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!

It's probably best to ignore the dent, yes.]
Mm, mm.
[She shakes her head at the word 'deity,' even as she whips the flowers around some more.]
Ah!
[And that's a nod at the word 'shinki.' Her facial expression hasn't changed a whole lot during all of this, though.]
no subject
So, shinki it is. [ He waves his hand as if he was drawing a line in the air ] You can make this Borderline, right? Try using it on them.
[ A helpful advice it might be, but also a curious experiment. Since the ayakashi are so tiny, could the effect of barrier actually destroy them? ]
no subject
Ah! Mm, mm.
[With two quick little nods of recognition, she steps back, planting her mace into the ground with one hand while casting the borderline with the other. The tip of her finger glows, sending the line shredding through the air toward the ladybug ayakashi on the flowers. Unfortunately, she doesn't really know how to moderate the strength of her attacks, so the line is at full power when it hits.]
no subject
...that's impressive!
[ He claps slowly while flower petals fall around them- ah, yes, the flowers didn't survive the lines, and hopefully neither did the small ayakashi. Or maybe they just got pushed far, far away with sheer force.
Good thing they can't be fined with the destruction of collage property... ]
no subject
[There's a satisfied little hum at the compliment, though her expression does fall a bit when she sees what's become of the flowers. Kneeling down, she sadly picks up a stem with a single petal left on it and frowns.]
Uuuuu...
no subject
Look--[ He scoops another mostly broken flower out of the mess, however, this one has both its roots and stems intact. Then he puts it into a barely cracked pot ] If you keep it and take care of it, it will bloom again.
[ Wow, wow, much wise, so very druid-like, he might just puke for getting into the role so much. But eh, there is no denying she dealt with the problem and now only gets sadness for that victory... ]
Juuuust... best to keep it away from humans.
[ Is preserving a flower that attracted ayakashi in first place a responsible thing to do? ]
