Test Drive #26
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.
Ayakashi generally have a particular method by which to hurt humans. But an ayakashi has appeared that seems to be completely random in its methods, and anyone merely being near it becomes a target of its malevolence in a variety of ways. Dispatch this vagrant ayakashi before it harms far too many people.
Hitchhiking in Japan is rare. A friendly but lost-looking foreigner on the side of the road will attract fascination, concern and compassion. But a Japanese person doing the same likely won’t attract the same positive attention. Yet here is one Japanese person praying for a way to experience the adventure of the hitchhike. What to do for your follower? Well, going as a group of three sounds good, doesn’t it? Just be sure to attract sufficient attention to yourselves so that the drivers will properly notice you!
The X-Games, popular overseas, has suddenly become a hot topic with Japanese competitors taking top spots in skateboarding events. Burning to follow in their wake, young teens have taken to the streets, parks and basically anywhere with a strip of pavement to hone their skateboarding skills (which may or may not exist in the first place). While it’s good to see kids getting away from the computer screen, they’re also becoming a public nuisance: damaging handrails, narrowly missing pedestrians, and making noise right up to sunset. Answer the prayers of the kids yearning for glory? Answer the prayers of those wishing for peace in their neighbourhoods again? (...What’s a ‘skateboard’ anyway?)
An enthusiastic grade-schooler has started a new career helping people find love! She's hooked up teachers, classmates' parents, even random strangers… but it seems like all the matches she's trying to make this month have gone horribly wrong! Is she being stalked by an ayakashi or is this just bad luck? Either way, she needs help getting her mojo back.
In the trendy Ginza area, a mall has set up an elaborate indoor display of lights set to represent the real night sky. The key feature is the evening illumination show, where the various zodiac constellations are lit up to music. Strangely, there are growing rumours that those who view the show become even more focused on their horoscopes (much to the benefit of local fortune tellers). It’s even said that people’s personalities shift to become more stereotypical to their respective signs. Take in the show for yourself and see what happens?

Have fun!

[What, the guy looked like one? It seemed like an appropriate title. Kamui looked around, trying to find a good way to assert themselves--]
Ah! There we go.
[He walks away from the two he was with, who may start to hear what sounds like metal tearing and concrete crumbling. Next, a postbox will whiz right past them and roll onto the middle of the street, effectively making quite a few of the cars break into a screeching halt.]
no subject
bossyauthoritative side--And then he's dodging with a hand out to nudge the person they're supposed to be helping out of harm's way as some sort of contraption goes winging overhead and bouncing into traffic. There was a fine line between 'assertive' and 'dangerous' and they'd just sent something crashing right on through that.]
What are you doing?! You're going to hurt someone that way!
no subject
[Assertive, dangerous, tomato, tomahto.
Kamui walks to the car that stopped, opening the back seat door for them.]
Got us a ride, didn't it?
[The driver was clearly perplexed, wondering where the hell the postbox and this guy came from. And why was he opening his door?!]
no subject
Ryoma looks exasperated, and potentially fluffier than usual.]
It--it doesn't matter that you weren't aiming for anyone, you still could have caused an accident or hit someone! You have to be more considerate of the consequences that your actions might have before you take them!
[Despite the whole memoryloss thing, Ryoma's dad instincts will always find a way to the surface, as will his expression of emotions in the key of shouting a bit.]
It's--be more careful next time! It worked out this time, but...
[Urgh. He shakes his head, gently leading their poor follower over to the car as he leans in with a small, awkward wave.]
We. Would like a ride, please?
no subject
P-please! I don't have any money! Y-you can take the car!
[The poor driver scrambles out of the car, running for the sidewalk in fear.]
Ah...you scared him off, General.
[People began to chatter on the sides, wondering if this was a possible kidnapping. Should they call the police? Ah, take note of the license plate maybe..]
