Test Drive #24
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.
"O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!"
The “lyricist” Sato Sano didn’t get the memo about this famous saying, and now is thoroughly ensnared in his own lies. His shadow writer under duress is leaving him, threatening to expose him for the fraud he is! Which would basically be the linchpin to make his whole (rich and comfortable) life come crashing down. But the shadow writer conceded that if Sano can write one decent song on his own, she wouldn’t completely ruin his life. He desperately needs some divine inspiration to save his hide…
Or perhaps he should get what he deserves?
A hobby that has been exploding recently has been extreme makeup. The makeup artists create incredibly real illusions using just a palette of colours.
Recently, a rumour has been circulating about people taking on the traits of the character they paint on their face to an unusual level- dolls become completely carefree, vampires have a sudden and serious aversion to sunlight, and most concerning of all, skeletons have reportedly been getting into accidents. Nothing life-threatening… yet.
Is it coincidence, internet fiction, or is something more going on?
There are many difficult and dirty jobs that go uncelebrated in our modern cities filled with convenience. Recently the folks who skillfully gut fish day after day, up to their elbows in blood and foul entrails, have been feeling dissatisfaction over their job. Those feelings have been attracting ayakashi, which in turn have amplified the ire of the workers to intense levels.
Needless to say, anything affecting production will soon affect fish-loving Japan, so the call has gone out to banish the ayakashi. (And mediating the worker’s issues would certainly be a bonus.)
Although the Christmas season is far more low-key in Japan than other countries, many families have founded their own traditions. And the whole country has bought into a tradition based on one simple message: “Chicken for Christmas.”
It’s no wonder that every KFC employee across the country will start praying to any god who will listen, “Please help me get through December 25th in one piece.”
Come lend these people a hand! (How hard could it be to work a fryer?) Come be awed by the sheer volume of Christmas set buckets being sold. Come be staggered by the lines snaking around the block of people who didn’t pre-order. (Come try to lure some of them away with off-brand fried chicken? Or stand in line yourself?)
Do try to keep up a cheerful spirit! It’s the holidays, after all!
People could use a little more happiness in their lives, right? A chocolate company trying to boost their appeal is wanting to spread smiles by printing a variety of happy puns on their chocolate and nut bar wrappers.
Help them come up with a variety of good ones, or give a hand test-marketing some that have been already printed. (Let’s hope there’s more smiles than groans…)

Have fun!
Kou Seiya | Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon (StarS arc) | Shinki
Sato, Sato, Sato~
[At present, the raven-haired woman is lounging on the sofa of one Sato Sano. The dilemma is an entertaining one. On the one hand, she's tempted to do nothing and allow this fraudulent fiend to get what he deserves. But on the other, she's also marginally curious to see whether or not he can manage to do one simple thing for himself. What's a shinki to do?]
Surely there has to be something you feel strongly enough about to inspire you!
[Yes, that's suitably motivational.]
Pleasurable Puns
[To be honest, the only reason she'd taken an interest in this at all was the chocolate. Her sweet tooth wasn't exactly a secret, but she did enjoy the occasional pun, even if she rarely bothered coming up with them herself.
At present, she's happily munching on a chocolatey, nutty bar and chuckling at the one-liner on the wrapper.]
Choose Your Own Adventure
[Surprise me~]
'Pleasurable' Puns
[Not that Piccolo actually had any suggestions. He was glaring at the crunchy chocolate bar in his hand with no small amount of disgust painted all over his sharp angled face. He didn't seem interested in the candy like the girl Shinki he'd wandered up behind, instead tossing the bar back onto the pile and grabbing another at random. He did this several times, each eliciting a small 'tch' of dissatisfaction before he rid himself of the new piece.]
Why is it that humans like things that are so bad for them?
Re: 'Pleasurable' Puns
Oh, c'mon. You know it's great.
[Alright, so maybe great was pushing it a little. But she appreciated the effort.]
If you figure out the answer to that, let me know.
no subject
I feel as though that's one thing I probably never did figure out in life either. Humans just don't always make much sense to me.
puns
[ An arm reaches over Seiya's shoulder to try and divest her of that wrapper.
Share the pun, buddy. ]
Re: puns
[The arm is surprising, and she's dancing away in an attempt to dodge the attempt to snatch her candy wrapper.]
When it's CRUNCH-time, I want you on my side.
[And then she's turning around to try and get a look at the would-be sneak thief.]
no subject
Awwww, ya shouldn't have!
[ Is there room at this table? Now there is not. ]
People really do get paid to come up with this stuff, huh?
