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!

Why were you nervous earlier?
[She doesn't really believe that he doesn't have any like he'd claimed, but if he's this forthcoming about what it is, then...she has no idea. She's not cunning enough in interacting with other people to not ask directly.]
no subject
[He motions to the goats as if that'll answer everything. In his mind, it should. It has absolutely nothing to do with white powdery substances.]
Don't tell me you ain't feelin' at least a little scared of what these things might do!? They're eatin' barns!
no subject
[But it's true that they don't have time for the questions when the goats are in fact eating barns, so she shelves that away and turns back to the goats.]
Is there anything you can do? I can stop their movement, but these guys are victims, too. [Unless they're actually goat
Horrorsayakashi, but...it doesn't look like that's the case.]no subject
[Whoa, hold up. He isn't sure how much he can divulge to this girl about his persona or about him being a Phantom Thief. It hasn't exactly come up much around here except with other fellow thieves that he doesn't wanna get his ass in trouble should it come around to bite him in it later.
Besides, Makoto is scary when she's mad.]
My personal god powers. [Yep, totally nailed that one.] I can run real fast, but I dunno how good that's gonna be against these guys.
no subject
[She doesn't comment on that pause; she understands wariness. They haven't reached the level of danger where keeping powers (or associations, for that matter) a secret would be harmful.]
Anything that can lure them away? [She can conjure a thing that looks like a fish, but as it's tiny and palm-sized, she doubts it would interest the goats. Most of her other spells are attacks...]
Most of the things I can do would spook them, and I don't want to do that.
no subject
I can try lurin' them away.
[And this is how bad ideas are made.]
no subject
[This is a "Consider All Ideas With Perfect Seriousness" zone. ...Rather, she's used to things like that, and the bait tactic isn't one she really relishes, despite having made use of it once or twice.]
[Besides...] And where would you lead them to?
no subject
[That's an odd comparison but one all the same. He takes a gander at their surroundings, but there isn't much else around here other than more field and barn... both of which they seem to be happily grazing upon right now.
Rubbing at the back of his neck, he offers her a sheepish smile.]
Uhhh... Figure it out as we go?
no subject
We can lure them away from the barns, at least. I can stop their movement when they're in the fields.
[She pulls out an overlarge brush (yeah, a calligraphy brush surprise), about the length of her forearm.] I can back you up until you get there.
