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!

But...well. The case still needed to be protected. Not only that, but they were both going to be heroes, right? They were probably going to need to work together at some point, so why not start now?
That being said...]
Why are there so many of them?
[Seriously, just what was in this thing? Well, either way she was edging closer to the briefcase in case she needed to touch it.]
HELLO OCHAKO
'Cause if there were fewer, it'd be boring.
[Bakugou's not a bad combat partner, even if he's terrible company. Even as he steps forward, keeping Uraraka behind him - not because he doesn't trust her to be competent, he had faith in that much even before the sports festival confirmed it, but because it makes it easier for him to fire off explosions without worrying about her proximity to them - he's considering how to combine their quirks for maximum effectiveness in the inevitable fight they're facing. He concludes pretty quickly that applying her strategy from the sports festival in a cooperative setting would be best; it was a good strategy she used, after all, one he overcame only by having the raw power to blast through her coup de grace. If he aims his explosions at the ground, he'll make it hard for the thugs to approach them with any speed, and it'll throw up smoke and debris as cover as well; between the visual cover and slow-moving opponents, that'll give Uraraka plenty of leeway if she wants to rush in and hit any of them with her quirk.
He plots this all out within seconds. (Granted, recycling someone else's strategy doesn't take long.)
As the nearest thugs begin to charge forward, Bakugou aims an explosion at the ground in front of them, shocking the whole group and peppering the frontrunners with shrapnel.] Oi, Roundface! You remember the sports festival?
[He doesn't have the time or the inclination to lay out his plan for her, and spelling it out in front of their enemies wouldn't be the most tactical move anyway. But if she picks up on his reference, she ought to be able to work out the plan.
The hardest part of all of it will be that the same pitfall that was used against him in the sports festival still applies here. If Uraraka goes into the smoke, he won't be able to see her any more than their enemies can. That'll definitely limit how free he can be with his explosions if he wants to avoid friendly fire. And, on top of that, if she gets involved in the fight then she can't be focusing on the case, so he'll have to keep an awareness of it too...
It's going to be a balancing act. His and Uraraka's quirks don't synergize as well as, say, his and Kirishima's.]
HIYA KACCHAN
[How could she forget? She'd given her best effort but still come up short. The memory still stung despite all the hard work she'd done trying to improve since then. Maybe she wasn't a particularly prideful person, but that didn't make losing any easier to handle. Not when so much was on the line.
Nevertheless, she crouched close to the ground just like she had back then. Now she just had to worry about whether Bakugou would send up so much debris that her weight limit couldn't handle it. Or that the ones further back wouldn't try to disperse and surround them at the sides, which as it turned out, was a much more immediate problem.]
There's at the sides too!
[There were only one or two on her side though, so maybe she could handle this--no, she had to! At the very least, she had to try! She was close to the case and she didn't look as threatening as Bakugou, so it was entirely likely that the thugs didn't see her as much of a threat, but she was about to prove her own strength right then and there. Her heart was pounding as the thug with the knife came at her, but she stood up on her feet at repeated the steps in her head. First pivot, disappear, grab...and this time, throw! With that, she sent her attacker careening into another, knocking them over like errant bowling pins.
Ochaco put her fingertips together and let herself breathe. She really would have been in trouble if she couldn't throw him otherwise.]
