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!

[ She snaps her fingers. Which is completely unnecessary for what she's about to do, but staging is everything.
Gods, you see, can teleport. And no sooner has Hibiki's finger snap begun to echo than she transports the both of them right to the base of the Eippel Tower in Prance.
....Or the Eiffel Tower in France, if one were to attempt to abide by the ridiculous spelling rules in this puniverse. Hibiki prefers not to think about this when at all possible. It depresses her.
And she wants this to be fun. ]

For a long moment, Lilie gazed over the landscape, before breathing,] Kalos?
no subject
[ Hibiki will steady Lilie if necessary. ] The finest city in the world.
You're familiar with it?
[ She's pleased, and yet - in hindsight, of course its reputation would precede it. It's PriParis!
no actually it's not]no subject
All I remember is the name, Kalos. I remember seeing it in a travel guide once. When I was small.
no subject
[ Well, no matter. Memories can be fickle things, here. ] Then let's spark that glimmer into a beautiful shining light.
[ She offers Lilie her arm. ] I'm at your disposal, mademoiselle Lilie.
no subject
[Dancing? Dinner?]
no subject
[ HIBIKI ENJOYS PLAYS ]
no subject
[Which again, swiss cheese.]
no subject
[ Hibiki raises an arm, the very picture of ease and grace, to hail a cab
which keeps driving right past them.
Hibiki sets her jaw, arm frozen in midair. ]

no subject
[ Let's see....Prench....chauffeur service...there it is...
She lifts her chin as she puts the phone to her ear. It rings.
And rings.
And rings.
And rings.
Her eyebrow twitches. ]
no subject
[Completely worried too, but she was tapping her chin thoughtfully.]
no subject
[ Read: she can't get a car.
Hibiki has been a god for months. She has defied the odds in many ways. She has successfully gotten herself cast in a Near Shore movie, even.
But she never recalls that people don't notice her 99% of the time. ]
no subject
In that case, a walking tour might be a good idea.
no subject
[ Pronounced the Prench way.
May she link their arms together? ]
no subject
[Yeah she'll link arms with Hibiki, smiling all the way, oblivious to her frustration.]
no subject
Hibiki sets off down the boulevard, strolling more than walking. ] Are you a shinki?
[ You have that feel to you. And the amnesia. That is usually a tip-off.
Let's talk about anything except what just happened. ]
no subject
[Because who knows what the assignments would be from day to day.]
no subject
[ She just. She just says this stuff. Without shame. ]
no subject
[Lack of memories, little sleep at night without her Cleffa doll...]
no subject
[ But now look where you are! This architecture! This ambiance! ]
Well, I'll treat you to a truly high-quality life.
no subject
[Because Lilie is used to a high quality life, but she wants to experience this city as well.]
no subject
[ They're passing boutiques, cafes, etc. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Over they go. ] Your taste in confections is as sweet as you are...
