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.

Let's hit that combo scene

[The way the sky looked seemed a bit troubling enough, but then he hears a voice calling out and it's enough to catch his attention.

He looks over, wandering over and just. Kind of watches.]


...What are you doing?
deltogling: (So about season 2...)

[personal profile] deltogling 2017-04-02 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's catching quite a few people's attention. The public are suckers for fortunes, be they from cookies or underwear. Add a cute girl like her and some good projection? This is about what she could expect.

Which is why she can answer this person with a straight face- Well no, she's smiling because that attracts people this way, but her words are plain and without any kind of embarrassment or shyness. ]


Attracting customers, of course.
lostinshadows: ([02] To hold our heads up high)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-04-02 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Seems like you seem to be doing a good enough job.
deltogling: (It's hard being me)

[personal profile] deltogling 2017-04-02 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Good enough?

[ She was doing an excellent job- but that's an opinion by someone who isn't all too humble. Though she comes up with a reason for the words; possibly giving too much credit to them, but it's hard to resist tooting her own horn just a little. ]

People love a good fortune, and the sky is providing a good opportunity. The request was in the bag once that happened.

[Lavi looks amused, chuckling.]

Well, it's sure to bring in some customers for you in the mean time.
deltogling: (Been there done that)

[personal profile] deltogling 2017-04-02 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
At least until it's time to deal with that.

[ To which she pointedly looks up to the sky. Dealing with the things causing the color change is another part of their jobs, isn't it? ]

I wonder if there really is any other effect aside from what we see...
lostinshadows: ([07] Come crashing down from far above)

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-04-02 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Right, that.

[Lavi glances up at the sky. The ayakashi were still gathering, darkening the sky, and to any human, it would mean an ill omen.]

It's a curious thing, isn't it? Unless they come closer, that will just continue to scare the people.
deltogling: (So about season 2...)

[personal profile] deltogling 2017-04-02 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I mean, it's only scaring a few of them. About just as many love it. Most are, well,

[ She gestures towards some of the living who were either taking pictures of the sky, or trying to fix their selfies to catch that and still get a good angle on themselves. Then again, who's to say that isn't their way of coping with the unusual. ]

Still, there hasn't exactly been anything official. Just the standing responsibility about how they should be handled.
lostinshadows: ([21])

[personal profile] lostinshadows 2017-04-02 03:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Or it just hasn't affected them yet.

[Even still, humans are just humans, after all.

The ayakashi alone is enough to make people realize that something good is not happening.]


If any of our gods were around, we may be able to Rend them.
