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.

[ Hm. Europaran or North Pamerican? Hibiki supposes it doesn't really matter.

Out of consideration for the young miss, however, she'll start sprinkling her Japanese with otherwise unnecessary English. ] I'm afraid prior commitments call me away...

[ Will this lovely young miss permit her to bring their hands to her lips? ] Our meeting was destined to be fleeting. But I won't forget you, my fair lady.

[ Perhaps she can get her wrist free if she kisses the back of the girl's hand. ]

[ hard same on that unnecessary english thing. they've got that much on lock.

mari cooes and giggles appropriately when her hand gets kissed--goodness, this girl is so charming!--but is also 100% not giving this up. you will have to pry yourself away from her cold, dead hands. that's american business techniques for you. ]

And I won't forget you either! How could I! [ her smile brightens. ] I know for sure I'd never forget anyone who would help me recruit--especially someone as charming and sweet as yourself, no? It wouldn't take long for someone of your talents...~

[ Oh, she's onto you. Hibiki's eyes narrow, appreciative of the skill if not the demands on her time. ] A businesswoman, I see.

[ And then she tries to liberate her wrist with a tug. She's very strong. And dashing. ]

The Ohara family is famous worldwide for a reason! It's our passion that's made my family so succesful! ★ [ with a wink, she finally relinquishes her grip with the tug, but takes a step forward.

her smile has yet to waver. terrifying. ]

With such a keen eye, it'd be a waste for you not to help this suffering business out.

[ Hibiki massages her wrist. She takes a step back as Mari takes a step forward, and decides to match skill for skill. To an unerring eye for business, she offers -

true celebrity.

The smile she turns on Mari is nothing short of dazzling. It puts her other smiles to shame. ] Unfortunately, I've already stated my case, so....

[ Another step backwards. ]

A~ah, your heart is so shiny! [ mari cooes at her smile: it's really and truly dazzling. her other hand goes to her heart, and then she pulls it away abruptly and claps her hand together. ] I can see it! It'd be so great to have you here with me--when you smile at me like that, I don't want to let you go.

[ she hums. ] But! I do understand. Time is important, after all. [ continuing to smile...though she has a bit of a glint in her eye. ] Then perhaps you'd be willing to allow them to sponsor you in your escapades? Then you can leave and you're still helping. We both win! ♥

I select my own sponsors. [ It isn't working. She's giving this girl her best material and it isn't working. What will? More flattery?

But that would just be seen through...and she'd rather not get close enough for the girl to grab hold of her again...

Focus. She is Shikyoin Hibiki. Everything is possible for her.

So she pulls a tiger lily from her pocket, kisses it, and flicks it gracefully towards the girl. ] To the diamond pinnacle of persistence.

[ That's. Probably. A compliment? ]
