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!
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.
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.
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.
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~
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!
Haruka Inaba | Cuticle Detective Inaba | God
[ This guy is out wandering in a pajamas. He's at least wearing shoes...well, slippers.
Because he lost his oxygen tube and the Near Shore doesn't agree with him, he's really worn out and feels really weak. He's sitting against the wall of some building or other like a dying flower, mumbling inaudible words to himself. Up close it's something about "Nii-ni". Actually, in the end it's pretty much the only thing he's saying. ]
Endless Eight
[ Haruka has not faced the endless streets as such. He's heard about it from people passing, though, and has remained in place watching, instead of wearing himself out he's listened for the solution, and eventually he knows what to do. But dealing with salespeople is a hassle, and he usually lets Natsuki deal with those sorts of things, so he needs someone to help him out.
He listens, and he purposefully chooses to walk up to someone who, for one reason or other, won't turn down his requests. ]
Hey, excuse me? Could you help me with dealing with those people there?
Giant Goats
[ Having gotten hold of an oxygen tank that he can carry with him easily, he's somehow ended up getting dragged to the farm and there he stares up at the goat with a nostalgic look on his face. ]
Oh Don, you've grown so big~
[ Wrong goat, Haruka. ]
wildcard
[ Haruka can read thoughts and know things about people just from hearing their voice, that's always fun. ]
dark deeds
You. [Sorry, guy, here's a lady standing right in front of him all of a sudden.]
Where do you need to be?
no subject
He looks up at her, blinking a few times to focus his gaze. ]
Ah.... Far Shore.
[ Choosing to trust people aside (that's more for people he knows), he doesn't know this person so he won't tell her which temple is his. ]
no subject
Can you get up?
[Getting to the Far Shore is simple with teleportation, but without knowing if he's god or shinki (or otherwise; though from what's she's seen, ayakashi don't take human disguises here the way Horrors do), that may not be the best course of action.]
What were you doing here?
no subject
No, I can’t. I’m out of stamina.
[ You can totally refill that. ]
I was looking for a bookstore but I couldn’t find any.
no subject
Was it dark when you arrived?
[In other words, did he see what might have made everything go dark. She was investigating this issue when she spotted him.]
no subject
Hmm? No, it wasn’t. Outages happens sometimes, though.
no subject
[Not to discount abilities that can be activated while far away, but if it isn't one of those, then she might have an idea where to start searching for the culprit.]
[Speaking of...she finally realizes she hadn't explained herself.] I'm looking for what caused it.
no subject
I don’t know. I don’t have a watch with me.
[ And he isn’t as good at keeping track of time while he’s in this state. ]
Is that so?
[ He already knew that. But he doesn’t tell her that. People tend to freak out when they learn that he can hear what they’re thinking. Even if he explains that it’s not on purpose. ]
no subject
Thanks anyway.
[More importantly...] How long will it take for you to recover?
no subject
I don’t know.
