TEST DRIVE # 15



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.



Sneaky Snakes


There are a number of snakes that have become possessed by a bunch of very sneaky ayakashi. They are slithering around, silently, snaring unsuspecting passersby into their trap - their trap to steal money. That's right, these snakes are busy snatching bills and coins from whoever they can. Try to put a stop to their thieving ways, or perhaps get thieved by them yourself.

Tummy Troubles


Many of the customers of a certain restaurant are complaining of the fact that their stomachs hurt after eating there. It could just be food poisoning, but many of these people are winding up in critical condition after a couple of days. It's time to figure out what the heck this cook is actually putting in the food.

Underwhelming Underwear


A family run business has been selling underwear for generations, but the underwear they sell is super boring and bland. Nobody wants to buy from them when cooler underwear is just around the corner. They've asked you to help them bring customers back in - by making their boring underwear seem as cool and hip as possible! How you do that is up to you.

Vividly Violet


There are so many ayakashi making their way through the air that at sunset the sky is turning an absolutely gorgeous shade of purple. Near Shore residents are reacting to this in varying ways. Many are delighted by the beautiful sky, but just as many are terrified that it's a sign of the end of times. Try to take down some ayakashi to make the sky less purple. Or just sit back and watch the beauty.

Wonder Wall


Anyways, there's this college boy who won't stop playing his acoustic guitar. He's from the US and is trying to pick up Japanese chicks. By now he should've somehow realized that they're totally not interested in him. But the song just keeps getting louder and louder and all that the people near the campus can hope is that today is gonna be the day that he stops playing. Maybe you're gonna be the one that saves them.



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!

[ Somehow it doesn't register for Lux that the woman who was just advertising underwear on the street like it was nothing was the one suddenly snaring her arm. A plastic bag hanging from her other arm, the small blond stops, fluttering a blink and looking at Mari as if she was trying to process what was asked.

Because really, did you just ask her if she wanted to... wait what? ]


Ah? A what?

[ She's just trying to get groceries home. whut. ]

[ Mikoto rises to his feet, paying little attention to the snakes and their aggressor. ]

Something like that.
monkeyblue: (Notice Me!)

[personal profile] monkeyblue 2017-04-01 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Name me.

[Fushimi holds out a hand, turning to face the other man.]

I can't rend these snakes on my own.
lionhearrt: (Side-eye)

.........

[ Mikoto blinks. Eyes shifting to him at that statement with more than a little concern.

Congratulations. You've stumped him. ]

An easy enough solution is to take the guitar away.

[ After a moment, he shakes his head. Heaven really was screwed up. ]

I don't really think you want that.
monkeyblue: (Fushimi Ready)

sorry Mikoto?

[personal profile] monkeyblue 2017-04-01 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm asking. My god's nowhere to be found. Name me.
monkeyblue: (Tch)

[Fushimi rolls his eyes]

How? He won't let it go, they've tried.
twilightdragon: (yay)

:D

[It's hard not to hear him or notice the way that some things in the sky are moving closer to him. It's probably a good idea to move him before something happens. Corrin waves as she walks over to him.]

Hey maybe we should admire the sky from a safe place?
toremainbehind: ([02] Is neither strong nor free)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-04-01 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
No one said he'd have to be conscious for it.

[Or in one piece.

But:]


Have you tried?
lionhearrt: (You're still here?)

Don't lie to his face -_-

[ Where's Izumo when he needs him? He'd know how to take care of this even without his memories. But... that's exactly why he told himself to stop relying on him. He didn't want to burden him with his problems anymore.

With a sigh, Mikoto steps forward, walking past him. ]


You don't need to rend them to stop them.

[ His aura flares to life, sliding across his skin like a warm embrace, burning anything that touches it. ]

[...he was trying to avoid violence but hey, if someone else is encouraging it Fushimi still has his knives]

He's heavier than I am.

[Or: no, because he'll just lose if he goes for the physical approach]
toremainbehind: ([10] To grudge but not to give)

[Izumo lets out an impressed sound, looking far too amused.

Well, this woman certainly doesn't hold back, does she?

But when the man begins to curse at Celty, Izumo steps forward and smiles.]


No need to curse at the lady here. After all, she didn't kick you that hard to hurt you.
monkeyblue: (Ow....)

