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.

[Broken Bonds]
[Normally, Alba would comment on how near impossible this request seems or how he has no idea where to start, but for some reason this request resonates with him. Wanting to reconnect with someone, no matter what it takes... he can't help but sympathize with that.]

I know it's not going to be easy, but I really want to help this person.

[With an earnest expression, he turns towards whoever else was considering the request-- his mind's already set on accepting this, it's just a matter of getting whoever's with him to agree.

[Couple Complaining]

[Man, this couple is so embarrassing Alba can barely look at them.]

...Are they wearing matching sweaters?

[Please promise this kid you didn't put anything weird in the chocolate.]

[It doesn't matter who or why someone's trying to give Alba valentine's gifts, for some reason he's visibly averse to receiving them. It's not like he wants to be, but for reasons he can't remember, he wants nowhere near the person's gift-- it's almost like an instinctual response buried deep within his psyche.]

You're giving that to me?? Really? Th-thanks..

[He wants to accept it!! Really!! Behind the terror his tone of voice implies a sense of genuine gratitude and excitement, but his body language doesn't match up at all.]

[Wildcard]
[Have another idea? Go for it!]

Couple Complaining

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-02-08 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
They are...

[Even Yuto can barely look at them, but...]

...Maybe we should just leave them alone.

[He frowns to himself, crossing his arms and looking away from the embarrassing couple. Breaking couples is not something he wants to do.]

Will we get in trouble if we go back and say we can't do it?

[To be honest, Alba doesn't want to do it either. Sure, they're hard to look at, but to go so far as to break the lovey couple up seems pretty extreme.]

darkduelist: (look what love gave us)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-02-09 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know.

[They may not even have much to say in this matter. And now Yuto wonders how in the world he agreed to get dragged into this in the first place.]

But we have to at least try to explain why we can't do it.

[personal profile] relyonme 2016-02-10 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Because what's with this request?!

[Alba's suddenly all riled up, making gestures here and there. It's true that part of it is that he doesn't want to deal with the embarrassing couple, but he also just doesn't agree with what they're supposed to be doing.]

Who looks at a couple and thinks "ah, I wish those two would break up" and actually goes through with it?!? Isn't that a bit much?! Sure, they're hard to look at, but normally you'd look the other way or want them to go away, right?
darkduelist: (And I know that I can survive)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-02-10 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Why are they both even here then.

Completely silent, Yuto is watching the other for a long moment.]


Calm down. [And that's what he says after that moment of silence.]

...But yes. I agree with you. It isn't right to make people break up for such a ridiculous reason.
relyonme: (⊱ cloudy)

[personal profile] relyonme 2016-02-11 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-- sorry. [Alba immediately straightens out his posture when told to calm down, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.]

[Not sure what to say next, he too takes a moment of silence before settling on a sigh.]

Man... what kind of god did we get saddled with to take on requests like this?
darkduelist: (I'm still fighting for peace)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-02-21 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably a god that doesn't think too much about what is right and what is wrong.

[A small pause.]

Let's find him and tell him what we think of this request.

[And if that doesn't work... well, they'll think about it when it happens.]
