TEST DRIVE # 14

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.

Noxious Neurotoxins

There's a few blocks of Tokyo that have been closed off completely and quarantined. It seems there's a deadly neurotoxin that's been detected in the area. But authorities claim there's no way that could have happened! Looks like this might be the work of an ayakashi. Try not to get infected.

Omnipresent Obituary

The same obituary has been showing up in the papers for the last three weeks. It's for a young boy who died in a car accident. Thing is, this accident happened more than twenty years ago. A little ghost boy is just looking for some attention by printing his own death announcement over and over again. Spend a little time with him, would you?

Pretentious Partner

A detective hailed as the greatest in his field has one heck of a time keeping a partner. But he needs one bad, so he's calling on random strangers to help him out. Unfortunately, he's very full of himself and not even that good at his job. Maybe that's why all his partners leave. It's up to you to help or hurt him!

Quick Quips

Time to step up to the mic and make some jokes. A local bar needs performers - specifically comedic ones. You'd better be quick with your jokes or the audience is going to boo you off the stage, and then you won't get the payment you've been promised for doing a good job! Oh, and this is a request from a devote follower, so you'll lose that support too.

Radical Roombas

Some off-the-wall ayakashi have possessed a number of Roombas and are busily terrorizing people on the streets. That's right - small, round, automated vacuum cleaners are bothering the people of Tokyo. What's more, some kid thought it would be funny to tape knives to some of them. Watch out for Stabby and try to take out the spirit possessing it.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Always willing to listen to his suggestions, Yona pauses and tilts her head to the side thoughtfully, because that's something she's not sure she'd considered. Or perhaps not in the way he's offering a perspective on. ]

What do you mean?

[Jae-ha pauses, thinking carefully.]

What if he wants to be remembered?

[And that hits Jae-ha in a very unpleasant way.

He ignores it.]

[ She stills for a moment, interpreting that in her own way, but she still reaches out and brushes her fingers lightly against Jae-ha's sleeve. Because even if he is intent on ignoring it, sometimes she's more perceptive than anyone gives her credit for. At least until she surprises them with it in reminder.

Still, his words have her giving him a small, sympathetic smile as she tips her head back enough to meet his gaze. ]

Then let's go locate this place, and see if we can find a way to give his spirit rest. Perhaps knowing he will be remembered will help. [ because it's a certain thing now that he will be. After all, the two of them have been drawn here for this purpose, have they not? ]

[Jae-ha feels that brush against his sleeve, causing him to look at her.

When she meets his gaze, he couldn't help but smile back and nods.]

Alright then. [Now the best question is where they should even start.]
