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!

[lionhearrt]

[ That his turning halfway, his aura still pulsing but under control. ]

What do you mean?

[toremainbehind]

[He eyes him, wondering how he should phrase it before deciding to just come out with it.]

My god left. He's not here anymore.

[lionhearrt]

[ Mikoto stares back at him, his answer immediate - ]

What a shitty god.

[ Just like him. ]

[toremainbehind]

Better than my first god.

[Izumo's carefully gauging him.

His slip of his first god was unintentional, but he won't take it back. He's already lost two gods; he's always losing-

Izumo stops that train of thought immediately. It was simply faint, nothing more. But Izumo will take out a cigarette and silently offers Mikoto one.]

[lionhearrt]

[ He stares at the cigarette and smiles faintly, leave it to him to always have a stash on him. Mikoto takes it, lighting it with his aura before taking a drag. One cigarette. He'll let things end with one last cigarette. ]

[toremainbehind]

[Ah, there's a smile.

Izumo's not sure why it brings a strange burst of happiness, familiarity, but he'll take it. He'll light his own cigarette. He knows he should let the other man go, knowing the threat he poses when it concerns his past.

It's too bad Izumo's never been a kind person to let certain things slip away.]

[lionhearrt]

[ He takes another drag of the cigareete, letting the smoke fill his lungs before blowing it out. It's calming. ]

Where'd you get these?

[ He'll need to start buying his own now, so better get the info from him now. ]

[toremainbehind]

Quaint little shop on the Near Shore.

[He reaches a hand into his pocket and tosses the other man the carton.

It's still nearly full.]

Here.

[lionhearrt]

[ He plucks them from the air and stares down at them. Always looking out for him, even when he couldn't remember. ]

Thanks.

[toremainbehind]

Don't mention it.

[He was a link to his past, one that he should forget about and move on.]

If you ever feel like you want a drink or a bite to eat, feel free to swing by my bar, too. Otherwise, don't go getting into trouble.

1/2

[lionhearrt]

[ A bar.... ]

I'll keep that in mind.

2/2

[lionhearrt]

[ He pockets the cigarettes and turns to leave. Izumo would do well on his own, that he's always known. ]

See you around.

[toremainbehind]

Don't do anything rash.

[And this time, he'll let Mikoto leave.]

[lionhearrt]

[ Those words rush forth a torrent of memories that bring him to a stop. How many times did he tell him that? How many times did he ignore it?

He looks up, a bitter smile faintly curving his lips. In the end, he hadn't listened to his advice. He'd done things his way, like always and Izumo... he must have been angry with him, like always. ]

.... I'm sorry.

[toremainbehind]

[He wasn't expecting the other man to stop. He wasn't expecting him to even do anything.

But now he's looking up, and Izumo furrows his eyebrows.]

For what?

[It's a dangerous question, but as long as Mikoto is vague enough, he should be safe. That depends on what kind of response Mikoto would give, though.]

[lionhearrt]

[ 'For leaving it all to you.'

Mikoto grins, putting on airs. There was no point in worrying him. ]

I never could make that promise.

[ He keeps on walking until he becomes a faint figure in the background and slowly disappears out of sight. ]
