TEST DRIVE # 21

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!

To get you started, here are some ideas for thread-starters! Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.

Weird Wands

Kids love the new "magic wand" souvenirs from the Wizard's Wonderland cinema & party venue! They sparkle, they swish, they look just like real magic wizard's wands... actually, are these just souvenirs? They seem to be doing real magic! Unappetizing school lunches are turning into delicious cakes, a pack of stray dogs ate everybody's homework, and other elementary-school wishes are coming true all over the place. Be the mean grown-up and confiscate some wands, or just join in the fun.

Xistential cris-X

What is the meaning of life, anyway? That's what this year's crop of incoming freshmen at Tokyo University really want to know. Careful crossing the campus: tormented sighs, heavy philosophy tomes, theological questions and earnest discussions abound. Help these kids lighten up and enjoy their college experience! Or take advantage and start preaching. With all this existential angst around, you could definitely score some new followers.

Yip Yap

The dogs in a certain neighborhood go crazy every time the clock strikes one A.M. and the poor residents haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. What's got those pooches so peeved? Hunt down the ayakashi prowling their streets, and let those hard-working guard dogs and their sleepy owners go back to getting some Z's.

Zippy Zinc Oxide

There is a rash of incidents going around, literally. A large number of babies are suffering from yeast infection diaper rash, and the distress level of the parents is hitting the roof. All that distress might be attractive to ayakashi too, so stock up on zinc oxide, change lots of diapers, soothe the babies, and restore peace to the land.

Apartment Apples

A follower has entered an interior decoration contest to deck out an apartment in a complete and total apple theme. And they are dead set determined to win this thing. Everything from an apple teapot to apple socks to act as props in the dresser, your follower needs to completely furnish this place. Even though it's just a 1DK, it's sure starting to feel like a huge task to buy enough to decorate it. Lend a hand with the shopping and decorating, and try to hold back on shooting down your follower's design dreams?

Weird Wands

[There's a good thing about being a teenager herself and that's being able to interact with elementary schoolers better. For a measure of 'better'. She's no Kaori and the kids ignore her in favor of conjuring more sweets.

That gets Sasara going as she grabs one of the wands.]

If you're going to use these things don't just do useless things like that--hey, what are you crying--

[Aw crap.]

[Now, this? This was something that she was more used to. Sort of. At least these ayakashi weren't giant angel wannabes. Problem is Sarasa really wasn't made for combat. She, however, has one useful thing she can provide.]

I'll keep their attention if you can finish them off.

[Slowly, to the beat in her own head she begins to dance.]

Within this current system of oppression, I'm useless without divine aid!

[ This isn't stopping Saint-Germain from fighting, though. She's only regained scattered memories of what she can do, but it's been enough to get her transformed into battle armor and firing at the ayakashi.

Said ayakashi laugh as the bullets whiz past them. Then they screech as the bullets explode into water, and then ice, trying to freeze them in place. ]

[Considering dancing was all she had before she even became a god, Sasara is.. impressed. The ayakashi had been distracted long enough for Saint-Germain to shoot at least.]

They're getting stuck--good job!

[Go, go!]

But they won't be defeated unless you call my name!!

[ More bullets. These don't hit the ayakashi, but do form a circle around them that explodes into a prison of gold crystals, penning them all in the same place. ]

What manner of god are you, Morikawa Sarasa?!
