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!



If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!

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. ]


Yakitori.

Manic Molting

[It was the flaring of the red aura that caught his attention.

The lingering heat doesn't bother him; his own aura flaring briefly in response to the other man's.]


Seems like you've got yourself a meal there.

[ Mikoto turns and --- ]


[ 'Pay attention!' Heaven's messenger finally lost his temper when the Red King fell asleep on him for the fourth time since- since! It had only been ten minutes! 'This is important! You can't just--'

'I know already.' Mikoto interrupts, finding his voice annoying. He doesn't open his eyes and remains on the sofa seemingly half-asleep. Still, he had listened. 'The God's greatest secret' He yawns. 'I heard you the first time.'

[ Izumo was the last person he expected to see here, but didn't that errand boy tell him that only Gods and Shin---

His aura suddenly flares, erupting like a volcano inside him as the very notion of Izumo being a shinki tears through his control drawing flames hot enough to melt the ground beneath him. ]
toremainbehind: ([16] Only silence)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-02-02 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a brief jerk of surprise that came from Izumo.

This definitely wasn't what he was expecting - not a reaction strong as this.

He recognizes the aura, if only because of his own, but this man's aura was stronger. The ground was melting beneath the other man, though, and it's the only reason why Izumo moves forward.

His own aura flickers, the warmth sweltering as it got to him and he clenches his jaw briefly to ignore it all. Instincts were warning him not to get too close.

Don't get close.

Dangerous, dangerous.


Izumo ignores them all as he comes to stand in front of the other man.]
lionhearrt: (Vision of Death)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-02 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hot. It was hot. The flames burned inside him, desperate to escape. He drew them in, but he wasn't fast enough, they burned through the asphalt beneath him, melting it as he forced them back in and --

Stay back!

Red eyes lock on Izumo, warning him away. His flame was too close. ]

toremainbehind: ([12] That one more flame may live)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-02-02 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[It burns.

His own aura doesn't provide much of a protection; it seems to blend in with this man's aura and it keeps on burning.

But Izumo's nothing but determined.

At this rate, this place will be destroyed, so Izumo grabs the redhead's arm - he ignores the flare of pain that comes with it - and glares.]


Concentrate. [A simple word, hoping somehow it'll help him.

Izumo's never done this before - not that he can recall - but he isn't going to leave the other man, that's for sure.]
lionhearrt: (Smoke)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-02 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ The flash of pain along with that familiar gesture has Mikoto pulling the flames by sheer force. They flare refusing to return before disintegrating and falling back, trapped inside the shell of a man that kept them at bay. ]

.... Izumo.

[ Mikoto is visibly shaken, the after effects of the enormous energy he's expended, along with Izumo's unexpected move. I could have hurt him. It's all that runs through his mind as he stares back at him. ]

hackberrydragon: ([Eh?] | To help me forget)

jellyfish =/= jello, red king

[personal profile] hackberrydragon 2017-02-02 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
E... excuse me! You probably shouldn't be eating that!

[ It's barely yelled out even as this shinki's running over. Sure, he may be out of uniform but that sword strapped to his side might be familiar.

Either way, he's hurrying over and catching his breath the minute he gets there. ]


I know it looks like a good idea but picking jellyfish out of the water isn't really a good idea. Even if you managed to broil it a bit...
lionhearrt: (You're still here?)

/pats the bitty blue

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-02 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mikoto turns around, chewing on the jellyfish as he looks him over. He recognizes the sword but the face goes over his head. At the moment, he doesn't really care if he's one of Munikata's, or god or even a shinki, all he knows is - ]

It's dry.

[ This is definitely not Izumo's or Yata's cooking. Still, he takes another bite. ]
hackberrydragon: ([..uh] | But I'm dying to)

;n; please adopt him

[personal profile] hackberrydragon 2017-02-02 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but...

[ The protest dies in his throat as Mikoto takes another bite. No use trying to stop him now. He's already in too deep. ]

It... might still have toxins. Are you feeling okay? Your mouth isn't going numb?
lionhearrt: (What do you want)

That depends - Can you cook?

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-02 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ He keeps chewing, swallowing the crispy cuisine. ]

Not yet.

[ He heads out of the water. After having one, he's not too keen on trying another. As he said, it's too dry but he's not one to waste edible food - which reminds him. ]

You want one?

[ He didn't even ask before he got out. ]
hackberrydragon: ([Ehhh?] And I fall at your feet)

No but you'll have the best bandwidth speeds in all of heaven?

[personal profile] hackberrydragon 2017-02-02 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
Ah.... no thanks.

[ Does this guy just eat everything. It's... a little surprising what the human body (or god in this case) can do. ]

It's a little weird that they're all here, though. I didn't think they've ever done that before.
lionhearrt: (Content)

....... /not interested

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-02 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, if he doesn't want one it's his loss. With little fuss, he finds his towel and sits down on it, opting to let his feet dry on their own. ]

How long have you been here?

