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!

Something interesting- [ He says in a conspiratorial tone as he leans closer (what is personal space) and then suddenly throws his hand up, opening it, allowing all the precious bread fall on the ground--- if his hand wasn't absolutely empty to begin with.
The gesture is so familiar it does trick the pigeons who immediately are sent into short fluttering flight as they land on the ground, awaiting the delicious rain to fall on the ground. Wait, what- there is nothing. ]
Looks like it was your freedom! [ Not one of the best of his jokes. And the pigeons are realizing they've just been tricked. A new challenger appears? ]
no subject
Before she has the chance to question his vague answer, she lets out a startled yelp at the sudden mass of fluttering wings-- a yelp that quickly melts into laughter.]
You're terrible! [Said without any real scolding tone of voice.] Tricking a god's sacred animal like that... you should hope they aren't offended by that.
[Her warning is too late, it seems; those that realize they've been tricked are pecking at his feet, like a little birdy attempt to push him around. You offered food, but didn't give it!! How rude!!]
no subject
Ack- [ He takes a step back, but the assault continues. Dammit!] Looks like they are- wait, fine, fine!
[ Here is a comical image of this mage-this god dancing furiously to get rid of the pecks on his toes - while also looking for something in the pocket of his robe. He finds a small bag, undoes it and throws the content away from himself- ]
Just don't choke on that rice- [ He turns to Ruler a little disgruntled, but that quickly fades away- because he can't feel bad when she's laughing, in fact, he has to laugh himself ] What can I say, it worked!
no subject
Ah, but did the rice do it? Or were they appeased by your eccentric display?
no subject
The rice appealed to their hunger, the- [ ugh ] -dance, to their artistic souls. [ Can pigeons appreciate art? Who knows! Best to turn the whole situation into a joke. Being attacked by birds - and for the second time here no less, is quite an amusing thing ]
What's next? Now that we are both free of their feathery clutches. [ Do you need a warp to a specific place? Dropping her at Zelda temple via friendly god teleport saves some time from accessing it through a shrine ]
no subject
Should we check the surrounding area? We were told the ayakashi was focusing on the temple, but the people nearby... we should make sure it hasn't attacked them as well.
no subject
Caster walks towards the direction of the normally closed-off portions of the shrine, but he pauses looking at the figure of shrine guardian- comes to think of it, to whom this shrine even belongs. ]
Shinto shrine- we might want to check to whom it belongs later. Always good to know who owes Metis a favor.
