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!

But here he is, a dead spirit that can perform borderlines so... Start believing in the impossible, Shion.
He smiles too.]
I think that's the best explanation I'll be able to get. Thank you. I suppose it's not so much different than shinki skills...
keywords xD
[So it's not completely fairy tale like. There are rules to everything!]
...It's kind of amazing I can talk about this with someone else.
[He chuckles lightly.]
no subject
Ahhh...? [He looks a bit flattered.] It's nice to hear about new concepts! I just wish I could tell you more about where I come from as well.
[Just shinki things.]
no subject
[Ruca keeps on smiling... until he hears the other part, that is. And his expression immediately becomes depressed.]
...I'm sorry.
no subject
You don't have to be. I'm enjoying hearing about your magic and world. I was just commenting that it would be nice to share my own stories too. I didn't mean to make you feel awkward about that.
[It's just the way things are.]
no subject
[He waves his hand a little.]
...I just find it a little sad. Memories are important... [He knows all too well about it. But then he shakes his head. This isn't what he is supposed to talk about! After all shinki... shouldn't remember because something bad might happened to them.
Quick! He needs to talk about something else!]
A-anyway! This place is really different from my world. Like... the technology! It's so advanced here!
no subject
So he'll let it drop, for Ruca's sake. Not his.]
Do you think so? I always thought it was a little outdated... At least, I feel there could be a lot of improvements on it!
no subject
You really think so?
[The world Shion is from must be even more advanced. Ruca finds that fascinating but of course, he doesn't say it out loud.]
In my world the most recent big invention was the steam engine.
no subject
[He blurts that out a little faster than he means to. That's... not advanced at all. He blushes a little and rubs his hair.]
That's quite a few centuries behind the technology here I think...
no subject
That's why I was so amazed by everything they have here...
[Then he looks into the distance, smile still in place.]
There's still so much I don't know about this place.
[It's clear he likes learning new things. He's having a lot of fun here.]
no subject
You and me both then. You a little more, maybe. But if you'd like I can help you along with things. If you have questions about technology or anything I think I can help.
[Shion needs to learn more about this world in a god-shinki sense. Everything else he feels he's pretty up to date about.]
no subject
[He looks at Shion immediately, eyes shining a little and a big smiles soon spreading on his face.]
Thank you so much!
[And then he suddenly makes an awkward look... He probably was too enthusiastic about that. But he can't help himself! He loves learning new things!]