[ He asks as he falls back on the towel, using his arms as a makeshift pillow. ]

Jellyfish >.>

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-03 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a little girl standing at the edge of the water behind him, dressed in a frilly pink bathing suit and carrying a bucket half-full of seashells. And also watching him with her an open mouth and wide eyes as he takes a bite out of the jellyfish he'd just caught with his bare hands. ]

Whoa! Can you eat those?
lionhearrt: (Grumpy)

<3

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-03 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ He turns around, a frown visible as he chews on his crispy cuisine. It wasn't as tasty as he first thought. When he catches sight of the kid, he nods in affirmation. ]

If you don't mind the taste.
welcome_home: (002)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-03 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ When he doesn't yell or get mad at the interruption, she tentatively wanders a little closer, peering up at him as the waves wash in around her knees. ]

Does it taste bad?
lionhearrt: (Grumpy)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-03 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs. He can't exactly say yet. It's not bad it's just - ]

It's dry.

[ He turns back to the water, then turns to look at her. ]

Do you want one?
welcome_home: (010)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-02-05 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nanako eyes it with very obvious skepticism. It looks like one of the results of the rare time Souji's cooking experiments failed horribly and that was never safe to eat.

Not that she wants to hurt his feelings about it either so she gives him a hopeful smile as she shakes her head. ]


No, I already ate, thanks. Are you hungry? I have some cookies.
lionhearrt: (The lion slumbers)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-05 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He shrugs. He doesn't really care, less work for him. Talking about work. He's getting sleepy. His pants are folded below the knee, so when walks out of the water he's not dripping wet. Seemingly ignoring her, Mikoto walks past her to a towel laid out on the sand. His back hits the towel and he uses his arms as a makeshift pillow before closing his eyes for a nap. ]

[ It’s a well-known fact: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire; and where there’s fire, there’s Mikoto Suoh. So then, where is Tatara Totsuka?

Fifteen minutes late with Starbucks, as per usual. Huffing and panting, out of breath from having jogged most of the way here, he’s still too delayed in his arrival to make any difference. What’s done is done. Flames still tickle around the redhead’s body as Tatara approaches from behind, but that doesn’t stop him from reaching up to place a hand on one of Mikoto’s shoulderblades anyway.

Risky as that may seem, he’s perhaps the only one -- if anyone -- who can be brave enough to touch King this way without immediately fearing for life and limb.

A beat, and then he sighs heavily, exasperated. ]


King. [ he drags the name out, mimicking disappointment that’s merely a farce. ] Was that really necessary?

[ Stepping around Mikoto’s side, he looks up at the Red King with amber eyes that quietly, humbly seem to plead, reflecting a hint of worry. The voice he uses is just as gentle as his touch, but still discreetly chiding. ]

Keep doing things like that, and your sword could crack.
lionhearrt: (No Blood)

Brave Boy

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-03 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The men run away from the flames, leaving the Red King to face his demons alone. Tension fills his entire body as the flames claw their way out, spilling onto his skin, refusing to be smothered. He stands perfectly still in the silent room, wrestling for control when a hand suddenly touches his back. ]

--!

[ His eyes fly open in surprise, but it's nothing compared to the shock of hearing that familiar voice chiding him like always. His eyes slowly fall to the ground, and his shoulders relax. Was this it then? Would he find them all here? Izumo, Yata and now... He swallows thickly, past the lump in his throat. The Heaven's really didn't like him did they? ]

heartshutter: (gorge~)

the bravest boy. (this is why he's dead. :v) also WHY THAT ICON UR SO RUDE

[personal profile] heartshutter 2017-02-03 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Almost straight away, Tatara can feel the minute, fractional slump of his king’s shoulders beneath his touch, ever the roaring lion meeting the hand of its kind tamer. There we go, he thinks, breathing out as Mikoto does, it’ll be okay, King. Before pulling his hand away, he indulges himself a bit, letting his thumb make a couple swipes over the worn-thin cotton of the redhead’s shirt.

Still attempting to seek those bright yellow-gold eyes with his own of a distinct amber hue, he can see the discreet nuances about Mikoto’s features that tell of his unvoiced, internalized shock at all of this. ]


You’re surprised to see me here, aren’t you?
lionhearrt: (Heaven Above)

Why is everyone dead..... orz

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-02-03 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The flames slowly recede, giving him room to think. To remember. Tatara... and here he thought this place was Hell all along that cleared things up. He pulls a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it with his aura before slipping it into his mouth. The familiar scent calmed him, making it easy to keep control for what came next. ]

I avenged you.
heartshutter: (Chat)

because welcome to K, saddest fandom ever

[personal profile] heartshutter 2017-02-03 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The fact that oh btw he’s dead doesn’t register as profoundly as what that vengeance taken likely means. ]

Oh, King... [ That... couldn’t have been a good fight. Even without knowing the details, just knowing Mikoto, it couldn’t have ended well. ] You know you didn’t have to, right?

[ But Mikoto will say, (albeit perhaps not audibly), that of course he had to; that’s just the type of man he is. It’s one of the many things that endears Tatara to him -- even in the afterlife. ]

Lies, all of it!
