Test Drive #32

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!

To get you started, here are some ideas for thread-starters!
Feel free to come up with your own ideas if these don't strike your fancy, though.



Zip Zippers

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

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?


Blue Blues

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.


The Case Case

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!)


Digital Dragons

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!

Case Case (also holy heck a Miyako!!)

[And then there's her ever-bored....whatever you call the original you were designed to replace. Brother? Clone? Whatever, he'll use the twin card in public because it's easier to go with that than to explain things.

Either way. Yamato is there with her, glancing between the crowd and Miyako.]


You have a gun, you know.

[Does she? Yamato doesn't know. He knows he does, so he's assuming Miyako does.

Nobody ask how a seventeen-year-old got a gun here.]
beheadal: (Command)

a Yamato!!

[She's perfectly fine to use the twin card. Whether it's here or back in their world, she'd still call him "brother". Despite... the exact nature of their relationship and circumstances.]

I prefer my whip.

[Does she have a gun? Maybe somewhere under her coat. But it doesn't feel as comfortable as her whip in her hand.

And a more flexible range than her rapier, too.

[One of the mob chuckles and mutters something about kinky.

Oh look Yamato is pulling out his gun.]


What was that?
beheadal: (Serious)

[personal profile] beheadal 2018-09-08 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
[She turns her gaze in that general direction, frowning.]

If you have something to say, say it.

[All while she's carefully examining the crowd. To break through, or just beat them up?]

[The crowd goes silent, carefully side-eying everyone else to see if they can find the one who said it.]

Well? Did your bravery leave you?
beheadal: (Neutral)

[personal profile] beheadal 2018-09-13 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She rather not waste her energy on these people. On the other hand, making an (non-standard) example would probably deter them from chasing.

Her eyes slowly fall on a spot in the crowd, and then glance to another direction. They can break through one of these two points.
]

If none of you step up, we'll be leaving.

[With her free hand, she pick up the suitcase. An action to force the crowd to disperse, and then charging through.]
chiefdragon: (Tired)

[personal profile] chiefdragon 2018-09-13 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yamato shifts his weight ever so lightly, starting to push through the crowd and looking around. He will shoot if necessary.]
