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.

[ Acchan falters,smiling. ] I'm not really used to posing like that...

I guess I've never really been asked to pose to bring attention to the product. Being in 00, just having your face on the product is what most companies want, I guess.

[ She tries to strike a pose that's a little more va-va-voom. Or at least as much as she can manage. ]

Mariko-chan would've been much better at this, I think.

[ Sorry, Kanade's too busy laughing for a second. You just...maybe that's...not the best pose tack for you to take after all...with that baby face...

Oh, man, her stomach hurts. She holds it while she laughs. ]

Sorry! I just....man, we've got our work cut out for us...

[ And not just because Acchan's a little young-looking for an underwear model (nobody'll want to buy underwear if the ad creeps them out, too). ]

I mean...like...I wanna help...

But this is the most boring underwear ever.......

[ Acchan couldn't help but laugh a little as well. Mariko-chan was way better at using her pheromones than she was, after all. ]

I don't have to pose sexy! I'm better at being cute, anyway.

[ She nods a little. ] You're right... but we've got to help them somehow...

We could stick to folks like glue till they buy somethin'.

[ And forgo this entirely. ] Or - if we go for a makin' a "bang!" --

Hey! [ She calls to the whole gathering, waving a hand above her head, then forming a circle with her hands. ] Anybody got a beach ball?
