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.

[So far, the repeating streets aren't dangerous, but she's been in enough things like this that she can't take it for granted that the space-warping is all there is to it.] If it comes to a fight.

[How even likely is that? Who knows. But the places she's used to are always crawling with threats.]

I don't want to take any chan—

[The shop catches her eye, as it has been for most of the time she was here, which...she finally registers as weird since she doesn't usually notice that kind of thing.] ...Does that seem strange to you?

[intohell]

I can take care of myself and whatever comes along.

[Riza doesn't know how or why, but she knows that's true. It was one of those instincts that warned don't push, don't ask - so she didn't.

Looking over at where she's pointing, Riza nods.]

Only that I've gone past it several times already. I thought at first they just looked alike, but the girls are the same every single time.

[dragonflood]

[She cracks a smile.] That's good.

[She starts heading to the shop.] Let's look into it. [She doesn't have any other leads, after all.]

Do you know anything about that kind of place? [Rekka doesn't, so if there's anything amiss, she wouldn't be able to spot it.]

[intohell]

Not that I'm aware of.

[Maybe she'd visited similar places when she was alive. It wasn't as if Riza could remember it though. And if this was the first time? Well, that was acceptable as well as long as they finally figured out what was going on.

The girls outside the cafe start to wave at the women as the approach. Welcome to the Hippity Hop Cafe!]

[dragonflood]

[Rekka's so used to splitting up at times like these that she nearly suggests it, but those times were always with people from her organization. In a place that she hasn't fully gotten used to yet, sticking together might be the best course of action...]

Do you think we should split up? ...I don't know what I'd be looking for. It might be better for us both to look over the entire thing.

[There's another thing, too, but questioning the people doesn't even occur to her.]
