Test Drive #22
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!
Buttered Buns
Things are tough for small bakeries in huge cities. It seems like there’s always a bigger chain offering less expensive breads around the corner. To compete, “Four Clover” bakery has gone all-in with a campaign to attract customers, and you’re here to help. They’ve put together a mascot costume for you (degree of cuteness up to player’s imagination), printed a zillion flyers, blown up bunches of balloons… and in praying for the success and prosperity of their store, they’ll certainly go along with whatever heaven-sent ideas come along.
Outdoor art exhibitions take advantage of the best days of the start of fall. In one large park, a multitude of unique bronze and ceramic statues are on display. However, there’s way more of them than there actually should be. The artist and organizers are stumped by a plethora of near-perfect copies standing alongside the originals. Should a god or shinki get close enough they’ll be able to tell which are ayakashi pretending to be statues, but don’t get your nose bitten off. And don’t break an actual statue while hunting the ayakashi. Please.
Formula car races are huge draws for those who love speed, and those who love betting. Snake skeleton ayakashi are twining themselves around the necks of betters, whispering in their ears to seduce the humans into crippling debt.
While gods and shinki are in a human’s blind spot and generally go unnoticed, trying to remove an ayakashi from someone might draw attention, depending on how you go about it. And in a crowd this large, there just might be a human who will notice a strange pair trying to do something to someone else’s neck...
A group approaches you. Some of them look relatively normal, if a bit on edge. Some of them look the very image of a nerd. And all of them are looking at you intently. This group of searchers of the paranormal have somehow (accurately) honed in on you, and are intent to find out everything about you. What planet are you from? What’s up with those clothes? That hair? Do you have any special powers?!
While they welcome you in peace, they are also very unwilling to let this interview end with your escape… Might need a friend to help you out (or throw you to the wolves).
Fashion runway. Frills. Shirts, pants, dresses, underwear; the changing room is full of variety.
Go strut your stuff.
It’s for a good cause, honest.

goro akechi | persona 5 | possible december spoils ahoy | god
[ It's very obvious that Goro Akechi is not happy with this. He's currently taking a break, and he's dressed in a cat mascot outfit. It figures that he'd get shoved into a costume like this, because even when he's a god, apparently the higher powers like screwing with him. Whatever. Ugh.
He's playing on his phone, trying to ignore the fact that this is utterly humiliating. Approach him here... Or, if you dare, while he's trying to hock the bakery's wares. He very clearly avoids promoting any pancakes, though. ]
esp and extraterrestrials
Isn't it a bit rude to interrogate a complete stranger?
[ ... says the former detective. But he's smiling so pleasantly! And he seems so polite. Akechi is actually pretty annoyed by this whole deal--but wouldn't anyone be? And every time he thinks he's able to get away, the group just hounds him, even more determined.
If someone happens to pass by, Akechi will sigh and gesture to the group. ]
They're terribly persistent, so you might want to find a different route.
[ Sure enough, they're surrounding him, asking some awfully pertinent questions. ]
wildcard!
[ Feel free to make your own prompt or PM me for one. ]
buttered buns!
There were not near enough sparkles, for one thing.Besides, she'd been drawn here by the bakery itself, before she'd paused a little distance away to watch curiously for a while instead. ]
nanako is too good for this
There's a lull in business when he goes over, a sweetroll in hand. Akechi holds it out for her with a smile. ]
Here.
which is exactly why I tossed her here lmao
But he's holding out one of the sweetrolls and his smile seems nice so after a moment she peeks out again, offering a shy smile as she takes a step out and reaches for the treat. ]
Can I? Are you sure?
i hate you for forcing me into this..... so i will make akechi suffer as payback
Hmmm... [ He's not putting every ounce of effort into playing the role of Interested Customer, and not guy-who-knows-Everything-You've-Done. He glances at the bakery as though he's! never seen this place before! Wow! ] ... I've been looking for a new place to eat. What do you recommend?
[ One hand is resting in his pocket, but the other lifts, hand adjusting his glasses. There's a very obvious smirk of amusement just barely being concealed. ]
WOW okay i deserve that also you agreed to this, scrub
...
[ Wow, that smile is totally plastered on and it's painfully fake. At least, that much is obvious to Akira, or it should be. He has to play nice, though, otherwise he'll be in trouble. ]
Why don't you try IHOP?
no subject
Is this where it's going? Okay.
He's lowering that hand, gesturing to the side in a vague, nonchalant, manner. ] Is that a recommendation based on personal experience, detective? I suppose I should take it seriously from such an expert.
