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.

Sneaky Snakes
[Tsuna isn't so keen on dealing with snakes. He doesn't like them, they don't like him either. So he tends to keep away from them just to maintain the peace. However, in this role, he couldn't ignore the ayakashi's involvement with the reptiles. So he tries to solve the problem on his own, attempting to lure the snakes into a trap.

Though it totally backfires, and somehow he gets the snakes to wrap around his whole body. You might come across Tsuna screaming his head off, and rolling on the ground as if he's on fire. Though the snakes hold on him gets even tighter. Will someone help this poor kid? Doesn't anyone hear that annoying shrill he makes? Make him stop!]

Tummy Troubles

[ Tsuna knew a lot about stomach aches. He has a fair share of them thanks to a certain someone's sister he knows. Though he doubts that person is the root of the problem. So he decides to investigate. It couldn't be anything normal, if people are ending up in critical condition in the emergency room.

So when Tsuna enters the restaurant, he goes straight to the back, hoping none of the workers or patrons will say anything. The establishment is pretty pristine, and even the kitchen is spotless. All except for the corner of the kitchen where the stove is. There's an ominous darkness that seems to stem from there. There's a man standing in front of large pot of soup. Stirring it over roaring flames as he pours ingredients into the mixture. However, Tsuna notices that there's something off about the cook. Especially the things he's putting into the food.They have eyes and the food are rancorous in appearance.

The ingredients are all possessed by ayakashi, and the cook might even be a bit possessed too, to not see anything wrong with the batches they put in. Before the cook could put anymore into the soup. Tsuna runs up to him and pushes the poisonous ingredients out of its hand.]

Nooo! You can't use that?!

Underwhelming Underwear

[ Tsuna didn't see anything wrong with the underwear, but he suppose he's a simple guy. He doesn't know how he could display them in a way to make them seem exciting as they want. There's nothing he could do about the design, but he can change how people see the underwear. He's been caught in his own drawers enough to laugh at himself now.

Still he doesn't quite glow confidence, when he's doing various activities in his underwear. To throwing a beach ball back and forth or even eating a pizza or reading some manga. Maybe some by-passer would like to help Tsuna in his wacky idea?]

SLAMS THE FUCk down in here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-Snakes

[disciplineking]

Wandering the Near Shore was now much easier with his possibly-illegally gotten motorcycle; made not easy by the fact ayakashi were at it again. It was really annoying because again he was reminded he was just a shinki, but these ones looked small. And were possessing animals.

He didn't really have any money on him to steal, but Hibari stopped his motorcycle once he saw someone rolling around and screaming from the snakes. Really? It was obviously a Far Shore resident, a really stupid one at that.

If he was going to be collecting all these snakes, he didn't need some moron rolling around in them. So Hibari stalked over to the unfortunate god and started kicking him to get the snakes off. And if he actually kicked the kid in the meantime...two birds with one stone. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

D-don't slam down too hard, okay?!

[goeshyper]

Yes, a really stupid Far Shore resident. Despite his own stupidity and not having a shinki along with him, Tsuna still wanted to help. Though Tsuna should've considered his own fear. Maybe he wouldn't be in such a quagmire now, if he had thought a bit harder before accepting this prayer.

Luckily someone was coming. He couldn't hear the rumble of the motorcycle, due him screaming very loudly. Though, he did feel the sharp kick that, of course, hit him right on the side. Making him cry out in pain, his brown eyes looking over to see who kicked him."UWAHHH!"

At first, Tsuna had to do a double take at the familiar face. He was about to call out Hibari's name, but he paused, remembering what he was told when he first arrived. He couldn't reveal the past of shinki, since it would cause them pain.

It didn't seem as if Hibari recognized him either, although the guardian was treating him with the same respect as he usually did. None at all. "I-I was trying to catch these snakes."

Trying being the keyword here. There's another kick, which just made the snakes constrict around his frame a bit tighter. Making Tsuna flail around more helpless and with desperation. "H-Hey! Can you stop kicking me?! They're going cut off my circulating!"

i make no promises

[disciplineking]

Hibari definitely did not recognize Tsuna, though he did notice the double take the kid did when he was looked at. He wasn't sure exactly what that meant, but thankfully for right now he was distracted by the snakes attempting to turn Tsuna into a human burrito.

He gave Tsuna one last kick for being annoying before raising two of his fingers and slashing at the side of the god's body, causing the snake ayakashi to screech and fall off of him. Any that tried to attack Hibari himself merely got pushed back by Roll, who had formed a ball and was now rolling around and crushing the snakes to the best of his ability.

Hibari then lifted Tsuna by his collar. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't bite you to death."

*cries*

[goeshyper]

There was no need for that kick! Though all Tsuna could do was groan in pain once more, still unable to move or really do anything about it. Though he was grateful to be freed, even if the snakes were sliced in half. The remainder being rolled over by a spiky porcupine. He felt sorry for the snakes, even if they were scary, but at least they wouldn't bother anyone anymore.

