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!

Surely they did nothing to upset you?

[Maybe it's because Aymeric has a lot of patience therefore able to stay around those with attitudes. But of course his friend did not have that luxury.]

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

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

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.

[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.

[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?]

[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]

[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!]
