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!

[Futaba gives an embarrassed laugh at Adrien's reaction, rubbing at the back of her neck as John stalks off in anger.]
But seriously, that was really cool. Not everybody would speak up to a creep like that.
[She smirks a little as he repeats her words.]
Yeah. Pretty cool, right?
no subject
[He's chuckling softly watching John leave. He's going to keep an eye on that guy.]
It's just the right thing to do. That guy.. Guys like that guy need someone to tell them off and for some reason they occasionally listen better when it comes from another guy.
[Offering a helpless shrug he lowers his hands to his side as he nods.]
Absolutely. I think I approve of your color commentary and play-by-play.
no subject
[Futaba smiles, pushing up her glasses and looking proud. She sighs a moment later, though.]
Yeah... that's why I didn't even try. Good thing you were here to come to the rescue! Maybe I should keep narrating for you.
no subject
[Reaching out he's touching her shoulder lightly, smiling.]
Don't beat yourself up over it. He wasn't in a good place and there's no telling if he'd have lashed out or anything. It was likely best you didn't.
[That smile became a grin.] All in a day's work and if that's something you want to do I won't say no.
no subject
[Her eyes go a little wide as he touches her shoulder, and she stammers a little as she takes a step back.]
O-oh... yeah, right! Gotta stay safe! Ahaha...
no subject
Ah? Oh! I'm sorry!
[He's drawing his hand away reaching to rub at the back of his neck with a sheepish smile.]
I shouldn't have done that. I should have asked. That was rude of me.
[Adrien nods in agreement with this.]
Yes, you do. So uh.. why do you do that? The narrating thing? I've never met anyone that does that so I'm curious.