Tsuna managed to get one sigh of relief our before he was lifted up by his collar, being confronted by Hibari. Tsuna's eyes went wide and squealed feebly as Hibari said his catchphrase. And....Tsuna didn't have a good rebuttal at all.

"U-um..." He did tried to think really hard. There really wasn't much to stop Hibari from biting anyone to death, if he really wanted to. Except there was a good reason that conveniently came up. Tsuna started shaking as he noticed something behind the shinki. He slowly lifted his finger up, and pointed a bit higher their both of their statures. "B-b-b-behind you!"

If Hibari did look behind him, he'll see a large snake-like ayakashi behind him. Probably awoken by slaying of his smaller comrades. The ayakashi looked pretty angry, and ready to devour both of them.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO also tummy aches or something

[kokuyoyo]

I mean. He has been for the past week, so.

[If Tsuna nearly has a heart attack from the quiet dull voice coming from the side, well, it's fine. Even before the Far Shore, out of Kokuyo, he's always been the quietest and easiest to overlook. God knows that Ken has always been loud enough to draw all attention anyway.]

[But Ken isn't here right now (although, undoubtedly, lurking around nearby), and it's only Chikusa. There's no recognition in his eyes as he glances over Tsuna, although, again... It's Chikusa. Emotion and him seem to have broken up a long time ago and are no longer on speaking terms.]

'Sup? [1/2]

[goeshyper]

[ At the voice, Tsuna does turn around. Realizing a bit belatedly that someone else was in the kitchen. There's a bit of recognition in Tsuna's eyes, only because he couldn't quite forget the Kokuyo gang. He's has his shares of nightmares about them, so they are etched into his brain. However, he bites his tongue. He remembers that he couldn't speak of a shinki's past, and since he can't confirm whether Chikusa is shinki or a god, he decides not to mention it.]

[2/2]

[goeshyper]

[ But still! What's with this nonchalance?! The cook is poisoning people!]

W-Why didn't you stop him? People are ending up in the hospital, and getting really sick!

[ The plate that the cook has falls on the floor and shatters. All the ayakashi flavored foods is all over the floor, and crawling now that it's grown a pair of legs. They are running up to Tsuna, and the god starts to panic. Throwing things in between them to give him some space.]

HIIIII!

[kokuyoyo]

I thought it'd be interesting to watch. It's not my god's problem.

[Ice cold.]

[Still, he sighs as the ayakashi start to crawl along, and raises his hand. In a flash, literally, a borderline suddenly cuts through the room and shines bright- a mostly impenetrable barrier. At least, it should hold against low level creatures like this.]

What are you even doing...

[goeshyper]

[Not his god's problem? Well...Chikusa did have a point. Gods didn't really know what right and wrong truly was, people and shinki have more of a sense of morality. Even more a reason why Tsuna feels Chikusa should have seen something wrong with this picture!

Tsuna backpedals back to the other side of the room, luckily Chikusa draws a borderline so the food ayakashi isn't still chasing him. Though he must look like a idiot in front of this guy. Making a scene only to cower when things became too real!]

I-I don't know. I didn't think it was going to sprout legs and crawl towards me!

[Maybe he's asking too much for people to learn the error of their ways, so he didn't have to deal with them. Definitely asking a lot! He gets up from his place on the floor, turns toward Chikusa, not sure what to make of someone who finds this entertaining. Though he did make that borderline for him, so maybe he doesn't want to be just a spectator.]

...A-are you really just here to watch?

Sneaky Snakes

[gottastaycalm]

[ There's a heavy boot that suddenly stops his careless rolling before a hand comes down, electrifying each snake enough to stop their movement and allow the Decimo to free himself. ]

You should be more careful, young Vongola.

[goeshyper]

[Except that some of that electricity affects Tsuna as well, making his hair stand on end and smoke. The snakes are off of him, but he's definitely fried along with them.]

T-thanks...

[ Should he be thanking him for shocking him too? Though, Tsuna looks more closely at the other as he calls him by a name, people only call him back home. At least one of his names.]

L-lambo?! You recognize me?

[gottastaycalm]

[ He offers him a gloved hand. ]

Yare, yare. And here, I thought you'd be a shinki like the rest of them.

[ After all, you're dead in his timeline. ]

[goeshyper]

[He takes Lambo's hand, using it to help stand up.]

So? You're also a shinki?

[He then let's go of Lambo's hand, to dust himself off. Why is it that he always ends up dirty?!]

I don't know why I'm a god, I feel I would have been better suited to be a shinki too. Someone must have made a mistake.

Underwear + worst shinki ever, let's do this. Assuming they're partners and have been introduced.

[onethousandflowers]

[Byakuran wasn't totally sure what his god was up to, to be honest. He'd sent him away - something about being embarrassed if someone he knew saw him? - but he couldn't exactly stay gone from the little guy forever. Especially since they are ridiculously far from any shrines, so he can't get back to the far shore easily. And he spent all his train money on sweets.

Which is why he seeks out and finds Tsuna, almost naked, trying to act cool on the beach, completely red in the face. This is... rich. It's hilarious. He bursts out laughing, a familiar sound.]

