TEST DRIVE # 17

TEST DRIVE # 17



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.



Courtly Cadavers


Several dead bodies have very suddenly returned to life. Not only that, but they seem to be possessed by very courteous and polite spirits. So there are reports of half-rotten beings bowing down to young ladies and kissing their hands or holding open doors for other passersby. It's really nice, sure, but also really disturbing.

Dark Deeds


In the middle of the night, there is a spirit that keeps turning off all of the street lamps. Fortunately, there aren't many cars on the roads at this time. Unfortunately, the spirit is also putting out all of the cars' headlights as well. And no cell phone lights or flashlights work during that time either and it's starting to cause a lot of accidents.

Endless Eight


There are eight blocks in downtown Tokyo that have taken to repeating endlessly. As you reach the end of the eight block, you find yourself stepping onto the first block again. No amount of turning or redirecting yourself will allow you to leave the eight blocks - until you stop by a cafe with a couple of bunny girls out front and make a purchase, that is.

Further Forward


Many in Tokyo want nothing more than to be on the cutting edge of technology! And there are some wealthy people who want to be even further ahead than everyone else. That's why they've sent out a general call for new types of technology to be brought to them. And if what you bring is impressive enough, you might get yourself a nice reward~

Giant Goats


Several farms on the outskirts of the city have reported a very sudden and tremendous growth in their goats. That's right, there are two-story tall goats hanging out with the other farm animals. Other than being very large, they seem mostly the same. But since goats will eat anything, well... Let's just say a couple of farmers are going to need new barns soon.



If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!

Have fun!

It's okay, just a little longer... [ Pidge could feel the lights weakening again. ]
freezetheheavens: ([07])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Toushirou glances over at her, seeing the lights weakening.

It makes his eyes narrow before he turns back to the spirit. Placing the blade of his sword against its neck, it can be noted how the air is gradually getting colder.]


Enough with the games. [The spirit seems to flinch at the blade, shuddering in its frozen prison.] It's possible this will end if I get rid of this spirit.
welcome_home: (002)

Why more zombies though

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-06-03 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nanako had frozen at the sight of the corpse shambling towards her because it was so much like her first day here that for a moment she could only stare in horror. But then someone is speaking nearby and as that wasn't a voice she recognized, she's going to assume it's not another evil spirit trying to trick her. For once strangers meant the opposite of danger!

Which is why she's quick to duck behind him, peering out around his side at the corpse, fingers clutching the dark fabric of his robes. ]


I don't think he's listening to you.
freezetheheavens: ([12])

because it's zombies

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Toushirou doesn't react much as the young girl ducks behind him. He can feel those fingers clutching his robes, earning a backwards glance at her.

However, he soon returns his attention back to the corpse as it shifts its course to head in his direction.

He sighs.]


The stubborn ones usually never do.

[Would it be too much to strike it down? No, not with the young girl currently clinging onto him, so he turns in her hold to grab her before he jumps up into the air.]

[personal profile] forreal 2017-06-03 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, man!

[Push him away? Okay, but he just rests an elbow on Shion's shoulder instead. Come come, let Ryuji-senpai teach you all the tricks of wooing. No don't.]

Every guy's gotta have a wingman with him. It ain't any fun without it! It'll help soften the blow if they ain't into you either.
verde: (smile)

[ Pidge was sure she was going to keep the lights on long enough, but she opened up her eyes a little more. This guy was actually kind of cool... not that she intended the pun! ]
welcome_home: (027)

BEAR PUNS!!!

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-06-03 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nanako has also been caught on this loop and not even flying had gotten her out of it. Maybe teleporting would work? But before she went to try and poof back home, she hears a familiar voice from somewhere nearby and stops short, looking around with sudden excitement until she spots the source. ]

Teddie?!
forreal: (039)

[personal profile] forreal 2017-06-03 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? [He flashes her an incredulous look, not even paying attention to her question.] Who the hell keeps protein powder in their coats?

[Pardon his rudeness.]
freezetheheavens: ([05])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, hopefully you can keep it on a little longer, Pidge.

Toushirou cuts through the spirit, earning a pained scream before it disperses into thin air. The ice crumbles away since there was nothing left for it to imprison, and he looks over at her.]


...How are you doing over there?
bearpuns: (besties)

NANA-CHAN

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-03 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ Teddie turns around at the voice. He knew exactly who that belonged too and his heart swelled with warmth. ]

Nana-chan! You're here!
verde: (ROBOT!)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Peachy...[ Pidge lets go and shakes her head. When she controls or works with technology like that, it feels like her brains being electrified.

