Test Drive #32

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.

The popularity of a certain video game has led to a spike in clothing designs featuring a lot of zippers. A lot. Whether self-altered or bought, it seems like most every bit of casual clothing now has zippers from head to toe.
This has led to a viral competition among youth: unzip as many zippers on your unsuspecting target as possible. Bonus points if you get it on video for the world to see!
Become one of the trendy and show off your zippered up clothes, at the risk of being hit by a prankster. Defend innocent passers-by from said pranksters. Or you and your cameraperson can aim for internet glory by unzipping all the things. (Is going unnoticed by Near Shore people an unfair advantage? Careful about drawing too much attention to yourself!)
Amazing Apricot is the nickname of a dwarf bunny that has become an internet sensation. Apricot’s owner has trained her to do all sorts of tricks like a dog - beg, shake a paw, play fetch, roll over, jump through a hoop… all made delightfully more adorable when performed by this tiny rabbit.
But owner Nakazawa is in a pinch- he’s hit a mental block about what to try getting Apricot to do next, and the internet is going to move on without her if he doesn’t do something fast.
Can you help teach this bunny a new trick and save her internet popularity? Or should you convince Nakazawa that it’s curtains for this show?
In the night clubs of Shinjuku, blues music is the sweeping trend. Ever beings to make use of whatever humans are passionate about, ayakashi have been clustering around the clubs. The side-effect of this is that people have been becoming very depressed after listening to sad songs, and way too wound up after listening to the up-beat ones.
Help moderate the mood swings by getting rid of the loitering ayakashi.
You get a strange prayer over your phone: There is a briefcase at a specific, but remote, location. The request is simply for the case to be looked after for five hours.
Should you choose to accept the request, you’ll find everything as described.
The only trouble is that two hours in, you suddenly are assailed by a knife-wielding mob, intent on getting that case by any means! Since when did you become the unwitting star of an action movie?
(For the detail-oriented, the case can contain anything from gold bars to peanut butter, and the particulars behind the scenario anything you like. It’s not game canon, so go wild!)
The latest update to a popular fantasy MMO has players everywhere glued to their keyboards trying to defeat an epic dragon boss. The rewards are exclusive but the fight is almost unbeatable: some of the dedicated (and frustrated) players are praying for divine monster-killing assistance, some are praying for a good healer or tank, and some of their friends are praying that they remember to spend enough time off the computer to eat and sleep!

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!
Excuse u, this is rood
Oh, come on...
[The spell isn't going to last long, and it can only take so many hits. They need to get out and quick at this rate, hopefully without any loss of life. With his mind racing, probably as fast as the train that just pulled in, Hope saw the doors open and a plan formed. Hope races towards the woman and chucked an Aero at her mob and without missing a beat, went to take her wrist and yank her into the train.]
Re: Excuse u, this is rood
Focused as she was on them she's taken by surprise as Hope grabs her and drags her along. She flails but she's too off balance to do anything about it as she's pulled into the train car and the doors close behind her.
She takes a moment to look around before pulling out her phone to type something before shoving her phone in Hope's face.]
What are you doing? Where are you taking me?
no subject
I didn't look, so I honestly don't know where this train was going. I just wanted to get out of the mob and you looked like you needed some help as well.
[He holds up the briefcase he was supposed to be watching.]
They wanted this.
no subject
She shifts to tuck it securely under her arm as she types some more.]
I thought I was the only person doing this delivery. I didn't expect there to be decoys but I guess they were keeping some secrets when they said this would be a simple job.
no subject
no subject
I shouldn't disclose my client but this is a delivery to a financial office back at the station we just ran from.
[An office near that station, she means.]
no subject
[Well, and he just pulled her from that station too. Sorry, Celty. He sighed softly.]
I suppose it doesn't do much good now, which is my fault. Any way to contact your client to see if there could be a new drop off point?
[With less stabby people involved.]
no subject
[She's sure she could have handled them if she had to but she's much happier not needing to. Still she does need to get back on track.
She holds her phone up as she checks for how stable the signal is....but then shakes her head. No luck at least until the next stop.]
