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!

[Of course the person who turns out to be next to Mukuro is confused and walking in circles, because that person happens to be Ken. Of the entire Kokuyo gang, Ken's probably the worst at perceiving when something's an illusion. He relies heavily on his senses, reacts to things on keejerk instinct(which is to say he doesn't take time to study or question them much beyond his initial perceptions), and on top of being hotheaded, he's not the brightest. He's easy picking for any illusionist...

...mostly.

He's currently sniffing the air, looking puzzled.]


The smell's weird here, byon...

[Ken's sense of smell has been sending him conflicting messages with his sense of sight, is the problem, though Ken hasn't pinpointed the contradiction yet and would have a hard time articulating the conflict even if he did. Like his fellow Sun flame Ryohei, Ken has his own, more physical ways of piercing the veil of illusions - and it's a rare illusionist who accounts for having to deceive the olfactory senses. Probably no one but Mukuro, Chrome, and Fran would ever consider it as a necessity for a truly convincing environmental illusion - and that only because they know what it would take to fool someone like Ken.]
