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!
CHIAKI-!!!!!!! getting to play with him has totally made my day :D
Yes, Chiaki. As 'true teammates' should do~
[Weather or not Ryusei Red's obliviousness to their current situation is genuine, Kanata finds it charming either way. He's not about to ruin the comfortable atmosphere that they have going right now by outright telling Chiaki that they're technically on a date. Not yet, at least. For the moment, it will be his little secret~.]
Why don't we go somewhere that Chiaki 'loves'? If you shared that with me, I would be happy.
★🔥❤ i certainly cannot resist a kanata in need!!
Wel~l! Anywhere we go together would be one of my very favorites. There's a cafe near school I've been meaning to go to, but the last time I was there, a number of girls stared at me and I left.
[ chiaki why are you like this. why is running from cute girls a thing you do.
he snaps his fingers, though, as if thoughtful. ] Then again, if it was somewhere I "loved", then maybe the park? Where the kids gather! I practice my stunts there often, fuahaha. ★ Yes! That's it! Would you be willing to accompany me, Blue? To the sun and the stars or to the park, together...!!
[ the worst thing about him is that he's a hundred percent genuine in his cheesiness, and he squeezes their joined hands, pointing off in that direction. ] Shall we?
spoken like a true hero❤🐠💥🤖
Oh, but the journey to the park is a 'perilous' one. [He teases lightly, humming a few bars of one of his favorite Ryuseitai songs under his breath.] Please continue to hold my hand, so you don't end up getting lost...♪
[Luckily, the park is not too far of a walk from their current position. Normally, Kanata wouldn't mind having to take a bus, but... if they go by foot, that means their not-so-secret spectator can fallow along after them. While she keeps her eyes on them, they can continue to keep an eye on her.]
<33
it is a little bit of a walk, but chiaki doesn't mind either. with great company comes an easy walk, after all, and he's always happy to spend time with his precious ryusei blue. this was a fortuitous meeting, to be sure! but, even chiaki isn't as much of a doofus as he seems, and he ducks in a little closer than he normally would to murmur in kanata's ear, eyes flicking back for a second to locate their little matchmaker.
in a much lower voice, gentle: ] Is she still there, Kanata?
no subject
This whole situation is very amusing, but all the same, something about it still rubs Kanata's gills the wrong way.]
It is strange though. She must have good eyes in order to 'see' the both of us so 'easily'. They say that children can notice gods easier than adults, but to be able to pick 'the both of us' out from the crowd when there were so many other people around to blend in with... How mysterious~
[Well. Whatever is going on with this child, it's nothing that the seniors of Ryuseitai can't handle together, right? If they can raise three inexperienced first-years into bright and splendid Meteor★Rangers, then helping out one trouble little matchmaker shouldn't be hard.]
no subject
(or maybe that's just how he and kanata look literally all the time.) ] Mm. I don't really understand everything that goes with being a god of some kind, but... children are certainly magical, no? It's their belief that makes me feel the most like a hero, so I can't say I mind.
[ his grin widens, a little, and chiaki swings their connected hands, now moving to look around them. his free hand comes up to his forehead, as if he's searching really hard for something. ] We should keep our eyes peeled for those monsters, for certain. As Kamen Rider Blade once said, we must fight for those who can't fight for themselves!
no subject
Once we're 'inside' the park, we'll have more space. It will be easier to fight, if it really comes to that.
[As they make their way into the park, he'll continue to go with the flow that Chiaki has already started, swinging their linked hands back and forth like the tide. Though he's yet to see any monsters, he does notice something else.]
Still, if it's possible, I would like to have some fun too. Do you like ice cream, Chiaki? It looks like someone has set up an ice cream cart over there. As a treat, I will buy you a red ranger popsicle, okay?