[personal profile] monkeyblue 2017-04-01 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fushimi steps back, somehow managing not to look as scared of the fire aura as he really is. Ugh.]

I only have so many knives.
lionhearrt: (Tired)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-04-01 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He rubs at his temple. Why was he the one stuck teaching him this stuff? ]

I'm not talking about your knives.
monkeyblue: (Tch)

[personal profile] monkeyblue 2017-04-01 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Fushimi has no idea, because wow does he suck at it. He rolls his eyes]

Tch. Like what?
lionhearrt: (What do you want?)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-04-01 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
A borderline.
monkeyblue: (Shiny Glasses of Doom)

[personal profile] monkeyblue 2017-04-01 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Will that kill them?

[Look, he just wants these snakes dead. They're a pain and thieves]

Underwhelming Underwear/Vividly Violet C-C-Combo scene!

[ There's probably one thing that Gou's learned about herself by this point, and that's how easy it is to spot a good opportunity. There was talk about a prayer going around about some boring clothes shop- She didn't have to hear about a prayer to see the purple skies while visiting the Near Shore. If her god was able to get the followers for that prayer- it didn't matter what the request was, just that they needed people, right?- then things would only get better.

Hearing someone yell about the end times coming stirred the cogs in her mind. Hearing some strangers spreading tales about meeting your Fated One or some other things finalized the idea.
]

Make and wear your destiny!

[ Borrowing a costume that looked to be a mix of fortune teller and idol (as in, taking a costume, removing fabric and making it look cuter,) the redhead is proudly calling out and attracting some of the superstitious and easily swayed Living. She certainly has the confidence and projection to get the attention. ]

Legend tells of the purple skies- This family has been making garments for generations that will absorb the luck and drive your destiny to great fortune and love! It's a special technique with such success that their business has been surviving even now.

Don't let this chance pass you by!


Wonder Wall

[ This person has been playing constantly, and the noise is starting to cause a headache. At first Gou had listened for all of a minute, taken a picture (because she had a camera on her, so why not?) and looked back at the Request that she had copied to her phone. With every chord he played, her own patience dwindled at a drastic rate.

The only thing impressive here was the determination in his playing. If only it was because he enjoyed music and not to pick up girls- which is what she had learned after getting a heads up from a few of the girls on campus.

It didn't feel right to tear him down, though. Yet it was also the easiest of options.
]

I suppose it's a small price...

[ Especially to snag the request right from someone else who wanted to get the 'reward'. Which is why, after a little 'fluffing' of the hair and clothes, the teen has no trouble pushing right past to bound up to the American with what seems like honest enthusiasm and awe.

Literally pushing past someone else that was a part of the Far Shore, with the lightest but very intentional bump.
]

Uwaaa- so cool! Ne, ne, are you from some band?

[ It's certainly gotten the music to stop ]

[Izumo has no qualms with violence, as long as it's good taste.

A soft hum.]


He may be heavier but you can be faster.
monkeyblue: (Mi~sa~ki)

[Fushimi side-eyes the older man before shrugging and letting two of his knives fall from his sleeves into his hands and walking forward, close enough to run up and grab the guitar once the idiot drops it.

Because really, anyone who doesn't drop their guitar when random throwing knives embed themselves between your feet and behind you after being through over your shoulder (which also cuts the shoulderstrap) is probably dumber than they look.

He does not drop it. Fushimi scoffs and prepares two more]


Idiot...

It's not, but with that many ayakashi, it can make the humans become sad.
toremainbehind: ([70] The mankind of her)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-04-02 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[.....

This stupid human.]


Either he's lost some brain cells or he was born this way. I feel sorry for his parents.

[But with that man's aim-]

Try throwing a knife into his guitar.
monkeyblue: (Idiots....)

[personal profile] monkeyblue 2017-04-02 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
He's lost some. He'd have died sooner than this otherwise.

[But that's a good idea. Fushimi throws the other two at the guitar, one through the body and the other through the neck.

He still doesn't drop it, but the noise stops. Sort of, at least, since now there's a screaming, swearing American on campus clutching a broken guitar.]


Tch. I'm not shutting him up.

[That'd be murder. Which is bad.]
toremainbehind: ([119])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-04-02 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm surprised he isn't dead now

[And now the guy is swearing.

Izumo listens, bemused, as he listens to the swear words.]


Well, at least he can't sing anymore.
