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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Toushirou doesn't react much as the young girl ducks behind him. He can feel those fingers clutching his robes, earning a backwards glance at her.

However, he soon returns his attention back to the corpse as it shifts its course to head in his direction.

He sighs.]

The stubborn ones usually never do.

[Would it be too much to strike it down? No, not with the young girl currently clinging onto him, so he turns in her hold to grab her before he jumps up into the air.]

[ Nanako gives a soft yelp as they're suddenly airborne and well, that's enough to distract her from the corpse they're currently leaving behind on the ground. ]

Whoa! You can fly, too?!

Something like that.

[He stands in the air as he would if he was standing on solid ground, though he continues to keep a hold of Nanako.

Toushirou peers down at the corpse before he shifts his attention to her.]

Can you fly?

Yeah! [ She's quick to nod, although looks sheepish a moment later. ] I'm still learning, though. And sometimes if I get distracted my wings go poof!

[Ah, so she has an actual pair of wings.]

The more you practice, the sooner you'll get the hang of it.

[But back to the matter of hand--

He eyes the corpses.]

We need to gather them in a single area and keep them there until this thing is solved.

[ She glances between him and the corpse still down on the ground, her expression curious. ]

Do you have an idea on how to do that? I can help!

[A small blink.]

We'll need some sort of bait to lure them all together. Once they're gathered in one place, I can freeze them.

[ She hums thoughtfully, then glances up at him uncertainly again. ]

...They seemed interested in me?

....Are you sure you want to use yourself as bait?

[He won't protest if she insists. The corpses aren't bad by any means, but he wants her to be sure of her decision first.]

[ She glances down again because no, she is not sure at all, but do they have a better option right now? ]

Will you fly me back up if they get scary?

[Toushirou gives a nod.]

I will.

[And since she seems alright with her choice, he tightens his hold on her a little as he drops back onto the ground. Once landed safely, he puts Nanako down.]
