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.

Tieria Erde | Gundam 00 | Shinki

[A: Endless Eight]

[At the end of the loop, when Tieria steps from the eighth block back to the first, the first thing he does is check behind an unobtrusive garbage can. Armed with a roll of bright red flagging tape, he’d been marking small, out of the way areas as he'd passed through in an attempt to prove if the area was truly trapped in a loop or if there was a different cause. It isn't until he sees the first mark he’d left behind, untouched and exactly as he'd left it, that Tieria feels confident confirming the veracity of the reports.]

So it is supernatural in nature... Then, what is the source?

[He could be commenting to his companion or to himself, depending on if anyone joined him for his investigation.]

[B: Jumping Jellyfish] (from TDM #13)

For some strange reason, a bunch of jellyfish have taken to literally jumping out of the ocean and all over the beaches. They seem to be scared of something in the water, but be that as it may, they're scaring away all the beach tourism! Quick, figure out how to get them back in the water!

[The beach is supposed to be a place for people to relax, to unwind while surrounded by the refreshing beauty of nature. It’s a place of peace, and generally speaking, things like weapons and murder are probably looked down upon.

So it’s a good thing that Tieria is a resident of the Far Shore or else he would’ve certainly stood out; poised at the end of a dock in business casual and armed with a handgun, he’s been systematically shooting down any jellyfish that dares to make their way to the beach. It’s solving one problem but creating another, as the living who have not been scared away in the first place are growing increasingly concerned over the amount of dead jellyfish washing ashore.]

[C: Wildcard]

[Hit me up with something else and I will roll with it. Or, you can contact me at byobeamspam or by PM to plan something out.]
