Test Drive #28
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.
An ayakashi has taken to attaching itself to people’s faces. Other than just making the person gloomy, it has another, more odd, side-effect. Humans who can perceive things of the Far Shore take one look at someone affected by the ayakashi and can’t stop laughing uproariously. Even gods and shinki will get at least a case of the giggles. Sure, the ayakashi makes the person look like they have a fish face, puckered lips and all, but it’s not that funny, is it? Save people from the ayakashi, in more ways than one.
The travelling gnome is a cute trend that many people follow, watching where their little porcelain garden friend will end up next in the world as volunteers take him along on their travels. However the gnome has stalled somewhere, and the outcry on the internet is quickly reaching a fever pitch. Is it foul play? Or did the gnome simply get lost?
Hopefully you can help him resume his journey.
Mr. Motoi's landlady has asked him to sell the chicken he was keeping on the building roof. He sent the hen to his daughter in the suburbs… but two days later, she was back on the roof trying to get back into her coop. He's tried three times now to find her a new home, but she keeps coming back! Something needs to be done. Will you help the hen accept her new owner, or try to convince the landlady to have pity?
In an effort to promote the beauty and simplicity of the idyll, a poetry society is hitting the streets of Tokyo, offering free ice cream to whomever can compose a (half-decent) idyll on the spot.
What is an idyll, you ask? Simply “a short description in verse or prose of a picturesque scene or incident, especially in rustic life”.
What do you say? Want to give it a go? No one will judge you too harshly. (Except maybe that person beside you.)
A new jujube specialty shop has opened, with their key item being “emotion infused” jujubes. With a “secret blend of extracts and essences from exotic, organic herbs and plants”, the company claims that anyone eating their candy will have their mood shifted and uplifted!
Red for bravery. Yellow for happiness. Blue for calmness and relaxation. Green for refreshing energy!
Try a sample (strictly one per person, do not eat two at once) and see for yourself!
The only problem is that that secret blend of herbs and plants seems to be more potent on the physiology of someone from the Far Shore. (If the company knew, they would certainly apologize for the oversight.)
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!
When and if you're ready to join the game, check out the Taken Characters before throwing in a Reserve and starting on your Application
Have fun!

[So much for delicacy. Snatching the gnome with one hand, she allows herself to fall backwards with the motion, only to turn in midair so that she lands on her feet, one hand dipped down to keep her from tumbling.]
[Truth be told, it hurts a little. Moves like this aren't as easy without a Blade's energy supporting her. But she ignores that at she rises.]
Are you prepared to take it down?
no subject
Yes miss!

[Shifting the gnome to her left hand, Mòrag turns to glare up at the creature -- then with purpose, pronounces Romeo's vessel name to invoke his transformation. They will meet this foe as god and shinki!]
no subject
Romeo can see everything like this and so he keeps an eye on the ayakashi]
It's climbing to the roof!
