TEST DRIVE # 23
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!
Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.
Waste removal has become an intense process in many cities in Japan. Because the sorting of different trash can be very complicated, some residents just end up saying to heck with it. However, the neighbours are vigilant, and heap curses upon those who break the rules. Putting out the wrong thing on the wrong day, mixing plastics with the burnables, putting out the biodegradables the night before, which attracts crows that scatter the rotting food all over the place… the infractions are many.
Will you join in cursing the ones who can’t follow the rules, or perhaps instead gracefully try to mend their ways?
For the last 20 years, Hanako has worked faithfully at her cleaning job, 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, without a single day off.
The momentous achievement was celebrated with her coworkers, but it was unanimous among them that Hanako really should take some time off! But the woman is stubborn, and is completely unwilling to take the time offered. (What would she do with herself, even?)
All her friends and coworkers can do is pray that someone can convince her to take a well-earned rest… It might take some heavenly intervention.
While crows are famous for being clever, there seems to be an insect following in their footsteps. Rhinoceros beetles have been getting in everywhere. It’s late in their lifespan and people are generally hoping the lot of them die off soon, but in the meantime people have been coming home to find the large beetles getting into every room, even when they’re carefully closed up. Probably the only ones thrilled with this are kids who like to collect the bugs for fighting matches.
Residents of the Far Shore will be able to see that there are beetle-like ayakashi running with the mundane ones, and they seem to be on the hunt for something.
Try to figure it out, protect the kids who might mistake an ayakashi for a real rhinoceros beetle, or kill every bug
John’s girlfriend Julie says she loves him, but she’s up and left for another guy named Gordon. Julie is cruel, heartless, a slut and a bitch! Gordon thinks he’s tough (so what if he’s bigger, better looking and more trendy than John) but he’s actually a moron, a cheap creep and a puff!
John is now desperately wanting someone to deck Gordon the moron good. Preferably smashing his face in. Help Jilted John out?
King Koopa, a stout, shorthaired two-year-old tabby, is headed straight for YouTube fame as a video-game-playing cat. Or he was, until, just last week, he completely lost interest in the keyboard. His desperate owner has been trying everything: bird screensavers, a catnip mouse, even treats hidden in the keys... but nothing brings back Koopa's love of the game. Is he just camera shy? Feeling blue? His owner needs divine intervention to help teach a young cat his old trick!
If you're uncertain about anything, feel free to check out the Premise, Rules, and FAQ posts. And don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have on the FAQ!

Have fun!

Then he's bad at choosing prayers, or didn't realize what a shitty one this turned out to be.
no subject
[ A pause, before Yata gives him a skeptical look. ]
You do know how to throw a punch, right?
no subject
[ Judar, you're way more of a nerd than you looked. That and a spoiled brat. Then again, with that hair and midriff, how much did Yata expect?
In fact... While he didn't wear shoes, even someone like him could kick at John's chest to knock him back and get his attention. It seems that he was taking care of the prayer in his own way. ]
Hey loser, your prayer's been rejected. Maybe try destroying your fate as something less than scum and you'll have a better chance in the future.
no subject
Because I know six years olds who could probably do this better than you. [ He's not kidding. The kids in this place are a little scary at how competent and powerful they are. Nanako and Goten, he's looking at you.
Although the mortals are looking more than a little weirded out now that Judar has drawn attention to them. Probably with good reason because Yata looks like a tiny thug and Judar looks like... well. Judar.
He steps up beside the other shinki and grabs his arm, lifting it up in the air in front of him. ] Curl your fingers for me. And try not to look so much like a floppy half-dead fish.
no subject
[ Judar looks amazing and befitting of a celestial being, you mean. That's obviously what you mean. What else would it be.
But between the grab and those words, Judar looks even less inclined to behave. It's not like he doesn't know how to make a fist. When he tries pulling and yanking his hand away, he's not the weakest, but he's on the lower end of average strength for a normal person. ]
I don't think you've realized this, so I'll spell it out. I don't feel like following the orders of someone like you.
no subject
[ Yata doesn't look inclined to care either way if Judar is inclined or not. If the other shinki isn't going to cooperate, he'll get it done for them.
Which is why he ends up using Judar's entire arm as a bludgeon, fish-floppy though it might still be when the guy can't even make a fist for him. Whatever. Yata can compensate, although Judar might come out of it a little worse for wear because he was stubborn over it. A bitch slap with the force of the Red Aura behind it - channeled through it, actually - is still enough to knock the peacock-guy out cold when Yata uses Judar to hit him with it.
The guy drops like a rock and Yata nudges him with a toe. ]
There. See? Easy. Let's go home.
no subject
It was probably the first time he'd seen Yata use the aura. From someone in the position of a god, Judar can accept him having access. ]
How the fuck can you use something like that?
no subject
no subject
[ Give him a bit, he needs to scrutinize and judge you more before roughly shoving that face away. ]
Which means you've probably got something else on you to do it. I don't accept it being just your own power.
[ ... What is that 'something' though? Man, there's too much damn information in his head, it's giving him a headache. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Yata, watch out. He's trying to figure this out and your decency doesn't matter to him. He'll pat down and lift up clothes if he's gotta.
Hey, he's not touching your face anymore.]
no subject
What the hell, dude!
no subject
How much can you use that, anyway?
[ There's no way you have endless amounts of energy, much less a great amount of it. ]
no subject
How much? I dunno? I haven't ever run out, if that's what you mean.
[ And he's going to go stand over here now. Significantly farther away than your reach. ]
no subject
Have you ever tried to? Y'know, the best way to find out is by actually doing it.
[ He wants to see how much you can burn down, Yata. ]
no subject
Yeah, mostly. I mean. I've used it for a while, and used it pretty heavily in some fights and sparring matches, too. So far it's just stayed right there the same. The only thing that seems to interrupt it is my own focus and concentration.
