Test Drive #20
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!
Rope bridge Rumble
An adventure park that features several scary-exciting climbs and crossings between trees using only ropes has a huge problem. The ropes are getting unexpectedly tangled up. Even worse, it sometimes happens when a customer is trying to make a crossing, tripping them up in the midst of their course! While the safety ropes have been doing their job at keeping customers uninjured, the employees are fervently praying that whatever is doing this will go away, before something worse happens.
It's the height of summer, and even men that treasure their beards, mustaches and sideburns dearly are driven to get it shaved off in the name of heat reduction. Small barbershops are being overrun with customers who want it all shaved off- some even going so far as to want their head shaved bare.
Answer the barber's pleas for a couple extra hands. May they be steady.
A performance of Macbeth is being haunted by an ayakashi causing bad luck. Props getting misplaced or needing repairs, color gels for the lights getting torn, the microphones keep kicking up feedback- The customary wish of 'break a leg' feels dangerously close to becoming real. Rescue the Scottish Play from its curse before the curtain rises!
Elementary school children go home in groups for safety. However that measure isn't helping against some children getting home very late. And none of the kids can bring themselves to say why they end up taking so many wrong turns on the way. Take up a traffic flag and your best teacher voice, and help the children find their proper way home, keeping an eye out for anything - mundane or supernatural - that might be leading the kids astray.
Cheerful violets grew unusually well this year on the college dorm veranda, to the point where the whole perimeter of the veranda is full of containers holding them. But now the flowers are nearing the end of their life, and something strange is happening to the students at the same time. As the flowers wilt and fade, so does the energy of the students living in the dorm. While it would normally be impossible to draw a connection between the two, residents of the Far Shore can see the truth- tiny ladybug-like energy-hungry ayakashi are moving from flowers to students. Take care of this however you can before the last petal falls!

[ The answer is laughed, but belied by the fact that he's still got a death grip on the safety ropes. Also he probably meant that to sound more convincing for the poor guy caught in the tangle of ropes than by the god overhead.
The bridge gives another nauseating lurch, as if being swung by an invisible hand or a strong breeze, even if the leaves in the trees didn't react to anything. ]
....Okay, maybe. Another set of hands might be useful here.

As soon as he's safe, he turns to Alibaba.]
Can you get back here on your own?
no subject
Eyes darting around, as if looking for the source, what he instead finds is the sudden snap of hemp and twine as one of the thick support ropes directly ahead of him starts to crumble and unravel. ]
no subject
Toushirou moves quick, mostly to grab Alibaba and transporting him to safety before he ends up falling. He appears with the other on safe ground, but his eyes are focused on the crumbling ropes.]
no subject
Thanks for that. [ He jabs a finger at the rope bridge, shooting a worried glance sideways at the god. ] That shouldn't have done that. It was solid and strong when I tested it before stepping out.
no subject
[An unsteady rope bridge can call for fear and fear often would lead to--
He frowns, looking around at the area.]
An ayakashi could be nearby messing around with it.

[He breathes out, gradually getting annoyed.]
I may have to scout the area a bit more.

[And he feels better thinking it could be one of those than either bad luck charm.]
no subject
[ He sounds frustrated, his gaze still scanning their surroundings warily. ]
no subject
[He might. Have an inkling where it could be.]
no subject
...no? [ A pause, as he frowns. ] Am I supposed to be able to fly? I can't say that I ever tried. [ It never occurred to him to try. ]
no subject
[He might be considering carrying Alibaba with him to look, but that might not be the best idea either.]
