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.

[She looked down rather dejected that her plan wouldn't work, but was quick to perk up when this woman seemed to have a better strategy in mind. She liked travelling with people. Especially people better at getting unlost than her.]

Oh! That's a good idea! And perhaps we can ask for a ball of twine, so we know where we came from! I usually have one, but I didn't think I would need it... I was doing so well today too.

[intohell]

Ball of twine? You know, that's actually not a bad idea. If there really is something odd going on here it would make it easier to tell.

[Would they walk along until they came back to the spot where they tied it?

Apparently, the only others on the street happen to be the two girls dressed up like someone's happy fantasy.]

Maybe they'll have an answer for us.

A friend of mine gave me a ball of twine back home because I kept getting lost. I knew I should have brought it with me today!

[ She follows the woman's gaze to the women in the costumes, and for a moment is rendered silent. She had so many questions about this, it was difficult picking which one to ask first!]

Goodness me, they look rather cold. Do humans dress up like rabbits a lot? Without proper clothes I mean.

I like the ears though. Those are cute.

[intohell]

Didn't that get in people's way?

[A long string trailing across the city, either laying on the ground or just so high off the ground could be dangerous.]

I'm not sure. It's the first time I remember seeing anything like it, personally.

[As far as Riza knows she might have dressed like that when she was alive. Or wore something else really stupid like tiny miniskirts.]

At least it's summer, so it's warm enough for it. Still, it looks really embarrassing.
