Test Drive #34

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 fresh new spring fashion trend is accessorized denim. Super-accessorized! Bells, chains, beads, zippers, belts and more drip from every inch of this season's hot styles, and the stores need someone to model their new stock -- and bring in the buyers. It's your job to convince the fashion-savvy residents of Tokyo that these new jeans are exactly what their wardrobe needs, without getting your five chain belts tangled.
A huge, panther-shaped ayakashi is haunting the streets of Asakusa, and the pigeons at the local pigeon shrine have disappeared! Take care of this feline predator so the surviving sacred birds won't end up as dinner on the wing.
The residents of an Ikebukuro high-rise have an unusual problem: no matter how sunny the day or how long it's been hanging, their laundry just won't dry! Do they have a moist microclimate? An ayakashi of mold and despair? Or do they just need someone to get all that wet laundry to the nearest laundromat with a dryer until the weather warms up?
A gardener in Ueno has planted a brand-new strain of muskmelon in his window boxes, and this plant is going wild! Vines have taken over the exterior of his apartment building, and beach-ball-sized fruit are popping up all over. He needs help bringing in the harvest… but his neighbors are begging for this plant to wind up in the compost heap so their lives can go back to normal. Whose side will you take?
A community art project is being hosted at the Tokyo Art Museum! Jigsaw-shaped pieces of wood about the size of a hand have been handed out to artists and crafters throughout Japan, and the pieces have just been shipped back. Now, they have to be assembled into one giant jigsaw puzzle for display. There's just one problem: someone forgot to number the pieces before they were shipped! Now they've got a 20,000 piece puzzle whose pieces don't match, and it has to be finished this weekend for the grand opening. Help!

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!
Adam Park | Mighty Morphin Power Rangers | Shink (will match format)
[Adam dodge rolled out of the way of the ayakashi's claws as it leapt at him. His reflexes were enough to keep him from getting mauled. But he also had no idea how exactly he could defeat this thing. He definitely couldn't do it alone.]
C'mon, can't you be a good kitty?
[He roar and leapt again. Nope. It couldn't. This time, as Adam dodged he managed to land a kick at its back to send it sprawling away. He wished he had his memories to figure out why this all felt like second nature to him. But, now wasn't the time to really think of such things. He panted a bit and caught sight of someone else in the area.]
Could use a little help here, buddy!
Melon Mania
[Arms full of muskmelon, Adam felt like he was caught between a rock and a hard place. The owner wanted him to harvest the melons while the neighbors wanted him to throw it all away. He understood both sides, but could anyone really win? He sighed.]
Why not just let him harvest the ones that have already grown and then the leftovers get thrown out? Sir, you can grow a new batch somewhere else after, can't you?
[That sounded like a neat compromise to him! Except they didn't seem to be listening to him now, arguing over him in fact.
Sigh. What to do with these melons?]
Melons
[Tyzias didn’t have the coffee mug she usually carried around with her this time, but that would be a good thing today since she was about to have her arms full of fruit.]
But they didn’t listen to mmmme either. I say wwwwe ignore themmmm if they don’t wwwwant our input, and do that. If the guy gets mmmmad I’ll try to talk himmmm dowwwwn. Mmmmake himmmm see sense.
no subject
Even if we ignore them, what do we do with the fruit?
[It's not like they could just give them to the nearest grocery store. That'd be easy, but it's just not how markets worked. Still, he didn't really like the idea of just ignoring these people.
Except they were already ignoring him. What a conundrum.]
This the others at the Far Shore would like some melons?
no subject
[Tyzias does go and grab the few that are left as she answers. She doesn’t know if they will, doesn’t think it likely seeing as they all seem to be mad already, but it could be worth a shot.]
Kitty Kibble
Working on it! SPD, Emergency!
[Morphing into the Red Ranger, Bridge charges back into the fray, firing one of the Delta Blasters at the cat.]
no subject
But this was an Ayakashi, it wouldn't go down this way. He dodged a claw swipe, making his way to Bridge.]
Ready?
no subject
[Not exactly the time for that though]
Come, Aki!
no subject
[An amused grin before complying to the command, becoming a thick, black and gold Power Axe. It was still a bit weird to become a weapon, at the mercy of his god. Adam couldn't see anything now, but he could still talk to Bridge and he could perceive the area around him.
It was all around weird and kind of cool.]
We got this, Bridge.
no subject
I know that. If I didn't think we did I wouldn't be here. But I am, so clearly I do think we do.
[Regaining its bearings, the cat charges again. This time, however, Bridge is ready for it.]
REND!
[Leaping into the air, Bridge swings Adam's blade right down on the panther's head.]
no subject
I'm trying! Do you want me to hit you too?!
[Now that they're separated, Chris opens with some light fire, but the ayakashi easily dodges it, prompting Chris to curse.]
no subject
[It felt like second nature, to be honest, to fight between crossfire. And most of the birds were gone anyway from the commotion.]
no subject
[Chris's crossbows convert into pistols, and she starts spraying shots in an effort to hit the ayakashi multiple times.]
Kitty Kibble
She was planning to help, but ir seemed like for a little bit he didn’t need it. So why step in when you can see what he guy had up his sleeves? Seemed he was physically adept at least. ]
Already?
Kitty Kibble
She wishes she could use her wings to give herself an extra boost.]
Not a moment too late. Shall we?
[Buddy. Honestly.]