For a moment, she waits before she speaks, but quickly gains her momentum back. ]


How'd you get your sword to do that? Is it a blade that is impregnated with ice? Did someone build it to have the ability to freeze? Is it done with a cooler breeze and them manipulates the air?

[ Pidge omg. ]
cruelspider: (002)

[personal profile] cruelspider 2017-06-03 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
If that bothers you then why are you just standing there talking to it?

[She looks less then impress with Toushirou, not understanding what he thinks he will accomplish by trying. Machi moves to step around him.]

Is your sword just for show?
darkestbefore: color happy (071)

Dark!

[personal profile] darkestbefore 2017-06-03 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yona is not quite so lucky with the night vision and her climbing skills are.... mostly nonexistent. Therefore she's not really equipped to be dealing with any of this, especially since she'd been caught out here entirely by accident.

One hand is on the lamppost Obi's chosen, however, as the redhead waits for her eyes to adjust to the sudden blackness the entire street's been dropped into.

The voice coming from overhead somewhere has her head tipping back in confusion, even though she can make out almost nothing. ]


Hello?

[ Metal carriages? There's none of those around here, right? ]
thevanguard: blush loud fight (084)

no not bunny girls save him

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-06-03 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ryuji's not the only one lost, and considering these damn bunny girls keep showing up every street he turns down, Yata's beginning to suspect that maybe... they might be in on it.

Because that's obviously the logical conclusion to reach here. Never trust scantily-clad females, Ryuji. It won't end well for anyone.

Which is why he comes tearing down the street on his skateboard and doesn't even slow as he grabs the unfamiliar blond guy by the collar and drags him away with determined intent. Because anime physics make anything possible, shut up. ]


Don't trust the bunny girls! They're suspicious!
freezetheheavens: ([04])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[....

Can he leave now.]


No, it's not. Asking me that is almost similar to asking you how you can talk to that street lamp.
freezetheheavens: ([05])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
If it were normal souls, at least I'd be able to send them away.

[A glance at her.]

You standing here and talking to me does nothing either.

[Excuse him as he just jumps up to the nearest rooftop.]
thevanguard: aura fight (109)

hey look more people who can set themselves on fire!

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-06-03 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
Who's hiding?!

[ The voice comes back vaguely annoying before there's a flare of light from the alley and Yata steps around the corner of a building. His Red Aura is wrapped around him, illuminating a few feet in every direction surrounding him although doing very little about the thick darkness past that.

Although he stops short when he sees her, her own fist wrapped in blue fire. ]


Whoa. That's the first time I've seen a blue version before.
thevanguard: art loud fight (201)

you shouldn't be at all surprised by this choice.

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-06-03 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yata has been getting more and more frustrated with this weird maze trap thing and he's currently glaring at a store front across the street.

At the question, he jabs a finger in that direction. ]


I have no idea. But I bet it's their fault.

[ By which he means.... the bunny girls? ]
verde: (:O)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's just using binary to communicate to the electrical signals that move between technology.

[ Pidge, that's not an easy feat. ]

...So is your sword the same thing? It just..happens?
freezetheheavens: ([07])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Some people may argue that it's a bit more complicated than that.

[Where the hell is Kurotsuchi when he actually needs him.

But, it seems like a logical explanation to her, so he gives a nod.]
welcome_home: (018)

she didn't ask for this

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-06-03 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ Nanako gives a soft yelp as they're suddenly airborne and well, that's enough to distract her from the corpse they're currently leaving behind on the ground. ]

Whoa! You can fly, too?!
welcome_home: (096)

[personal profile] welcome_home 2017-06-03 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
TEDDIE!

[ It's yelled a bit louder this time as the little girl flings herself at him excitedly. ]

I didn't know you were here! [ And he remembers who she is! Even if she'd forgotten to worry about that in her excitement to see him anyway. ] Did you just get here? I missed you!
verde: (thinking)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm sure, but I guess I don't really know how to explain some stuff here. I mean, magic can't be the reason for everything.

[ Pidge suddenly realized something. ]

Crap, I'm being really rude, my name's Pidge.
saiyanhybrid: ([04])

i'm not. not one bit

[personal profile] saiyanhybrid 2017-06-03 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Gohan raises an eyebrow when he notices the bunny girls.

He drops down, rubbing the back of his head.]


They seem like the type of girls Master Roshi would be interested in.
bearpuns: (smiles)

[personal profile] bearpuns 2017-06-03 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I did! I was trying to talk to these nice people earlier, but they seemed to have more to worry about then to talk to me!

[ Teddie doesn't even hesitate to pick her up and hug her, spinning around. ]

Oh, Nana-chan, I'm so happy you're here! I missed you too!
