulations on passing your first lesson. ]

[grumpgoon]

[Fine, you win. Kinda. So he leans over and whispers.] Aymeric [Before straightening back up and glaring through his headpiece.]

They have not, but still. Children are not my favorite.

[grumpgoon]

[He glances down before sighing (not loud enough that she could hear, he thinks) and kneeling down so he's more her height. He has to play the part, no?]

I'm a moogle. Do you not know what a moogle is? Kupo.

Yata is inwardly keysmashing in all caps at you rn. GJ.

[thevanguard]

[ Yeah, that's not really the praise he was looking for and he kicks off to propel himself closer, still irate with the man who'd just tried to fry him. Swerving in a circle around Mikoto, he skids to a stop again in front of him. Which is potentially dangerous, because he sure as hell won't be able to dodge anything at this range, but that's not factoring in at the moment. ]

That's not a lesson! That's you trying to murder me!

[welcome_home]

[ She has to take a step back when he crouches down because well.... moogles are apparently rather round.

But his question is greeted with a wide-eyed stare of fascination. ]

Nooo. I've never seen a moogle before. Is it a bear?

Such a Drama Queen~

[lionhearrt]

[ He stays still while he circles around him, the flames warm to the touch but not hot. He shrugs at the accusation. ]

If you can always turn down the offer.

You sure know how to pick 'em, King.

[thevanguard]

[ He can feel the heat emanating off the other man, but he doesn't feel frightened by it. If anything, he feels the draw from the flames, a connection he doesn't understand and really can't explain. ]

Maybe I will! Maybe someone else can teach me without trying to kill me!

[ ...No, he won't. He's not even fooling himself right now. That doesn't mean he can't still sound irritable about it. ]

....If this is real fire, why doesn't it hurt?

[lionhearrt]

[ ooc; Edit: 'You can always turn down the offer.' ]


[ In answer the flames begin to expand giving him enough time to get out of the way before they engulf him in the warm embrace of the Red King. ]

[onedrinkwithme]

[Look, be lucky he won't pull on your pom again buddy.]

Tis surprising since I do have one that enjoys visiting from time to time and another who is my partner in all of this.

[Just then, a little girl clutching a camera scampers over and Aymeric is grateful both have their heads on. Where was her mother anyway? But she seems to be looking down and shuffling her feet from side to side.]

Um...excuse me...?

[The test begins: how long can one deny a small cute kid?]

[thevanguard]

[ His instincts are screaming at him to get out of the way, but he stands his ground, curious now, waiting. If it didn't hurt.... would that include his flames, too?

Yata tenses up but waits, staying planted in front of the man as the Red Aura expands until it engulfs him completely.

It's hot, but not painfully so and Yata exhales in surprise, staring around him with wide eyes as fire dances up around him. ]

[grumpgoon]

[He bobs his head back and forth a bit. At least this kid can't see who he is. Maybe acting, well, like a moogle, wouldn't be too horrible.]

Kind of, kupo. But not entirely like a bear.

(ooc: I am so sorry for this idiot.)

[grumpgoon]

[He glares at him, again, through the moogle mask. At least his best friend was here with him, and stuck in another, just as annoying, outfit.]

Kupo? [And it's amazing how 'well' he can fall into character when there's a child around. As long as she's not annoying, he'll be fine]

[lionhearrt]

[ An echo of heat surrounds them, consuming everything in red. The heat is warm, welcoming. Mikoto stares down his clansmen, impressed but not surprised by his stance. He hadn't moved, hadn't budged. He stood his ground in the face of uncertainty and for that, he answers him. ]

It hurts who I want it to hurt.

[ When he's in control - a caveat. ]

[welcome_home]

((I am not sorry at all))

[ She giggles in delight, watching the pom bob above his head. ]

Is it a magic bear? Do they all say kupo?

[thevanguard]

And that's not me.

[ It's more an observation than a question as Yata reaches out to poke at a flickering flame with a fingertip, still watching the Aura around him with an almost childish sense of awe. ]

This is so cool!

Feel free to ignore, I just noticed I never replied back to this

[changeanddie]

[Loki frowns and drums his fingers against his chin.]

I had not considered it. Mortal humor has a lot of knacks, so I feel I'd need to study more of their entertainment before I could successfully create a good joke or a dank meme.

[onedrinkwithme]

[How can you say anything about that cute lil face? Aymeric steps aside just as the child looks up at the huge moogle man, lifting up her camera and peeking from behind it. Ok, so she's probably a little shy but she's only seven.]

M-May I take your picture, Mr Moogle? Y-You look really nice!

[Meanwhile off to the side, Aymeric attempts to give him a thumbs up. Do it!]

[lionhearrt]

[ He draws the flames in then, pulling them into himself. Within seconds the warmth is gone, locked deep within him as he straightens up, slipping a hand back in his pocket. Mikoto regards Yata with one last look, a faint smile lifting his lips, before he walks past him. ]

See you around, kid.

[ This was enough. ]
