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 stops abruptly, thoroughly started by Hibiki's yelling, and turns to look at her. Pathetically. You kicked a kitten, Hibiki :c ]

A-ah...! I'm sorry!

[ Amazingly, the guy with the guitar has stopped as well, but he's staring at Acchan like he just had a religious experience. ]

H-hey... you're pretty cute. What was that song you were singing, angel?

[ Acchan glances at Hibiki before answering, a little unsure of what to do now that the guy has stopped. She hadn't quite thought it through that far. ]

It was a song from back home... Um, hey... [ She looks at Hibiki. ] You're... an idol too, right? How would you describe it? The way idols sing love songs?

[ Acchan no down this way lies only ~~gayness~~madness ]

[ With one look, she can tell -

Well, that's not so surprising. And if this girl is a fan, that means Hibiki has a responsibility to her.

So she sighs and answers the question. Her way, of course. ] Nothing capable of parting the blockage between his ear canals and his infinitesimal sense of taste.

[ To make her point clear, she physically extends an arm, both blocking the young man's access to Acchan and offering a convenient method of beginning to herd the girl away.

But she'll get in a parting shot to him. ] Leave the distribution of love to those whose affections have value.

[ A single sparkle. To drive. Home. The point. ]
