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!

Rope Bridge Rumble
[Inanimate objects are known for their crafty, cheating ways. Also how do you get into the top ten of... people that fail at bridges? Sorry, Caster but you are not dealing with the sharpest tool in the shed.]
Can I get a do-over?
no subject
[ Caster just grins and plays along. Without informing that it's sadly not a skill rating, so being in top-ten was possible six people ago. ]
no subject
[It's fine. Explaining anything to Lann is usually a waste of time anyway. He grins and scrambles back toward the platform.]
Okay! These ropes aren't gonna know what hit 'em.
[
And he carefully and sensibly makes his way acrossHaha no. He just rushes across the ropes same as before. Possibly he thinks this is a race.And of course he pointedly does not bother paying attention to his surroundings. Which is why he misses the small monkey-like ayakashi tugging juuust a bit on one of the ropes. Just enough to turn it into a tripping hazard.]
no subject
[ The ayakashi finally reveals itself! Maybe it did not expect dropping sometimes for the second time, or maybe Lann's rushing through the bridge would make him pass it with no problem. ]
You made it into top three of stylish falls today, kid!
[ And without as much as a word of warning he draws a rune in the air, sending a small fireball right in the ayakashi's direction. Being very monkey-like it evades it, and the bridge... well it might be catching fire. ]
no subject
[Lann appreciates the compliment. And he actually avoids the tripping hazard quite nimbly..... just in time for it to get lit on fire.]
AHH!
[With a very undignified little shriek that he will vehemently deny later, Lann leaps to a nearby rope, just barely catching it. The look he shoots Caster is somewhere between confused and affronted.]
What the honk, man?!?
