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!
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!
Case
People can argue about whether or not Bakugou is hero material all they want, about his personality or whatever, and sure, he threatens to kill people all the time. But he's never actually killed anyone, and he knows that heroes sure as hell aren't supposed to. And, despite the fact that all he has in his toolkit are explosions, he's pretty sure he can handle these chumps without killing them. Which is more than he can say Mr. Smoking Gun here.
He blasts himself forward, putting himself right between the thugs and Sanzo to (he sure fucking hopes) discourage him from opening fire, and aims a wide explosion at the crowd in front of himself to both halt his forward momentum and keep them back at the same time. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he's snarling over his shoulder.] Who the hell brings a gun to a knife fight?! You hold the fucking case and I'll handle the mob!
no subject
The type who wants to avoid getting killed, that's who, you brainless idiot!!
[ The point of a gun is to gently discourage people from doing shit you'd rather they didn't do, like knife you in the chest and steal your stuff. Sanzo also figures he could use it to discourage other behavior too, and he has a feeling he's done this before. ]
Get the hell out of my way.
Bang, bang!
[ Yup, that sure is bullets whizzing by the kid's head, narrowly missing. That's the warning shot. ]
no subject
[For the moment, the mob seems to be holding their ground; after the first two efforts were met by an explosion right in front of their faces and then getting pelted with bits of pavement, they're clearly considering how to approach Bakugou. Bakugou, for his part, watches them, his cupped palms crackling like fireworks with unspoken threat.]
