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!

Have fun!

[There's a blink and then a furrow of the eyebrow(s).

That was quite a strong reaction from the younger man, and it makes Lavi look at him even more curiously. It was even more curious when he heard the brief slip, but he pushes it away, thinking it was nothing.

He patiently waits though for the other man - god - to regain his composure, though the curiosity continues to build up.]


Then why're you lingering here? [He's onto you.] Normally people wouldn't just stand and watch two people brawling unless they're here for a good show.

[ Strong reactions are just how Allen rolls okay. Especially in the war between emotional rollercoaster reunion and being miffed at the accusation. Especially when... Lavi, he doesn't...

...doesn't seem to recognize him? ]


Even if they're like this someone has to make sure they don't go too far! [ He really was babysitting. How guilty would he feel if it turned ugly because he messed with them. Which speaking of, that bag he dropped, the one he's no longer handling as someone non-living..

"! I told you I didn't nick it!!" would be the mixed outcry from one of the men as he manages to break free and— ]

[ ...swoops in—completely oblivious to the god and shinki also standing there—to nick the bag right back (garnering an outraged insult from the other fellow).. before taking off down the alley with a running leap.

Well. Crap. ]

[Get ready for the heartbreak, Allen, when Lavi confirms that this is the first time he's met you.

He opens his mouth to say something, possibly to retort his words, when the man nicks the bag away from Allen and runs off. A blink, two blinks, and he reels back as the other man gives chase, screaming obscenities into the air.

Lavi watches them for a minute or two before he glances back at the younger man.]


...Gonna go after them?
likethelight: (.not sure if want)

[personal profile] likethelight 2017-02-02 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ At least he's used to it... Except for this kind of impending heartbreak. This kind of heartbreak will suck. What kind of cruel deity—

(Oh.)

But sweating a little at watching the two idiots go tearing off or not, Allen.. looks a little oddly mollified at the question as his eyes slide back to the redhead. Or queasy. It's hard to tell. ]


Would there be a point...? [ Although to his credit it's still oh-so-dry. ]

L— [ hn ] ...why are you here...?
lostinshadows: ([10] Only one will take it all)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-02-02 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[There's a bit of concern at the expression masking the other man's face.

Is he sick?

Even so, Lavi takes a step closer to him to examine him, but there's that slip again and it makes Lavi want to frown, wondering what it is that he keeps wanting to say.]


What do you mean why am I here? [A head tilt, his own expression becoming guarded briefly before it eases up and there's a smile.] Why are you here?
likethelight: (202)

[personal profile] likethelight 2017-02-02 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Because he can barely concentrate with the crushing wall of questions—"Lavi?" "where have you been?" "are you alright?" "I was worried—I'm sorry.."—and emotions he has and something

keeps

stopping

him

damnit. ]


Apparently to have my good name slandered. [ oh how he knows that smile ]
lostinshadows: ([02] To hold our heads up high)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-02-02 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[The smile turns kinder, even if he is suspicious.]

You probably aren't the first god to have that happen to you.

[He pulls back a bit in order to look at him better.]

Are you new here?

[personal profile] likethelight 2017-02-02 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ Are you new here—

Lavi...

That, with smiling more gently like that... that does finally make his throat threaten to close as it leaves no doubt and you could almost knock him over with a feather. And because the redhead said god—that title that Allen hates—and Lavi if he were Lavi would never call him that unless it was to tease.

Like Lux, you don't remember.. ]
I—

[ ... ]

Yeah. [ Shit—shit. Don't scrub at your face Allen. Don't cry; it'll make him ask questions he can't. ] Yes, sorry, I...

..I'm really new.

And I think I mistook you for someone else, sorry. [ So he'll put on a stitched-together smile even if it feels like his face won't move right for it and he'd rather cry or punch something.

Because he can't. Couldn't do that to the other. (Will have to help him remember another way.) Because if he threw him into turmoil.. honestly, instinctively knowing what that would mean..

..he couldn't live with himself then. ]


I'm Allen.
lostinshadows: ([01] Do we fight)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-02-02 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
[There was hesitation.

Lavi doesn't know him, he's sure he's never seen him before, but his heart goes out to him.

The concern is evident now because there was something bothering Allen. Did he really look like someone Allen knew to have warranted such a reaction like this?

Questions that swam in Lavi's heads; questions he was sure would never be answered.

Even so, Allen's introduced himself; it's only polite Lavi does the same.]


Nice to meet you. The name's Lavi.
likethelight: (.103)

[personal profile] likethelight 2017-02-02 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ This is hard.

One of the hardest things Allen's had to do. Keep smiling. Whatever you do, keep smiling. Cruel jokes of fate or not, wanting to grab the other Exorcist and shake the sense back into him or not—keep smiling. So that Allen might also extend his hand to him at that. The right (human) one gloved as always in white.

It's so hard. ]


...that's a good name.

Nice to meet you, Lavi. [ For a moment...

..for a moment can we just go back to joking and pretend everything is alright?

He'd be okay with being teased if it meant that. ]
lostinshadows: ([04] What we love?)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-02-02 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
[His eye narrows.

Hesitation.

Lavi wants to ask: Why are you acting? There was something bothering Allen.

It made him want to help, but:]


Don't sound so formal. [A grin.] Anyway, how about I show you around?

[ Heh.

(It still hurts, but Allen can't help but crack a smile at that. A relieved and genuinely glad one.)

If only you knew, Lavi. If only you knew. ]


I think I'd like that.
lostinshadows: ([15] The champions of a world we defy)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-02-06 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Is it completely breaking your heart yet, Allen?

Lavi nods, gesturing for Allen to follow him.]


Then come on. There're still a lot of things here to see than being here all day.
