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!

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.

[They're giving her a cautious berth now, slowly backing away, and so Clair turns her imperious gaze to Mikan. After a second, she softens it to smile gently at her.]
Please, miss, take my hand. I think it is time we departed.
[And then she offers Mikan her hand. Clair may not remember being a knight anymore, but apparently her role there is still in her bones. Watch and learn some real chivalry, nerds.]
no subject
[Mikan squeaks and jumps, standing up straight when clair turns her attention to her. There’s something about her gaze that makes Mikan feel like her very soul is being accessed and judged or something.
The offered hand gets a baffled look— Clair wanted... her hand? She wanted to willingly touch Mikan?? She looks between the hand and the girl a couple times before realizing with a panic she’s been making her wait] I’m s-so sorry! [She grabs Clair’s hand and looks extremely flustered]
Wh-Where are we going..? Ah, um, not that I’ll argue! We can go anywhere you want, I won’t complain, I’m sorry!
no subject
[Well, frowning at her isn't going to help, Clair. She pulls Mikan a little closer as she leads the way down the street.]
Don't fret, miss, you're perfectly safe now. I give you my word!
no subject
[Oh god did she fuck up? She fucked up. She always fucks up. They're still holding hands and Mikan isn't sure if she's supposed to let go first or if she should leave that up to Clair. Was she standing too close? Clair had pulled her a little closer, right, so it was fine, right?
She feels dizzy with indecision and takes a breath.] I'm sorry... Thank you so much for helping me, I'll be sure to repay you, somehow! I don't have a lot of money, but, um... I can steal something? Or take on a debt, or you can throw darts at me, or...? [This is perfectly reasonable.]
no subject
[She tried to be a chivalrous knight saving a damsel in distress, okay, she tried. Clair huffs and lets go of Mikan's hand, now they've made some progress away from the paranormal researchers.]
As if I would ever encourage theft! When did I ever ask for payment anyway?
no subject
But... But I don't know what else to do? Wh-what do you mean you won't take payment?
no subject
[Girls gotta stick together Mikan! Even tomboy-for-her-time Clair knows that.]
no subject
She wrings her hands together anxiously and shifts her weight from side to side.] I don't know what to do now... N-no one's ever done anything like that before, or said anything like that to me! [Well okay Hajime was perfectly nice to her, more or less, and Mahiru and Sonia were pretty nice, but nothing to this extent.]
Wh-what do I do, what do I do...
