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!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!
apparently our tdms involve niles hitting on your character; cadavers
Sorry, dead man. This guy's mine.
[And with a knife he's pulled from somewhere on his body, he forces the man off and away from Ryuji. He'd like to stab him, but seeing as the man is already dead, that's not going to do a damn thing.]
Come, we're late.
[And if you want to fight him, you can enjoy being a zombie's 'bride'.]
sfghjfgkjg oh my freakin god niles
[Hold on just a hot second here.
He stops mid-sentence because nope. Nope. NOPE. First, there's some stranger holding him by the other hand and next thing he knows, he's got a knife and is forcing the other guy off of him. All Ryuji can do is stand there watching all of this go down in disbelief with him in the middle of it all.]
W-Wait, what's the knife for, man!?
[This is sketchy and he wants NO PART IN THIS.]
no subject
Oh, my apologies, I thought you wanted help. I guess I'll just leave you for the undead.
[He slips the knife away to where there are a large number more hidden. More than Ryuji may want to see on any given day.]
I'll be sure to attend your wedding slash funeral.
no subject
[He'll thank you in a second; he's just... motioning to where the knife gets tucked away as if it explains everything. That panicked hand is rubbing at the back of his neck now and he kicks at the ground with his toe.]
Thanks man, I owe you, yadda yadda, but maybe a warning before pullin' a knife out next time?
[He's about to go on about how he could've been some crazy bum, but he pauses at the sound of a scraping coming from behind them – looks like someone's grown lonely and decided to follow.]
For real...?
no subject
[The whole point of the knife is the element of surprise. That's why he has it. And also, a bow and arrow that he pulls out and nails the undead directly in the forehead.]
Surprise is the name of the game.
[And that's all there is to it.]
no subject
Did ya get 'im?
[He's just gonna... kick it with his foot to make sure before he asks anymore questions.]
no subject
[He carries a bow around with him. If he missed such a worthless target, what kind of man would he be? Worthless.]
I am specialized in death, of course.
no subject
[Not like he hasn't had exposure to weird shit like this before, what with the Shadows and all, but he doesn't look like much of a shadow to him.]
no subject
[He chuckles. He's a Shinki anyways. Not a god of anything. But... this guy doesn't know that.]
I'm a much better god of something else...
