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.

Uwahhh!!

[ And off it goes, skittering across the pavement into a thousand broken pieces. Bea is on her feet in an instead, stepping up to the other woman with a angry glare. ]

W-What was that for?!

For being a fool. These things are only worth anything when they're destroyed.

[No paycheck for you.]

Just because you can't understand what it's like to be poor doesn't mean you can shame others for it!

[ Wait, that's probably not what's happening at all. But even so, she's not giving up. Because the next one she sees Bea is already charging for it, trying to beat Apollo. ]

This one is mine!!
ebonyknight: (6. Didja say something 'bout Orchis?)

[personal profile] ebonyknight 2017-03-29 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[God not again.]

Did I say anything about you being poor? No. Even if you are, greed can still be a motive--

[She'll try to grab this roomba.]

Let it go!

[ Wanting to eat nice things, afford new clothes, maybe even buy a luxury once in awhile doesn't make a person greedy, Bea would think. She might also just be more motivated than other people to seek out money though. ]

No! This one is mine! You already broke all the others, just let me have one nice thing!!

[ She's holding on for her dear life, as if this little robot would soon become a delicious plate of curry stacked a foot high with the smell of cardamom and cumin wafting into her nose.... ]

If you want money that can be arranged. Just give it up.

[Her superior is rather generous, after all! But that machine is dangerous and she's not going to let Bea just sell it.]

[personal profile] bestwhenbullied 2017-04-05 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And here Bea has one that has about zero followers and somehow even less in donations. ]

Every single yen counts!!

[ Grasping her newfound minor wealth in one arm, Beatrix hops back out of reach from Apollo, turning defiant. With a flourish over her head she materializes her weapon, a long blue sword surrounded in blueish flames, that she calls forth with its name: ]

Embrasque!
ebonyknight: (6. Didja say something 'bout Orchis?)

[personal profile] ebonyknight 2017-04-06 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Then get a job!

[What a worthless bum! ...Though that is a good looking weapon, though. Apollo is unarmed. Her skill with a sword is pretty good but her god preferred her not to be armed all the time.

So she just raises her fists like a boxer.]


Let's go.
bestwhenbullied: (14)

let's.... ignore how weapons apparently work here? lol oops

[personal profile] bestwhenbullied 2017-04-10 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm too busy working for my God to have steady employment! I've already been fired four times for not showing up on time!

[ Seeing as this woman is unarmed, Bea is confused and stunned for the moment. ]

Eh? What? Are you going to just fight with your hands?!
ebonyknight: (6. Didja say something 'bout Orchis?)

shhh it's okay, shh it's okay

[personal profile] ebonyknight 2017-04-15 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
Your God should get more requests.

[She doesn't back down, though.]

Yes.
bestwhenbullied: (11)

[personal profile] bestwhenbullied 2017-04-25 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
If you really think you can beat me with just your hands you've got another thing coming!

[ Something about this woman makes Beatrix think she shouldn't underestimate her. Her feet dig into the ground as she readies herself, trying to find a weakness to strike at somewhere on Apollo's body...

when she feels the telltale stab of a knife at her leg.
]

Owwww!! Hey wait a minute!!!
ebonyknight: (6. Didja say something 'bout Orchis?)

[personal profile] ebonyknight 2017-04-28 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. That's to be seen.

[She's ready to strike out when one of those dumb robots stabs Bea in the leg. Then there's a quick kick towards the robot.]

They won't give you a bounty for saving their allies!
bestwhenbullied: (15)

[personal profile] bestwhenbullied 2017-05-01 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
But I can sell them! And maybe then I can go out to eat at a nice restaurant where they don't serve their food on paper plates!! You can't fault me for that!

[ Sick of being poor, angry at Apollo, Bea can't help but angrily lash out at the robot and split it in half with the end of her sword. ]

This is your fault!
ebonyknight: (6. Didja say something 'bout Orchis?)

[personal profile] ebonyknight 2017-05-02 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
If you just want to eat a decent restaurant then I'll treat you myself, you idiot!

[Look, if it gets her to stop getting in her way? Apollo would hire the idiot herself.]
bestwhenbullied: (1)

[personal profile] bestwhenbullied 2017-06-06 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not--

[ Stopping suddenly, Bea looks down at the robot stuck to her sword, then back up to Apollo, dumbfounded. It clearly takes a few moments of gears grinding away before she comes to a sudden, but enthusiastic conclusion: ]

Why didn't you just say that before! I'll destroy every last one of them!
ebonyknight: (3. A softer time)

[personal profile] ebonyknight 2017-06-07 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't know you wanted the money for food.

[Every god save her from this idiot.]
