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!

[ That's what Caster gets for making a break from work and sitting in one of the empty chairs. Not like other workers could notice him anyway, and yet one does and mistakes him for a client- ]
Wait! I work here too! [ he's ready to jump away if any sharp tools get too close to his hair ]

[ How thoughtless of her! Fuwari's free hand goes to her mouth. ] I got so absorbed in the work, I wasn't paying attention...

headhair is safe... ]No offense taken.
[ You crazy child, keep rocking on ]
Say, is that your own equipment? I don't remember them having likes of these here. [ Yes, he's pointing at the sheep shears ]

I have this, as well. [ And here is a brush for carding wool. ]
no subject
[ While he would not want to be on the sharp-edged end of these tools, he's... fascinated, how this girl is using them. Morbid curiosity it is ]
Don't mind me, I'm just going to continue taking a break, and admire your handiwork at the same time.
[ ...on the other hand, the lazy break is now looking less and less enticing ]
Unless you'd be interested in a small contest?

[ She sounds more curious than anything else, but you have her interest. ]
