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.

[ The crowd is forced to part by the advent of a new participant to the scene. No, really, forced - a regal young person atop a large purple horse has just pulled up and is looking down at Clair with polite, solicitous interest. ]
Such a pity. A lady should never be forced to risk straining her voice.
[ The air around the person on horseback is literally sparkling. ]
no subject
For a moment, Clair is as stunned as her fans as they all turn to gaze upon the regal young person (and his purple horse). Clair is the first to recover.]
A lady is never strained and always enacts her wrath within her means. [One of the smarter searchers takes a step back from Clair.] Now, a young [...] person shall escort a lady from the scene.

How does sidesaddle in Hibiki's lap sound? Because that's what Hibiki's thinking. It's dashing, and appropriately elegant.
Attempting this maneuver now! ]
no subject
Clair takes Hibiki's hand elegantly, nodding her head gracefully in thanks... And then her grip becomes much more firm, she raises one foot to the nearest stirrup and grabs a hold of the saddle to briskly hoist herself up to sit behind Hibiki, like a normal person who knows how to sit in a saddle. Nudge up, Hibiki, make room for the lady.]
My most sincere gratitude! [...] Would you like me to take the reigns?
no subject
Hibiki recovers quickly from this (charming, in its own way!) discovery, laughing to herself. The crowd of occult enthusiasts is hurriedly looking up any planets that are said to possess lost royalty. The escapees have a small window of opportunity, here.
She gives Clair a slightly reckless - but still, of course, completely charming and trustworthy - smile. All right. If this is what moves the audience's heart, she shall adjust her role. ] Just hold me tightly.
Haah!
[ Yes, that's not how you actually start a horse, but it is in the movies, and the aesthetic is everything.
One presumes you both enjoy, and desire, speed? ]
