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?

Saori Nakagawa - OC - Shinki

Yip Yap
There, there. It's okay, boy.

[ Saori softly assured the Shiba sitting in front of her, crouching to scratch behind its ears. It was a shame she couldn't talk to dogs or else the investigation would've gone by much faster as 1 AM was getting closer. She had come across the dog when she climbed over into that backyard.]

Whatever's been coming here, you're doing a good job protecting your family. We're going to find out what's been bugging you and the other dogs here. Sorry it took this long to do this.

[]She stood up and jumped over the fence and into the narrow residential street.

Her fingers flex as she stares down the road, listening for anything approaching whether it could be a wandering drunk or the growing sound of dogs barking from several blocks ahead. Saori didn't hesitate as she got into her fighting stance. She maybe small in stature and have a pair of regular looking hand wraps on, but she wasn't going to back down yet.]

Here it comes. Now what sort of Ayakashi are you?

Zippy Zinc Oxide
[With Saori's quick thinking, she managed to convince one apartment's landlady that they were here to help any of the mothers with babies and they started to go down the units. They were already on baby number 5 out 10. The redhead seemed rather adept at the whole dealing with newborns.]

Leave the baby to me. Maybe you can help the mom with chores or something. I'm sure she'll appreciate it.

[ She only slightly flinched when it came to the gross parts of diaper changing and burping. After carefully wrapping the baby in a mint green swaddle cloth, she sits down on the couch so she could slowly rock the baby to sleep. If anyone stole a glance at the shinki, they would've noticed the gentle smile Saori had as she watch the baby fall asleep before placing her in the living room crib. Only then did she return back to the couch and looked up at her partner.]

So, did you find out anything?

Wild Card
[Anything goes!]
