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!

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.

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..."

A hand descended from above and plucked the makeshift weapon out of the man's hand before he could do anything else impolite with it. The hand was connected to a muscular arm, which was in turn connected to a woman who towered over the drug dealer by about as much as the drug dealer towered over Iris.

"Go away before I break something of yours that you feel is important. Beating you would be a waste of a perfectly good beating."
