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!

Yeah. I think that'll just have to happen. You can make one, right? Yours, obviously. I'll get one that's probably made well.
[He offered a grin and stuffed his hands into his pockets.]
Red. Yours has to be red. With flames. Maybe a skull, because. Um. Well, why not?
Mine should have a dragon! No, a sword. Both? No knights, they're stupid. Who wants to walk around in a can all day?
no subject
A dragon holding a sword in its tail. In each paw it has a knight and one more in its mouth. It is powerful, all mighty, and ready to crack open those cans for the juicy bits inside. Something like that?
no subject
That's a little dark. I don't think I'm supposed to be dark. Can't it just have a sword?
[He leaned on the wall again, watching the few remaining teens practice kicks.]
Think if we got good they'd all notice?
no subject
Fine, just a sword.
[She rolls her head, also watching the teens. It's hard not to dwell, but could that have ever been her? Going to school, hanging out after, getting yelled at for missing curfew, was that ever in the cards for her? Or was she always meant to be an operative?
...Huh.]
I mean, if you want to get noticed, you could run over there and jump up and down in front of them. Hell, you're small and cute. Bet if you asked, they'd probably let you skate. Or push you down. Not sure.
no subject
Well, maybe a couple a swords. If they look cool enough, you could make me a real one, right? There's lotsa people here to show me how to use it.
[He glanced at her, then back at them.]
I know, I know. I just meant...like. Notice us. Like we're real people again.
no subject
Yeah, I can't help on that. It was cool at first, but now... kinda blows, doesn't it. It was fun at first, going around wherever you wanted, but now...
Yeah. Sucks.
1/2
IpromiseIwon'tcutanythingoffyou'rethebest.
2/2
Um.
Well, we just have to try harder when we want to be noticed. At least when we do that here, no one gets mad, right?
