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!

"Says the one not wearing gloves," came the immediate response as Ignis frowned at the God, hands on his hips as he cocked his head the slightest bit. "What about these creatures said 'touch me with your barehands'?"

Scolding was a part of his nature that would just never go away it seemed.

"The part where they're slowly drying out and suffocating to death," he retorted, scooping up another of the creatures and tossing it into the surf.

The scolding was so familiar, and yet... it wasn't quite what it was supposed to be. Gladio swallowed a lump in his throat and pushed the thoughts aside.

Well, he couldn't really argue with that.

Ignis sighed and his hands slipped from his hips as he moved over to help, grateful as usual for the gloves he always wore.

"I have to wonder if there's something in the water forcing them out," he said thoughtful, unaware of Gladio's inner battle.

"Probably," he shrugged, moving for a particularly large one he knew would probably have a proportionately painful sting.

"Why, you wanna go for a swim and find out what it is?" Underwater exploration was also not a specialty of his. Still, if they were really going to save the jellyfish, he supposed it was going to be necessary.

"I'd rather not," Ignis replied, nose scrunching as he tossed a jellyfish back into the water, shaking his hands off afterwards to get some of the sand off. "It doesn't sound all that appealing, really."

Moving to grab another one he managed to catch his thumbs against it and jerked his hands back with a frown.

"Especially if it means encountering more of these..things."
