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!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!

It's okay, just a little longer... [ Pidge could feel the lights weakening again. ]

[Toushirou glances over at her, seeing the lights weakening.

It makes his eyes narrow before he turns back to the spirit. Placing the blade of his sword against its neck, it can be noted how the air is gradually getting colder.]


Enough with the games. [The spirit seems to flinch at the blade, shuddering in its frozen prison.] It's possible this will end if I get rid of this spirit.
verde: (smile)

[ Pidge was sure she was going to keep the lights on long enough, but she opened up her eyes a little more. This guy was actually kind of cool... not that she intended the pun! ]
freezetheheavens: ([05])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, hopefully you can keep it on a little longer, Pidge.

Toushirou cuts through the spirit, earning a pained scream before it disperses into thin air. The ice crumbles away since there was nothing left for it to imprison, and he looks over at her.]


...How are you doing over there?
verde: (ROBOT!)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Peachy...[ Pidge lets go and shakes her head. When she controls or works with technology like that, it feels like her brains being electrified.

For a moment, she waits before she speaks, but quickly gains her momentum back. ]


How'd you get your sword to do that? Is it a blade that is impregnated with ice? Did someone build it to have the ability to freeze? Is it done with a cooler breeze and them manipulates the air?

[ Pidge omg. ]
freezetheheavens: ([04])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[....

Can he leave now.]


No, it's not. Asking me that is almost similar to asking you how you can talk to that street lamp.
verde: (:O)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's just using binary to communicate to the electrical signals that move between technology.

[ Pidge, that's not an easy feat. ]

...So is your sword the same thing? It just..happens?
freezetheheavens: ([07])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Some people may argue that it's a bit more complicated than that.

[Where the hell is Kurotsuchi when he actually needs him.

But, it seems like a logical explanation to her, so he gives a nod.]
verde: (thinking)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'm sure, but I guess I don't really know how to explain some stuff here. I mean, magic can't be the reason for everything.

[ Pidge suddenly realized something. ]

Crap, I'm being really rude, my name's Pidge.
freezetheheavens: ([12])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
It's one of the reasons for this place.

[Toushirou gives her a short nod.]

Hitsugaya Toushirou. [He sheathes his sword on his back.] Are you a shinki or a god?
verde: (smile)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-03 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a shinki. Not sure how, but I am.
freezetheheavens: ([04])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-03 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Telling her it's because she's dead seems counter productive.

So, he decides not to mention that.]


You should find your god. Who knows if the next spirit that comes out turns out to be an ayakashi.
verde: (thinking)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-04 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
They're somewhere around. But those ayakashi...are they really that bad?

[ Pidge was new to this place, so she wanted to hear the opinions of others. ]
freezetheheavens: ([14])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-04 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
They can be.

[From what he's been told anyway.]

But it's best to be safe than sorry.
verde: (smile)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-05 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
That's true. Been trying to get more information on them but it doesn't seem any of the people I've met know a whole lot.

[ Pidge shrugged. ]

It was nice working with you though, Hitsugaya.
freezetheheavens: ([53])

[personal profile] freezetheheavens 2017-06-05 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Many of the people here could be knew.

[A short nod.]

Same as you. Be careful.
verde: (smile)

[personal profile] verde 2017-06-07 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
You as well! I hope to see you again.
