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?
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!

What's this about ice cream? You know, I happen to know the best place to get ice cream in the whole city. Want to come with me? I'll buy us all a cone.
[It was a solid plan, actually. If it was an ayakashi pestering this poor little girl well it would follow, luring it into exposing itself and Adrien could take it out. If it was just a rough run of luck the ice cream would cheer her up and bolster her confidence so she wouldn't be disappointed in her efforts.]
no subject
[Oh, hey! Mirei beams at the boy before her and then back down at the little girl, who at least seems to have forgotten to be quite so upset in the presence of so much ridiculous blondeness. And ice-cream, too.]
I was just going to leave it to luck, pri! But you know a good place to go, so that's even better!
[And up~! Mirei springs back to her feet, holding her hand out to the little girl. Nobody's getting lost, pri! Not on her watch.]
Oh - I'm Mirei, pri. Nice to meet you both~!
no subject
[He's a bit confused by this, Pri thing. But then again Hibiki put that in the front of a lot of words. Straightening up, he's offering a warm smile and his other hand to the little girl. It's a habit after dealing with all those babies and the ayakashi.]
I'm Adrien.
[It's more for Mirei's benefit than the little girl's because well... the child won't remember them at all once they leave. Once there's a small hand in his Adrien is watching as the little girl takes Mirei's hand then he's nodding.]
Right and away we go. Hold on tight to our hands, okay? We don't want you to trip, fall or get lost.
no subject
Adrien, pri? [Huh, a Prench name. Naturally she pronounces it prifectly.] Have you been here long? I'm pretty new here, pri!
[The little girl, for her part, gazes between them, and she isn't really thinking about ice-cream any more. There is an awful lot of blonde here. It is enough to make her wonder...]
no subject
[A smile tugged at his lips.] How are you settling in? Good I hope.
[And after a bit of walking Adrien is stopping in front of a building, drawing the door open to let the girls go in first. That and he wants to see if there had been an ayakashi lurking.]
