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?

[Yumoto is here to replace Cupid, so something like this definitely falls under his responsibilities. And he's trying. Really.
But can he really be blamed for being distracted by Kaden's long, silky tail and adorably soft fluffy ears?
He just. Wants to cuddle him. So much.
The amount of willpower he's exerting right now is far more than anyone ever even thought he had.]
no subject
[Not that Kaden would be offended if he knew Yumoto was distracted by his beautiful fur! Noooot at all. That long, silky tail is now wagging, in fact.]
Do ayakashi like fish? I wonder if ayakashi even eat actual food...
no subject
He manages to answer the question, but his eyes just keep wandering to that lovely, silky tail. He really can't last much longer.]
I, uh- I think they eat gods, actually. When they get close enough they always say stuff like..
[He does his best spoooky ayakashi voice.]
Smells niiiice.
no subject
[The last thing Kaden needs is for his god to get eaten. That wouldn't work at all! Then where would he be?
He's noticing now, though, that Yumoto seems really distracted by something behind him... And with a quick glance, he knows exactly what it is. His disdain for the previous conversation drains away, leaving him with a bright grin.]
Oh, you like my tail? I take really good care of my fur! It's the softest and glossiest fur around, I can guarantee it! Do you want to touch it?
no subject
Yes!
[ALL HIS DREEEAAAMS]
It's sooo pretty and shiny and...
[And he's already petting it.]
so sooooft....
[This girl maaay not be receiving divine help today. Ooops.]