Tsunayoshi-kun, you know they can barely see you, right?

[goeshyper]

B-Byakuran?! Didn't I tell you not to come?!

[ He sent him away for a reason, and now he knows the shinki will totally make fun of him. Even if people couldn't quite see him, he still wants to make an effort. Look he's trying,okay?!

Now that his shinki is here, Tsuna feels a bit more self conscious and tries to cover his body with his arms.]

I-I guess, no one can really see me. [Maybe this is why Tsuna feels brave enough to expose himself. He looks over to Byakuran a bit shyly.] Do you have any ideas?

[onethousandflowers]

[When doesn't he have ideas. Byakuran taps his lip before smiling at Tsuna.]

Well, you could always put a little effort into being seen. Or wait a few years and grow ten inches. Maybe then people will look at you without making you work for it!

[Never let it be said that Byakuran's not a harsh asshole. Tsuna's got muscles, but he's still a shrimp, and his shinki towers over him, especially when he's leaning forward. Which he is now. His grin reaches his eyes easily, slightly distorting the tattoo on his face and the kanji under it - 知.]

Where did you leave your clothes? I need money.

[goeshyper]

H-How is that even constructive criticism?!

[These ideas of Byakuran's sounds more like mean spirited insults. He couldn't do much about his height, just wait hopefully for his growth spurt. Tsuna hopes that it does come, and put a few inches on him. Not that it will change his personality any.

He sighs as Byakuran inquires about his clothes, looks like his spendthrift shinki is looking for more money. Didn't he give him funds to travel with? Did he squander that...again?!]

What happened to the money I gave you earlier? [It should've been enough to keep Byakuran entertained. Apparently not.] ...I hope you didn't spend it on sweets again. How are you going to get home?

rng picked underwear :'D

[fiammadellaterra]

[Enma had been going about his own business when something comical catches his eye.

And that someone he knows was engaged in said activity.

If Tsuna isn't embarrassed, his friend here is. Being in your underwear in front of people would be the most mortifying experience in the world to him. So Enma is doing his best to try and blend in with the crowd. It probably isn't working since how many people actually have red hair like his?? He's going to quietly plead to the other gods he's met in this place/ Please don't let him see me. Please don't let him see me.]

[goeshyper]

[ For the most part, not many people noticed Tsuna anyway. Even if his efforts are bold, he doesn't quite give the underwear the exposure they need in order to compete. Despite Enma trying his hardest not to be recognized, Tsuna does see that dark red hair and the meek stature of the Shimon Boss. Could it be him? Would Enma even remember him?

Either case, Tsuna forgets about his own state of dress, and tries his best to flag Enma down!]

U-um...Enma?! Is that you? H-Hey! [Tsuna hopes to the other gods that he hasn't mistaken the Shimon youth for someone else. That would be pretty embarrassing. Especially in his underwear.]

[fiammadellaterra]

[There's times where Enma really did not like standing out like this with his appearance. Even now in the Near Shore he couldn't escape his incredible bad luck.

And there goes the thought that maybe Tsuna was a shinki.

An incredibly nervous smile crosses his face as he tries to both shrink and stand taller. It results in a sort of awkward hunch.]

Ts-Tsuna. [Can't pretend he doesn't know the Vongola Boss.] It's me... what are you doing?

[goeshyper]

[Unfortunately, Tsuna felt he should have been a shinki, but lo and behold, he was brought in as a god. He didn't feel he fit into the role, but here he is.

Enma should have known, that Tsuna had awful bad luck. So much bad luck that he's always stuck with a role, he doesn't want.

It's only when Enma finally acknowledges him that Tsuna realizes that he's in his underwear. There's a moments delay, before he becomes red in the face. He flails around as he tries to hide behind something.]

U-um...w-what am I doing? It's nothing perverted,or anything! I was just trying to help this shop out.

UNDERWEAR

[thekillerwhale]

Mm...They look like they're good quality. That's what matters, right?

[Makoto picks up a pair of some plain black briefs and pulls on the elastic band. Makoto also isn't all about high-fashion underwear. That's more of Rin's territory.]

Maybe we can display that.

[Because Makoto isn't going to start modeling or anything. though that would probably be a good idea]

[goeshyper]

[ Tsuna is starting to think he's just making a fool of himself, and he probably is. However, he feels a bit better about the situations since he's able to draw another god over to help out.

The shorter god smiles a little, feeling he can relate to him.] W-well I think quality and comfort are important. But I guess that's not what makes things popular.

[ Displaying good quality is one way to up sell these boring underwear, but will it be enough to compete with the trends? Tsuna's not sure.]

M-maybe we could do some sort of demonstration of which one is the better quality. Like in the commercials...people choosing from product A and product B?

[thekillerwhale]

[Makoto nodded his head in agreement.]

That's actually a good idea.

[He put his hand to his chin in thought.]

Let's see...so what would make underwear good quality....

Holding its shape, elasticity, longevity, and the way it's made?

What else?
