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?

[Dean has a subtle bounce to his movements, just ever so slight. Trying to remember the things that had worked on him when he was a kid is kind of hard it's been thirty years - not counted that compressed forty in Hell and all the other weird shit that makes it seem like a literal century- so it's a bit hard to remember.

But he what he does remember is tomato and rice soup, Mary singing Hey Jude to him at bedtime. He remembers being tucked into bed with a gentle smile and sly reminder that angels were watching over him. But those things are intimate and he can't share them not with someone that isn't family - even if it is just a baby.

But the Beatles makes for a better lullaby than Zepplin or AC/DC so he'd latched on to the first song that wasn't his he could think of which is what made him sing Blackbird.

Being so absorbed in his thoughts and the song he doesn't notice Castiel coming in until he hears his name. That makes green eyes snap open and he tilts his head in question. Thankfully the child in his arms has calmed somewhat for whatever reason. So he allows himself a soft inquiry.]

Cas? You doin' alright? I know it's kinda hectic and you're not good with babies.

[Which makes him smile because at least that's ONE thing that hasn't changed - best not to dwell on any of that though. There's a whimper from the child in his arms and he shushes her soothingly with a soft hum before speaking again.]

Try humming, maybe rocking. Once we get them settled down they should be alright.
