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!
no subject
Toushirou breathes out, a glance at her brush. It's definitely not the strangest weapon he's seen, so it goes over him quite well.]
I can use ice.
[Is that helpful or specific enough?]
no subject
...Alright.
[If he mentions it in response to her (she admits to herself) awkward explanation, then she assumes he must know how to use it, so she simply trusts in that and starts walking. She didn't want to be surprised, but there's always discovering each other's abilities when it comes time to use them.]
[She weaves her way through, occasionally pulling her hand away or shunting the bodies aside, but for the most part, it's like she doesn't even see them.]
They must have been revived for a purpose. ...I don't like how many of them there are.
no subject
If Rekka doesn't bother explaining her own abilities, he sees no point in elaborating on his.]
Better question would be what purpose they've been brought back for. Unless their politeness is simply a front to fool people before they end up causing a massacre around here.
no subject
How high do you rank that as a possibility? [She is already turning around to regard the corpses closest to her, because if that really is the case, then she'd need to switch her priority to protecting the people. Just as there were Makai Knights back home, there are other gods here who'd be able to target the source.]
no subject
[At least he'll admit it.
He sighs.]
Freezing them also wouldn't be much of a solution at this rate.
no subject
Let's keep going.
[Through the throng, and right smack into a series of Endless Eight streets.]
...We've passed this street before.
[On the bright side, there are less cadavers here. Though now the fish is wiggling a bit in Rekka's line of view, like it's apologizing. She sighs as the fish dissolves, having outlived its usefulness.]
Cunning... [She turns to him fully.] Something should be past here. But we have to get through here first.
no subject
He frowns a bit, expending his senses as if he could sense something odd about it. It makes his eyes narrow.]
As if those zombies weren't bad enough.
[Toushirou gives a short nod to Rekka.]
Wait here.
[With a flash step, he disappears forward, just so that she can see him actually moving forward. However, it doesn't take very long before he reappears back by her side, his expression one of hinted irritation.]
no subject
[When he reappears, the look on his face just about says it all, but she also wants to know what he did, so—] What did you discover?
no subject
It goes around in a loop.
[And isn't that irritating.]
There doesn't seem to be an exact exit.
no subject
[She knows of a spell on a doorway that can send anyone going through it back inside...but she doubts the same principle applies here. Because...of course it doesn't, but, looked at a different way...]
Can you tell where the loop is weakest? Strongest would work, too.
