TEST DRIVE # 01



What's that? You're interested in testing out what it would be like to join the wonderful world that is The Far Shore? Well then you have come to the right place! The Test Drive is here to make your life easy by letting you see how you would fare in our game 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.



Alleviating Ayakashi

The age-old quest of destroying ayakashi is something that most gods and shinki participate in at some point or another. Lucky for you, there are a lot of the nasty things around. Unlucky for you, they kind of think that eating you would be a lot of fun. So let's hope you're experienced enough at combat to kill them! Or at least avoid them long enough for someone else to…

Broken Bonds

A request has come in from someone who is missing a person who was in their life a long time ago. They want you to find that person and bring them back, no matter what it takes! Unfortunately, the only description you're getting of the person is from when they were seven, and they're likely in their fifties now. But that little picture the requester gave you might help you in your search if you ask enough people! That is, if you can get their attention long enough to ask…

Couple Complaining

There are a lot of couples around lately and certain followers are so jealous of them that they are praying for certain couples to be torn apart. That might not be your cup of tea, but then again it might be, who knows! All you know is that the lovers you're following around are a couple of the most nauseatingly cute people you've ever seen in a relationship. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to break them up after all, just for the sanity of everyone around them…

Darling Dearest

Of course, with Valentine's Day just around the corner, there are plenty of young Japanese boys praying that they will receive chocolates from the girls that they like. Are you willing to play a little game of match-making? And how exactly are you supposed to push two people together when neither of them tends to notice you for long? Ah well, love is in the air and you might as well help it along!

Exchanging Endowments

Valentine's Day isn't only celebrated by the people of the Near Shore, though. Those of the Far Shore are often placed in positions where they have to exchange chocolates. So what exactly are you going to do? This can be obligation chocolate, friendship chocolate, chocolate to express your love, or anything else you can think of.



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!

[Couple Complaining]
[Kofuku decided that she was going to do good deeds today.

You see, she had been so inspired by her BFF Yato's heroic work at trying to change himself that she decided that it would be great to do her own part for the greater good! I mean, you gotta help out your followers, right?

Okay, lbr, it's because she's bored and it sounded like a lot of fun.

So escaping Daikoku, she is now wandering around town, following couples at the request of others! They sound like innocent requests for the most part. She heard requests such as "Please help me feel a little less lonely by helping me find other lonely people such as myself." or "See that sickeningly sweet couple? You oughta see if they're really as pure as they pretend they are!!" or "They suck, if you get them separated, it'd make me super happy."

Now, she's not a malevolent god (most of the time) which is possibly why she misinterpreted most of these requests. "Separate them?" Okay! We'll just distract them so they're physically separated, it doesn't have to be that long right? Spy on them? It's because their friend is just oh so concerned! Lonely? That's okay, she'll try to help them make new friends. With such a pure heart, surely the only outcome can be a positive one, right?

Oh. But there is one...little problem...

She's the goddess of misfortune of poverty.]


[Please don't take chocolates from Kofuku.]
[Hell.

This is Hell.

The kitchen became a special Hell. Kofuku loves her friends dearly and she wanted to show her appreciation by making chocolate on her own. She once heard that cooking from the heart is the best way to put your love on a plate, and she didn't want to take any shortcuts when it came to something so important such as that! She really did truly want to show her appreciation to the people in her life.

However, being the goddess of misfortune, she kind of made a disaster in the kitchen, one that will probably cause Daikoku to die of a heart attack. Again. I mean he's already dead.

So. Anyway, little did she know, each stir of her spoon into the chocolate would add more and more bad luck into the dish itself. Her intentions WERE pretty pure though. She knows she is a goddess of bad luck, and that's ok! Like Daikoku said, it's just in her nature and she can't help something like that! However, her friends have stuck with her through and through, and it makes her smile to know that even though she has misfortune tied to her, they still come and visit sometime. This gift was for them.

So she's eventually either approaching you with a gift in hand, one that radiates DARKNESS or you're discovering the kitchen. Why are there sardines on the floor? What was it used for?

Perhaps a little kindness could actually kill someone...]

[Yukine has no words. (For once. But give him a sec. He'll find them.)

He doesn't want to know. Oh god, he doesn't want to know. But what is that on the floor and on the table and don't tell him you are actually cooking with that?! Why is the horror not pixelated out?

But before he can back away and run off to find Daikoku to rein in this disaster, Kofuku has noticed him. And is approaching with something in hand. ...'Something'.
Yukine tries his best to smile back at the beaming pink-haired god.]


Hi, Kofuku-san. What have you been up to? I bet Daikoku-san is gonna be pissed when he sees what you did to his kitchen...

[Although he's keeping his expression normal enough, his eyes keep slipping down to the something in her hands. What the heck is it, I feel like I want to cut it-]
tatsumi_textiles: (Run)

Kofuku no. Kofuku, why.

[ He hadn't been paying attention to where he was walking.

That's the main problem here- he had been so focused on what he was doing, that he hadn't paid attention to where he was stepping, or what he was smelling, until he was already three feet into the kitchen already, and stepping down onto something cold, and wet, and squishy.

He freezes, slowly looking up from his knitting to focus on the room around him. The first thing to hit him was the smell, and then the feeling of DARKNESS.

What the- the hell is this shit?
