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.

[ Eh, he's seen weirder. And he might have heard some random thoughts from the light before sit turned into a person so he isn't really surprised anyway.

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. ]

[That's not very specific, but she can respect wariness.]

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?

[ He sighs, and shakes his head. ]

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.

[...Ah. Just a stamina issue. Not injured, then. Some of the urgency drains out of her.]

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.]

[ Stamina and poor health. The air in the Near Shore is rough on him though. Even more so after having encountered the perfect air in the Far Shore. ]

Hmm? No, it wasn’t. Outages happens sometimes, though.

[personal profile] dragonflood 2017-06-07 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
This wasn't a normal outage. How long ago did it happen?

[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.

[ He shakes his head a little. ]

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. ]

[personal profile] dragonflood 2017-06-09 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[That'll make it harder, but... Well, it's not like she can blame anyone for not keeping track.]

Thanks anyway.

[More importantly...] How long will it take for you to recover?

[ He simply smiles at her thank you, and then after a little while he shrugs. ]

I don’t know.
