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.

Wh-WHOA!?

[Uh okay, one second he's asking someone for directions and the next... that someone isn't there anymore and he's being dragged away by the collar.]

The hell is going on!?

[It's a damn good thing he's so good on his feet because he breaks into a bit of a run to keep up rather than fumbling along like an idiot. Eventually though, he manages to wriggle his collar free of the person's grip and whips around, his face red with anger.]

I wasn't even lookin' at the girls!

[And the lie detector test determined: that was a lie.]

[thevanguard]

[ Yata jabs a finger at him when he finally pulls free, but now they're safely half a block away so he doesn't mind slowing as well, circling back around on his skateboard until he stops in front of the guy. ]

That's obviously a lie. But I don't care. Dude, there's something weird with them! Didn't you notice?

[forreal]

[Totally something weird about them, now that Yata mentions it...]

Yeah man, I did. They're like, wavin' at me and stuff... one blew a kiss at me earlier. Girls never do that.

[He might have missed the point entirely. That, or he hit the nail right on the head. Is there really any in between?]

[thevanguard]

What? No, that's not what I'm talking about.

[ Probably not, but he still doesn't want to hear about your weird dating stuff, alright. ]

Look, everything keeps looping back to this one damn spot. It doesn't matter how far you try and go or how fast, or even how high. It always dumps you right back here.

[forreal]

[Aw, come on Yata. Are you saying you don't wanna hear all about his complete lack of a dating life?

He stares at Yata like he's grown another head. Or three.]

Huh? You sure you're not losin' it, man? I'm sure it's got somethin' to do with my GPS, it's been messed up since this morning when I got here.
