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.

[Shion will move behind the chair to help push her so she can rest easy.]

Hmm? I don't ... [He glances around and notices that they're are some girls nearby chattering.] There's a coffee shop nearby with some girls speaking to each other.

[And making googly eyes at them but Shion doesn't register that.]

[pinkyswearsis]

[She sits back in her chair, hands folded in her lap and a prim posture as she clearly listens closer. Then she nods.]

Ah, yes, they do sound like they are service workers. There is no one besides them - other than us - would you agree?

[Because that seems weird to her, for this seeming to have been a busy street not too long ago.]

[asterflower]

[Her keen sense has Shion paying attention. He slows them to a stop and glances around. It's quiet, aside from the giggling girls that are whispering to each other.

He sighs.] In reality this place should be littered with people. So the only seemingly logical cause of that is something supernatural...

[He believes in science. He's never going to get used to this sort of afterlife.]

[pinkyswearsis]

[Little does he know that she's in the same boat, but she nods anyway. It's a hard thing to deny when you're a shinki and you literally change shape for your god.]

Something supernatural like... one of those ayakashi they have told us about? I have never seen one.

[She actually smirks a little at that, for how serious the situation is. She made a joke at her own expense.]

Perhaps one of the girls is responsible?

[asterflower]

Nunally... [He chastises softly. He reaches to squeeze her shoulder gently. But he's smiling and shaking his head.]

I haven't seen one either, so...

[He turns her chair and glances at the girls again.]

Let's go ask.

[Might as well, right? He starts them over in that direction.]
